Giuseppe's Ristorante's and Pizzeria

"Another first time try, and what a hit. This is a fantastic Italian restaurant, a must try. We had a lovely lunch and can't wait to come back for dinner with friends. This will be on our repeat list for sure."

"The pizza, especially the dough, is about the closest thing I've tasted in the US that compares to pizza in Italy. The texture and chewiness are amazing. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The size of the pizzas is akin to what you get in Italy as well, around a 12" pizza size. So, on the smaller side from what most Americans are used to but feels more satisfying after eating it than normal American pizza. It is hands-down worth it if you like top-notch, authentic pizza."

"I stopped here on a drive between Tampa and Punta Gorda. The service was great and the food was excellent. The garlic knots were great and the wood oven roasted wings were crispy. I had a calzone that was filled with ample amounts of cheese and toppings, but most of all was tasty. Others had the eggplant boat, lobster ravioli, and lasagna. Everyone was happy with their food."

"Although I’m hesitant to admit the diamond we found today because it will draw all of the snow birds in ….. I can’t help but praise this place! Food was phenomenal met the owner Giuseppe. So nice, he is not trying to re invent the wheel but bring classic clean flavors back from Italy! I cannot recommend this place enough. It was so delicious! Try the spicy wings for a very different delicious taste. Here’s some photos from the scenes of a great Italian restaurant."

"The place is very cute, nice environment. Friendly staff. Gorgonzola and pear pizza was good. Pasta sauce flavors were very good, but pasta was overcooked."
