Wanted to say, excellent on every level. Cozy & homey. Food exquisite, bar tender Juliana couldn't have made me feel more at home. Julio the Manager wonderful person filled with knowledge. In town to visit my daughter had some alone time, had been eyeing this restaurant since I arrived. Shrimp was so fresh, pasta splendid. I take my hat off to the entire staff, Don't miss this jewel!! See you all upon my return!! Sincerely, Bobette read more

We've eaten at Giuseppe's a couple of times now and just love it! The garlic cheese bread appetizer is amazing and the service is impeccable! Highly recommend! read more

Surprisingly delicious considering this is a fairly small establishment! The marketing and exterior are lack luster, but the food makes up for it. Glad to have some quality Italian on the Eastside of Tucson! read more

Scampi is to die for ! Everything is great ! There is lots of wonderful choices , staff is amazing . We keep going back as it's now our favorite place and much better than going to Oracle road to get Italia ! read more

Ordered a delivery. Got the Stuffed Mushrooms, Pork Carbonara and Meatball Ricotta. Very bland. No salt or seasoning at all. Disappointing meal. read more

Tuesday night and this place was slammed. Took an hour to get our main course but I have to say the food was very good. Homemade ricotta cheese can't be beat. Kitchen seemed overwhelmed so will definitely try again. read more

The portion is almost half of what they serrve at Oracle. Bread that comes with the meal on Oracle location is now $1.50. Flavor is not there. Service is good, a lot of front of the house workers. Decor ok. read more

Very nice vibe. Food was good quality. Our waiter had good humor and was prompt even though the place was busy.

the food was very good: rigatoni and pasta primavera vera. Only 2 stars though as we saw a cockroach skittering across the floor. Ick

3/9/24 tried it for the second time. my advise : go someplace else! Noisey, cold food, and the prices were insane. You want to blow 60 bucks for two plates of bad food. Go for it, otherwise pick anywhere else! read more

Amazing food. We both ordered eggplant parm and gave us 5 slices of eggplant along with linguini pasta. The eggplant is fresh and taste so delicious. The minestrone soup was real good. Highly recommend this pla. The service was awesome. Our waitress Breanna was great. Thank you again for such great service. read more

Giuseppe's - Eggplant parm - Italian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The one on 22nd street is awful. I ordered manicotti and I had to cut it with a knife. I am Italian and I make that for my family and we have never had to cut it with a knife. It was a waste of money. I will never return. The one on the north side is good but the one on 22nd left me unsatisfied and disappointed. read more

The food and the staff are excellent in my book. We went for dinner on a Saturday night. It was a bit busy, but we got our food quick and it was hot and fresh. Excellent flavor and delicious. The staff is on par. They take good care of you here. We will be back. read more

We went here for dinner and enjoyed great service and strong menu! Highly recommend this restaurant!

A surprisingly excellent night out at Giuseppe's! The ambiance is lovely - a bit nicer than we expected. The food was delicious and the service was attentive! We will be back! read more

My girlfriend and I sat down. About 2 minutes later the waitress asked if we were ready to order our meals. We were not, plus she didn't ask if we wanted drinks. We did want drinks. We waited for her to come back. She ask for our meal orders, I said I wanted a drink while I think about food. Fast forward, I ordered chicken Parmesan and my girlfriend ordered pasta Alfredo. Her food was a very small portion. My food has no flavor like it was just tomato sauce and that's it. I expressed my complaints to the waitress and that was the end. I do not recommend this place and I will not go back. read more

They have the best food always and the service is always great!! The music and ambience is great. They could update the booths however. Just the vinyl breaking down a little bit. But always a pleasant experience! read more

I really, really want to love this place but I'm not there yet. Everything that I've eaten (6 times) has been very good, the food is not an issue, although the kitchen seems to back up easily. After we were seated, we were given bread and asked for more and we were charged for seconds. Come on folks be consistent and if you're going to charge, put it in the menu or tell the patron. The older servers are terrific, obviously have some experience, the younger folks have perfected ignoring customers. They are great at looking right through you. Lastly, if you're going to have a happy hour, have a dedicated bartender. Every wait person makes drinks differently and often charges differently. As I said, the food is great and is what keeps us coming back, the management needs to pay more attention to detail.. read more

Just not all that good. We liked the free bread the best. Bruschetta was okay. Penne vodka was something maybe from a Prego or other brand. Same with the fettuccine Alfredo. It was just okay. Can't recommend this place nor do I plan to revisit. Drop the price by 50%, and I might bring the stars up to a 3. Service was on par. read more

Most disappointed excuse of an Italian restaurant in all of Tucson. Yes it was packed, this fooled us. Everything was substandard or inedible, starting with Bruschetta which was not more than 2 cherry tomatoes with a touch of mozzarella on tiny rosemary cracker, and the charged about $10. Next our entrees, tasteless eggplant parmigiana, dry stringy chicken Marsala, and a half cooked doughy pizza. We begged for bread, which they should have kept. Not sure where the great reviews come from. Do not recommend. read more

Husband and I just paid over 70 dollars for 2 entree's and 2 desserts and we can say without a doubt that it was one of the WORST meals we've ever had. We got take out. WAY overpriced. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo w/ chicken and the chicken was very dry, tough and had absolutely NO seasoning. The Fettuccine was so "al dente" it was practically crunchy and the sauce (what little of it there was) was NOT creamy and I couldn't taste any parmesan in it at all. I couldn't even eat most of it. My husband got some kind of spicy sausage dish which he had to add more spice to it when we got home and his pasta was practically crunchy as well. Our desserts didn't fair any better. Husband said that the tiramisu barely had any coffee flavor at all and the cream in my cannoli's was grainy and and thick, not smooth at all. Seriously, Gordon Ramsey needs to make a trip to this place. By-the-Bucket (which is a fast food pasta place) had MUCH better pasta, got a ton of it and the flavor was GREAT and for 1/2 the price. LMAO. They seem to care more about the alcohol they serve than the food. I guess if you're drunk, the food tastes better. read more

