Giuseppe Ristorante Italiano

A must-try for authentic Italian if you’re tired of the same old, predictable “Jersey Italian” spots. We walked in and were immediately taken care of — service was attentive without being overbearing. The chef/owner personally took our order, made excellent recommendations, and genuinely made us feel at home. The food was outstanding. We started with the baby artichokes and tuna crudo, both excellent. My wife had the seafood pasta with shaved bottarga, which was a real standout. I had the veal chop — perfectly executed. Everything was impeccable from start to finish. A fantastic option in an area that could really use more restaurants like this.

Ordered catering from here for the first time for my team. It far surpassed expectations. We ordered a salad, chicken Milanese salad, grilled mixed veggies, and pasta vodka sauce. It was all high quality; the food was delicious. They even included higher end plate ware and silverware. 10/10 recommend for parties and corporate lunches.

First Time, Last Time. The server and the food were excellent—no complaints there at all. Unfortunately, the experience was completely overshadowed by the extremely rude behavior of the manager. I understand the pressure that comes with running a restaurant, but customer service should always be the priority. The staff looks to management for leadership, and based on this experience, that leadership is clearly lacking. When you go out to eat, you expect the full experience, not just good food. The manager, Jackie, ruined what should have been an enjoyable evening. That was especially disappointing because I actually went out of my way to compliment the chef, who truly deserved it. A great team deserves a great leader—sadly, that was not the case here.

Nasty people. I brought my grandmother in for dinner and they treated us very badly. They are extremely rude. Food was OK but I like pizza place in same strip mall much better and 1/4 the price. Pizza place actually had better service. Pasta is much better at the pizza place. I am sorry but I can’t endorse this place nor will I go back ever. I think the place would be better off without the heavy set woman who is vulgar and verbally violent with some customers. It’s sad. I don’t like to leave bad reviews for small businesses but this restaurant is just mediocre food, and horrendous and nasty service people.

My daughter and grandson came to visit, they wanted Italian. We found the place to be very nice, great attentive wait staff. I had the Lasagna, my grandson the Wahu Burger and my daughter had the Tagliatelle Cacio E Pepe. The meals were excellent and very "healthy" drinks.
