Great tasting Italian food, place is tight and gets packed quickly ( need advance reservation). Service is great and waiter is awesomely polite and knows his stuff. The lady hostess is a little too bossy but not a big deal. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant!! 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

Can I first start by saying that this is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. We usually go sit at the bar and eat and the food is just amazing. BUT ....... we will NOT be eating there anymore because the prices have gone too high and it's a shame because it's one of our top places we love to eat at. I feel like they should've raised it only a dollar or two but some of the dishes that we eat have gone UP 5-6 dollars. I'm going to miss this place very much! I just can't afford it anymore. Signed, very sad read more

Great service, amazing food and a sweet little atmosphere!! Recall enjoyed our dinner

Went here on a whim with friend. Place was amazing. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Definitely going back next time in the area. Highly recommend read more

Very good food and awesome service. Current specials like the bronzino is very good, as well as the pappadella bolognese that is loaded with generous portions of ground meat, sausage, and chicken. The pasta with spicy vodka sauce and seafood was very tasty. The restaurant itself is an intimate setting with adorable Christmas decorations throughout the place and festive Christmas music. What I like about this place is that it is byob but if you don't bring your own, you can still order drinks from your server and he'll walk over to the bar side and bring your drinks to you. You would just have two separate bills - one for dinner and one for drinks for the bartender. read more

If you can get a reservation food is great!! No lucky enough to walk in reservations are definitely needed

Good menu, lots of seafood and pasta. Food was great. quiet atmosphere on the weekday we were there.

Let me start by saying that if I could give Casa Giuseppe more than a 5-star rating, I would! It all started out on a random Thursday night months ago. My boyfriend and I were out late running errands and I suggested we go eat somewhere near where we live. It was late, pushing 9pm so options were limited but we somehow stumbled across Casa Giuseppe. We ordered chicken Marsala and chicken parmigiana and had one of their specials, delicious chicken wing scarpiello (please excuse my spelling!). We were actually speechless at how amazing and fresh everything was- not to mention, incredibly affordable. The portions were huge! The service was unforgettable and we felt like we had been regulars of the restaurant. Fast forward 6 months, and Casa Giuseppe has become a staple in our lives. We have brought our friends and family and they are just as obsessed. We have always had consistent, fresh and delicious meals. I don't think I have one complaint! It's all packed so definitely make a reservation, although the owner is so kind and will help to squeeze you in. I can't say enough great things about their staff. It's usually the same few people but they truly remember you and make every experience a great one! read more

Tremendous food and exceptional service. The only restaurant in Lyndhurst I would ever consider hosting a special event with friends and family read more

Excellent Italian done right. Double cut pork chop with fried potatoes shishito peppers and onions is my go to entrée. The attention to detail and service is outstanding for this small gem of a restaurant. Local favorite and worth the trip for the traveling foodie. Squid ink linguini with shrimp, scallops, shiitake mushrooms was perfect in a delicious vodka sauce. Everything on point. Thank you Casa Giuseppe, Chef Forte and your staff for delivering once again for my families Birthday Celebration. We thank you. read more

Hard to believe it's been a good decade since I was last here but I'm happy we decided to give them a try again. Who doesn't love a gimmick that's actually useful? Like a menu that lights up when you open them?! (And yes, like a kid that keeps trying to figure out that exact moment the refrigerator light goes on/off - I too was fooling around with the menu way too long.) The food was much better than I remember from all those years ago... from the Chicken Milanese (great breading/crust, superb salad on top) to the Branzino special (the Mrs. has been obsessed lately with this fish) to the pasta being served al dente... we were impressed. (Only gripe - the sausage they used in one entrée was pretty blah, to be honest.) Still BYOB but now they're connected/in cahoots with Bar 503 (think of it as The Regal Beagle for the AARP set) next store so you can order a drink through them. Definitely worth checking out. read more

My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary there Everything was excellent! Our family had nothing but ..compliments for the food and service Thanks so much read more

So this place is a complete hidden jewel. We came here at the suggestion of a friend, who we will now consider a better friend. The place is small and quaint; frankly the decor is simple. Of note the menus are back lit so you might not need to bring your reading glasses for the over 40 crowd. We started with a classic Ceasar salad. It was tart and savory and delicious. We were two couples so we ordered two appetizers, the crab cakes which was in a light sause with capers outstanding and the mozzarella crisp, warm, salty and simply amazing. I got one of the specials Mariscos in light ragu. It was so delicious. I simply can not tell you how scrumptious this meal was. The portions were large and I ended up taking half of it home read more

My wife and i were in the area looking for an Italian restaurant for dinner We were so pleased with the food , service and price. We are not from the area but will definitely make the trip back again for a good meal I had the veal which was very tender and my wife had a shrimp dish which were both delicious read more

Took my girlfriend on a special date for her birthday, wanting to treat her to a small New Jersey Italian experience (she's from Atlanta). While the dining room is smaller than you'd expect and the front of the restaurant is unsuspecting, it makes sense why it's packed. The food is delicious, the waiters are attentive and kind, and everything was fast, fresh, hot and did I mention delicious? Don't hesitate, honestly I wish I could gatekeep this place but I can't imagine depriving someone else of this food. read more

Great authentic Italian food. Servers are educated and lovely. Kitchen is consistently good. Great wine selection. Service is quick and efficient. If you're looking for reasonably priced quality Italian this is the place. There's a small bar next door attached to the restaurant for a few drinks after dinner. One of my local favorites ! read more

