Giuseppe's is located in I-44 Retail Plaza right after the Phillips 66 gas station off South Highway Drive. Watch your landmarks as South Highway Drive is one way and you can't turn around if you pass it up. It's a small restaurant tucked back in a huge plaza.
I got the lasagna lunch box to go two times. Giuseppe's serves meatless cheese lasagna that includes a vegetable, salad and bread. I loved the Italian meat sauce that completely covered the lasagna. In addition, I like the way the vegetables are prepared since they aren't mushy and have a slight crunch. The first time I had green beans. The next time they served Brussels sprouts with sweet potatoes. The vegetable side was a little sweet, but I still liked it. The lids are a little tight on the salad container and the
parmesan flew out everywhere when I snapped the lid off trying to get it open. Even so, I really enjoyed the Caesar Salad I ordered and still had some parmesan left. The second time I was more careful to hold the bottom container down. This time I tried the St. Louis salad. The artichokes, thinly sliced onion, parmesan, and vinaigrette salad dressing were very flavorful. While the salads I ordered came in a smaller compact container, it completely filled my much larger dinner salad bowl.
I returned to Giuseppe's on white fish Friday. Previously, a few weeks earlier I tried ordering the fish after 1:00and they were sold old. Today I was in luck. By the time I got home, the fish was no longer hot. The restaurant worker told me next time to microwave it 25 seconds. I improved the taste by squirting fresh lemon on it
The eggplant moussaka side dish felt like the main entree for me, with the white fish being average. I relished the eggplant moussaka side dish which included ground beef, tomato sauce, parmesan, spices and cheese. I would buy the fish, just for the side dish. Giuseppe's told me you can't order the Greek moussaka ala carte.
Both meals were very filling and I could hardly eat anything the rest of the day. Considering the huge portions, the price is very reasonable. The staff was prompt and friendly. I was in and out within minutes. In conclusion, my five-star rating is for excellent, friendly service, good food and fantastic side dishes read more
