A hidden Gem! Authentic Italian food- The real Deal! Casual dining - Dom and Victoria are the best hosts. The seafood is so fresh and the gnocchi's are to die for. Love! read more

We are always looking to support little charming mom-and-pop shops, after reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. From the moment we walked in, we knew it was a mistake. But giving the benefit of the doubt, we stayed. This is not the ideal of mom-and-pop shop, no warmth, no coziness and no thoughts to the decor, simply a hole in the wall. We ordered the mozzarella appetizer, Chicken Piccata, Chicken Marsala and Lasagna, and also the ricotta cheese cake. The food has no personality, and the portions were small. The whole experience was very disappointing. read more

This is a small restaurant and you need to have reservations. That said, the Branzino Michelle was delicious! The spaghetti with clams and white sauce was great! The bread was fair. You can bring your own bottle. Not a big choice on the menu but what we had was perfect. read more

Giuseppe's was such a refreshing surprise. The couple who own it are so nice and immediately made us feel welcome. We ordered the Caesar salad, chicken Marsala, and chicken picatta (sorry I know my spelling is horrible) everything was outstanding. You can tell that everything was fresh and that the food was prepared with care. The chicken was very tender. But the highlights were the sauces. Both the Marsala and the picatta were absolutely delicious. read more

Make a reservation. Now. Get in there. You will not regret it. This tastes of family meals cooked fresh by your grandmother. This place is a batch of heaven and can even round out a wonderful dinner with espresso afterwards. On special they had Gnocchi Bolognese, and boy was I lucky. The gnocchi was perfect and pillowy. The bolognese didn't detract from the flavor of the gnocchi but rounded it out into a wonderful savory experience that still left the subtle sweetness of the tomato in tact. This is absolutely worth setting aside the time for. I will be going back. How can you resist good Italian food? read more

I've lived in Boca my whole life and this is my favorite restaurant in all of south Florida. It's a nice quiet spot if you're looking for some authentic Italian food. The sfoglialtella is amazing along with the tiramisu. I look forward to coming every time I'm home read more

Great food and local family business hospitality. Both the lasagna and seafood pasta were excellent. Authentic Italian and very friendly owners. Don't miss it! read more

What a fantastic experience! Made reservations at this lovely tiny restaurant after so many great reviews. I brought my family and promised them an unforgettable Italian dining experience and Giuseppe's delivered. We brought a bottle of wine for them to cork free of charge. We ordered an the cheese and olive appetizer, very yummy! The burrata was great, soft and creamy. For entrees we ordered the chicken marsala, half bronzino, seafood pasta and shrimp linguini. The bronzino was amazing!! The fish was fresh as he showed it to us prior to cooking. The meat was soft, flaky and white. It fell off the bone--cooked perfectly! The whole table enjoyed this dish. My seafood pasta was great! They were very generous with the mussels, clams and shrimp. Very very good. My brother loved his marsala ate it all up and was very happy with it. My sister also really enjoyed her linguini. The owners, Giuseppe and his wife were beyond accommodating. They were the most friendly people talking to us throughout the meal and even walked us out. Very family oriented who provide a very personalized experience. Youre not just another customer here! You really feel like they want you to enjoy your meal and have a good time. They are very flexible and will work with you with whatever dietary restrictions you have. If you haven't dined here yet, wait no more. Come and experience true Italian dining! read more

Best authentic Italian food, best service, loved loved this restaurant. 2 thumbs up way high.

We had a wonderful experience dining at Gueseppie's in Boca Raton. We were warmly greeted by the owners who placed our bottle of wine in an ice bucket at our table with two wine glasses (BYOB). Without delay, they returned with delectable, warm, and fresh bread with an elegant tasting olive oil. We started with an antipasti, "Mozzarella Caprese" as our eyes and taste buds welled up with enthusiasm. The tomatoes they hand selected were perfectly ripe and extremely flavorful. The Buffalo mozzarella from Italy is truly a superior cheese like no other aa it was moist and soft. For our Main Entree we shared, "Branzino Michelle." The European Sea Bass was an exceptional, mild and flakey fish that melted in your mouth. Sweet and tender lobster was added to the dish and served over a tasty pasta with garlic, artichokes, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes in a delightful sauce. We highly recommend this family- owned restaurant for an upscale experience offering a comfortable atmosphere that excels in regional Italian food. We didn't have room for dessert and plan to go back for the "Ricotta Cheesecake" as my boyfriend Paul and Imade this our favorite restaurant by far! read more

Very good Italian food! Very very busy but the staff was very polite, apologetic for the long wait, the food was great and everything was very clean. Will be back read more

