So, went to pick up my order to go. They said "oh about 25 minutes". Ok. I went 25 minutes. The place was mobbed inside and outside. Tables all full. Mainly people with menus and water. 2 servers for the whole place. Ok, under planned for a Monday night. So why not stop seating people? Greed. So let's make money on everyone and cheat everyone of good service and food? Now lets talk about the food. I got the chicken cannelloni and my neighbor ordered the grilled pork chops. I dropped hers off and home I went to enjoy mine. Only two (that's ok) cannelloni's, they must have poured in the whole container of cheap sodium, salt! It burnt my tongue. I was so hungry, I decided to just eat it rather waste it. Pasta was dried, yet under cooked. How do you do that? Stuffed chicken was like chewing on rocks. I called my neighbor and she said she had no salt (shocking, they must have ran out) and said her dinner was dried and hard like a hockey puck. Disappointed. So when my neighbor called to tell them they said "we only had two staff for the whole place" clearly they never could logically think that stopping people from being seated by their own two staff at some point, so they could give quality rather quantity, they instead just blame the fact they were under staffed. They offered us a dinner. No thank you, I have a burnt mouth and swollen ankles from the over dosage of the salt. I am glad I only ate one! Not doing that again. read more

Although I love this restaurant, a restaurant is only as good as the last meal served. I was very disappointed last night. We made a reservation well in advance and asked for a quiet table near the window. Being busy, they didn't have any inside table available and we had to wait a half hour. Then when seated, we had to wait another 15 minutes before a waiter brought us cutlery and water. We ordered an appetizer to start and waited for another 15 minutes. As we began to eat it (it was delicious - bruschetta), our entrées came and we weren't able to finish our appetizer. The food as always was outstanding but the service was so lacking. A young Man kept apologizing for the slow service but we still felt that as regular patrons, we weren't taken care of properly. I expected more from this restaurant. It was unfortunate because I don't know when we'll return next after this experience. The excellent quality of the food shouldn't be tarnished by bad service. If this happens again, I don't think I'll give it another chance. read more

I just visited this restaurant. As soon as the waiter arrived we made order for appetizers, drinks and our main entree. Our appetizer came in a timely manner but, our main entree took over 45 minutes to arrive. Other parties that arrived after us were already finished eating and were paying their tabs. When the waiter came back with out orders, the excuse was: "We're just busy". Mind you, when we arrived, the place was almost empty. The Napolitan pizza that we ordered was soggy and was mostly cheese. The Pesto Penne's chicken was burnt. read more

We have been there twice and both times the service has been TERRIBLE! The food is delicious and I like their menu but last week I took friends there from out of town for lunch. There were three other tables with customers and us. We arrived at 1:15 PM and did not get out of there until after 3:00 PM. Very frustrating. Because of the poor service I will not go back. read more

Had lunch here on March 9, 2017 with friend, Diane. Had mussels for appetizer. Fantastic. I had shrimp linguine. Excellent! Diane had chicken parmigiana. Superb. Enough to feed three people! David, our waiter was extremely courteous, professional and helpful. People, it helps to introduce yourself and be kind to these folks. A little bit of kindness goes a long way!! I will definitely come back to Guiseppe's and bring guests along!! Bon appetite! read more

I'm visiting from Philadelphia which has no shortage of amazing Italian food. We went for a quick dinner before driving around to see some Christmas lights. They took our reservation on pretty short notice. We chose to sit on the patio, which was sufficiently heated for the chilly nighttime temperatures. We had awesome cocktails, all of our entrees came out quickly, and were all amazing! Members of my party had the pork ricotta, the eggplant parm, and split a bianco pizza. Flavors were great, quality was great and it definitely surpasses some of my local go-to spots back home. Lastly, our server Lilly was very personable and attentive, and even apologetic for the wait (which frankly, was unnecessary because we all thought our food and drinks arrived promptly.) Thanks for having us and we'll be sure to stop in again next time we visit. read more

Ordered the stuffed mushrooms and cannelloni. Both were so salty it was edible. The chicken dish was under seasoned and overcooked. The fettuccini finally hit the mark. I had to wait until my husband was almost finished with his underseasoned dinner before I finally got something that I could eat. They were gracious and comped the meal, but I won't return soon. read more

Good food, atmosphere and perfect date destination without the distracting yakety yak!

