    Sausage & Onion Pizza
    Geri C.

    I took a couple of friends here for a Christmas get-together. Adrian was our server and he is one of the best in this restaurant. He brought us waters and bread while we decided what to eat. I had the pepperoni pizza, one had penne & sausage and the other had the manicotti. All were excellent. Lunch specials include a salad (regularly $7 extra). The total bill with tax came to $52.45. Not bad for 3 and we all took about half of our lunch home. Adrian checked on us appropriately and took care of drink refills as needed. It was fairly busy and he never left us "hanging". Dining room always clean and inviting. My friends have never been there and were very pleased. 10 stars!!

    It was my very first time there with my girlfriend and her grandma. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the waiters. I loved the food and draft beers were very solid. I would definitely recommend this place to others. It was a very chill environment that never rushed you out the door. Instead, they greeted with a smile and took great care of us.

    Pork Carbonara

    I was really hoping for a solid Italian spot in my neighborhood. We also had a gift card to use so we were looking forward to a nice night out. However, the food here is just not good. The garlic bread they bring to the table when you are seated is perhaps the best part of the meal. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. I've never been served stuffed mushrooms that were not actually stuffed. It was a strange ball of something sitting on top of a mushroom. We also ordered the meatball ricotta pasta and the pork carbonara. The pork was very thin and very dry and the carbonara wasn't even close to tasting like carbonara. My husband also did not enjoy the meatball pasta. I will say that the service was very fast and you don't have to wait long for the food. The staff was very kind and knew their job and menu very well. The restaurant decor is also nice and welcoming.

    After talking to the chef here and asking to help construct a post 4-Day fast meal for my diabetic needs, he was enthusiastic to help out! He made a beef and Italian pesto crème bolognese of sorts topped with mozzarella! Table side Parmesan & freshly cracked pepper! Absolutely to die for, thanks again for the extra love and consideration! I had NO blood sugar response at all!

    Garlic bread

    Wandered in here because our Chinese restaurant was closed. We were pleasantly surprised for a 3.4 star-rated restaurant! Our waiter, Roman, was very friendly and helpful. We were immediately greeted and sealed. We were brought iced cold waters and fresh garlic bread with buttet. Bread was served hot and flavorful! We ordered their fried calamari and it was a large helping and served with a delicious spicy sauce! Calamari was delivered hot and crunchy! I ordered their sausage penne and it was good and satisfying. Perfect amount of spice. Hubby ordered their pesto penne pasta and I had a taste! It was creamy and flavorful! He loved it! He had it with grilled chicken. We will definitely return and try more of their dishes.

    Neapolitan Pizza

    This isn't a typical lunch venue. This is more high end Italian food. When my brother and I arrived, there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Our waitress came over immediately and offered beverages and water. They have a full service bar with several draught beers on tap. The restaurant itself appears to be closer to fine dining with their very nice tablecloths and place settings. We ordered the Neopolitan pizza which was a combination of mushrooms, olives, sausage, cheese and red sauce touched by some basil leaves on top. It was delicious and really hit the spot. The 2 of us finished the entire pie. After that, no room for dessert. I recommend for lunch as well as dinner.

    Meatballs with ricotta and farfalle
    Gale M.

    A middle of the week outing is such a treat! The hub and I joined two friends for an early 5:00 dinner at Giuseppe's on Tuesday evening. Situated in a busy shopping center at 22nd and Harrison, there was plenty of close parking and a very short walk in the restaurant. Our friends were already seated, so we joined them. Happy Hour is between 3:00 and 6:00, with drink specials and $8.00 appetizers. It was our first visit but our friends had been many times. They decided to share a couple appies and a dinner. Their shrimp scampi smelled divine and, someone, I won't mention names, spooned up the garlic butter sauce after the shrimp were just a memory. They also enjoyed a cheese garlic bread that I tasted and definitely approved. For dinner, they ordered the chicken piccata. Two half breasts, nestled in pasta and wine sauce, made a substantial entree, certainly large enough to split. The hub and I didn't order appetizers but munched on the complementary bread while we waited for our food. The bread is divine: warm and crusty outside, soft inside. Both butter and olive oil are served for the bread. The hub ordered the meatballs in a house-made ricotta sauce with farfalle. The meatballs were tender but rather bland, he said. He did approve the pasta and sauce. I chose the eggplant parm because it is something I don't make at home, and it was terrific. Eggplant likes to soak up oil, which can make it greasy and heavy, but this eggplant was crispy and light and tasty. They were out of linguine, so it was served with angel-hair pasta and red sauce. I found the sauce, or gravy, lacking in flavor. I tend to cook and season assertively, and think it would have benefitted from some salt, pepper, garlic, and maybe onion. Service was impeccable. Our waiter was helpful and efficient. Water was kept topped off; he even came by with his trusty cheese and grater a second time. He offered and brought to-go boxes (the food was generously sized) and we looked forward to leftovers for dinner tomorrow.

