    Minestrone soup
    Katy D.

    I am quite picky when it comes to red sauce, but Papa Giuseppe's sauce is top notch. I ordered baked cheese raviolis, garlic knots and the minestrone soup. Each was flavorful, delightful and exactly what I wanted. The sauce is not chunky and has the best flavor and the melted cheese on the raviolis made it that much more delicious. They are also very reasonably priced! Totally worth checking out if you want good Italian food.

    Pasta fagioli soup and garlic roll

    What took us so long to find this little Italian gem? Despite the tacky wall of fake greenery and flowers, we found the place to be terrific: reasonably priced, great food taste, and excellent service. We stopped by for dinner on a Friday night without reservations and were seated right away. (I suspect this may not be the case during "season", when the snowbirds return.) We were in the mood for pizza. Papa Guiseppe's has one pizza size: 12" In addition to the regular pizza, they offer a Sicilian thick crust pizza. I asked if the regular pizza had a crunchy or a soft crust. The server said it could be prepared either way. Yay! We ordered the soft crust with pepperoni on 1/2 of the pizza. Was it the best pizza ever? No, but it was tasty and satisfied our craving. We also ordered a baked ziti entree to go with the pizza. It came with a choice of garlic or regular rolls. Yes, please! We had both. The garlic was not overpowering as is the case with some Italian restaurants. It also came with a choice of pasta fagioli or minestrone soup. We chose the former. It was a bit salty but still very good and full of beans and pasta. The baked ziti was delicious! It had a nice sauce and plenty of cheese. In fact, the pasta was better than the pizza, so we finished the pasta and took home some pizza. The server was attentive and checked in regularly to be sure we had everything we needed. And the prices of the entrees are quite reasonable, which was refreshing to see as restaurant prices have risen so much recently. We will definitely be back ... soon! ... to explore other menu items at Papa Guiseppe's.

    The place has good food and good service, but it has some lousy policies that prevent it from being a better restaurant. First off, if you get a meal you can only get soup with it. Salad is an upcharge, and this is different than most Italian restaurants where you can get soup or salad without getting a hit to your wallet. Also, if you order pizza in the restaurant, you can only order a small individual Pizza. Any other Italian restaurant will let you order any size you want. I suppose the goal here is to get more money out of you since everyone has to order their own individual Pizza rather than getting a big pizza for the table. In any event, it's not cool.

    Amazingly DELICIOUS food! The service was wonderful and very helpful. We sat in the outside area and loved every second of it. Adorable place! Highly recommend.

    These pies are always great takeout. Perfect for large gatherings and office parties.

    I cam here with a decent size group and I must say the service was very good. I ordered the chicken marsala with broccoli and a salad. (When the bill came, I was surprised they charged me an extra $2 for the broccoli; it would have been better if they had told me there would be an uncharge). Always very good. I had to bring home cannolis for my family which they devoured. Everyone seemed to enjoy their dishes; eggplants park, pasta fra diavlo, salmon, chicken and more. I would go back as I have only heard great things about the restaurant. And it is close to home! So we will definitely return. Very casual atmosphere. And very yummy Italian food.

    Meatball Parmesan
    Britt Z.

    I had food delivered two times via Uber Eats. Both times the food arrived hot and fresh. Pizza was good, not good as in New York good, but for Florida, it was good. Lots of gooey cheese and the sauce wasn't bad either. A bit tangy for my taste as I prefer a little sweetness in my sauce. I didn't try my friends Chicken Parmesan hero but he liked it and ate the entire hero. I did not like the meatballs at all. They were small and tasted like they were out of a bag. Frankly, they didn't even taste like homemade meatballs. I tossed them as they were inedible. I'll try the pizza again because that was pretty good.

    Yummy shrimp cocktail!

Our waitress seemed uninterested in being there and completely disappeared when we needed her most. Very disappointing experience overall. We will not be returning. Bread was too hard, rice balls bland and too much cheese. So many more options in Atlantic watch out Tramonti.

