Giuseppes

Giuseppes is a good Italian restaurant. Many of their menu items sounded amazing. We tried the eggplant parmesan and the chicken marsala. The food was really good. Our service was good. Friendly and our fast came out fast. This is a great Italian restaraunt on the East side.

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon and was seated within a few minutes. We were greeted quickly and served beverages and garlic bread. The oil & balsamic vinegar on the table were an amazing addition to the soft freshly baked bread. We ordered the bruschetta for an appetizer and YOU NEED TO TRY IT. The flavors excite your palate. We used Michael's knowledge of the menu to order and I wanted to add chicken to the penne alla vodka, but he said the shrimp is better & it was a great suggestion. I basically licked my plate clean. The group I was with loved all their dishes as well. We finished with the tiramisu & the subtle espresso flavor with the softness of the lady fingers.... Incredible. We will be back!!

Decided to try Giuseppes recently. I was hungry for Italian. I went in around 12:30 pm. The restaurant was very quiet. I was greeted quickly and given menus and water. I didn't find anything I wanted on the lunch menu, so I chose Chicken Marsala. It was some of the best that I ever had. I ordered a house salad as well.The Marsala had spinach along with the mushrooms, which was a nice touch. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the Marsala sauce was divine. The bread was delicious. I don't really care for leftovers, so I stuffed myself with that delicious meal. What a great find close to me.

While visiting Tucson I stopped in here for a bite before leaving town. I walked in on a sunday night and the place was pretty busy. I took a seat at the bar and ordered a plate of spicy rigatoni and a glass of their house red wine. I was given complimentary bread which the bartender said was not as good as it used to be :-( I still thought it was great so it must have been amazing before. The food was great and the service was just right too. I definitely recommend this spot!

This isn't a typical lunch venue. This is more high end Italian food. When my brother and I arrived, there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Our waitress came over immediately and offered beverages and water. They have a full service bar with several draught beers on tap. The restaurant itself appears to be closer to fine dining with their very nice tablecloths and place settings. We ordered the Neopolitan pizza which was a combination of mushrooms, olives, sausage, cheese and red sauce touched by some basil leaves on top. It was delicious and really hit the spot. The 2 of us finished the entire pie. After that, no room for dessert. I recommend for lunch as well as dinner.

I had the fettuccine Alfredo and my husband had the Italian sausage sandwich. Servings are huge, service was great and everything was delicious!

A middle of the week outing is such a treat! The hub and I joined two friends for an early 5:00 dinner at Giuseppe's on Tuesday evening. Situated in a busy shopping center at 22nd and Harrison, there was plenty of close parking and a very short walk in the restaurant. Our friends were already seated, so we joined them. Happy Hour is between 3:00 and 6:00, with drink specials and $8.00 appetizers. It was our first visit but our friends had been many times. They decided to share a couple appies and a dinner. Their shrimp scampi smelled divine and, someone, I won't mention names, spooned up the garlic butter sauce after the shrimp were just a memory. They also enjoyed a cheese garlic bread that I tasted and definitely approved. For dinner, they ordered the chicken piccata. Two half breasts, nestled in pasta and wine sauce, made a substantial entree, certainly large enough to split.The hub and I didn't order appetizers but munched on the complementary bread while we waited for our food. The bread is divine: warm and crusty outside, soft inside. Both butter and olive oil are served for the bread. The hub ordered the meatballs in a house-made ricotta sauce with farfalle. The meatballs were tender but rather bland, he said. He did approve the pasta and sauce. I chose the eggplant parm because it is something I don't make at home, and it was terrific. Eggplant likes to soak up oil, which can make it greasy and heavy, but this eggplant was crispy and light and tasty. They were out of linguine, so it was served with angel-hair pasta and red sauce. I found the sauce, or gravy, lacking in flavor. I tend to cook and season assertively, and think it would have benefitted from some salt, pepper, garlic, and maybe onion. Service was impeccable. Our waiter was helpful and efficient. Water was kept topped off; he even came by with his trusty cheese and grater a second time. He offered and brought to-go boxes (the food was generously sized) and we looked forward to leftovers for dinner tomorrow.

Okay folks this is what I love most...only being open since May 2023 they completely have their service standards down pat. The manager Julio visits every table to check in with guests...they constantly had someone to come by and check our drinks...it was such a nice surprise. Has a nice size outdoor patio, inside tables, and bar seating. As you walk up you can already start to smell the garlic and yummy spices. The menu had a nice selection without being overwhelming. I didn't see vegetarian or gluten-free options. The lunch menu is full-size portions before 3! Wow! Additionally, the happy hour menu includes lots of options including shrimp scampi and muscles in wine sauce for $8!!! The gifts just keep on giving! We tried the penne pasta in vodka tomato cream sauce with spicy sausage and the chicken Marsala. It was delicious so we will be back.

First off the food is delicious, but today we found out why . They have a German roach problem . They took it off the table like it was nothing and ignored us, So we left.

Guy answers my call without any hospitality, just had an attitude of not wanting to do his job. I still made a reservation only to get there and not be served at the time we agreed on over the phone. The food took long to make without it being that busy, which i now see why people dont go here. Once the food arrived it was mid not worth the wait, definetly not worth the price, the dough on there pizza was under cooked, even the lettuce in their salad tasted unwashed. Like how do you mess up a salad.....and the worst part was the roach i saw on the wall beside me as i left. I wish i wouldve saw that earlier and save myself the 2 hour dinner i had 40 min of that being me actually eating. Bad service, bad food, bad everything. Been here a total of 2 times the ladder being me giving them a second chance only to remind me why im never going here again.
