Lady Gaga — Joanne Trattoria, NYC

$22-35 pasta. Grandma's meatball recipe. No Gaga branding. Just family.

Gaga's family opened Joanne Trattoria on the Upper West Side in 2012, named after her late aunt Joanne Germanotta. It's a traditional Italian-American restaurant run by her father Joe Germanotta. Pasta dishes run $22-35, notably $5 cheaper than the average Manhattan Italian entrée. The meatballs are Grandma Germanotta's recipe, and Yelp reviews range from "best Italian in Manhattan" to "overpriced tourist trap" — the truth is somewhere in the middle. It's a genuine family restaurant that happens to have the most famous person on Earth as its silent partner. No gimmicks, no gold leaf, no Gaga branding — just red sauce and family photos on the wall.
