What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Giuseppe's Italian Restaurant is lauded for its authentic Italian cuisine, particularly its gourmet pizzas and warm, welcoming atmosphere. Diners appreciate the friendly and attentive service, making it a go-to spot for special occasions and casual dinners alike. However, some reviews mention inconsistent pasta quality and small salad portions.
"This place is such a gem! The food was incredible, the servers are so kind and they see to your every need with a smile making you feel welcome and part of the family.
I got the calamari for an appetizer, they were lightly breaded and seasoned well, as was the marinara to dip it in.
I got the peach and arugula salad which was out of this world, I can't wait to make this a weekly rotation at home! The arugula was delicious and fresh, the red onion sliced perfectly thin. With all those flavors combined they harmonized in such a beautiful way: smoky, funky, sweet and peppery!
For my main course I got the carbonara, I was over the moon when I read the ingredients list and saw that it's very authentic. The pasta had a little chew thankfully so it wasn't just gummy and overcooked, and it wasn't overloaded with sauce, and the perfect amount of guanciale and peccorino was used so it didn't become too salty.
For dessert I got the tiramisu and it was a triumph, so sweet without being too rich, just the right amount of coffee flavor so it wasn't too bitter.
This place will definitely become one of my regulars for special occasions!"

"I had Chicken Parm and the noodles were overcooked. My wife had lobster rigatoni with vodka sauce (not exactly what it was called). She thought her portion size was pretty small and she ate her entire plate for the first time maybe ever so it was either small or perfect for her. Our kids both had the kids Alfredo and enjoyed it. The bread was pretty bad in my opinion and the salads that came with the pasta were the smallest I've ever seen. You can get a better portion size, for a lesser price, with the same flavor if not better elsewhere."

"Stumbled across this restaurant while in the area. The servers were very friendly and the restaurant had a homey, cozy atmosphere.
We ordered the calamari to start and I ordered the meatballs with pasta. Both were delicious! The entree also came with a very flavorful tomato and gorgonzola soup. I also tried the lentil soup, which was also very tasty. The complementary bread rolls were a nice addition.
Overall, enjoyed a nice meal in this gem of a restaurant!"

For a hearty Italian meal, this off-the-beaten-path spot is the place to be!. Pizzas rule here, although the other dishes are also excellent. The Caesar salad with smoked oysters is outstanding.
