Giuseppe's

Always wanted to try this place as I pass by it everyday. We finally made it our mission to go here for dinner. I was already expecting this place to be good as they have so many good reviews already. Let me say I was proven right. Food was awesome and Preston our waiter was top notch with service. Glad we came and now we'll be back

Terrible. Just awful. Upon entering it smells like a musty closet. Once seated the ambiance was strikingly awkward. The restaurant is dead silent. We were very hopeful for the food but were disappointed with a cold sandwich that looked like a school lunch and the pizza was definitely from the freezer. The service wasn't great either we had to keep reminding the boy to bring our drinks and salad. This place is a disaster.

I dined for lunch at Giuseppe's this week for the first time and found it by luck since I'm rarely in this area. It's located in the center of a strip center with parking in front and a small but attractive outdoor courtyard with two tables for outside dining. Inside there is a small foyer and what appears to be three separate dining areas. It has a "local neighborhood" feel to it. After being seated and presented the menu I opted to order the Chicken a la Shoemaker for $17.75. This dish is also listed on their smaller lunch menu for $14.25 and is the same portion size but comes with a side salad for the extra $3.50. First to appear was a complimentary bread basket and oil for the table to share and we enjoyed it. The bread was warm and buttered. Shortly after, my salad appeared with greens, tomatoes and croutons in a tasty vinaigrette dressing and I liked it. About 10 minutes later the entree arrived in a large bowl. It consisted of chicken breast chunks sautéed with lemons, sliced mushrooms, spices and onions in a white wine broth on a bed of Angel hair pasta. I thought this was a good tasting meal with a savory flavor to the food with the onions and spices contributing to the chicken and pasta. I would have liked a little more food in the bowl but all in all it was a satisfying meal. During the meal the background music was enjoyable and the table service prompt and professional. I would be happy to return when in the area.

How have I missed this place?! Thank goodness... a place in the champions area with a proper sauce! :::sigh::: I've been so sad not having a nearby go to joint and now I've finally found one. Mangia! I stopped for a quick bite and ordered the eggplant parmigiana. Great sauce, Al dente spaghetti, firm eggplant with perfect crispness to the breading. Service was prompt and just attentive enough. Looking forward to trying the manicotti and pizza on my next go round. The fresh bread and oil with herbs was a lovely way to prepare for the entree. Happy diner here. The interior... well... it's certainly nothing to write home about but that wasn't a priority for my visit. It's definitely time to update the flooring and 90s era wallpaper. Bless. But the food? Solid and I'm sold. I'll be back.

I finally came here and gave this place a shot. Upon arrival, they indicated they've been in business for 39 years, wow, didnt know that! After leaving, my visit made me wish I would have come much sooner!Their menu is reasonably priced with entrees ranging from 10 to 19, with pizza on the lower end and seafood dishes on the higher end. I noticed their chicken dishes are also around 18, not sure why they're so much. I also tried a bite of their grilled chicken from another plate that my table mates ordered and chicken was cooked perfectly. And even juicy too!They start each table off with their bread, and a plate of olive oil and garlic. Its really easy to eat all of these they're so good.There were a few dishes that were sautéed, so thats a good sign its a legit place. I ended up ordering Canneloni, which was priced slightly higher than my usual order of lasagna at Italian restaurants. Both dishes are baked of course and contain a good amount of cheese.The dish comes with a salad, and I chose ceasar. The salad is decent with fresh sliced parmesean cheese. The entree comes with 3 good sized stuffed canneloni with beef and spinach. Not sure, but it sort of tasted like sirloin. There is a good amount of melted mozzarella on top and their homemade red sauce under that. The pasta was cooked perfectly. Since I had eaten so much bread, 2 iced teas, and 2 drinks shortly before dining here, I was stuffed.I left with a feeling that I would definitely be back. This is my kinda place, not too fancy, not too casual, one location only, great restaurant name too. One negative was that there was no background music. I could go for some soft Italian music which would make this place even better than it already is. Yes, there is a patio for dining al fresco too, if you can stand the heat. One of the coolest parts was upon leaving, they have about 20 jars of various candy at the counter, all of which are free. Some places give you mints, but not here...you get your choice from tons of candies...its like a mini candy shop!

My friend and I stopped by on our lunch break, she'd been wanting to try it out. I am so glad we did, their food is absolutely delicious. We walked in and I just felt like I had stepped into a restaurant from the Godfather, which I knew was a good sign. It's definitely family owned and is very intimate. Would be great for a date night. We both ordered the chicken alfredo spicy. It was sooo good! Perfect consistency for the sauce and full of flavor. They served it with freshly made bread and olive oil. The bread was perfection, light and buttery. You also get a salad, I got the caesar salad, which was also tasty, I enjoyed the food so much, I ended up bringing my husband back for date night that same week. The portions are perfect! Not to much not to little just right. Service was great! Staff if very friendly. If your a fan of Italian food I highly recommend you trying this place out.

Appetizers we tried the mozzarella sticks and the calamari both were great I love the fact that they were fried but you couldn't taste any heavy oils like most places. The calamari was fried perfectly and the tomato's sauce was amazing. The fresh bread and olive oil OMG! I could drink that olive oil If you order the salad and you like creamy Italian dressing was sooo delicious I loved it. Entrees: My son has the fettuccini Alfredo with grilled chicken the Alfredo was good it was heavy but it was had a light cream sauce which made it very enjoyable and not overwhelming with cream. I had the salmon with the lemon caper sauce if it's your first time here get this plate it did not dissapoint I finished my entire plate and the serving portion is a perfect size. The sauce was soo good it's not a heavy cream either it was light and didn't overpower the salmon it complemented it very well. My husband had the grilled salmon which he completely finished his entire plate with both sides was broccoli and the green beans with garlic. He said everything was delicious. The ambiance is a little old looking however all I cared about is that restaurant was very clean. Their is no odd smells clean linen tablecloths and great service from our waiter. He did a great job with our refills and providing good service Im so glad we came here we will definitely be back. Sorry no pics of the food we're hungry!

Such a great restaurant tan by great people. I love the food here and the classy cozy vibe! Will be back for more of that great home cooked pasta!

The place smells like my cat's litter box and needs a serious overhaul. It says it all when the owner sits in the front of the restaurant with his bills and mail and stares at his customers. I have no clue why or how people find the food tasty at Giuseppe's. The marinara tasted like it was straight out the can. Lasagna looked like it was stouffers and fresh out the freezer. The Alfredo ... plaster of Paris is softer when Giuseppe's Alfredo sauce cools. There are so many better places nearby. P.S. this place is popular with gossipy church crowds, so beware.

Tasty, but they don't serve much. Pasta is not expensive to make or buy, at least give more of that!
