    Onion Rings with Chipolte Mayo
    Julie B.

    I had been wanting to try this place for a while so Sis and I had lunch on a Sunday morning. We arrived shortly after it opened and the place was half full already. It looks big from the outside but the dining area is small and the bar area is even smaller (when comparing to a place like Chili's or Sammy's Pizzeria). I know that businesses are short staffer and we need to be patient but there was only 1 bartender and 1 waitress for the whole joint. We were sat at a table for 2 in the bar area. Drink and entree orders were taken. 2 Root Beers served were without flavoring syrup, just flat fizz. I made the bartender aware and they were replaced in due time. She only brought 1 root beer, not two and when I questioned why just one she snapped back that she didn't take my order. But I gave you two bad glasses!! Onion rings were delicious. Love that Chipolte Mayo. Sis's said her burger was good. Can't go wrong with a bbq burger. My hoagie however fell short. Even though it was a "hot hoagie " it was served more room temp. I could tell the cheese was melted and golden from a salamander oven but the bread was no longer warm to touch. It tasted better reheated up on my air fryer. Took a while to get our check since the place was at capacity and the waitress was busy with the dining room. Taking all things in to consideration, I'd rather do take-out vs dine-in in the future.

    A Minnesota staple, this location caught my eye due to the wooden cabin build. I didn't hate or love it as I dined in on a Friday evening. There was a short wait and we were seated on the lower level near the bar and fire place. An extremely clean interior, I was more impressed with the building then the food. There were three spacious bathrooms, a bar, a second level, and a pull tab station. The pull tab station had a poor placement wedged right between the bar and kitchen where servers walk in and out causing multiple traffic jams. Additionally, the pull tab dealer was not the most pleasant. The upstairs was extremely loud as there were kids screaming and running free-for-all with limited observance from parents. Once the kids left, our dining became more enjoyable. In terms of the food, the full hoagie sandwich had far too much lettuce and not enough sauce. The pizza was fine. I wouldn't come back at my own free will but wouldn't say no if I got invited.

    Been to this restaurant several times recently as we are trying to support local businesses. This is a great place to go. Their menu consists of a variety of Italian style food that goes beyond pizza. I have recently tried the calzone, and the pizza sandwich that is pictured in the review. Overall the quality of food is good, great service, and perfect atmosphere. Their prices are right given the serving portions. They also maintain a high standard of cleanliness, which is important. Speed of service has consistently been right based on wait time for service, and speed of food after order. I also appreciate the friendly service. Good review on the pizza sandwich. Prefer it to the calzone. Nice beer selection with taps, and bottles. Next time I am going to try the spaghetti and meat balls. Thank you for some great meals.

    We ordered from Carbone's Pizza the other night. We got a special they were offering of two large one topping pizzas. The were pretty good. We hadn't ordered from them for a long time and were pleased that it came hot and was pretty tasty. We will probably order again soon.

    We ordered a pizza from our neighborhood Carbone's. They had a two large pizzas for $24.99. When I placed the order they told me it would be an hour wait for delivery. It did take an hour and a half. At least the pizza was warm when it came. It tasted pretty good.

    Beef bites....Fantastic!!

    This is one of my very favorite places to get pizza or spaghetti and I'm sad that I now live on the other side of the Twin Cities so I don't get it as often :(. But now it is a treat whenever I go up to visit family! It's always a difficult choice between the pizza (which is always perfectly balanced ratio of toppings and always comes out hot and cheesy) and the Spaghetti and meatballs (which has a great sauce and tender meatballs). This time though we added something new to rave about....the Steak bites!! They were Amazing!! The flavor was fantastic, they were perfectly cooked, and it was a really nice portion as well. The atmosphere is in a very nice cabin styled building with lots of log interior and a fireplace inside which makes it a perfect place for a meal especially as it gets cooler outside :). Parking is easy and the service is good, but the star is really the food!!.

    Pizza sandwich is great, and a great value for lunch!
    Greg H.