We paid almost $100 per person for their omakase experience and it was a complete rip-off. First of all, we left completely starving. There was not one single ounce of protein in any of the courses, and every dish was aggressively salty. The service was just as much of a joke as the food. We never got our water or sodas refilled, and the staff completely ignored every single request we made. They also totally skipped us for the welcome glass of champagne, even though we literally watched them hand it out to everyone else. The most infuriating part was the bread situation. They told us we could not have any because their "upstairs bread oven wasn't working", but we could clearly see them actively serving bread to the downstairs customers. Make it make sense! Also, multiple people in our group had upset stomachs after and could not even stomach the food and left feeling uneasy. They now believe they have food poisoning which is disappointing since we used to love this place! It was also too loud inside and we felt packed as sardines. When we finally expressed our extreme dissatisfaction to the manager, he just gave us a weak "sorry" and did absolutely nothing to make it right. Honestly, the food was worse than cruise ship food and the customer service is completely nonexistent. It was a huge waste of money and a ruined night. Save your cash and go literally anywhere else.

Chef Suzanne Perrotto opened in 2019 and named the restaurant in honor of Linda Rose, her mother. I have been wanting to go for years, but haven't because they don't accept reservations. Everybody seems to have been here from Michelle Bernstein, Guy Fieri, Raymond, Bruce, Greshka, Bill, Martine, Ariel, Quinetlla ... Everyone but me until today!!! Six of us decided to try going early on a Sunday evening off season. We found street parking around the corner. It's too Florida hot to stand outside in the summer heat. There are tables in front, a covered back patio with fans, large bar with a shared table ... There was an open kitchen with a large pizza oven, murals & shelves with ingredients covering the walls. I absolutely love good homemade pasta so this was a real treat. We waited at the crowded bar for :30 until our table for 6 was available. It was frustrating because diners finished their meal, paid their bill & spent :20 scrolling on their phones. While standing at the bar we enjoyed refreshing fruity sangrias. Our server was efficient and on point. The warm bread with butter and olive oil was crisp & delish. My husband & I shared 3 veal meatballs in a delicious red sauce. Couples shared their caesar & gorgonzola salads. For a main my husband & I shared the spicy lamb shoulder rigatoni. The serving was generous , there was lots of tender lamb, with melt in my mouth rigatoni that was full of flavor.

To put that claim to the test; I decided to take my girlfriend out tonight and give this place a shot! Going in, there was surprisingly a good amount of seating and outside for a place that doesn't take reservations. For dinner, we ordered 1x wood fired house bread, 1x ala vodka with a chicken cutlet, and 1x short rib pappardelle. As for my review; we both agreed that we were both blown away by the food and service. First off, we ordered our food and received our appetizer within first 5 minutes and main dishes the next 7-10. To include, the food also came piping hot which again is almost unheard of. As for the taste; the house bread is essentially a foccacia; which was crispy yet airy and paired nicely with ricotta, balsamic, and EVOO. The ala vodka has a great contrast of cream to acidity from the tomatoes, a nice al dente bite of from the pasta, and tender crispy chicken cutlet! The short rib parpadelle was a show stopper as the noodles tasted fresh and had a nice chew, savory earthy/ creamy sauce, and tender bites of short rib which all together was AMAZING. My only small critique from tonight is that there is a 3% credit card fee which I think should've been disclosed before paying the bill (just FYI). But overall, this is was one of the best meals I've had in a while and will be coming back. Final verdict 5/5 stars!

That afternoon we asked if we can add one more person (so 6 in total) and were told we'd need to arrive at 6:15 pm. Logistically, that makes zero sense. The extra table seat wouldn't be a problem, and adding 15 minutes for the kitchen for 1 extra meal? But, ok. We arrived to a nearly empty restaurant at 6:15. We are catching up, looking at the menus and within 10 minutes the owner is hovering over us asking for our orders. We ask for another few minutes -- we hadn't even gotten our drinks. He tells us we have 2 hours so we have to hurry. Look, I live down the block from Le Sorrelle. I pass it night after night, and yes, it's has its nights where it is party central. People love to host family events there. But most of the time, this place is sorely wanting for business. And while perhaps Le Sorrelle did fill up after we left, there was plenty of seating when we did slip out, well in advance of our 2-hour limit. As for the food -- I can only speak to what I ordered. A Caesar salad and Pizza Margherita. Both were awful. And I'm really not just saying that because of the restaurant experience that night. I previously had pizza at Le Sorrelle (albeit, years ago now) and it was quite good. Perhaps the cheese pizza would have been. As for a good Caesar salad, run, don't walk to Segreto Italia. Actually, just go to Segreto Italia, because Chris, Joey and Chip will treat you like gold and you'll have an overall outstanding experience.
