Reviews for Giuseppe's Italian Ristorante in Rosemount, MN

What a surprise! This small but cozy Italian restaurant knocked our socks off in food and service. The food is true italian food... with generous portions at reasonable costs. If you are a fan of Olive Garden, be prepared for a genuine experience at a lowercost! The service is formal and the atmosphere oozes Italian. Read more

Smelt like my grandma's kitchen on Christmas when she's making lasagna. Food is a 10/5, atmosphere is just as good. Had to wait... for my take out since it was a little busy, but well worth the wait. Easily 10 times better than anything at this price point.Highly recommend ???? Read more

It?s sad I have to score this as I did. The food here was impeccable, and that?s all that saved it! We had reservations, we... arrived and immediately were taken to our table, that was still dirty. We stood by it for 15 minutes before someone washed it!Then we waited for 20 more minutes before one of our group, went and dug behind the podium for menus.. we finally flaggedsomeone down to order, when the food came out, it came out one plate every 5-10 minutes. We were never given refills, and eventhough we wanted dessert we didn?t get offered it. There seemed. To be two wait staff that were also cooking. We decided we willtry once more to see if it was a fluke. If not, no food was worth that. Read more

This was my first time at this restaurant. The pictures of food online looked amazing and the party I was with (5 people total)... were all very excited to try this new restaurant. We got everything pretty quick, the food looked amazing! And the dishes werevery tasty. The waiter was nice and joked around with us. But then my third bite into my pasta, I found a long hair in themiddle of my pasta. I was turned off right away, but figured I would just ask for a replacement. But that isn?t why this reviewis a 1 star. The waiter turned on a dime when we told him about the hair. The absolute rudeness of the waiter was outrageous. Iwas told that no one in the kitchen staff has long hair and that it was probably one of mine. He Wanted to bring out the entirestaff to prove this to me, made me feel like a liar when I didn?t do anything wrong. I then asked for a replacement dish, Iwanted the same dish I had because I did enjoy it. He brought my new plate of food with such a bad attitude, I was dumbfounded.The moment he brought my new plate of food, he asked if we would need boxes. The other people in my party didn?t even have halfof their food gone and he is trying to get us out of there as quick as he could. He brought the boxes and the receipts, didn?task anything about desserts, which one person in my party was excited to try. My husband paid in cash and asked for cash back.When he did, the waiter explained (more like complained) to my husband that he didn?t give him an 18% tip? when we hadn?t had achance to tip him yet. My husband was confused but forgot he wanted to try the cannolis, so he order those as well. My husbandgave him a $10, and he didn?t get change back, which I thought they were $4 each (plus tax of course) according to themenu? Overall, I am very dissatisfied with the attitude of the waiter. The food is good, service is terrible. Read more

This is the kind of restaurant where the food shows up and you don't even think to take a moment to take a picture of it before... eating. The dishes are all that great. Wonderful atmosphere, great menu, cannolis that are absolutely delicious. Get a bottle ofwine, some delicious homemade bread with some crazy seasoning in it that will make you smile. Get an entre for everyone thereand enjoy you are in for a treat. Yes. The place is still absolutely amazing, inflation has not yet hit the menu yet. Portionsare still enough for dinner and lunch the next day. The quality is beyond anything else in the south metro. Read more

I really love the cuteness of the ambiance. They have done a great job making you feel as though your in little Italy. It is... cramped and I was able to hear every conversation at each table. I was sat at a table right under a speaker the played reallyloud music. That made it louder. The chairs are low and quite uncomfortable. I enjoyed the food. Bread and dipping oil wasdelicious. I would say I'd be more opt to do take out than dine in. Read more

We went here earlier this summer. It reminded me of dinning out at restaurants we visited while we were in Italy on our... honeymoon. It's a fairly small restaurant in a strip mall and, at the time we visited, they had what seemed like two peopleworking, but that did not impact service at all. Orders were taken promptly, we got our food quickly and everything wasdelicious. Would highly recommend as a small intimate dining experience. Will definitely be back. Read more

"Considerate" That's the first word that comes to mind when thinking of Giuseppe's. As the owner will often greet you at the... door, he and his serving staff are always watching to ensure you enjoy every aspect of your dining experience. The attention todetail and outstanding service demands a much higher price than the menu charges. Ravioli Callabrese Spicy Italian sausage atits best, coupled with a truly superior hand pressed beef ravioli and a fresh marinara to die for. I couldn't believe thetexture of the sausage. Not fatty, not stringy, not from a poorly raised animal. Giuseppe's doesn't cut any corners in regard totheir food. Despite having a tendency to control my portions, I wolfed down the entire plate without hesitancy and still feltgreat afterwards. Tortellini Alla Romana Giuseppe's has a knack for making every dish deeply savory, even when it's asupposedly simple cream sauce everyone else tends to make bland. Here we could have used a bit more prosciutto, however thatdidn't detract from the deliciousness of each bite. The perfectly cheesy portions in each tortellini coupled well with freshpeas. House Sangria I'm not much for alcohols, but wow! This was utterly delicious. Giuseppe's makes all of their own sangriaand lemoncello and you can taste the difference. Fresh fruity flavors perfectly mingled with the right proportions of wine. Notonly a perfect pairing with many of their dishes, an outstanding price you can take home with you. Word is the lemoncello is amind-blowing experience, however I did not partake this time. Cannoli I've spent a fair amount of time in New York and triedmore than my fair share of cannolis. I had no idea one from Minnesota could blow the rest out of the water. I was prepared tocriticize this and immediately asked the owner when they were made. He looked at me as if I were crazy and said this morning ofcourse. Out comes a perfectly portioned pastry and I eagerly dug in. Dusted with pistachios, the creamy filling Read more
