Giuseppe's Italian Restaurant

It's been quite a long time since I ate an elegant, full service Italian meal at Giuseppe's Italian Kitchen; if they have maintained the standards, you can expect a very authentic experience, with superior service and a fitting wine list of Chianti and Cabernet Sauvignon red wines to accompany your meals.It's a very esteemed role that I play here now, acting as a restaurant reviewer for the Fort Worth branch of the popular Yelp app, which may be more fun than a typical former university lecturer in Management and Organizational Behavior allows himself. Cheers,Mark F.

Our first visit....Flies, flies, flies in the dining area- possibly in the kitchen too? Floors were very dirty. Our silverware was not clean. We won't be returning for a 2nd visit.

Salmon was amazing. Mushroom mustarda was amazing. Ambience not so great but waiter Carter was the best. Since the ambience was so boring, I was not expecting the food to be good but I was surprised!

The restaurant is located in an area with beautiful period homes. It looks like a residential home on the outside. We entered behind another couple and there was only one other couple in the restaurant. The table was covered in black tablecloth and the lighting was yellow and dim. It was difficult to read the menu and I had to take out my phone flashlight to see it clearly. Our server was friendly and prompt. She was nice, but she never introduced herself. We ordered:-Bruschetta ($5.95). Rate - 8/10, definitely different, but nice flavor, needs more tomatoes and basil.-Granchio (crab-stuffed mushrooms) $7.95. Rate - 5/10 & 8/10 - I didn't like it that much. The "champaine" sauce drowned the flavor of the filling. I could not taste the crab due to the sauce. My husband liked it. -Insalata Caprese ($7.95). Rate - 6/10 - Large, thick slices of mozzarella. Included lots of ingredients, but husband said just okay. -Veal piccata (Grilled veal scaloppini sauteed in lemon butter sauce, w/mushrooms & capers) $15.95. Rate - 6/10 - Husband said it was different. Described it "like a chicken fried steak with a lemony sauce." He said the noodles sauce was like from a bottle. -Pasta Della Positana - after server suggestion instead of lasagna.(Pasta with italian sausage, ground beef, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions in an alfredo sauce with a touch of marinara ($15.95). Rate 6/10 - I was excited to get this because server said she would pick this over the traditional lasagna dish. When she brought it, my first impression was "Spaghetti and meatballs?" I flipped the meat over and that's when I saw the marinara sauce was covering the sausage and the ground beef underneath. The alfredo sauce was underwhelming. The dish was just okay. I wish I had selected the lasagna.

Authentic, cozy, and so nice for a large group if you call ahead or a small date night. In an old 2 story victorial right off the square in historic Denton, this place has been a staple for years and years. The staff are either family or mostly long time friends of the family of the owners ans really pour themselves into their work and service. Rhere is nothing better than authentic Italian dishes. Simple and flavorful. We love GGiuseppes!

This place is not for me. The lighting is far too dark and made seeing our food so difficult we literally took out cell flash lights in order to see what we were eating. The server forgot my dessert which was my meal so I never ate it.The house salad is the saddest salad I've ever seen. The kitchen and restroom are less than kept to the standard I refer and deserve.I would never come to a locale like this again. Definitely prefer a chain.

Such a great place! We held our wedding rehearsal dinner here and they were so accommodating. We have been since and the quality of the food is still amazing for such a great price. Great selection between food and drinks.

Food was awesome! Waiter was super sweet and quick service! Super cute place with cool homey vibe that makes it feel like home cooking

Giusseppe's grandmother turned in her grave last night!This place is an insult to Italy and it's great cuisine. We were a group of eight and only one person ordered a dish with marinara sauce, and although the rest of us all ordered different dishes, they all looked and tasted the same. All were covered in some sort of the same whitish sauce. I ordered chicken artichoke in a lemon butter sauce and what I got was 1/4 of a piece of canned artichoke, no lemon, no butter. The accompanying pesto pasta was green but had no taste at all. No idea what this Italian chef is thinking when his dishes leave his kitchen.The greatest insult of the evening was the server, who came around with parmesan cheese. Oh boy, this powder was straight out of a plastic can.The service was as bad as the food, slow and painful by 8:20 we got out checks handed although we were still sitting, talking, drinking. The credit card machine also died that night and some of us were forced to pay in cash. Guiseppe should also invest in a decent dishwasher, the plates were dirty and sticky underneath.In all, save your money, go to Kroger buy a package of pasta, a jar of fettuccine sauce and a nice bottle of wine. Cheaper and better.

Chef Boyardee makes better tortellini. The sauce was thin and flavorless. The tiramisu was made with Hershey's syrup and a Cool Whip. Terrible.
