Food is as delicious & the staff was friendly. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!

Yes, I like the garlic knots, those tiny but tasty bread treats they serve which each meal. This place is very popular, went on a Tuesday evening around 530p and the place was getting filled by the time we left. I have family that recently moved to Ladysmith. They have been there long enough to know that this is the best place around. We were seated quickly, had attentive service and the food was great. I had the Fruite De Marre, seafood pasta. It was a huge portion of fresh pasta and packed with fresh mussels, shrimp and clams. My family had the stromboli and talked about how good it was all evening. They have an extensive menu as well, seemed liked something for everyone. If you call in an order, they will have it ready when they say plus they have a caller ID feature that allows them to know your name and automatically tag your order. It's a nice casual place, not upscale but a nice family itialian restarturant where I don't think you can go wrong. read more

Can improve a lot of things. Met my sister-in-law and niece for lunch, both of us traveled 40 minutes to get together. They had the lemon chicken which had no flavor of lemon it. I had the Bolognese with linguine instead of the Tortellini, Bolognese does not have heavy cream in or 1/2 cooked peas in it, does not have peas in it at all. Salads should come with dressing on the side but not in take out plastic containers! We hardly touched any of it. We did order dessert just to see how that was because it isn't made there, dessert was good, but should be on a plate and not in a take out container. Asked the waitress where plate is she said that is the way it comes. Had to wait 1/2 hour for the check!!! Suggestion, new chef, smaller menu, better wine and stop with the large portions on the plate. A good chef makes the difference. Might increase prices but will increase sales. By the way, my sister-in-law's cat, who eats anything would not even touch the chicken. Sorry for the bad review but if no one is saying how they really feel, it doesn't help you at all. read more

Food is gross and always undercooked. It never has any flavor and way overpriced! Save your money and a trip and go anywhere but here.

Good food, service, and pricing. Great atmosphere- never too loud. In the summer, they have an ice cream food truck.

We had a cast party for our theatre group there tonight with at least 60 people in their private room. Abby and Nikki took such great care of us with food and drinks. We had garlic bread, chicken Alfredo, salad, ravioli with a cream sauce, and spaghetti with marinara. It was so yummy! I am pretty picky when it comes to Italian food and I was not expecting much, but it was sooooo good! I'll be going back the next time I am in Ruther Glen! Thank you all! read more

The wings were pricey and very small. However the Philly sandwich was tasty. It was a takeout service so not a ton of communication there.

Nice clean quite place. I stopped here on my way back to DC area. The staff were nice and polite. The pizza was decent at best though. 4 stars for the restaurant itself. read more

Giuseppe's - To go pizza box with the best darn crackers - Italian Near Me - Ruther Glen, Virginia

We went this afternoon, and I was not impressed...actually if I could give it 0 stars I would. First, there was an older woman (approximately 75-80 years old) serving us and the three other tables the whole time, while 3-4 young girls talked and laughed the whole time behind the counter. The prices were extremely high, paying 15 dollars for ravioli that I found a hair in. The ravioli sucked. It was under cooked and the sauce tasted like watered down school lunch sauce. We payed 80 dollars for three people, and contemplated telling the waitress about the hair in the ravioli, but decided not to because our previous experience. The last time we went here was 5 years ago, and we expected it to have improved, yet it was even worse this time. read more

My favorite Steak and Cheese go-to place. The fries and onion rings are great and I also love their pizza. Service is always friendly and the place is clean. Whenever I'm in the area, I stop at Giuseppe's. read more

Friendly staff, food is always hot and delicious I always get a Gelato when I go inside and pick up our food. Our order is never wrong.