Excellent! We really enjoyed our meal here. We both had a shrimp pasta, that we decided it was the best meal of our vacation. Friendly waiters, great service wonderful food, and a glass of wine. It couldn't have been much better. read more

Giuseppe's - Italian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I brought my lady here on a recommendation from a friend and I lost all food picking privileges..

Went for the first time with my boyfriend, for Valentine's Day. Understandably they were busy, we made a reservation and dressed the way we wanted. I was a server and my boyfriend currently is, we respect the line of service. However our server Colin, gave the worst service we have ever received. We felt judged and neglected because all the tables around us continued to receive service while we were not even given a nod. We had to ask for items multiple times, silverware, bread, etc. We always tip the appropriate 20%, but could not justify that this night. Never going back. Very unfortunate. Cheers to the chefs for remarkable food. read more

Great food and drinks. Huge portions. Reasonable prices. Quick and courteous waiter. Will come back.

Best pork carbonara ever!! The pork was so freaking good. Appetizers were bruschetta and stuffed mushrooms. Amazing! Service was spot on. If we lived in Tucson this would be at least once a month. read more

Don't know why this place doesn't have more stars. I'm guessing cause people like to complain about service. Not gonna lie, the service wasn't spectacular but it wasn't terrible either. There was busser that was busting his butt all night so hat tip to that young feller. Anyway the food was reasonably priced and the portions were bigger than expected. I got the meatball ricotta because I like meatballs and ricotta. read more

We were, sort of unwillingly, in the area and looking for a place to have dinner. I used my Yelp app on my phone and Guiseppe's popped up. Say no more... quick U-turn as we are heading in the wrong direction and we're there in a flash. It's the middle of the week so the place is not too crowded. We're seated right away, given menus and told the server would be right with us. We are quick to choose our drinks. The server takes our drink order and we are left to peruse the menu. My wife puts her menu down so I can tell she is quick to make her choice (I am very perceptive that way). Me... not so much. I discover the pasta choices on the back of the menu and, all of a sudden, my choices are clouded, The server returns, my wife gives her order and I ask the server to list his favorites. His first recommendation is something I had my eye on so I stop him and order that, The drinks we had were a mixed bag, My wife ordered the Comfortable Italian, their take on a whiskey/Amaretto sour. She raved so I snuck a taste when she went to the bathroom... I agree. A couple of those and I would be a Comfortable Mexican. My martini arrived ungarnished... no olives, no lemon twist, no effort. It was also very bland, possibly due to the lack of garnish. In hindsight, we were sitting close to the bar, and I did not hear the tell-tale shake-shake-shake that accompanies a properly made martini... no points. My wife's entree was Chicken Giovanni... which the menu described as being sauteed in a white wine garlic sauce and served with vegetable rice. She did say her sauce seemed tomato based but, nonetheless, enjoyed it. I ended up with the grilled pork, based on the server's recommendation. Grilled pork topped with sauteed spinach and mozzarella and baked. It was served with linguine and red sauce. The pork and spinach tasted unseasoned and the linguine with red sauce was kind of bland, aside from the sauce being kind of acidic. Overall, much like my martini, bland. Damn, I am picky. Maybe I expect Italian food to have that (avert your eyes if you are squeamish) garlicky-you-sleep-alone-tonight kind of burp later. I didn't get that. Service was kind of strange. We both had wine with dinner which, as Sarah L. says, is very reasonably priced. They were out of my first choice and the only time the server checked on us was when he brought the replacement choice. Otherwise we didn't really see him. Everything was very reasonably priced. I saw two of my favorite Italian dishes, again reasonably priced, Lamb Osso Bucco and Braciole on the menu. Why I listened to my server and not myself, and just order one of those, will remain a great mystery to me. I must return to try one, or both, of those. read more

