  Looking for great Italian food and amazing service? Look no more. This family owned restaurant has it all and you will not regret it, you will become a regular, I speak from experience. Both locations are great.

  Used to be such a great restaurant. Beware, it has recently changed hands. Took my two daughters out for their birthday. Chicken parmishan, over cooked chewy chicken in soggy breading. Meatballs in overcooked pasta that globbed together in a soft mush. The capresse salad was good. Our waitress forgot about us, it was hard to get our check to leave. As we were walking out a roach skittered underneath the table. Yeah... we won't be back.

  I was really looking forward to dining at Giuseppe’s on Oracle Rd. Great reviews, loved the photos I saw online, good happy hour, and gluten-free options. I even called ahead of time and spoke with someone about the gluten-free options (David, who turned out to be our server) and he was very helpful and pleasant on the phone. But the dining experience was sorely disappointing and I’m not sure whether we would return or not based on that experience. David’s service was attentive and pleasant, the wine was really good, and my pork carbonara dish was pretty good - the pork chop itself was delicious and perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked; the pasta was creamy and pretty good, but just lacking a bit in flavor (cheese?). I’m not a fan of cherry tomatoes in carbonara but no big deal, still overall, it was a very good dish. But here is where it went wrong. My wife ordered the grilled pork, which according to the menu is slices of pork topped with spinach and mozzarella served over linguine with red sauce. She asked if they could switch the red sauce out for another (non-red) sauce. David suggested either Alfredo or a white wine sauce, and my wife asked for the white wine sauce. And gluten-free pasta.

Since I had called earlier to ask about gluten-free or gluten-sensitive options, and they said they have GF pasta and GF pizza crust, David let the kitchen know to start the pasta water (which is a nice accommodation) as soon as we arrived - although my wife wasn’t sure yet, having not looked at the menu, whether she really did intend to have a dish accompanied by pasta. But that’s fine if they want to start it early. We sat there for a good 25-30 minutes after ordering, wondering what was going on with the food, since we were one of only two tables at the time. We tracked David down and he apologetically told us there had been some kind of issue with the chef “getting the dishes switched around” (??) and that they had to start the order over again, and that he appreciated our patience. After a while, the entrees arrived. My pork carbonara looked good. My wife’s pork dish, even after waiting that long and having them re-do the entrees, had a few issues - 1) it was served with pasta with red sauce, not the white wine sauce she’d asked for; 2) uncertainty over whether the pasta is indeed gluten-free because it’s possible that they have GF spaghetti, but in our experience, it’s very unusual for a restaurant to offer GF spaghetti. Usually it’s penne or a similar shape. But David did double check and said it really is GF spaghetti. I was suspect myself when I tasted the dish, because GF pasta has a tendency to fall apart or dry out and I couldn’t really tell that this was GF pasta. So maybe it was just really good GF pasta; and 3) the pork wasn’t sliced, it was whole. And possibly breaded. 

When we noted the dish was supposed to be white wine sauce over GF pasta, David again apologized and said the chef was “flustered” (his word, not mine). Not sure how a whole 2 tables flusters a chef, but okay. At this point, after all this time, and my dish being served correctly and hot, we were not about to send the dish back AGAIN while I sit there eating mine while it’s still hot. 

We had originally thought, when first seated, that we might order dessert or at least the good looking after dinner drinks. But we just wanted to get the heck out of there as fast as we could. Not sure we’d return.

  The food is consistently enjoyable, but our waitress, Cassandra, made it a special night for my wife and I. She is professional, experienced and knowledgeable with a delightful and engaging personality. A truly fun evening, thank you Cassandra.
