Steamed mussels
Beau B.

Guiseppe's came recommended from a coworker who clearly knows a thing or two about good food. (So I thought). A cozy restaurant tucked away in a strip mall. I opted for the steamed mussels as an appetizer and the pork carbonara - because, why not? Steamed mussels were a bit salty, the pork carbonara wasn't gourmet but tasteful. The service was on par. All in all, it was a okay dining experience.

Happy hour lemoncello lemon drop!
Lisa J.

I have driven past Giuseppe's hundreds of times in the past ten years. I had never even thought to stop by, until this week. The reason is because I noticed a Groupon that provided a nice savings. We stopped by on a Monday evening for dinner. The service was excellent and I enjoyed the relaxed and comfortable ambiance. The complimentary bread was tasty too. We both ordered drinks from the Happy Hour menu (I had the Lemoncello martini, which was delicious). I had reviewed photos on Yelp and already knew what I was going to order. I had the Chicken Madeira and my Manfolk had the Grilled Salmon on veggies. Both entrees arrived in a timely manner and were warm and delicious. The portions were large. We will definitely be back. Remember to check for Groupons!

Shrimp Picatta with cherry tomatoes, spinach and artichokes
Craig W.

Really nice spot. Back area of an old school strip center. We sat outside. First off, they customize sny dish which is wonderful for folks that have a variety of food intolerance or allergies. I went with the Shrimp Picatta. I never had a Picatta with Shrimp. They removed the garlic from the sauce. Big portions. The menu says it sits on a bed of linguine, but mine showed up with spaghetti type of pasta. The dish had Chili flakes which worked. The spouse went with the Pesto Salad. She didnt care for it. She felt it had too much pesto sauce or pesto whatever. Pricing isnt bad, service is fast and friendly. No need to return though.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Alexandra B.

I actually got delivery, something I hadn't done in at least a year, and now I remember why. For almost $50 I got dry noodles, brushed with flavorless sauce, and a few slices of dry paper thin chicken that barely covered the bottom of the container (I thought it was empty before I opened it). Along with chicken alfredo I also ordered limoncello cake. I am unable to evaluate it since I never got it......again for over $46. You have to raise prices, fine. You have to cut portion sizes, fine. The least you can do is to make sure your food is flawless, and orders complete.

We came for lunch and service was great- food was great- and our server Adrienne helped us choose gluten free options. Will definitely be back! We so appreciate them having gluten free options that were tasty. Also, they told me If you make reservations it is good to request the type of pasta you would like ahead of time and they will have things freshly prepped. They run daily specials.

Do they have a happy hour? If so, what are the details?

What's the outdoor patio like?

Quiet, especially in the evening/night, solid shading because the building's roof bridges out to the one across from it so rain isn't a problem. I actually went once when it rained hard and had no problem. Heaters can be switched on, live music is… Read more

We like the Carbonara…read moreBreakfast pizza with eggs, bacon, mozzarella -- and the Figo White pizza with cherry tomato, bacon, garlic, basil, mozzarella, ricotta, and parmesan. It's small and cozy, so be sure to make a reservation. One day we'll work up the nerve to get a Nutella Pizza with powdered sugar and seasonal fruit. Yum

