Giuseppe's Ristorante Reviews

If you love real Italian food, make sure you go to Giuseppe's. I will definitely go back again.

Eggplant parmigiana was fabulous & murals on the walls are beautiful. It was nice to have a conversation with my lady friends. Some restaurants can be noisey!

3 of us dined in on Sunday at about 5pm. First time here. The food was great...especially the Carbonara. The place is small, but I liked that about it. The service is really poor. There was 1 server and 1 busser/helper. The server forgot one of our requested appetizers, so we needed to remind her. The busser was either not trained or just didn't care. He was moving at a snail's pace. While I witnessed the server being overwhelmed with so much to do, the busser literally stood around doing nothing. He could have assisted her with getting some of the beverages and pre-bussing the tables to remove dirty dishes, etc. He started to clear a table at one point then just walked away...came back from the kitchen and stood there as if there was nothing for him to do even though he had dirty tables to clean. When we finished eating, we sat there with dirty dishes and uneaten food that we wanted to package to go. Although we sat there and the busser saw that we were finished eating, he offered no assistance with getting us take-out containers or clearing the dishes. The server then asked if we wanted dessert...after looking around at our table full of plates and glasses, I just said...no dessert....just some boxes and the check please. I actually wanted dessert, but decided it wasn't worth the effort. I am very familiar with the restaurant industry, and I know good food is only part of the package...If you have bad service, the food is not worth the trip. I urge you to train or retrain the staff because they were pretty much clueless. I will try you again, but if my experience is the same or similar the next time, that will be my final time.

Lovely take out Napolitano pizza!

This place use to be a good place to go and eat, food was excellent, as well as to order out, but the last couple of months it has been on the decline. We had had order food couple of weeks ago and it wasn't that good, so we thought maybe they had a new cook, we ate what we could and threw the rest away. My son and his wife also order food and had the same experience and thought there was a new cook. We decide to give it another try hoping things had gone back to the way they were. I had ordered Chicken Francese which is suppose to have a creamy lemon sauce. We get the food home and there is no sauce on the penne pasta, I call to complain because we have made enough concessions and though enough was enough. the girl told me i had to send them a picture of the food. I said "WHAT" you think I'm lying to you. They come back to the phone after much back and forth and tell me that I am going to have to bring the food back to them if i want a replacement! This is a place that we were going to on a weekly bases! I bring the food back and some short Italian woman brings me the new food and says, "we will give you the food but there was sauce on it" I said there was not, so she is going to argue with me and she proceeds to go get the food that I had just returned. At that point I had had enough. This is a place, that I have told so many people about, because we had been there so many times and the food was good. And now I have some little Italian women telling me that I was wrong and there was sauce on the pasta, when clearly there was not. We spent $70 for take out. When we go inside we spend between $150-$250 depending if the kids are with us. Not any more! I have no idea what has happen to this place but I will no longer recommend it nor will we go there. It is an absolute shame we try and support local businesses, not this one any longer.

Loved it since they were in Lansing

Apparently you need to make a reservation now to eat here and it's not mentioned anywhere on the website we stood in the restaurant for over 15 minutes before we were even acknowledged despit 6 workers all standing behind the counter none of them even bothered to ask us if we needed help and despite and open table we were told over an hour wait

Food was great as usual. Service was non-existent. We came on a Friday night at 8 o’clock. They had no bread. They said they would bake some more, but never did. The waiter brought our pizza and never came back to the table. The owner and our waiter sat two tables away from us talking to a couple the entire time.

A small Italian restaurant with very good food. Went for lunch and had a delicious red wine, not dry, which I like. Had eggplant parmesean with side of spaghetti. Really good! I ate it all. Served with bread.