I will be back to Giuseppe's. I went here this past Tuesday night with my family. Our order consisted of: Antipasto, 2 baskets of their amazing bread, a bottle of Pinot Noir, 2 beers, Penne & Sausage, 2 Veal special (vodka sauce) and Farfalle and beef(?). And the bill was barely over $100. I love the rosemary bread, I just absolutely loved it. Their olive oil dip was almost as good, it reminded me of how it is supposed to taste. I could of eaten that for a meal all on its own. The rosemary cheesy goodness was match with a nice light bread, served warm...could not ask for better. The antipasto was ok, my husband had gone here a couple weeks ago and raved about it, so I expected more. but it was good. The salami was great! It was a bit lopsided on its portions, but thats ok, I got a bite of everything which is what I needed. Although it could of used more ricotta (or whatever soft yummy cheese that was, I am not sure because I barely got any). I got the Penne & Sausage, I asked our server which dish he recommends - and that was the one. It was good, the sausage was amazing, but the sauce lacked pizazz for me. Maybe a creamy addition to the sauce would make it better :) I believe the sausage is homemade, and if so they do a damn good job. Huge chunks, and many of them may I add. This was enough for me to eat, give to my husband to eat half, and still have some to take home and eat the next day. The Veal in vodka sauce was good...it was the special of the night, not the same one on the menu. It was a little too salty for my liking, but thats what you get with those dishes, especially this one that was served with a good serving of Prosciutto (YUM!) 3 decent size pieces of veal, on a bed of noodles, another good portion for the money. The last dish at our table was the farfalle with beef, simple yet good. (the teenager of the bunch ordered this) I think he ate the whole thing in record time. I did manage to get a bite in, and the sauce was pretty good. A little cheap tasting, too much like cheesy hamburger mac...but maybe that was the point. I loved that I didn't feel ripped off ordering a NICE bottle of wine. If I recall it was A-Z Oregon Pinot Noir (normally around $15-20) at a liquor store, where as any other place would of marked it up $20-50, they didn't!! I didn't even have to think twice on ordering it for a few dollars more than I would pay at a store. Yes, I realize they probably get a special deal, but thats not the point. Most places will charge $50 for a $10-15 bottle of wine! The noise level wasn't as bad as I thought it would be reading the other reviews. We got there at 5:15ish, the place was dead. We got seated right away. First we tried to sit outside, but the tables are way to small for the 4 chairs they have around each. Once we sat down the tables filled up within 20 minutes, and then there was a wait at the door. I was literally inches from the guy next to me at the next table, but since he didn't bump into me or anything it really didn't bother me. We could talk to each other just fine...no repeating or yelling to hear over others. read more

I went to Guiseppe's last week while visiting friends in Tucson, my daughter and her friend recommended the place as having excellent food and great service - they were right on! My long time friends and I enjoyed several of the entrees and the BEST dessert ever, which we barely had room for since the food was so good we (almost) cleaned our plates and still had to have a to-go box! SO: large portions, really authentic Italian food - I compare all to my Italian Grandmother's cooking, she has a red spaghetti sauce that cooks for 9-12 hours - the service was fast considering the place was packed. House wines really yummy and inexpensive. We got a bottle of red and white for $11 each. Appetizers of stuffed mushrooms had us calling for seconds. We all had the soup: cream of asparagus - delicious! I had white fish with fettecuine alfredo instead of rice, and glad I did - it was wonderful and I took home the rest of the pasta for lunch the next day - it was still excellent. Yummy, just thinking about it now make my mouth water! Bites of my friend's lasagna - VERY good - not too many noodles - more cheese and sauce, and eggplant Parmesan: Mmmmmmmm, with a capitol M! My other friend had the salmon special - it was also excellent. Despite how busy Guiseppe's was, we did not feel rushed or that the waiter was hovering too much. It was very relaxed - the way Italian dinning should be! We left feeling satisfied and happy. I would not only go back, I look forward to it and am planning my next trip already! Oh! the desert: REAL spumoni - taramisu - and an incredible cake. We all shared ;~) PS: the prices were reasonable - great place to take a date and still afford more entertainment! read more

