I was there on an invite by a fantastic friend. The place was in far flung Jefferson Township…read more Never been there but the drive was pleasant on a weekend, getting there was a winding vista of woods and lake then the clearing... Portofino. There is ample parking and it was packed that afternoon. I was met by the friendliest staff. One in particular was wearing a chef's uniform who was dashingly handsome. The entire place's ambiance is classy, warm and cozy, busy with locals who knows each other Riesling was good. The Bruschetta was delicately flavored and fresh. I'm not usually crazy with it but this has been the best I've ever tasted...so far. Lobster ravioli was phenomenal. Nuanced flavor (definitely not store bought) perfectly balanced ingredients that meld in to one delectable tasting meal. The pièce de résistance was dessert- Almond cake. Light as air. Not too sweet, just heavenly cloud like consistency that melts in your mouth. I'm definitely going back and take that 50mile drive over again. Oh yeah! I was totally enthralled by my company as well.

Food is phenomenal. The service is great the ambience I drive over an hour to go there.read more

For this party, we had a great selection of appetizers, followed by an entree. The baked clams and cold antipasto platter were very good.

Being new to the area we are trying out new restaurants. This is our second visit to Giuseppe's…read more Yes, the portions are large but the food is mediocre to say the least. When we arrive tonight there were only two other tables of two. It took our waitress nearly 5 minutes to get to us. She took our order and only stopped one other time to see how everything was. As other couples arrived, they were obviously friends of the waitress and she stood and spoke with each table for several minutes. We try to ask another woman who was working there for something but she walked right past us. We were trying to get more bread but that never happened as no one ever returned to the table. We then asked for our check and it took another 10 minutes before the waitress brought the check over. Again, the place was not crowded. At this point there were five tables of two. If she had not taken so long talking personal business with each one of the tables, we may have gotten better service. I definitely don't recommend this place unless you're a friend of the owner or the waitress because if you're not service sucks.

I had a few slices of pizza from here once again. However, they did forget pepperoni on one of the…read morepizzas that was ordered. I had a few cheese slices as well as a sausage slice this time around. The cheese slice was very similar to my last time eating this (see previous review for similar thoughts). One trait I did notice was there was not lots of tomato sauce present or the cheese overpowered it because of the amount. The sausage slice was solid. There were a good amount of sausage rounds present, and they did not overpower the overall taste of the pizza.

I was talking pizza with a friend over the weekend and was told to give three brothers a try…read morebecause they make this amazing thin crust mama's Sicilian pie. Well I figured why not, we've tried most of the pizzerias in town. With 6 pizzerias within a stones throw from each other one has choices. The furthest from home is a 7 minute drive and the closest about 50 seconds. I have two that are my favorites because of the distinct pizzas they make. Well wouldn't you know it I just added a third. The mamas thin crust Sicilian is a show stopper. Not as filling as a regular Sicilian because of the thin crust. It's dough was crispy, and the sauce was just right not too watery or lumpy. Fresh basil and soft mozzarella cheese along with sausage slices made up the rest of this delicious creation. The tough choice is now what we're in the mood for, the eggplant pie at the one furthest away, the sausage/peppers and onions at the closest one or the thin crust Sicilian at 1-1/2 minutes out. It's good to have options.

Tonight, my mom and I ordered take out. The lady delivering had her back turned, practically walking away the second my mom opened the door.

I also ordered sausage, peppers, and onions, a dish I have had countless times. There were zero onions and the container was barely full, it was honestly sad.

No greeting or anything jsut abruptly asked "name" From a lady up front. proceeded to pay and saw how little of a portion I was given, so I walked back inside to make sure I was charged correctly. When walking in and making sure it was correct a gentleman (I'm pretty sure it was the owner Tony) in a standoffish tone that was the correct price and didn't say anything else. I've lived in the area my whole life and for a local spot I liked to go in recent times turn into this is a shame. sadly won't be going back again and I'm making sure I'm letting people know how poorly I was treated here today! by the way, Frank's in Oak Ridge has always treated me very nicely and has given me much better portions.

Everytime you make an order something is wrong.. you order blu cheese on side they give you marinara... you order "onion and garlic" pizza they gave us "sausage and onion" you order garlic knots they forget... then when they give you garlic knots and you ask for marinara they dont bring marinara. Send 2 orders of something when you ordered 1 and bill you. Multiple orders have come cold. There hasnt been one order that they havent fuc*** up on.. its sad because their food is GREAT! Which is only reason im giving 2 stars.. because service matters the most.. especially when you order delivery and tip driver extra because you feel bad that gas prices are through the roof..

When the hostess was seating us we asked not to be seated by the windows and she refused, and said she couldn't seat us anywhere else. The restaurant wasn't even 1/2 full. When we left the restaurant was still half empty. The pizza is just okay, the dough is chewy if that's what you like. We would've liked it with a little bit of a crisp. The Cacio e Pepe is pretty good, no complaints there. The waitresses are more interested in socializing behind the counter instead of waiting on their tables. Not worth the drive.
