The chef, Giuseppe, loves what he does and you can experience that love in his dishes. Always a great experience here and the bar next door gives you options if you're in the mood for a cocktail or two - Giuseppe's will hand you a separate bill for your bar tab. Works for me! read more

Another delicious meal and service. This time I had the shrimp Marinara served with angel hair. The dish also has mussels and clams and the tomato sauce is delicious. We tried the cafe Giuseppe for dessert which I their version of an affogato and it was really good. read more

Casa Giuseppe - Shrimp Marinara with mussels and clams - Italian Near Me - Lyndhurst, New Jersey

The highlight of this place was the back lit menus. They were so unique and helpful. We were seated quickly as it seemed like a large party had just cleared. The service was quick. We didn't know the place was byob but luckily they allow you to get drinks from the neighboring restaurant bar 503. The bartender literally walked over from the bar and shook the martini table side. We ordered the burrata to share. The portion size was good for a party of 3. No real frills just authentic Italian. My friends got the seafood platter while the other got the cheese ravioli. They was nothing left over of either so it's safe to assume they liked it. I got the chicken parm. It's served on a bed of angel hair pasta. The portion size was huge for this plate but the ravioli needed more. Luckily they give bread prior to the meals. The cheese used for the chicken parm had hints of something other than parm. The prices are slightly high as there is nothing really special in taste, presentation compared to other local Italian spots. read more

This place had fantastic service, the manager was so friendly and checked in on us frequently that's so nice to see. The food was great i'd say the highlights were the mussels in red sauce and my entree the chicken fontina was really good, the vodka sauce is very rich so make sure you're ready for a big meal. The holiday decorations were warm and cozy! Would definitely come back and it's byob so bonus! read more

Great hidden gem with delicious food, homemade bread and great portions with reasonable prices. It's a BYob but also has a bar attached that you can get cocktails and walk over to enjoy at your table since bar and restaurant are connected. read more

Casa Giuseppe is my favorite Italian restaurant! The food there is fabulous! You can bring your own wine which saves money and order a fabulous cocktail from Bar 503 next door! All the bartenders there are the best! read more

Casa G is our favorite neighborhood restaurant ! It's nestled in the little town of Lyndhurst. It's our go-to for delicious Italian food. Everything on the menu is scrumptious. Chef Joey's food is always spot-on. That's why we keep coming back. The generous portions are perfect for sharing or taking home.(trust me, reheating it the next day is still just as delish!) If you're ever in the area, you have to check them out ! Bring your family &/or friends or come for a date night! Thank me later ! read more

Terrible! We made reservations for a party of 12, we started off great greeted by Manolo our server that introduced himself and told our half of the table the specials we were waiting for another couple that could not find parking because when our friend made the reservations, no one told her that we could find off street parking at the VFW so our friend was looking for a spot for over 20 minutes, finally when the last couple arrived, we ordered our food only to find that at that time that our time there was limited and we could only be there for two hours and we had to leave, because the other party would be arriving at their time, we were still eating and the server starting rushing us taking the dishes away because they needed the table and supposedly the owner approached our party and said there is a time limit when I go out to dinner two hours it's enough and we have to get the table ready for the next party. Some of us engaged and very dismissive. She says I have four stars if you don't like it, you don't have to come back.! The food was mediocre a little better than fast food overpriced dishes!!! a 20+ dollar seafood salad that tasted freezer burned, the veal was tough, the Bronzino two tiny little pieces, the clams oragonata 6 pieces that came out id a box! I approached the owner on private and again very dismissive and not concerned at all, in trying to accommodate or even apologetic for picking up our dishes while we will still eating and I our glasses when we were still drinking! Needless to say, I am a local person. It will never go back as for my friends, All 12 of us will never be back not worth the money! There is so much better near by! If there was a MINUS 5 star that's what they deserve! read more

My friend Doug Eppel and I were in Lyndhurst so we decided to visit a place that I have heard great things about. Casa Giuseppe on Valley Brook Avenue. Cool little Italian Restaurant. An old-school Italian vibe and ambiance provided a very comfortable, relaxing dining atmosphere. Pristine and nicely decorated, it appeared to be a neighborhood favorite. The food and friendly and attentive service was exceptional. Thank you to our server, Nelson. After an ample, mouth water Burrata appetizer, served over arugula and fresh tomatoes, I ordered the Zuppa Di Pesce, a fantastic dish loaded with clams, mussels, calamari, scallops, shrimp, all served over linguine. Delicious! Dessert was a Pistachio Tartufo and a cappuccino, of course. Home run meal all around! I should mention that Casa Giuseppe is a BYOB. An unusual feature here is that despite it being a BYOB the restaurant is attached to Bar 503, from where you can order a drink to go with your meal if that is your preference. Bar 503 is a recommended destination in itself. A gorgeous, friendly little bar with a live DJ and karaoke (at least on our visit), and a place we had to stop in and have a Manhattan following our meal. Bartender, Frank, was also a wealth of knowledge and a great guy to talk to. BTW, Doug had the Chef's special, Shrimp & Scallops over Ink squid pasta in a vodka sauce. Magnificent fish! Thank you to Casa Giuseppe and Bar 503 for the gracious hospitality. Certainly a place I would recommend. 01/31/2024 read more

My wife and I were in town for a weekend and we chose this restaurant. The service was impeccable, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was like a family home. I'm from an Italian area and coming here made me feel like I was home again. Great food, great service, easy parking, and reasonable prices. Highly recommend. read more

Service was great however I did tell them ahead of time on the phone and in person that it was my husband's birthday and the only reason why I ordered dessert was for that reason to bring out a little something and celebrate and that was totally forgotten by the wait staff... So very disappointed... I did have to add salt to my dishes as well as my husband. The ambience was very nice... read more

Everything sorry. I paid a lot for a plate full of cannellini beans and 4 overcooked shrimp. Lynn Capone dined there in 2024.

