Everything was great here at Giuseppe's. Their Persian food is amazing. I had the Combination Three platter which includes lamb chops, chicken kabobs and koobideh. More than enough food to feed an army! The food took a little while to come out but it was certainly worth the wait. The staff is very friendly, helpful and always ready to assist in any way they can. Relax and enjoy the eclectic atmosphere and delicious food. Make sure to try the yogurt and cucumber dip. It's refreshing and delicious! And be sure to say hi to the friendly porch cat wandering around. Yumm! read more

I never leave reviews--this is actually my first one--but I felt I had to share my experience. I was extremely disappointed with the food at Giuseppe's. The pasta was swimming in a watery tomato sauce that made me just angry and grossed out . It didn't taste like authentic Italian food at all, specially from being from Europe, this was nonsense. I was also confused by the concept. The restaurant presents itself as Italian, yet the menu mixes Italian and Mediterranean cuisines in a way that felt inconsistent rather than complementary. The only positive part of my visit was our server. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and did a wonderful job. Unfortunately, the food was so disappointing that I wouldn't return. If I could give zero stars based on my experience, I would. read more

After ordering takeout here a month ago and having a great experience, I decided to give them a second chance. This time, I dined in after a relaxing massage next door, since they offer lunch specials. I ordered the kebab and chicken, and both dishes were flavorful and delicious. I was especially impressed with the generous portions of rice, more than enough! Our server was wonderful, and the overall vibe was fantastic. If you're into Persian and Italian cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

If I could leave negative stars I would. Sat here for 25 minutes and never had a server approach us. Another table next to us was seated 10 minutes after us, they waited for a few minutes and someone came to take their order. My wife and were really excited to eat here. This was our first time attempting to eat here. I WILL NEVER COME BACK. read more

Visited place for 2nd time, very disappointed today, took our Best friends for lunch, for his birthday, they are very special to us, had reservations at 12:30 pm, were seated right away, waited for about 30 min, no, acknowledgement, no menus, no water, we just sat there, finally my friend gets up to get some menus, waited for about another 30 minutes, then had to flag a waitress down to see if someone could take the order, nice waitress took order, waited for another half hour to get our food, by then couldn't even enjoy it, was so disappointed, was hard to hold back tears the food is great but service SUCKS. Need more waitresses. Will not return or recommend place read more

My family and I have been coming here for 25 years now. This family owned restaurant has always made us feel welcomed and at home when we visit. The food is always amazing. Today our server was a pleasant Brazilian young man that gave us excellent service. It was great getting to know him. We ordered hummus, and dolmeh, as appetizers. I had the Beef Soltan plate which comes with a skewer of filet mignon & koobideh kabob which is made with ground beef and lamb mixed with minced onions, and seasoned with salt and pepper. I asked for cherry rice as a side because it's my favorite. It was season to perfection as usual. Keep up the great work! read more

Wow, this place is beautiful! I lived in upland a few years ago and had no clue about this place. Italian & Persian food in one spot, amazing. The lasagna is probably one of the best I've ever had. The bread that comes with hummus and cucumber dip? The best thing I've ever tried. read more

Giuseppe's Ristorante - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Upland, California

Restaurant decor is nice and food is decent but management needs a lot of improvement. Upon walking in, there was no host to properly seat us. A waitress finally acknowledged us, pointed us to sit down at a table and had us wait for at least 10 minutes before we even got our menus. There was visibly only one waitress serving the entire restaurant. Everything took forever to happen, from getting our drinks, to getting our utensils, and pita bread (we had to ask an assistant server to get that). The worst part of the experience was near the end when we got our check-- our waitress accidentally dropped an iced tea glass on our table and it shattered. Glass pieces were all over the table and iced tea was dripping continuously in between the tables and getting my feet wet. Because we were done eating, it appeared the waitress did not care to deal with this hazard until we left. This is reckless. Shattered glass should be dealt with immediately, not be left on the customer's table until customer leaves. read more

Best food in the Inland Empire. Service is excellent especially from Alaa and Eugenia. I went on a Saturday night, it was pretty packed. The newest room is a nice quiet area. I recommend the chicken soltani, kashk, fesenjun, and pizza. The Italian dishes are all pretty good as well. read more

