Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The Spaghetti Carbonara was a delightful treat to my taste buds, with authentic flavors that melted my fatigue away."
  • "The starters we're really good."
  • "The food and prices were excellent."
  • "Lovely food at this little Italian restaurant hidden away at London Bridge."
  • "Food is good enough, and reasonably priced."
  • "Absolutely amazing experience at Giuseppe’s last night, the food was lush."
  • "The food my group had was great. One of my friends is from Naples and even he thought it was incredible."

Cons:

  • "Food was okay, but not great. Overpriced menu."
  • "We were served beef lasagna when we clearly asked for veg."
  • "Food quality was terrible! Pizza was like a frozen pizza from Tesco."
  • "Ordered some olives to accompany the wine and they were a disgraceful. Hard and stuck like the flesh was glued to the stone."
  • "The food was really disappointing - the pasta was bland and the sauces insipid."
  • "Truly average food, overly salty, stale and reheated from frozen."
  • "Food was mediocre, to be honest. Veal cutlet needed to get crisped up more and the bolonegse pasta sauce tasted somewhat suspiciously close to that from a jar."

Service

Pros:

  • "From the moment we have walked in we were treated like family."
  • "Great service and the owner was so friendly and welcoming."
  • "AMAZING! My friend and I only had 20 minutes to get dinner from Guiseppe's, and the staff truly rose to the challenge."
  • "Even as they were winding down for the evening, the considerate waitstaff welcomed me with open arms."
  • "Great service from the staff in particular from Massimo that also offered us a couple of shots of limoncello."
  • "The staff are attentive and the food is delicious."
  • "The staff couldn't of been more friendly and accommodating."

Cons:

  • "Atmosphere was poor. Staff were not engaging and did not interact with customers unless you were regulars."
  • "We left a lower than suggested tip for the awful service and got called back by the waitress who demanded to know why we had left a low tip."
  • "Snooty staff who looked down their nose at me the moment I walked in."
  • "The service and attitude of the staff was abysmal, and completely unnecessary."
  • "Inattentive, hurried staff, never asked if we'd like more drinks."
  • "The service was slow and could have been much better."
  • "We had to ask for our order to be taken twice and our waitress eventually did so (after 20 minutes of waiting) without a hint of a smile."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "If you are looking for an authentic, fun Italian eating experience, I highly recommend Guiseppes."