Make a reservation because everyone is eating at this place. The owner Elizabeth is absolutely wonderful. Very welcoming, personable and seen all night. The staff is attentive and very nice. The food is outstanding. We started with the seafood salad, super fresh and very tasty. We had the Chicken Saparito, chicken franchise and the pork chop special. Everything was amazing, fresh and your plate is full. They do not cheap out in the serving size. I find their pricing to be reasonable especially with the quality and amount of food you receive. We will definitely be back read more

Delicious Food - always consistent - always fresh. This is our go to place for local food and drinks. Service is always spot on It is great that it is also BYOB or order from the bar next door!! read more

Casa Giuseppe - Girls night - Italian Near Me - Lyndhurst, New Jersey

This is a gem in Lyndhurst. Just had dinner with 4 friends. Appetizers Crab cakes... lots of crab , seasoned perfectly, soft inside , slightly crispy on the outside, melted in your mouth like a crab cake should. Calamari was tender and flavorful. Clams Oreganata were excellent... not dry from the breadcrumbs like others I've tried. Escargot ... had it in the garlic butter. Very good. Dinners Tried the linguini with MANILLA CLAMS and broccoli rabe. It was outstanding (it was a special). Not many restaurants have the manilla clams. Chicken Milanese was very tender and delicious. Breast of chicken topped with prosciutto and mozzarella in a pink brandy sauce over capellini pasta. Was very good also. I know we had dessert but I just don't remember what we ordered... ( too much wine by then) I do remember the Italian Cheesecake. It was very good. Oh ... did I mention ... it's a BYOB!!! But you can still order drinks from the attached bar BAR 503. Service was excellent. Staff was very friendly. After dinner we went into the bar. Very welcoming, great atmosphere. Bar tender was awesome (Connie) I think was her name. (Sorry if I'm wrong) Highly recommend Casa Giuseppe And Bar 503 Here again !! 10/2/20 Tonight we had the Mozzarella en Corona and the escargot . ... both were excellent Tonight's Special!! Black linguini with shrimp, scallops, peas and mushrooms in a pink sauce!! Absolutely delicious!! Double cut pork chop giambotta style !! Tender, super flavor, perfectly cooked ( medium ). read more

I def recommend coming here!! read more

Amazing food , great ambience , quality service and its BYOB . Overall an OUTSTANDING restaurant !

IDK....I love Yelp, but 4 star is just Good?! and 5 star is great ?! Casa Giuseppe is 4.5 IMO plain & simple..VERY good if i must...cute, small dining room, excellent service, full bar service. And one of the coolest things I've seen in a while : illuminated menus! When you open them the backlit lights up making it so clear to read & when you close it the light goes out like a fridge. anyways.... The menu is large, the food is delicious with nice portions & consists of many of the American-Italian classics like fried calamari, clams oreganata, and chicken Milanese, but some less than common items that are a must try like Pollo Monte Carlo consisting of breast of chicken with prosciutto, asparagus, crabmeat and mozzarella in a Madeira wine sauce and a nice glass of red and you're in heaven. I loved the Pollo Saporito which is sautéed pieces of boneless chicken breast with imported sundried tomatoes, capers, gaeta olives, artichoke hearts in a garlic white wine sauce. Try to save room for dessert. Again, a large dessert menu from Italian items like cheesecake, cannoli, and tiramisu to many types of ice cream selections.

Food, service and ambience were all excellent. We will definitely going back there to try other dishes.

Casa Giuseppe is a great place to come for dinner with family or date night. It's BYOB, I would recommend making reservations too. It's a smaller restaurant with a bar attached, which you can also order drinks from. Our server Marie was fantastic, she was very personable and gave good recommendations. I tried out a chicken dish with artichokes, capers, olives and sun dried tomatoes. It was really good, great amount of sauce and the chicken was perfectly tender. My friend also got the same and loved it too. Everyone else got one of their specials which was a thick cut pork chop. It was a huge piece of meat with potatoes and peppers smothered on top. All around a great dinner. We also got calamari for the table and the tomato sauce was delicious for dipping. A great little hidden gem in Lyndhurst. read more

Made a reservation the place was packed for a Friday night. The food and service was incredible. Even the dessert was great. Had to order wine from next door on separate check. Its BYOB so bring your own wine. The menus were even lit up like a movie screen which I thought was pretty cool. The pollo balsamico was absolutely amazing and I wouldn't even want to try anything else there if I go again. I am having that again if I ever go again. read more

Met with a small group of friends from high school years. The atmosphere was light, table cloth casual , collar shirt dressy at min. And byob. Up first came the shared appetizers, stuffed rice ball, fried calamari, crab cake , mozzarella , red pepper and arugula salad everything was on point. The conversation became lively as we talked old times , laughed over some fond memories with moments of gratitude for what we have. The tempo of service was following our Rhythm and we were " chillin" . When the main course came there was sighs of amazement . What stood out most was the double cut pork chop with sautéed onions, potatoes and long hot peppers. I sent a photo to the wifey and she replied I'm coming over! I on the other hand had ordered the chicken fontina was delicious and did not disappoint in the least bit. Silence befell the table as we were hungry and enjoyed our food. Given ample time to finish our food and continue our conversation it was time for desert, cannolis, cheese cake and cappuccino. All in all a great experience. read more
