Abigail 408 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 My sister and I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. G last night and it was great! I've read countless stories about how fans have met Gaga, but not a lot about meeting her parents. Feel free to share your stories on how you met her parents! Mine's down below! Spoiler Okay, so this is kinda long, but I really appreciate this encounter bc I have never had the chance to meet Gaga! My sister and I are visiting NY and HAD to go to Joanne's. I booked a late night reservation that is out of the ordinary for us (first out of the norm thing that led us to her dad) . We had actually planned to cancel the reservation and go to a Broadway show instead, but that didn't work out (2nd luck happening!) At Joanne's we weren't on edge at all bc we had just read his insta about being at a concert. We were about to leave, but my Dad decided to get dessert, perfect timing bc we almost missed him (3rd lucky thing) ! Basically he walked in, my jaw dropped, he came and talked to us for awhile, and he asked to take a pic with us! So great!!! ALSO I know that some LM may think I'm being soooo dramatic, but like I said I've never met Gaga, so this is the closest I've ever been! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamelaisley 933 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 My mom knew that I loved Phantom of the Opera so she told me after she gets her tax return, we should go see it. I made a joke about going to Joanne afterwards and she said let's do it, let's make a whole day of it! So... I met Joe and Cynthia last March after we saw Phantom on Broadway. My mom kept talking to the waitresses and telling them that I'm Gaga's "#1 fan" and I'm like mom im sure they hear this all the time.. We asked if the Germanottas were coming and they said no not tonight but after i had dessert and I was getting ready to leave, i looked down the hall and saw Joe! I was shaking and freaking out, saying to my mom, "THAT'S HER DAD OMG!!!" We talked about growing up and living in New Jersey and then i asked to take a picture with him and if he could sign my cookbook (which I brought just in case) and a lot of people here actually got mad at me. They said "even though i love my fave i'd never want to meet their parents that's just weird." So yeah now i just feel s#itty whenever i think about meeting them.. I'm too embarrassed to go and look for the topic i made on it. the moon lights her way 🌖🦇 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abigail 408 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 @Pamelaisley that’s so sweet of your mom and what a cool experience!! i don’t understand how people aren’t interested in meeting one of the closest people to Gaga-besides he was so funny and nice! also I totally freaked out when I saw him, especially bc I didn’t believe there was a chance he would come!

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I was at Joanne's a couple years ago. Joe was there and passed my table a few times. I did end up asking for him but he left. Idk, it does sort of feel awkward asking to meet Gaga's folks lol. But I feel like as long as you compliment the restaurant it's fine. Does anyone know if Joe and Cynthia get annoyed with fan greetings? lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too embarrassed to go and look for the topic i made on it. Aww cute!! I don't think it's weird to have met her parents at all! Especially not at the restaurant, and I have my reasoning for that: The restaurant is strongly linked to Gaga, they reference her everywhere! The dishes or drinks (cant remember) are named after Gaga things, you can find special awards and certificates on the wall as well as pictures of Gaga everywhere. In its own its almost like a hardrock cafe for Gaga fans. When I was in NYC in 2017, I went to Joannes by myself. The menu was a bit too expensive for my budget, so all I ordered was a salad and I really enjoyed the experience and just looking around. I didn't see Gaga's parents, but it seemed like a very welcoming space to just say hi if they had been there.The kind waiter asked me if I wanted to take some flyers and my receipt afterwards as a memory, so I guess I wasn't as subtle as I thought. Joe once responded a wave back when I was close to him at the Joanne tour, but it was right before Gaga cancelled the rest of her tour and he looked kinda worried the whole show so his wave was pretty expressionless too and I felt like I perhaps intruded a bit by acknowledging him there.. woops.

Muche86 223 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I meet Joe last year im january after the grammys. We ordered a table to watch the grammy awards there. Then when gaga performed , the crew watched the performance with us. We ate and i go out to smoke a cigarette... and a lady said ohhh hi joe your daughter was great. We are so proud of you...and i looked behind me and it was her dad and he said hi too me to and i was so shocked at this moment. A little bit later i asked a crew member if its possible to take a pic with joe. She sais she will asked him. And 15 min later he came to our table and asked who wants to meet me. I stand up and he asked me where we are coming from. I said from germany Bavaria. I said....oh we ate schnitzel in Hamburg. And he come back to germany at the last show to berlin ( joanne world tour). I said that we would go to cologne to see the show. And i said, your daughters performance at the grammys was so good and she deserved a grammy for Joanne. (We know talent always wins). And then we took a pic togheter. 30 minutes later he went at home and said good night to us. I will go to the Joanne Trattoria again. The food is great (we had spaghetti with meatballs) and the crew is so sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