Oh. My. God. Who would think that Italian food this amazing would be hiding in Ruther Glen? Drove down from Woodbridge to try this place based on an article I found online. It is SO good! Diverse menu, nice staff and owner, and best of all, GREAT FOOD! Tonight's order was the Giuseppe special pizza and spaghetti with red clam sauce. Pasta was cooked perfectly, sauce was super tasty. Toppings on the pizza were very good, and probably the best crust I've had in years. If you're near Exit 110 on i95 and are hungry, stop here! Your only regret will be not stopping. read more

Giuseppe's - Giuseppe Special Pizza. So. Amazingly. Good! - Italian Near Me - Ruther Glen, Virginia

Excellent experience. The place is very unique and nice, the pizza is good (very New York style), the food is very Americanise, but with style. Good wine list, simple wines, but good. Very good coffee (Lavazza) The gelato is good, very flavoured and no milky. Overall good place to stop by. read more

Easy off on 95 We had meatball sub and chicken parmigiana sub, both delicious. Added mashed potatoes side (garlic and parmigiana) and garlic broccoli. Yummy Servers friendly Outdoor seating available Family friendly Clean restrooms The deserts look delicious but way too full! read more

Stopped in traveling on 95N for some lunch. We had two excellent heroes. Meat ball and chicken parmigiana. Service was excellent. Place was clean. We will try and stop here on the way back home. read more

Having been here 4-5 times now, trying new items, I'm discovering my first review was a little inaccurate. We're gone from... VERY GOOD to MEH to NOT SO HOT. How does this happen? My major disappointment stems from last night's dinner. I ordered the sm Sicilian pizza. The topping were good, but the crust was dried out, hard, over baked and crumbly. Not fresh at all. No sign of there ever being any olive oil in the crust pan when cooked. I didn't even want to take the rest home, but my GF insisted. I tossed it later. My GF had the Veal Parm, and that was hard and overcooked/pre-cooked too. She also didnt finish her meal. Yet no one asked us if everything was alright? So between my first visit (Nov 2012) and now, my opinion of this place has taken a downhill slide. I'm not saying I won't return, but I'll stick to the menu items that were good in the past. I wish I didn't have to write things like this! I miss L&B Spumoni Gardens! :) read more

Stopped at this place during work to grab some lunch. All the waitresses were sitting at a booth chit chatting when i walked in which first threw me off. Got a water and the toasted cheese ravioli to start which came out fast and were pretty tasty. The water tasted like it had come out of a toilet. Disgusting. I then ordered the baked spaghetti and it came with so much sauce and cheese piled on top. The sauce was very bland and almost bitter so I added loads of pepper and it was alright after that. The meal came with garlic knots that were kinda hard but good. The whole time I was eating, the waitresses stayed sitting at that front booth talking to each other about their man problems. It wasn't very professional and I could hear what they were saying and I was pretty far away. Probably won't be back but glad I at least tried it. read more

Giuseppe's - Toasted cheese ravioli with marinara sauce - Italian Near Me - Ruther Glen, Virginia

Oddly, the one thing I thought they'd not excel at was the best thing we tried. The calamari was on point! The pasta was atrocious. Watery ravioli and it seemed they boil the chicken for the Alfredo. Alfredo sauce was tasteless. And the Sicilian pizza was on a precooked crust... The top was hard and browned under the sauce and cheese... Very strange read more

We recently moved to the area, but from the first opportunity to try Guiseppi's we were in love. Most days their pasta sauce is absolutely incredible, so the first time we came with our kids (on a Monday) and the food was flavorless, we immediately knew something was wrong. "Did the cook change? What happened?" Repeatedly we were told on different days that they have the same chef 7 days a week until one day we got a new girl. She agreed with us and recommended, "Don't come on Monday's. That is the regular guy's day off!" So that is the reason for the difference between the "I love this amazing food" recommendations and the "What happened?" read more

Not a bad place to stop...anything from burgers to calzones and pizza. The staff was not overly impressive and there must have been four of their staff on break the entire time we were there all sitting at a booth. That seemed a bit odd, just from an appearance standpoint. The crowd hovering around that booth was also awkward because it was near the entrance and the cash register so you had to squeeze to get by. My calzone was good and the food didn't take too long to come out. They certainly didn't skimp on the size of the calzone. I wasn't able to eat it all. So, my overall deduction of stars on their rating was the staff. They didn't come across as very helpful or attentive (no drink refills were ever offered) and the overall feel was not very professional. read more

This restaurant is a locals favorite with excellent food and more than ample portions. If you're a teenager you may be able to finish your meal otherwise share the entree or expect to take a go box home. One of their specialities is there meatballs that either come with your entree or a side/appetizer. They are the size of a Major League Baseball and absolutely Mamma Italian good. Another is the Stromboli or Calzone. They come in 3 sizes. The small will feed one will feed two adults and they only get larger from there. They have outside dining if the weather is good. Great place for everyone including families. read more

Probably the best steak and cheese in a 100 mile radius. The pizza is awesome the closest you'll get to authentic New York style in this area. read more

Always delicious! Love that ice cream stand coming this summer. Great local place. Portion sizes are very good

Great food and great service - friendly staff and love the gelato! Hope they get it back up and running soon!