The food here is top-tier, absolutely excellent. It's clear why this place is so well reviewed…read more Unfortunately, the service completely missed the mark and took away from what could have been a great experience. We were seated right away since it wasn't busy, and things started off simple enough with bread and oil. We asked for parmesan to go with it, and our server seemed unsure how to respond, eventually bringing out packet parm even though fresh was clearly available. Not a huge deal, but we found it odd. A little later, we asked for more bread. The server told us they were out but, "that they could probably make more". . He relayed it to the woman handling bread, who then made more for another table and skipped us entirely. He mentioned it again to her when he saw us looking in their direction. she looked over, and still nothing. It was awkward, since the restaurant is the size of a closet. Once the pizza came, we got up ourselves to ask for more oil and parmesan, since our waiter hadn't come to check back. We got the oil instantly since we brought us the bowl, but no parmesan. At one point my son asked for bread, again, finally it came and the server literally tossed it on the table without a word. We said thank you and he completely ignored all of us. It didn't get any better from there. The bill was dropped on the table without a word either. My husband and I kept looking at each other with confused looks. We turned the bill in with our CC, and once the server returned it, same thing, not a single interaction. We also watched the same server make another table feel like an inconvenience over something as simple as asking for a bottle of Coke instead of a can. The customer ended up backing down just to avoid the hassle. The server then told the guest, "it's fine, I can get it for you!" On top of that, staff were wearing gloves while handling food, but also touching chairs, phones, and other surfaces; kind of defeats the purpose I think? My boys also had a weird interaction with a staff near the bathrooms who was very rude to them and accused them of cutting the line, despite no one waiting. It was very strange. Bottom line: the food is incredible, no question. But the service was so bad it's hard to ignore. Best advice, get it to go and skip the experience inside.

After a bit, a customer at the bar greeted us and gave us a tip on how big the slices of pizza were. Soon after, we realized where the menus were, followed by a server at the bar greeting us and giving us information. I was glad for his help, but there was a good whike in between that I feel was a little weird and lacking of service. They have a small indoor seating area where you can also get fountain drinks, as well as an outside covered patio that has a couple ceiling heaters throughout . You order at a window near the bar, then seat yourself. Your food is done brought to you. We attempted to order a couple slices of the specialty pizza, only to be told that the specialty pizzas could only be ordered as a whole pie. So we ordered a 12 inch pizza half company combo and half carnivore. We also got an order of the sweet chili wings . The sweet chili wings were cool, not bad, but also nothing to brag about. The pizza I was actually disappointed in... it reminded me of pizza from the frozen aisle at the grocery store. It was thin and had a crunch at the bottom. I will say that I like my pizza dough, thicker, so that probably affected my opinion of their pizza as well. Glad I tried it, but don't think I will be back.

Clearly Anello has taken the crown for the best pizza in Tucson. They are hard to find (no…read moresignage) and have a limited menu, but what they do, they do extremely well. This is not the kind of pizza you want to carry out. The bottom crust is so thin and delicate, it will wet out in 15 minutes. This is pizza you order and eat on-premises immediately. I ate my pizza in a fashion I have never done before - I broke off a piece of the outside crust to use as a carrier for a piece of filling. This worked well. The crust is perfectly light and airy. Next time I have to try a loaf of their bread - it looked incredible. If you are a pizza purist you will love this place.

I have had Italian chickpea based Farinata before on it's own when I made it at home or inside a delicious sandwich on a connection at the Rome airport and I thought they did a really good job frying the Pannisa here. I also liked the sauce they serve it with here: tart sauce with basil and herbs. I felt the the serving size was small for $8 . I enjoyed trying it here but will probably not get it more than once at that price per serving size. They serve it with cheese typically but I asked for no cheese to make it vegan. The guy that took my order at the window seemed very confused/ weirded out when I asked if they charge a fee to pay with credit card. He generally wasn't very helpful or communicative and seemed generally bothered by questions. He also didn't think to mention they don't have disposable silverware for to go order (my pannisa was drenched in sauce- delicious but I definitely ended up going inside to eat it with a fork). Another staff member seemed more pleasant though and more willing to answer basic questions politely. On another earlier visit I tried their focaccia. It is a sourdough focaccia with roasted red pepper jam, rosemary and garlic. Typically it has ricotta too which I asked to remove. I loved the dough and garlic. The jam was good too, maybe a tad sweet for me though. It reminded me a tad of sweet and sour sauce. They have a margarita pizza without cheese available on the menu too. I didn't try these yet but liked seeing that they served some interesting non alcoholic beverages like cocoa soda with cocoa husk or cola dosa with Guajillo chiles and citrus. From what I tried and seen on the menu it feels that they serve good quality food and drinks. Service can definitely be improved. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!
