"We've listed this classic pasta and bean dish as an entree, but if you're packing plenty of appetite, or are willing to share with another diner, it's also a great appetizer. This is the version in broth with fennel. It's also available with cream sauce, with marinara, and with potatoes and kale."

"Paisano salad = carrots, peppers, olives, meats, cheeses, cabbage and lettuce. For $2 extra, you can have delicious garlic basil dressing (pictured here)."
Michael Stern
"Roasted peppers with gorgonzola cheese are served atop tiles of garlic toast in a puddle of aromatic olive oil. Mmmm-good!"
Michael Stern
"This handsome plate is actually stuffed peppers. The bright red pods are filled with breathtakingly hot ground Italian sausage and served on a bed of al dente spaghetti noodles."
Michael Stern
"Julio's makes its own 'French-filled' eclair. It is guaranteed to sate any sweet tooth."
Michael Stern
"Each table in this otherwise traditional Italian restaurant is outfitted with a working Lava Lite."
Michael Stern
"The old Elk Point neighborhood of Clarksburg remains an Italian stronghold. Julio's is a pillar of the traditions."
Michael Stern
Across from the train station in the old Elk Point section of Clarksburg, Julio's is a first-rate Italian restaurant with a tin ceiling, carved wooden bar, and plush leather booths that are, incongruously, outfitted with Lava Lites. While the food is excellent, and clearly prepared by a chef with culinary expertise, prices are reasonable and service is neighborhood-friendly.
