With perfect dining experiences, as mentioned in the reviews, it's a place where you can enjoy a drink, homemade bread, and olive oil before your meal. The food is consistently praised for being well-proportioned and fresh. The staff is commended for exceptional service, making you feel welcome. The ambiance is described as cozy and warm, and the restaurant even offers a lemoncello drink at the end of the meal. It's a great place for social gatherings and even romantic dates, as one reviewer mentioned the rose napkins on Valentine's Day. Definitely worth the drive!

    I went there for lunch on a Saturday. The place was mostly empty, the reservations were not required. I had the New England clam chowder and it was one of the best i ever had. I also had a salad with shrimp. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not overcooked like many places. My dining companion had the chicken tenders with fries. She is not much of a seafood eater. She said the chicken lacked seasoning and the fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. My companion has fast food restaurant experience from her teenage years. I would go back to try the big seafood boils they offer. A table nearby to ours ordered a boil and it smelled amazing.

    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.

    Our first time and not disappointed. The food was like my mom’s. Delicious. Our server was accommodating to our needs and advised to try their carrot cake. It melted in our mouth. Will come again and bring friends. The only disappointment was I couldn’t get up and dance!
