This was a fun place. The gluten free options left a bit to be desired, but it was manageable. Gluten free pizza and some boxed pasta are alright. Honestly I expected some more effort instead of no gluten free appetizers. Service was good, food was good. Not mind-bendingly good. The soup and salad were great. Ambiance was better than most of the places I've eaten out at. Definitely worth stopping here for a nice relaxed sit-down meal with read more

Very disappointing after seeing a high rating. I ordered a side Caesar salad before my entree and waited at least 20 minutes for it. The waiter said Caesar salads take a long time to make. I've made them and disagree. My entree was linguini with clams. The clams were sandy; small portion of linguini and too salty. My partner's chicken parmesan (sp?) was a small portion also. Prices don't reflect the sizes. The service was very slow and we watched diners who came in after us be served courses first. read more

Giuseppe's holds a special place in my stomach. I absolutely adore the owner, chefs, and wait staff. You feel so incredibly special when you dine here, and if you come more than once they are sure to remember you and make you part of their family. The atmosphere is always so joyful, bright, warm, and engulfing. But it's the food that we want and they assuredly do not skimp. My latest wine dinner was hallow ween themed and oh my so delicious. The wines were so on point, every one was a burst of new flavors for me. Then the food , oh the food. I've been to many of their dinners but I always fail at getting pictures of each course because I'm having such a great time. Tonight I did it! Lol. The presentation, the flavors, the back story, oh my! Getting into one of these special wine dinners is not easy, you need to prebook, no day of walk ins. Your efforts will be rewarded though. read more

Very romantic setting. Not too large and the atmosphere is very personal. They talk to you to try and find your preference if you would like. They have signed wine bottles displayed in cubbies with accent lights. I liked it. The food was made to order and the service was excellent. read more

The six of us really enjoyed dinner. We were in Williamsburg from New York and saw excellent reviews, so we decided to try Guiseppe's. We were not disappointed. Our pistachio mortadella pizza was excellent (high marks coming from NYC) and the caccio and pepe gnocchi was delicious. The veal Marsala was tender and lovely, and my wife said her eggplant parm was delicious. We shared the decadent chocolate torte fans a tiramisu for dessert... both excellent. And our server, Susan, was highly attentive and super friendly. With a premium bottle of wine and a generous gratuity, we left $265 lighter than when we arrived, which felt like a very good value. We'll be back. read more

I love Giuseppe's and always order the chicken Josephine. The service is good however my entree was delivered before I was able to finish the delicious lentil soup. This happens frequently. The dining room is comfortable and has great acoustics. read more

I meant to write this review a couple of days ago, my wife and I visited on Monday. The special was very good, it was a strip loin with manchego tortellini, mixing the meat with the cheese was perfect. The mussels are a favorite of my wife's and they are delicious. The place grew to be busy but the service was excellent. The restaurant always is very clean and has a great look to it. It has become a favorite for us when we want Italian and we live over a half hour away. read more

Whenever we're in Williamsburg, I insist that we go for dinner at Giuseppi's. We've been coming for more than 15 years. Every dish on their menu is classically prepared and presented. They also have an outstanding wine selection curated by the owner, with annual purchasing trips to Italy. Best Italian food anywhere on the East Coast. read more

My friend and I came to Carbo load before the Richmond Half marathon. Giuseppe's does not disappoint! We split the spaghetti & meatballs and pest gnocchi for dinner. The salad that was included was very fresh. For dessert, we split the seasonal lemon raspberry tiramisu, which was so unique but refreshing and delicious! The owner? stopped by the greet us and asked how we liked the dessert. Fast and great service, delicious food for reasonable prices (we're coming from the DC area). I highly recommend this spot that is popular amongst the locals! read more

Giuseppe's is my go to for awesome Italian dinners when I vacation in Williamsburg Va. The pasta with grandmas meatballs was delicious and just hit the "spot". The pasta with shrimp scampi was amazing. The scampi had a nice sear on them and literally tasted like lobster! Always a great dinner! read more