So glad we finally stopped here! Be ready for a time warp when you go in. It was a nice ambience, though, and our server was SO lovely and fun to chat with! We went the Italian food route that night and ordered pizza, spaghetti, meatballs, and garlic bread. Their red sauce is delicious! Meatballs were fine, but nothing special. I love buttery baguette-style garlic bread, but my husband doesn't, so I got to enjoy that on my own. Our friend ordered pizza and was really happy with it, even though it wasn't his usual favorite from the restaurant in Mountain just off the 10. Fabulous meal! read more

Wow, I cannot believe a beautiful place like this has been here all this time. Came here for an early lunch with my wife & son and we were blown away by how beautiful it is. The food was equally just as beautiful and good. The hummus & cucumber dip with the bread is amazing. that bread, I can eat a whole bunch of! The lamb and chicken plate with rice, amazing. The lasagna? Amazing. Service was great, everyone was so nice, so attentive. Cannot wait to be back with some friends. read more

Wow the service was A+ thanks Diane / Dianna . Now for the fun park I am a True Meat lover but the chicken /vegetable broth. It was vegetable with chicken broth and I enjoyed every bit of it! I had the chicken and steak skewers and it was good to the last drop. The dessert tiramisu was homemade and you can taste the goodness. We were a party of four and everyone had something different. The lamb was tender and all of the dishes were well seasoned and served hot. We will be back! Nice fusion of Italian & Persian food. read more

We were so excited to bring friends to this place and called ahead to make sure they could accommodate our party of 6 adults. We were seated inside as soon we arrived only to play a waiting game. It took us flagging someone to get water, then slowly one side salad arrived, then much later another side salad arrived- long story short, it took approximately 1 hour to get our complete meal. We could tell the servers were overwhelmed and doing their best. This is a management issue. When we asked to speak to the manager, all he did was make excuses. read more

Had a great experience at this establishment! Having a reservation worked out perfectly, and we were attended to very quickly. They started us off with warm bread and butter, which was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken shish, and it was cooked to perfection. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. The vegetables added an amazing balance, and the rice was so good I could have eaten it by itself. The restaurant was very clean inside. The only slight inconvenience was that there was just one single-stall restroom, so there was a bit of a wait to use it. Other than that, everything was really great. The gentleman, Emerson, was a wonderful host, making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to try the other plates! read more

The place is nice and in the mountains which i like as a Texas native. We had Happy as our server and she was great and happy like her name lol. We got some bread and dips and these were very good. the Mast-o-Musir was my favorite and so addicting. The antipasto salad was not very good, the mozzarella used the same types of cheese they have on frozen pizzas. We got lots of plates but the lamb chop and the koobideh were my favorites, but the chicken was dry; i didn't enjoy it. The Gormeh sabzi tasted overcooked and burnt (talkh); the rice it came with was good though. For desserts we got the saffron ice cream which was a yummy treat, but the cream puffs felt frozen and not very good. read more

I've never had the Italian food here, but they do Look delicious. I go there for the Persian food. I specifically order the Ghormeh Sabzi (Persian Stew), and the Kabobs ,n Persian rice read more

If you come in the right time, parking is enough. Elegant entrance low ceilings and decor with glamor and classical music. I like their bay windows table set up for two or four. A good place to impress a date or someone special. We had their Persian dip for starters, I had their Gheimeh stew with rice. Alaa our server was so nice, attentive and helpful. Service of course was awesome. We also had Lemshiesh plate, Ravioli pharmagean (Luigi's special) with meatballs sausages and cappuccinos. Their portions are more than enough. The music was so enducive for our lengthy conversations, kinda romantic. I would come back with a bigger group. And yes I would recommend this place if you're into Persian/Italian food. Prices are affordable if you ask. read more

Yesterday I went to try this place out as I've heard good things about it. Sadly it was a big disappointment. We went in and were quickly seated outside on the patio. We looked over the menu and waited and a server never came to our table. We flagged down a server who was helping a nearby table who seemed like she couldn't be bothered and she went inside. Next we watched another couple come out to be seated and we flagged that host down and she told us a server was assigned to our table and went inside. A few minutes later a male server came out and went to the table that was seated after us and proceeded to take their order. NO one ever came to our table to take our order. After we saw that, we got up from the table turned our menus in and walked out. This was such a disappointment as I was really looking forward to trying this place. Poor customer service. read more