We both had gelato. I opted for the Oreo. She opted for a blend of the two flavors and maxed out all of the toppings. Service there is super easy. You walk up to the window order what you want and you're given a number. When your pasta is hot and ready they'll call your number for pickup. While you're waiting you seat yourself and there's plenty of seating for everyone. The portion sizes are perfect and the pasta is just scrumptious. It's also a great way to walk off lunch by taking a stroll through the artist village. If you were looking for good food and a quaint setting this can certainly be your spot!

Someone was exiting via the entrance and we couldn't stop to wait due to traffic, so we had to circle the block. We were then able to park, though some signs seemed to reference another restaurant (?). Maybe it is the former name of this place. We asked them before ordering if it was their parking lot and they confirmed. You order at a counter, then find a table and wait for your number to be called. I think they had both a large above-counter menu sign and printed versions. There is a short divider / rope line that is intended to allow a line on one side and foot traffic on the other, but it isn't clear and people queue up on either side. Everyone found something they wanted (we all got noodles and split a salad). Pizza was another option, I think. They have a large jar / tank of water and plastic cups next to it, so you serve yourself. The food came out fairly quickly and was good. They claim the pasta is made fresh daily, and it did taste like it was. The portions were surprisingly big too. Prices were reasonable. We had arrived around 5:30 p.m. on a Friday and by the time we finished (probably a bit after 6 p.m.) there were no seats left. They have a lot of booths, some counter seats at the windows, and a large communal table in the center. I don't know what it is like the rest of the week, but Friday night was packed. It appeared popular with U of A students, as it is on campus. I'd return here for a meal if I were in the area.

The feast of the seven fishes is our yearly tradition during the holidays, and when it rolls around, Angie (I'm not making that up, that is her real name--I told you she was Italian) will grab stuff from Roma by the armful. I am of the opinion that the prepared foods from here can range from the, "Mama Mia!" (really really tasty) to the, "Eh, Cosi cosi" (you know, it passes) range. I'm a people-person and love to observe the patrons. Many of the customers appear to be of Italian descent and, like my bettah half seem to really-enjoy the traditional and authentic staples of, Il Bel Paese (The beautiful country). Food from many different regions of Italy are available. The decor is kinda fun. In my mind, when I think of what an Italian trattoria should look like, this place comes to mind... it's got the classic red and white checkered table clothes, maps and landscapes of Italy adorning the walls, and an energy of a place that is well cared for. A religious icon or two will also dot the interior landscape. The aroma of slowly simmering tomato gravy, cut garlic, roasted meats, chopped onions, and olive oil fills the air. It's an experience. Sometimes life imitates art, and hand to gawd, on my mutha's life... the last times I went, der was deeze tree guys sitt'n in dah corner. I swears, dey cou'da been cast members from the Sopranos. Ayhhyyee! Was'amatta, youse? The staff is generally warm and enthusiastic about their offerings. They generally have been super helpful, and if it's not too busy, are more than happy to make suggestions for new items or how best to prepare the items we have purchased. When we have visited, 90% of the time, the place was crack'n (meaning: super busy and full of life!). Sometimes, as we drive away and I take a peek at the receipt, I will exclaim, "Davvero! È così caro!" Loosely translated that means, "Really! That's so expensive!" My wife, who only knows a few words of Italian, has no idea that I was pooping my pantaloni over the cost... but, bless her heart, she seems to think the food here is worth every penny. Generally, I agree. So next time you go, remember to leave the gun, but take the cannoli. Mangiare!

It is downtown so parking is not great, but they do have meters directly in front of the restaurant. We ordered the bruschetta and carpaccio appetizer . I will start by saying the presentation of all of the food we ordered that night was amazing. I really like that the bruschetta bread had a softness to it and wasn't super crunchy like bruschetta I've had in the past at other places. Despite these two appetizers having different flavor profiles, I did feel that the tastes were kind of similar. Both were cool to to try, but I don't think I would order them again. For entrées, we ordered the penne, mango pasta, and the short rib tortellaci. Both of these dishes were adventurous for us but we wanted to try something different! Both dishes I felt were fresh, allowing you to taste all of the distinct flavors of the dish. My husband couldn't appreciate the penne mango pasta initially, but he did say grew on him. I liked the dish, and upon tasting it, I realized I'd never had butternut squash, which had a soft and subtle sweetness to it. It's a very unique dish, and one I think is worth trying... if you have an open mind! The short rib dish was okay to me, I had a little too many mushrooms for my liking. I also feel that for $27 the portion could be greater. These dishes are not heavy with salt, but I believe it's intentional, so I would suggest really look at the ingredients of the dishes to serve you like what's in it. Overall, a good restaurant with Italian dishes I don't see every day . I'd like to go back and try more of the menu!