Being from Boston and used to food from the famous Italian North End, I'm a little spoiled. My go to is on W Magee Rd but couldn't get in. I found this place sort of tucked away where Putney's is. It wasn't very busy so I said to myself hmm maybe the ratings are a little off. Well wow was I wrong. We sat at the bar and the bartender Nick was very pleasant, accommodating and his service was excellent. We just had a pizza and some cheese cake but I was so very pleasantly surprised. Both were excellent. If I had to make one criticism it was that it seemed the food coming out of the kitchen was a little slow but Nick's service and the quality of the food made up for it. read more

Guiseppe's is going to be a big deal. Just opened in the space that used to house Trattoria della Famiglia, Guiseppe's is a re-entry into the restaurant business for Joe Scordato. Yeah, those Scordato's. If you've been in Tucson long enough, you've heard people waxing poetic about the old Scordato's at Gate's Pass. That was his parent's place, where he and his brother Dan (owner/chef at Vivace's in St. Philip's plaza) used to cook. It's not just pedigree and history that'll make Guiseppe's a big deal. The food is fantastic, the ambiance is inviting, and the prices are oh-so-reasonable: a glass of wine can be had for 4 bucks and a big ass plate of pasta and meatballs, 7.50! And it's good Italian wine paired with old family recipes. We ate there after work yesterday (3/7/10), six of us, very hungry, some of us quite grumpy. We ordered a wide variety of appetizers, entrees, and wine: Osso Bucco, Braciole, Ricotta Meatballs, Manicotti, Pollo Bolognese, Stuffed Mushrooms, and an Antipasta plate. Nothing was over 15.95 and everything was excellent. Shoot, even the Garden Salad (3.50) was enormous and good . We capped off dinner with Arbuckles's Coffee (a local Tucson roaster) and desserts included a hazelnut chocolate Parfait, and Dolce de Patricia (fans of the old Scordato's will remember this cake). We'll be back. read more

Overall a very good experience. Six of us enjoyed excellent service and because we got there earlier than expected we had happy hour starters and good wine at wine store prices. Excellent antipasto plate and stuffed mushrooms. Nice old school atmosphere. Plates are generous and beautifully presented, cheeses good quality. However Red sauces are rather thin, not robust. Disappointing. Maybe because of the older clientele. Prices very reasonable. Will return. read more

Guiseppe's, located in Casa Blanca Plaza on the northeast corner of Rudasill and Oracle has to be one of my top picks for Italian food. The Girlfriend and I had our monthly date night (which is the first Friday of every month) here. The ambiance of the place was just perfect. The Fettuccine Alfredo was perfect for the GF seeing she couldn't have any meats due to lent. I went ahead and ordered the Faralle and Bolognese and a cup of Minestrone soup. We enjoyed a glass of wine and some bread sticks while our foods were being prepared. Within ten minutes we had our dishes in front of us. The Fettuccine came out creamy and full of flavor. Never had a Faralle and Bolognese before, didn't really know what to expect. But as always, Guiseppe's didn't let me down. The Faralle was pack with flavor, color, and texture - had me saying "Man o Man this ish is delish!" Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the dishes and wine selection. My water cup was always full - Never once, had to ask for a refill. It was a very inexpensive dinner for what we had to drink and eat. Perfect place if you're trying to impress a chick ^_~ read more