Absolutely delicious authentic Italian cuisine, everything tasted so fresh and was cooked to order. Everybody there was so friendly and welcoming. I had the rigatoni bolognaise which was definitely the best bolognaise that I have had in my life. We also had a bruschetta appetizer that was so well balanced and FRESH! Thank you for the delicious food we will definitely be back! read more

The restaurant was charming The staff was very friendly and the food was excellent The sauces were very light Also the desert was delicious We will Definitely go back read more

I love this restaurant! Family owned, husband and wife team straight from Italy. Authentic food, friendly people charming atmosphere. It's the kind of restaurant where you just let the owner pick your meal. read more

Home-cooked Italian food. It's like being at a relative's home which, of course, reminds me of my extended Italian family. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the seafood was so fresh. The antipasto was fantastic as well. We will definitely be back to this gem of a place. The owners are very sweet and attentive a well. Thank you for a lovely dinner. read more

I gave my word to my dear friend Marc that I wouldn't write a review until he wrote his. I keep my promises & today is the day I can finally spill the beans. Here I go... Park in the back of the cafe and simply walk around to the front entrance. Upon entering the cafe you will see six or seven tables, a counter with a display of homemade cookies and a freezer case of gelato & that's about it. This isn't your typical fancy schmancy Boca Schmoca restaurant. This is great news because you will have personalized attention from Domenic & Victoria; the husband and wife team that have created this special cafe. You won't be rushed because they are not looking to flip tables. They genuinely want you to enjoy your meal. While Chef Domenic is creating his magic in the kitchen, Victoria is being a gracious hostess, an attentive server all while making sure her guests are enjoying the delicious food coming out of the kitchen. Both are passionate about preparing good food with fresh ingredients and they take great care in making sure you have a great dining experience. Domenic stopped by our table to make sure we were happy. Of course we were, because he's an amazing chef. Victoria checked on us too & made sure we had everything we needed. I felt like I was dining in their home & not in a restaurant & that's a wonderful feeling. Especially for Boca. Victoria bakes the cookies and desserts but I am not positive if she also makes the bread, which is scrumptious. Nothing is better than piping hot fresh baked bread right out of the oven. Simply delicious. Marc & Dennis ordered an antipasto for the table & I almost started drooling when I had my first bite of the homemade burrata cheese. Once you cut through the paper thin shell of hard mozzarella, your digging into the soft, creamy, rich goodness of true burrata. Everything on the platter was fresh & wonderful. The meat was incredible & don't even get me started on the artichokes. You must order the antipasto, it's truly amazing & the best I have ever had. Did I mention the creamy burrata? I would order this as a meal. So good. Your welcome to bring your own wine & unlike other restaurants, you will not be charged a corkage fee, which is rare especially in Boca. Marc and Dennis ordered shrimp dishes. I tried the shrimp (thank you Dennis) & it was so good. Two things you need to know about this restaurant; if you want a certain fish or something not on their menu, give them a call a few days in advance & they will make it for you. Most importantly, with only a handful of tables, if you plan on eating, be sure to make a reservation. Tortellini with pesto sauce was on the menu & I knew I had to order it. Pesto sauce is a favorite of mine & I seldom see it offered in restaurants. The tortellini was delectable and the creamy pesto sauce was crazy good. The portion was large enough for two meals & it made a fantastic lunch the following day. So good! We split a large cup of chocolate chip mint gelato & the gelato was cold, creamy and oh so good. Victoria bakes the cookies so I asked her if she makes rainbow cookies. They are a treat I often bring for dessert when going to a friends home for dinner so I was thinking ahead for future reference. Not only did she say yes, she was kind enough to give us a few to sample. They were much tastier than the cookies from the bakery where I normally buy them. Next time I need to bring dessert somewhere, I will be placing my order with Victoria. Thank you to Marc & Dennis for a great night of food and friendship. Domenic & Victoria, thank you for making me feel like a guest in your home. I highly recommend Giuseppe's for lunch, dinner or a sweet treat. Enjoy!!! read more