The best Italian food in Lyndhurst! The clams oreganata are hands down the best in the area, even when you get them for take out and that isn't a great food to re-heat! They have incredible desserts, but what I really want to tell you about is Fettuccine Christina...the best pasta dish ever. Shrimp, Asparagus, other vegs, in a delicious pink sauce. It is AMAZING! The place is tiny, you definitely will need to make a reservation early in the day if not a day or two before, but with corona you can get take out and get to enjoy the best Italian meal at home. read more

We come here from almost an hour away for great Italian food and great service. It's a relaxing atmosphere with a cozy feel. Casa Giuseppe takes good care of you! Go now !!! read more

I love this place so much... I'm very picky when yo comes to Italian so when my buddy told me about this place, I had to check it out.. it's BYOB but they share space with a bar next door so you can always order drinks from the bar to have brought over... love this place very much... it's tiny and intimate... can't say enough great things about it ... highly recommended esp for a date! read more

Wow! Best service, food, and Joe and Brian took care of our table. We had a fantastic experience. The sauce was so phenomenal and calamari and burrata incredible. We live over an hour away and in the area visiting friends but we will return to eat here again. Oh and the menus that light up when you open them are the coolest touch. Very easy to read and such a great attention to detail (like everything else). Highly recommend making reservations- area would also be good for a small party with 2 rooms, a bar and very open ambiance- place stays full. read more

Best thing about this place hands down is the service! Other than being very intimate which I love and the fact that it's adjacent to a full bar, the waiters make this place. Not speaking only for our waiter but all the other were very attentive and polite. They made sure to start with the daily specials and make recommendations. The food was very good although it could have used some more salt, but that's just my preference. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal and everyone else seemed to as well. The atmosphere was very relaxed and homey. I would 9/10 recommend. read more

Last night we had dinner at Casa Giuseppe. The restaurant was lovely, tables were spaced apart which was great. The staff and owner/chef, Joe/Giuseppe were welcoming and created a relaxing environment. The seafood was excellent, and as fresh as you can get. Everything we ordered was prepared to perfection. I already made a reservation for next weekend! ps... reservations are recommended if you want a table in the restaurant, otherwise you can have dinner in the attached bar (separately owned) which was great for a drink before or after dinner. read more

I've been there twice. The food is excellent! The service was great. I'm looking forward to going back there soon.

Well I can say is OMG, took my dad here for the first time and the food was absolutely amazing! The place was full and every table had people at it but we were 6 feet apart considering this was COVID time, I had the angel hair pasta with crab meat on top which was absolutely to die for, everything was just about perfect I give it four stars because they only had one waiter on with 10 tables filled, had to wait for the check and for it to be returned, that was the only downfall and that is why I gave it four stars. read more

Fabulous meal! Our server Brian on a rainy Monday night made our night ! He was so personable and always had a smile !

Best Italian food around. You can't go wrong. Nice for a date or a group dinner. Try the old fashioned!

Amazing food and amazing service. Both dishes were fresh and steaming hot. Save room for dessert!

waiters hardly speak English and the owners wife who seats is the rudest person I ever dealt with.

Let me just say that our waitress was so wonderful and fun. She had such a great personality and sense of humor that it made the experience that so much better. I don't remember her name but she's an Italian Lodi woman. Anyway... It's BYOB so bring your own. The crab cake was one of the best parts of the meal. It was delicious. It had a great amount of fresh crab meat. The clams oreganto were but small. The calamari was good and it was a good sized serving. For dinner I had the black squid ink pasta in pink sauce with shrimp and scallops. It was very delicious. The pink sauce is really good. The duck with cinnamon rice was very good too. The duck was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. For dessert I had the toasted almond tartufo which was really good but small. The apple crisp with ice cream was a better size and also very good. read more

We had a reservation for Easter dinner. We were seated immediately, handed light-up menus that had just been wiped down with antibacterial wipes. The hostess was friendly & welcoming. A waiter came to open our wine & give us water & told us several specials. Our appetizers came hot & enough to share. Warm crusty bread with olive oil came as well. Our meals were delicious & enough to take home. Several desert options were available & were also very good. There was nothing we could complain about & we'll certainly be back! read more

One of my favorite Italian restaurants and its so close to home. I was given a gift card to Casa Giuseppe's from a coworker and didn't use it for a couple months. Dumb move... When I finally got a chance to get there, I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely decorated the place was. Then we ordered our meals, Zuppa Di Vogole, crab cakes, Shrimp Tuscany, Zuppa Di Pesce... Wow, everything was delicious. The best Zuppa Di Clams since back in the day at Just Sonny's for the Jersey City people who remember. It's now a regular place for my wife and I and I recommend to everyone I know. Love this place. Thanks for always providing us with a delicious meal. Joe read more

Excellent experience from the meal to the service! Beef carpaccio appetizer was super fresh with arugula and shaved Parm.,large portion def for two. I had appetizer for dinner and it was plenty big enough. Calamari with shrimp, capers, Tom, olives, Garlic (served hot not cold).There could never be enough bread to dunk! Staff was friendly, helpful and attentive- crumb scrapper was used after our meal and sealed the deal for me! New favorite restaurant! Small place I would recommend reservations especially if more than party of 2. Byob bonus! Bar next door has cut through and will deliver you drinks on a sep bill. read more

Chef Joe Forte has been here for over 30 years and prior to that he had worked at the Palisadium and the Sea Shack along with waiter Dino's Klonaris. Joe graduated from Johnson and Wales. This is one of the best spots in Lyndhurst for Italian food with a French flair. This is BYOB and the room fits about 30-40 people, mostly throughout the week the locals come but they can accommodate up to 25 people for a party. You have to see the specials when you come here, the best appetizers for me was the fried artichokes and the antipasto. read more