Amazing food, staff, and ambiance. I would recommend sitting outside during the summer for a beautiful outdoor dinner, and inside in the winter for a beautiful interior. Very Italian with a Mediterranean touch. The beef and lamb shish kabobs, and their lasagna are great options! read more

Over a decade later and this place is still a favorite! The food quality is just as great as it was in my last review, the only things that have changed is they've expanded the restaurant and made it even more inviting and beautiful. Our server Adriana was so pleasant & attentive! The food was perfection. The atmosphere amazing! Of course prices have increased but that's expected and for the quality, it's worth it! read more

Had a large group here for a going away party. Had about 16 in the group. Our waitress was good. Always checking in on us, cuz it did take a while for the entire group to eventually show up. Food comes out quickly. Took a while for our bill to come out. And there was a lot of issues of who's bill was who's. But it was nice that it was all individually separated already. The food was unfortunately bland. I had to use a lot of salt, pepper and sumac to bring some flavor to the dish. Koobideh was really soft. Large portions for the price. It does get rather cold inside. So make sure to bring a jacket or wear something warm especially at night. It can get really loud in here with everyone talking and having a good time. Only 1 restroom. But we had a great time. Overall a good experience. read more

I really enjoy this restaurant when I physically go there to eat. I have ordered on their online system and had to wait over an hour past my confirmed pick up time to receive my food. I just called tonight to place a to go order and was asked to hold, I could hear everything in the background and have been on hold for 12 min with no one helping me. Pretty ridiculous they cannot figure out how to take care of their to go customers. Very disappointing. I'm still on hold and hanging up after 14 min. read more

Good food, nice atmosphere. Always a treat to visit. Pleasant staff. The lasagna is one of my favorites while my friend who goes with me usually gets the kabob, which is her favorite Prices are ok, not cheap but you are paying for a quality meal and atmosphere read more

Disappointed with customer service. Waited over 15 minutes without being greeted at the table and no offer to order a drink. The waitress had bad table management skills that lost track of customers taking her section. She started serving other customers that just got and skipped us. Ambience is good with a natural view. I was so excited to order the Lamb, but I got it at other place which it's definitely delicious, read more

My husband surprised me with lunch at Giuseppe's, and I had no idea this hidden gem was tucked away in the Upland Hills/San Antonio Heights area. The setting is absolutely beautiful! The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated. I was impressed by the layout, they even have private enclosed rooms for special events, which is a nice touch. There's also a pretty big size outdoor dining area, perfect for enjoying warm summer evenings with the family. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and very helpful, which made the experience even better. The menu had a fantastic variety of dishes, and they also have a separate lunch specials menu. I ordered the lasagna, and my husband went with the beef kabob plate and both were delicious. We had such a great time and are already planning to come back with the kids to enjoy a relaxed dinner on the patio. read more

Top of my list. read more

Such an unexpected, out-of-the-way location that makes you feel like you're in a small town! Fancy vibe to the restaurant with the hanging lights and water fountains outside, yet still low-key enough to bring kids. I also loved the fact that you can get kebab AND Italian food. Seems like such a random combo! We got the lasagna (server recommendation) and chicken kebab. Both were very good - especially the juicy chicken meat. Pita bread automatically served during the wait, which was soft and warm and fresh, and she even restocked us with a whole new basket-full. Only complaint is a big one - it took 30 minutes to get our food! We were there 5:30pm on Sunday. read more

First off the service is literally the worst. 20 mins to get waters or just a soda. Ambiance is decent. Second the food is terrible. My son ordered Alfredo and literally had to doctor it up himself just to make it decent. He's 8. The bread took forever to come out and that was mediocre at best. Last the price, it's very pretentious and is not worth what you get. Avoid this place at all costs! You can get a better meal at a chain Italian place. Upland's finest is a joke. I'd rather eat a tv dinner read more