I would give Giuseppe's 6 stars if I could. If you're here scrolling through reviews looking to convince yourself whether or not to go, please trust me - go now and thank me later! **PRO TIP**: Make reservations in advance, and you can also ask for custom dishes/substitutions if you call ahead. Not necessary, but may reduce your waiting time for your food. ... oh, hello, you're still here reading this? Okay, since it seems like you *really* need convincing, let me break down my experience for you, step-by-step. TL;DR: Fantastic meal. Even better dessert. Quality and caring service. Private Italian chef atmosphere at a shockingly affordable price. I am jealous that you are in Boca Raton considering eating here while I am far away, freezing in NYC, envious of you and your tastebuds that are in for a treat. - Arrival: From the outside, I almost passed the restaurant because it was so subtle and low-key in such a high-end (in my opinion!) area of Boca Raton. Thankfully, my friend who suggested the restaurant had been there several times before throughout the years, so he knew exactly where to go. - Ambience: Warm and welcoming. It quite literally felt like I was Italian, in Italy, being served a private feast in the comfort of my home by my Italian grandparents. At first glance, the seating comes off similar to deli style, but the meal is exceptional nonetheless. There are about 7 tables in the entire restaurant, which is about the size of a modest apartment unit. The staff consists of a husband-and-wife team; the husband is the sole chef, and the wife helps prepare and serves. When I was there, there was also one other helper on hand to serve breads, etc. Given that there is a single chef, you may have to wait a long time for your food if you time your arrival poorly (for example, if you arrive immediately after several other parties, whose food will be prepared before yours); that is why the owners and I both encourage you to make reservations in advance! My friend and I had to wait a little while for our food, and it was absolutely beyond worth it. - Service: Incredible. The wife recognized that I am an Italian food amateur, and she was incredibly helpful to describe all of the dishes and differences in flavors, ingredients, etc. She even checked on my friend and me several times before and throughout the meal to ensure that everything was perfect. She even brought extra plates during our meal so that we wouldn't have to mix flavor profiles (we had a lemon dish, a tomato sauce-based dish, and a white wine sauce-based dish). - Price: Everything was priced right around what I would expect, no more and no less. That said, given the generally high cost of cuisine in Boca Raton, I would consider this food and experience an absolute steal! - Entrees: INCREDIBLE. My friend and I split three items: Gnocchi 4 Formaggi, Chicken Picatta, and Rigatoni Bolognese (one of the specials, not listed on the menu). Every dish was fantastic and flavorful! My order of preference was 1. Gnocchi, 2. Rigatoni Bolognese, 3. Chicken Picatta. My friend's order of preference was 1. Chicken Picatta, 2. Rigatoni Bolognese, 3. Gnocchi. Clearly, all are exceptionally delicious if there were no stand-out dishes in comparison to the others. - Dessert: Jaw-dropping deliciousness. I couldn't resist and got a slice of cheesecake -- one of the best slices of cheesecake I have ever had in my life! Just like the entrees, they make all of the desserts in-house, and they use Ricotta cheese in the cheesecake instead of typical cream cheese. I could have eaten an entire cheesecake and would have been happy (and much heavier...!). So many other desserts tempted me, including the cannoli and chocolate cake, but I am so beyond glad I chose the cheesecake. - Worth mentioning: Throughout our dining experience, as all the other parties at other tables wrapped up their meals, every single one of them (including us when we finished) made a point to shake the husband's and wife's hands to thank them for such an incredible dining experience. Over and over all night long, we heard comments such as "that was the best meal I've had in a long time," "I am sad the meal is over," and "I look forward to coming back soon." THAT alone should convince any sensible person to give this restaurant a try! And yes, if and when I return to Boca Raton, Giuseppe's will be the first restaurant I visit. If you've made it this far, kudos! I'm sure by this point, you have decided on Giuseppe's for your next meal. I am envious of you and wish we could trade places. Enjoy the experience for both of us :). (And if you somehow decided not to go to Giuseppe's, all I can say is Godspeed as you embark on your adventure to find some resemblance of meaning in your life.) read more

Run...don't walk to eat here! We were without a kitchen for Christmas so we ordered from here -- and everything was amazing!! The chicken parm was perfectly breaded and light. The rigatoni bolognese was amazing. Really amazing. All of my nephews were talking about how it was the best bolognese ever. The sausage and broccoli rabe was delish. The caesar was so good too. You can't go wrong ordering from here. It is the best and Domenico is so easy to work with and so very helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Great experience! We were not too sure what to expect when we walked in, but very happy we stayed for dinner. The fresh table bread was wonderful. The lasagna was the best I've ever had. Shrimp was fresh. Everything was fresh! It was a two people show, I believe Mr. Giuseppe himself cooked for us. The server, maybe his wife, was very pleasant and warm. We were happy to spend $ here rather than a mainstream place. There is a reason this place is rated so high- go with your instincts! You have to get a cappuccino and the lemoncello dessert! Highly recommend. Don't judge go with the flow and try this place out. Thank you Giuseppe & Lady! Xoxo read more

Boca has so many restaurants and I am a foodie. I went in wondering how any restaurant could have so many five star reviews. They proceeded to do everything perfect. Started by showing us the fresh seafood to be used, checking with us during every course and assuring all our expectations were met. So service was great. First course was very good then came dinner. Three of us went with the seafood daily special and it was amazing. Lobster and mussels over linguini with a lemon saffron sauce. Nothing out of a can or bottle. Even the tartar sauce was home made. Shopping daily to assure everything is fresh! If one has been to Italy they know how good this can be. This place is special. They care and one can feel it and taste it. Best meal I have had in a very long time. Also, parking behind the restaurant for easy access. read more