Fabulous! We looked like a classless group of pedestrians from Great Wolf Lodge (because, well...we were...but if I'm spending Lodge prices on food I want something that really satisfies). Despite our appearance, we were treated graciously and seated promptly without having a reservation. Service was efficient, warm, and helpful, without being sappy or condescending. The food was comforting and fresh. Really enjoyed the aglio olio. The flavors were simple and sung. Several hours later, I feel full with a happy tummy... no sign of the discomfort and bloating that's all too common after I eat food made with processed, cheap ingredients or that's not perfectly fresh. The proof is in how I feel a few hours later. Giuseppe's means good, clean food. I feel great! Highly recommend this spot for a lovely night out. Try to dress better than we did, though. read more

Charming locally owned restaurant. Solid Italian staples and great service. Stop here when visiting Williamsburg or the theme parks.

Best Italian food in Williamsburg. Service is excellent. Always special attention from management to make you feel at home.

When visiting the area I always go here. The food, ambiance and service are the best. If you like Tiramisu then you need to try it out here. MY GRADE: A minus. read more

Fantastic service and ambiance. Anthony runs a wonderful restaurant. Portions are large and tasty. Drinks are fun - I got the blood Orange sidecar three visits in a row. Bread is fresh baked onsite and served with real olive oil and fresh cracked pepper in a cute thumb smash grinder. This place is a 9.5 out of 10. read more

The food was excellent. The caprese salad special the best ever. I thought the Italian sausage aglio olio was delicious. The lentil soup thick and tasty. The service was great. We loved our meal so much we will probably try eat there again before we head home read more

We asked Jamie at the MVC resort (where we are staying) for a great place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. She sent us to Giuseppe's and wow did they deliver! Our reservation was for 6pm but not knowing where it was or how long it would take to get there, we got there before five! The place was packed shortly after they opened at five. We asked a young girl (Kennedy) if we could dine with them sooner than our reservation. Regardless of her age, she was as welcoming as a grandma welcomes a beloved grandchild! Great first impression!! Kennedy also assisted our server Sarah. They were both great and very attentive. We each had the most amazing lentil soup ever. We shared one large Caesar salad topped with fresh anchovies. The salad was large enough for two to enjoy. I highly recommend the scallop entre (with an Italian spin). I am already craving it again. My husband consumed homemade pasta with his chicken Marsala. Once I tried one strand of his pasta, I felt like a pup--I couldn't stop begging for more! For dessert, we shared a cherry chocolate treat. The owner went around to every table talking to EVERY patron. He knew most of the patrons by name. They all seemed to be close friends. He spent a little more time at our table getting to know us, since we were new to the restaurant. It seemed everyone loved him and the employees. We felt this was not just a meal but an experience. If you want to be enveloped in love and love your food at the same time, Giuseppe's has it all. As we were waiting for our bill, a patron walked over to our table and shared she had just taken care of our bill and left a generous tip as well to celebrate our wedding anniversary! She must have heard us discussing with server. Can't make this up! That's the type of patrons who eat here. Yes, this place is filled with love--the employees and gifted chefs truly love people and the work they do Praising God for everything! read more

WOOT! What a lovely place that seems to cater to the locals. The pasta was fresh. Seemed made in house. Very good prices and friendly staff. I would recommend a reservation because it was really busy. They had a kids menu which was a huge savings for me. Generous wine pour for me! I had the gnocchi, which was perfectly toothy. I loved it. Wish I lived closer!! read more

I recently went to Giuseppe's in order to get their delicious blackened chicken Primavera. I was greeted by the hostess stand, and they were so warm and inviting. The dining room was decorated in a festive manner, and I felt quite at home. I had a little weight for my table to be ready, but I didn't wait too long. The survey came out and brought the menu and took our drink orders. She asked if there were any appetizer requests and she offered a couple of suggestions. We decided to get the chicken wings as it was for us to eat while we looked at the rest of the menu. The drinks came out and soon after the wings came out. They were cooked to perfection. We asked for buffalo sauce on the side and they honored our request. We were able to dip the freshly fried wings in the sauce and it was absolutely delicious. While we were eating that server came over and took our entrée orders. Everyone got the blackened chicken Primavera as it is one of their greatest dishes. The food came out, hot and ready. Everything was fresh, and the Alfredo sauce was freshly made. It was extra caretaking because it was so creamy and it coated every piece of the dish. The squash zucchini were tender but tooth. The broccoli was fresh. The blackened chicken was cooked appropriately, and the entire dish warmed our hearts. We save room for dessert and got the fried dough that came with the different sauces. They were absolutely fantastic. If you're in the area and want some local fair, please come to Giuseppe's. They offered Italian cuisine that is not the chain restaurant experience. read more

