    Dinner was AMAZING! Everything was perfect. And the staff was warm and caring. No one berated us for being late due to unexpected weather and traffic issues. We did not feel rushed but staff knew we had theatre tix and yet we were comfortable and relaxed. Just a lovely experience. Worth every penny!

    Wonderful restaurant - great food and top notch service. Only concern was the super different wine ordering process/policy. The wine menu is only online via a QR code AND if you only want a single glass of wine, you literally have to filter through, ask, have them go check (assuming to see if you have a bottle or have a bottle open) . . . if that answer is no, you have to repeat the whole process. For a restaurant of this caliber, I would absolutely expect a more customer friendly process.

    Really enjoyed my birthday dinner at this wonderful restaurant. Ambiance was dark and intimate, food was delicious but the best was how friendly and attentive the staff was! We fully enjoyed the wine pairing and our wine guide was incredibly knowledgeable and absolutely made the experience memorable. Food was outstanding but it is the service that will make us go back!

    I recently dined at Casa Giuseppe, and every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. The ambience was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing evening. On top of that, the service was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, with staff who made you feel truly welcomed. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking delicious Italian cuisine in a lovely setting.