    I've had many lunches at Carbone's over the past few years, and one of the best bangs for your buck is the Pizza Sandwich! It's like a medium pizza on a super thin crust, rolled up and cooked to crispy perfection. No, it's not a hot pocket, it's a million times better than that. It's delicious and a great value! Also, a hidden gem on the menu, is the burger. It's seriously delicious. It's a perfect juicy blend of beef and has a great grill flavor.

Great low key ambiance. Believe it or not, I had the meat loaf off the menu. The menu literally said "yes meat loaf, it's that good". It was good, almost like eating veal with beef gravy. The gravy and the meat had a good flavor, worth a try. The table next to me a lady had the chicken Alfredo and she went on and on about how good it was. Yes tables are close to each other. I also tried the tiramisu, menu stated it was home made. It was not bad, just the whipped cream was a little heavy and it needed a little more espresso on the lady fingers. The waitress was amazing. She was polite, professional and had a 1920's style dress on, not sure how she waited tables and was the hostess in the dress and kept up. But she did and did an amazing job. The chef's did come out and check on folks and even did food running. The staff overall was exceptional. I will have to go back and try some of the pasta as well.

All meat entrees come with both salad and pasta, making it a decent deal. Now on with the food itself, the pasta is amazing, the marinara sauce is some of the best I've had, the salmon is incredible, the lobster is ok, and the steak is some of the best I've had. I've had steak everywhere, from Florida to Alaska, and I have never had a steak like this, it was strangely tender, melt in your mouth, the fat was also a more meaty texture, probably due to the dry aging, overall one of the better steaks I've ever had. The atmosphere is quite casual for the quality of food, my group wore just T shirts. The actual building is nice, but quite old, could use a new ac, but the patio space is magical, with service just as quick. Before I conclude my review, I should note that there was some sign of mild mold in 2 of our waters, likely due to the ice machine, this is a common issue, and as far as I know, had no negative health effects. Overall the food was decently priced and quite good, not mind blowing, but delicious none the less. Small locally owned restaurant with fantastic service. Give it a try!

    Giuseppe Italian Ristorante is a quaint little eatery in New Brighton. We have been there several…read moretimes and it is almost always a great experience. The menu includes Italian mainstays like spaghetti, which is what I ordered tonight. The sauce is always perfect, a little tangy with a fresh tomato taste. I ordered a meatball and I was very disappointed by what I was served. It was a meat "nugget". However, shortly after serving my meal the waiter brought out a fresh meatball saying that the chef wanted me to have it because she thought the one with my spaghetti was "bad". That more than made up for my initial disappointment. My wife had the Baked Mosticolli Special and she was very happy with it. Each meal comes with a basket of homemade bread: a garlic bread twist, pepperoni bread, olive bread and traditional Italian bread. This is always a highlight. Tonight was no different. Normally I don't order dessert however tonight I ordered something called Papas Bread Pudding. This was heaven in a dish. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The butter rum sauce was delicious and a scoop of vanilla ice cream was the perfect topping. I would recommend Giuseppe's for Italian that is fresh and tasty.

Giuseppe's seems perpetually busy and the crowd starts very early. When we arrived last Saturday, there were only two tables left and one of those was a quirky half table. What makes this restaurant popular is the consistency of the food, the good service and the focus on popular old-school Italian food. All of the favorites are there and they are done well. My go-to is often the spaghetti and meatballs, which is so easy to prepare at home, but still worth going out for if the restaurant does it right. The entrees come with a soup or salad, both of which are good. On this particular visit, it was really cold outside and the Minestrone was hot, chunky, and full of fresh vegetables. They also serve (an increasingly rare) bread basket with a variety of different fresh baked breads, which are perfect for dipping into the olive oil. The chicken marsala and the frequent special of Chicken Parnassian are excellent too, as is their pasta. Pro Tip: They don't take reservations, so go as early as you can, even on a week night. They are not open on either Sunday or Monday, so factor that into your visit. They open at 4 pm and close at 8 pm, so the total open hours for the week are 20 hours!