Love their food. Wish they were still open for lunchUsed to have their pizza, and other great lunches. ALSO love the fried artichoke hearts! read more

Service was good-not great-we had to ask for water refills but the food came out quickly. People at my table really enjoyed their dinner. They had the spaghetti and meatballs, pesto gnocchi, and pizza. I came due to recommendations on another app for gluten free people. I have celiac. My dinner was all around disappointing. The vegetables in the tomato soup were very crunchy. It was as if they added them right before serving the soup. The pasta in my pasta bolognese was VERY overcooked and mushy. I ate what I could but it was gross. read more

we had the lentil and the Tuscan tomato soup to start. they both were so amazing!!! Then we had the house made authentic Ceasar salad that included anchovies so yummy. Rare that a restaurant makes their Caesars with them top it off we had a glass of refreshing muscat wine to go with our tiramisu and cannoli desserts. staff was so friendly and attentive . great atmosphere and hand made foods. the bread also was such a delight. Five plus stars will eat here again fore sure!! read more

Been to Williamsburg many times but just found Giuseppe's. Immediately greeted by the owner. We had lentil soup, chicken marsala, and Margarita pizza. All very good. My husband said the mushrooms in the sauce were the best. Good service and reasonable. Coming back! read more

I discovered this restaurant by accident, having looked at three other Italian restaurants with men's first names and similar ratings. I chose Giuseppe's because it was closest to my hotel. Boy, did I luck out! The Caesar salad was authentic (anchovy included) and dressed perfectly (i.e., lightly). The eggplant parmesan was the BEST I've ever had (and that is my default/"go-to" entree). The half carafe of chianti I ordered was so generous that I could drink only half of it. If you are a "foodie," do not overlook this place! read more

Excellent menu and terrific customer service. Friendly and helpful. Also made it easy to make modifications to vegan-ize a dish.

We feel like family when we are at Giuseppe's. We love the food on their main menu, and they create amazing specials. My family also enjoys ordering all the appetizers for our meal. It's so fun to have a glass of wine and enjoy so many great dishes together. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere made Giuseppe's a great choice for family dinner on a Friday evening. Every member of my party ordered something different and we all left full and happy. We had reservations but half of our group arrived early. We planned to have a drink or two at the bar until our table was ready, but our server was able to seat us immediately and got us started on drinks and appetizers. The absolutely charming owner chatted with us and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We ended up ordering a variety of sides and entrees including the homemade pappardelle, meatballs, eggplant parmesan, shrimp scampi, gnocchi, salads, and soups. The were very accommodating for dietary requests, and everything was excellent, so fresh and flavorful. In particular their tomato sauce, the absolute backbone of any Italian restaurant, was one of the best I've had. We even discovered a new favorite bottle of wine at the recommendation of our server! I would absolutely return to this restaurant and recommend it to others. read more

One word would say it all...excellent!!! Homemade blue cheese dressing to die for. I had shrimp scampi and it was the best I have ever had. Shrimp was broiled or roasted with a few breadcrumbs so they were not soggy. The sauce was light and refreshing with the tomatoes. Service was awesome and the place has great vibes! read more

The food and service was excellent! I recommend the restaurant! I suggest you make reservations!

We ordered the chicken Marsala and the pasta bolognese that mentioned house made pappardelle noodles. The chicken Marsala was incredibly delicious full of fresh flavor with vegetables in the broth. My pappardelle was not right. My husband took a taste and agreed. We notified the server who then found out that the chef had inadvertently put truffle oil instead of olive oil into the dish so he remade it and it tasted better. However it did take quite a while for me to contact the server so my husband was all done with his meal by the time I received the new one. The meal was not comped. Plenty of Italian restaurants in this area for us to choose from so I don't think we will be back. read more
