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."