Sister restaurant to the location in NW Tucson. Today is day two in this location. We walked in at 3:30 PM and the place was already 90% full, so a reservation is reccomended. This space was previously Garrett's Family Steakhouse, but has been significantly remodeled. They also expanded the outdoor seating area. Both booths and table seating available with wait person service. We had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer, and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My wife had the Chicken Marsala which was very good. I ordered the Pesto Penne Pasta, and it was delicious. The pesto came as a light creme version with a subtle flavor. Served with roasted chicken and red bell pepper strips and topped with shredded Parmigian and a generous dollop of creamed Goat cheese. Dessert was a slice of in-house Tiramisu; it was very light with a generous dusting of ground coffee. This is In our part of town, so I'm sure we'll be regular visitors. read more

Omg! Where did you learn how to cook?!?! Your food made me sick! This doesn't even deserve the 1 star rating. Jeez! I had to take Pepto Bismal to feel better! Btw don't order the Eggplant Parmigiana, I got sick after I ate not even half of it! read more

First off, the chicken is not fresh it's frozen. It should not be as thin as a piece of paper. The Chicken Marsala was absolutely horrible. You don't put spinach in Marsala and the Madeira wasn't breaded when it came out for my girlfriend but it was complete mush. The rice provided was completely bland, tasted like something out of a box. If this is a sister to another restaurant then I would never go to the other one. Absolutely horrible food, service was sub par and it took way to long to get the food. Completely over priced for the crap quality of the food read more

Excellent service and food. Mussels were perfection! We ordered chicken Marsala and it was good. read more

Bumped up to 3 stars for the great service. I had the Bianca pizza it was 90% bread. So, disappointing. My boyfriend had chicken masala and loved it. Will give another try. Happy hour looks interesting I'll give that a try next. read more

I haven't been at this place because it's to uncomfortable to eat outside. I would try it if it was in Del Mar California that way i would be comfortable wearing nice clothes and most restaurants let you bring your animals to the outside restaurant and people are friendly so I definitely would go if in Del Mar California just don't know how well they would do their though.Julie read more

I love this place so much. The food the service is amazing! I highly recommend the mushrooms almost everything!

Absolutely love their food - it is just simple and great taste. Prices are reasonable and in my opinion the only thing that needs to improve is their service - servers are cold and not very friendly - usually they lack the amount of servers or cooks for the people so sometimes food takes a while. Regardless I'll definitely be back. read more

Had dinner here last night. I ordered the Chicken Madeira, not sure why the negative complaints on it, I found your chicken to be tender and the rice to be very fluffy and flavorful! My daughter ordered Chicken Cannelloni and it was delicious according to her. Our server was sweet, a little nervous, but considering most of the staff is brand new to the business it's understandable. Our busser, not sure of his name, was quick to bring us water, take away any plates we had and was very polite. Met the owner, Josh, he was very kind and friendly. All in all, considering they have been open only a week, don't be judge mental so quickly. Give them a chance!! read more

We went for lunch on Saturday. Our server was friendly and accommodating. We split the eggplant parmigiana and it was very good. They have only been open for a week so I'm sure they have things they want to improve, but we are happy to have another restaurant on our side of town. Please give them a try. They make all the food from scratch so it takes longer than microwaving the food. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your meal. read more

Love this place. Great food. Great service. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely return. Even though it was in a shopping center. The atmosphere is really cute and you don't feel like you're in a shopping center. Definitely worth a try- we loved it. read more

Menu is full of misspellings. No place to wait for seating. No dedicated host. Servers are all frazzled running all over. Disorganized. We were given waters and not asked what we would like to drink, ever. Bread was good. Our server was rushed and curt. Brought the wrong food. Didn't offer appetizers or dessert at all. Alfredo was scorched and had butter pooled on it. Chicken Madeira sauce was broken and just ok. Chicken Marsala sauce was non existent and the noodles were dry - no sauce at all. Bus boy was good. We will not be back. read more

First timers and this restaurant is spectacular! Loved the ambiance with Rat Pack vibes. Our food is my new favorite in Tucson. Great service and will definitely recommend and return. read more

We waited over 15 minutes for the waitress to come to our table. The meals we ordered, they were out of them. She didn't come to our table but once to fill our drinks. There weren't very many people in the restaurant at lunch time. Another couple came in the restaurant and were served right away. I will probably not be going back read more

Service can be hit or miss but it seems to be from being short staffed and not a lack of effort from the servers whenever we've visited, they were always friendly and apologized if things took longer than usual. Favorite dishes are the mussels with bread for dipping, Cannelloni, and chicken parm. Not so great stuffed mushrooms, dry and tasteless. They have a nice bar and good wine list. Will definitely be going back and would recommend trying this restaurant out. read more

food was pretty good but although we were there well within happy hour we were charged $7 apiece for 4 peronis. was advertised at $5. read more

Takeout service thru grubhub was easy and quick. Pizza dough was salty but great texture, pepperoni extremely salty, hardly any tomato sauce on the pizza, great wood flavor but it needs more tomato sauce less salt in the dough and find a less salty brand of pepperoni. When we go back will pick something different to order not pizza. read more

Staff , food and all around service was amazing!! I would recommend eating here for a casual lunch or dinner or a special date night.

This new Italian Restaurant on East Tucson is amazing! Great food and excellent service!