The food is 4 out of 5 stars, the price is 6 out of 5 starts, giving them 5/5! Everything I've had on the menu is very good. I really enjoyed my penne sausage, and she ordered the chicken alfredo(which was even better). The best part? SUPER cheap wine. They literally have a glass of house red for $3, or bottles roughly at $15. If you are looking for an Italian dinner for a date, this is the place. Get some good food and a bottle of wine, and you can't go wrong! Good luck finding the place though, it is nestled in the corner of this little strip mall with not much advertising. Well worth finding it though. read more

Although it was a beautiful night, I came hungry and excited. Apparently the waiter came to us 50 min later after we ordered and said he made a mistake. Cudos to the fact that he came to let us know. However, he didn't even offer anything, not even more bread. My mistake for skipping lunch and having my hopes up. I probably won't come back. No food is that good to wait an hour. And I just wanted to let you know. I wasn't here an hour. I was here longer Because we already had our drinks. I usually like to give good reviews and just decide to come back to ones I am disappointed in but I had to say this was only handled subpar. Food is ok. Not 55 min good though. I probably won't come back. read more

Great food, yet the service.... My friend's parents are taking us out to eat here, and we walk in , it is a nice place, a little nicer scale than most places (nice date worthy). They oddly bring us to the table, which is too small for 5 people, then ask us to excuse them while they clean it off and add another table to it...why did they even take us to a table that isn't clean?? don't ask me.. Eventually we get seated at our table water is brought over immediately , drink orders are taken, he brings out some delicious bread, and there is a pesto mixture on the table to eat with the bread. Obviously 5 people with a small basket of bread, disappears quickly, we ask for another and it takes a little while to get out with it (but not an unreasonable amount of time). So far service is nothing out of the ordinary or slow, we order our food and the server is very helpful and knowledgeable in the facts about what the restaurant serves...kudos...(not serving kudos the snack, but props for that) Anyways, we order: Meatball ricotta, some pasta pesto thing, pollo bolognese, eggplant parmesan , and some seafood dish. I wish i could rate how each of these tasted for you, but i cannot since i only tried my own...the Meatball Ricotta. At lots of italian places you go it is really easy to over salt the meat, and cheese is a little more salty...so that means oh man salty dish....but this one wasn't like that. I was very pleased with how minor the saltiness was. The whole dish was delicious, meatballs fell apart and the meat was divine. The sauce didn't over power the cheese or the meat flavors, everything was in equal balance..like a three way yin yang...horrible example i know. Everyone else was really pleased with their dishes though, so i am guessing they had an equally pleasant experience. The food comes out extremely hot...so if you're starving its going to take some patience for you to eat it. Middle of our meal we are all running low on our drinks and ask for a refill...doesn't happen. We end up finishing our meal, and eventually at the very end...we ask another person who gets us refills on our drinks...for being a nicer level place i would say...refills faster please... they were not slammed either. Our waiter only had 2 tables (including ours). I will give him the benefit of the doubt though, the other table was kind of pressuring him because they wanted to leave really quickly so he had to box all their food and get checks for them...so in the hustle he may have forgotten, but YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! Anyways dessert rolls around we get the Dolce de Patricia and Tiramisu...the dolce de patricia was kind of bland, but the tiramisu was rich and oh so delicious. Nice creamy textures, with real whip cream on the side of it. Good way to end the night. I'd come back on a date possibly. One odd thing...two versions of their menu, one leaves out some dishes...soo hopefully you get the good/updated one...or maybe they will standardize them all.. *hint hint* read more

This place never disappoints. It is very reasonably priced, very quick service, and a humble calm environment. While there might be a fair number of Italian restaurants in Tucson, none qualify as great. Giuseppe's gives you the best quality for the value. We frequently make the 20 minute drive to Tucson's north side to eat here. While I have experimented with the menu, i always come back to the simple dish of baked penne and sausage. It is delicious and surprisingly spicy. Its a comfort food definitely, and the portion size is enormous. To curb the bloated feeling you can feel after eating a pasta, meat, and cheese dish, I recommend starting with a side salad. This will turn the dish into at least 2 separate meals. The beer selection is good, but Peronis are on draft for only $3.75, so you aren't inflating your meal price with the purchase of a couple of beers. Great job Giuseppe's. read more