Walked In and was seated by a server.....watched 4 people get seated and served their drinks meanwhile our server never acknowledged us. When I made the manager aware... he said sorry and shrugged it off as we left to head to Timbers!!! Service was horrible and I normally don't complain but the staff wasn't busy at all And the service was horrible. My first and last time dining here. read more

Great place to catch a Pizza and/or a sub. Outdoor seating was very nice given the pandemic. Very nice family owned place.

I went in for a quick bite. Ordered the grilled chicken sub. Let me, as they say, bifurcate my comments. Service was excellent. Food was disappointing. Chicken was dry and tasted like it had been marinated in Italian dressing. Bun was also dry. I have dined here previously and had pretty good food. Today was nothing to write home about. read more

Delicious meat lover's pizza and super friendly staff. I love the train track on the ceiling which offers local businesses an opportunity to advertise their services! read more

The steak and cheese sub is amazing. My go to spot. It's a great place to dine with friends and family. Awesome service. read more

Ordered over the phone and they got order wrong. Lady at the front was rude and disrespectful did not resolve the issue. Will not order from there ever again!. read more

I'm new to the area so I didn't know much about the food options in the area, but saw this place coming off the highway so decided to try it. I must say I was not disappointed. I ordered cheese steaks loaded and that's exactly what I received. Even during a shut down the staff was friendly and worked to make sure the handoff process was safe and quick. The food was delicious and they now have a customer for life. read more

Always delicious food and terrific service! Cosy and friendly. We visit whenever we're in the area.

If you are driving down 95 do yourself a favor and stop in. The pizza is amazing. Yelp wants me to keep typing. I said all I wanted to and apparently that's not enough for Yelp. Seriously just stop in, you won't be disappointed. read more

The antipasto salad was good. Good portion size too. Friendly waitstaff but food was a bit pricey.

Yelp reviews said this was a good place nearby and it didn't disappoint. Good food, friendly staff and huge portions. The Fettuccine and Steak and Cheese we're awesome. If you are in the area - definitely try this place out. Portions are big! read more

This is the most amazing dine-in Italian restaurant I have ever been to. No, scratch that. This is the most AMAZING RESTAURANT I've ever attended a local eat-in spot of such high caliber. The crispness of the garlic knots, the cheesiness of the parmesan... mmm chefs kiss. Please give them an award. This is top-knotch stuff. read more

I want to start by saying that I live 5 hours from this place but anytime I drive past on my way to the beach, it is a must stop place for me! I apologize for no pictures on this review because my phone camera is acting up but I ordered the shrimp Parmesan and it was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere is very casual and very enjoyable. My niece and nephew were with me and they have a steeler train that is suspended from the ceiling and they allow kids to hit the big red button and start the train up. They loved getting up and pushing the red button!! Our waitress was very polite and very courteous. She brought us refills very quickly and was very professional. I even accidentally spilled my pop and she came and cleaned it up for us with a smile on her face! I will always give this place my business anytime I come with an hour of it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Seafood ravioli did not disappoint. Gelato was amazing.

Guiseppes had exceeded my expectations. Stopped by here after a day trip to Kings Dominion and was hungry on the way back home. Our waiter (Sarah) was so sweet, even when I messed up my order she managed to change to what I really wanted. I ordered the Steamed mussels in a white wine sauce as my appetizer AH-MAY-ZING. The entree which was the Seafood special was just as delicious. The Gelato my brother has soo good. I definitely will make the drive again to come back here for some good Italian food!! read more

I can't tell you how much I miss Sal. He is very polite. His cousin is okay, and they have great staff! The food is okay, the pizza is kinda greasy. One time I found hair in my food, but I got a refund and a new dish! read more