Vitoria and Dominico are lovely hosts and answered all of our questions about Italy and their lives in America. The food was delicious and they were completely accommodating to our food limitations (My wife is gluten intolerant and I'm keto). Dominico threaded the needle with perfection and managed to rekindle our desire to travel to Italy as a bonus. We had the Antipasto, Branzino Michelle and the broccoli rabe with sausage and garlic sauce. Followed it all up with a stout little macchiato. Real, fresh ingredients lovingly prepared by genuinely good people. read more

Chef Domenico at Giuseppe's Cafe prepared several outstanding dishes for us yesterday: meatballs with marinara sauce, chicken piccatta, sausage and brocoli rabe, chicken pizzaiola. Best catering menu - everything was amazing. Thank you so much Chef! Whole family enjoyed it. read more

I must have driven by this restaurant hundreds of times without knowing it was there. It's a small restaurant near Mizner Park that's easy to miss but nice to find. Giuseppe's is a modest, cozy and unpretentious restaurant that is the literal definition of a "mom and pop" as the owners were the server and the chef - and both were very nice. We tried several items and enjoyed them all. A gnocchi dish with shrimp was good as was a chicken special over pasta. It's always good to support small local businesses and because of that I'll be back. Well that and the good food. read more

Another fabulous meal at Giuseppe's. If you looking for a friendly place to have real Italian food, this is wonderful place in Boca Raton.

Very authentic Italian in quaint mom&pop cafe. Amazing food. Only disappointment was lack of meat dishes - would have expected a veal parmigiana at a minimum. But everything we ate was great! read more

Went to Giuseppe's Cafe for a birthday dinner for my husband and they were very accommodating and sweet couple. Not only were they sweet but the food was super authentic, flavorful, and fresh!

Awesome tasting authentic Italian food, phenomenal absolutely phenomenal!! The service was great and the coffee was as promised. This is a hidden gem that gives you the ambiance and feels of being actually in Italy, exporting you to Italy without the airfare. read more

What a gem. Every single aspect of this place was 5 stars from service, simple ambiance, intimate environment, cute and bubbly owners, amazing seafood pasta, and perfect dessert. This is where you go to have pasta that focuses on the seafood and had a very light sauce to not fill you up or overpower the fresh seafood taste. We ended up just letting the owner make two pastas for us however he wanted because we immediately had so much trust in him. I'll go back to the hyatt next door for work specifically to eat here again! read more

The food was absolutely incredible, we saw the many reviews and felt we had to go here. The experience is amazing, the kitchen is run by a single chef and the nicest woman runs the front.

This meal is the best dining experience me and my family have ever had. The food and service was INCREDIBLE!!!!! The owners made all food fresh and treated my family and me like their own family. It was such a good experience, we all wrote our own reviews because we felt one five star review was not enough! My sister asked for a business card, and the owner said they don't have them, but after my sister mentioned she collects them pulled their only, old business card off the coffee maker, removed the tape, and gave it to her! I made a Yelp account so I could post this review!! read more

What a find! Simply amazing. Intimate setting, everything is fresh and made to order. Husband and wife do all the cooking & they make you feel like your home. Portions are perfect. We had an antipasto with the freshest mozzarella I have ever had. Then a risotto with lobster that was just to die for. Don't miss this little gem. We will be back! Fyi....you can bring your own wine or champagne ! read more

First off, BYOB. They do not serve alcohol but encourage guests to bring their own. Second. Do not judge a book by its cover. The pictures online and the impression driving by make the restaurant look more like a deli than a nice Italian Trattoria. They're deceptive. It's lovely inside and very comfortable. Third. Forget all that and just come for the food. It's all you need to know. If you want good food, come to Giuseppe's. Its out of this world! That's it. read more

This place is one of a kind. The food is superb and the husband/wife owners who cook and serve the food are so personable. It honestly felt like I was eating at their home as a guest. This was my second time there and it was just as good (if not better) than the first time. If you told me I was at a small cafe/restaurant in Italy I would believe you. Please support this small amazing business, they deserve it far and away before any of the larger chains in the area. We will be back a million times! read more

Always a great meal. Customer service is by far the best. Ambiance having a great meal at home with your own private chef.

Such a WONDERFUL find. Visiting from Canada/Texas/Japan and found Giuseppe's Cafe' - decided to have dinner. They're Soooooo nice and welcoming. It's a slice of Italy here in Boca.