Great food and lots of it! I've eaten here a number of times. I believe they hail from NJ, my ol' stomping grounds. And those New Jerseyites know how to make Italian food! MMMM. Four of us went. My friends had pasta dishes, my husband had a chicken dish, and I had the (unadvertised, but ask for it) Chicken Parmigiana served with pasta (I substituted angel hair pasta for my dish). Great! Huge portion. Excellent flavor and sauce, and I lavished Romano cheese on top of it. Bread is served with olive oil and special salt for openers. We left happy with the portions, the food quality and the service. I felt the pricing was fair for the portions and quality, too. Very fun waiter; just the right amount of care. You can eat outside or inside. Give 'em a try. You'll like it! read more

Guiseppe's is a great example of how a restaurant with really good food can make it in any location. It is located in the back of a shopping plaza with really no signage out on the main road. However, the place really fills up. The prices are very good and the food is excellent. Everything I have had has been excellent. I really love the antipasto plate - I sometimes have as a meal vs an appetizer. However, everything is really good! Service is always excellent. Last time we had Fabian as our server who made the whole dining experience absolutely enjoyable. I will continue to come back!!! read more

Very good food, excellent value. The dinner prices on most items are ridiculously low; seriously, this is the ultimate romantic date location for cheapskates. My wife and I had the Meatballs Ricotta, stuffed mushroom appetizer, minestrone soup, a salad, a piece of cake and the spumoni. Everything was good, especially the mushrooms. They also have beer on tap (Peroni and I think a microbrew). read more

This evening was a disappointment to our regular visits. It's hard to see workers standing around BSing with tables not perfectly set. Our coke drink was really flat. The menus needed a cleaning. Our table was missing oil for our bread. Our bread was rock hard. Our meal came and it was cool enough not to melt cheese on top. You tell someone and she says "oh, I just got here." I don't care...fix the problem. We were there from 4:15 until 5:15 and we were the only customer. They also did not have any minestrone soup. Let's pick up the pace folks. It was not abusy time. read more

This place is golden! Delicious food, great prices and neat atmosphere. We split the bruschetta as an appetizer, completely amazing... definitely a cheese lovers dream. I had the cannelloni for $9 and my fiance had the veal parmesan for $14... worth every penny! read more

I just love Guiseppes. Good food and service and the consistency is always excellent. I generally get the eggplant parm or the scampi dishes and they never disappoint. The prices can't be beat and the quality of food is better than many of the higher priced Italian restaurants around town. Plus Guiseppes aims to please. If you give them feedback that the cocktail is not exactly what you thought it would be, or if the appetizer is not warm enough, they fix it immediately. read more

The food was ok at best. We had a party of 4 and it took over an hour and a half to get hour food. Our drinks were never filled we had to ask for drinks because our server never asked if we wanted a refill. We started with the muscles and stuffed mushrooms which took about 45 minutes to get. The muscles were great stuffed mushrooms were a little dry. Our meals were underwhelming but the services was soooo slow it killed the meal for us. The part of 4 next to us sat down after us, ordered after us got there food BEFORE us and was done well before us. The restaurant was really warm it felt the like the AC was out and the kept propping the door open with only made it warmer. Would not recommend this place read more

Top-notch italian food that is actually affordable! I've been here a few times, but hands-down, my favorite dish is the meatballs ricotta. Farfalle pasta baked with meatballs (with a little kick), covered in ricotta and parmesan. Oh yeah. The sausage pasta is good, too--I recommend adding mushrooms, as recommended by one of the waiters. Best of all, you can get several pasta dishes for only $9.99, and it's always enough for two meals for me. I've always loved the service here, too. One night, I actually had a telepathic moment with the waiter. We were nearing the end of our dinner, and I realized no one had told the restaurant we were celebrating a birthday. I mouthed "birthday" to the waiter when I saw him appear with the check. He turned around and reappeared a minute later with a homemade italian cream cake with a candle. He raised his eyebrows. I tilted my head toward the birthday girl, and he placed the cake in front of her from behind to surprise her. No charge for the cake (and it's GOOD--one of my friends is Italian, and this cake reminds her of the cake her grandmother used to make for birthday celebrations). Atmosphere is elegant and intimate, with a family-owned feel. We saw several people with kids, and the wait staff was very gracious. Sitting outside is lovely, with star lights hanging from the ceiling. There used to be a gym in the space across from the restaurant with big windows, so you would watch people on the treadmill while you ate your pasta. But thankfully (or alas?), this built-in dieting inspiration to guilt you into ordering a salad is now gone. read more

I had just ordered a Cheese Pizza. My husband picked it up, as we were very excited to have a fresh pie. The Pizza was horrible! It had a soft, soggy crust, & tasteless . Although there was an over amount of cheese, it made the crust fall limp!! Looks like it went thru those fake pizza ovens, not the real deal fired oven. We will never go back to this restaurant again. read more

We ordered Pizza for the first time.... It was the worst pizza we ever had. It was limp, soggy, not crispy at all!!!!!! The only decent thing about it was the cheese....We will NEVER waste our $$ at this restaurant again. BIG Disappointment !!!! read more

Best Italian food I've had in Tucson. It's not like what I am used to growing up outside of Philly but good enough that when folks visit from out of town and want Italian food, this is where I take them. In the summer months the restaurant inside is severely cold. I've been inside in August and saw a number of folks enjoying their meals in wintertime sweaters an longs pants. Seriously. This place is great with families, large groups, small kids, whatever. Very accommodating. read more

Came here to celebrate a special occasion with a friend and her family and made reservations for 7 people. We were running late so we called and said we would be there at 8pm rather than 7:45, and they said it wouldn't be problem. We finally arrive and they do not have our table set up, which I thought was sort of odd since we called 15mins ago saying we were on our way. We get seated 15mins later and place our orders. My friend and I order the chicken Parmesan with vegetable rice but with no ham. Our food takes an extraordinarily long time to come out, despite there being only 3 other tables in the restaurant (one of which is on dessert). When we do get the food our orders come out with ham on our chicken Parmesans. It was handled pretty well, they brought us the correct new order, took of one of the chicken parms off the bill and gave 2 desserts of our choice on the house. Long story short..... Mediocre service Good food Affordable prices read more

Service was very slow, food was average and waiter was very rude. When I asked our water to check on our order after 30 minutes he returned and announced that it had "only been 21 minutes!" Well it took a total of 45 minutes to get our food. He was abrupt with every encounter until the bill came then he became empathetic to our experience. Wonder if the owner knows how rude one of his waiters is to their guests? read more

My wife and I just got back from dinner at one of the finest Italian restaurants anywhere! Period. We began our meal with their house salads. Then we shared a generous order of lamb osso bucco with linguine topped by a superb tomato sauce. We both moaned and groaned with delight from the sublime flavors, just like being in Italy! A large birthday party nearby ended their meal with a tall 3-layer candle-lighted cake with chocolate icing and a custard filling between the lower layers and chocolate filling between the upper layers. It was Dolce de Patricia cake, one of Guiseppe's specialties. So we ordered a slice to complete our meal. Great decision! Our server was William who was assisted by a new server trainee. Both were extra friendly and helpful. Guiseppe's is a one-of-a-kind family operation, which means we'll have to return to Tucson soon for another fine meal there. Next time we will have the Sicilian beef dish, braciole. We can hardly wait! read more

Today we arrived early and the Sous Chef Wade was outside. We almost left until Wade said I am the cook and will make you whatever you want. We stayed and glad we did. Best service and food we could ever ask for. Thank you Clair and Wade. We will definitely be back. Guiseppes is a local favorite. read more
