The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, making it the perfect spot for a quick, satisfying meal. Highly recommend“

“This place is our favorite in the area. It is, from my experience, the best value around. We have easily fed a group of 5 (3 adults; 2 kids), including dessert, and kept it within a VERY reasonable price range, all while getting some yummy food!“

“Came here for my one year anniversary with my girlfriend. Had a wonderful experience, with plenty of excellent dishes, including the bacon wrapped scallops, crab rangoon, stir fry with beef tips, and a good Delmonico steak. All courses were good, though my girlfriend did think the French Onion soup was a little on the weaker side. Dinner was rounded off with some excellent dessert, a cheesecake slice with caramel sauce, and peanut butter pie. Highly recommend, the restaurant has an intimate ambiance with small seating area. Parking is on the street only, and with limited seating a reservation is recommended on the weekend.Kid-friendliness: Draw on paper table coverings.“

“High quality Italian/ American cuisine including homemade pasta and delicious seafood. Only drawback is prices are steep, but generally worth it. Memorabilia from the past on the walls gives you plenty to keep your eyes entertainedunlisted sports heroes and actors!“

“Excellent food and service, nice rustic, yet CLEAN place. We were a bit wary at first because the outside looked sort of run down. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the interior. We got the fish fry, which came with a very generous portion of haddock and I opted for the side of Mac and cheese, which was homemade and absolutely delicious! The two meals came with a roll and side of coleslaw as well. The haddock was fried nice and crisp, with a thin layer of breading. The bill only came to $25 and change! We will only be in town for work for the next few weeks, bit we will DEFINITELY visit this establishment again!“

“Place was very busy . But to be expected on a Saturday night ! The servers ran around non stop and still catered to our needs . It was a longer wait then we would have liked but the delicious food made up for it ! Would recommend checking this place out!Parking: Hard to find a spot on the weekend !“

“The entire staff was fantastic and extremely welcoming. We had come from a long journey on the road and we arrived late the night before Easter. They easily could have pushed us aside but they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Our server Natasha was wonderful and the manager Doug was very sweet.Vegetarian options: They said they would swap spinach in the salad any time“

“Good food and friendly staff. Some of our orders were mixed up, but they quickly fixed it for us. Prices are competitive and worth it. Chairs we had at our table had the centers fallen, so I left with a sore back. Otherwise an excellent place for dinner or late lunch.“

“First time at this ristorante, the food was very good. Had crab Rangoon appetizers , waitress right on point with drinks and greeting us warmly. Reviewed specials for the evening and covered all the details. The only thing was the Cioppino was a bit more like Fra Diablo as opposed to more brothy Cioppino. It was very tasty and had a nice bite to it. The veal Marsala was very good , veal saltimbocca was also good as was shrimp scampi .. this is an excellent choice . The atmosphere was rich and warm..“

“The food at Guiseppi’s is always fresh and delicious. I have to admit that the bread loaves and rolls they were making prior to them changing management was far superior to the rolls they are currently using. I’m sure they are probably utilizing the old Light’s Bakery they now own, but the rolls for subs and especially the cheesesteaks are as delicious as the other homemade rolls and breads they previously made. I realize everyone has had to cut costs; but quality shouldn’t suffer and in this case it has. Their sauces, pizza’s and pasta dishes are excellent. Prices have gone up, but considering the cost of food that’s understandable. The remodel looks great and we visit their establishment regularly. I’m sure we are not the only ones that miss their larger dinner loaves and sub rolls. Still, one of the best Italian-American restaurants in our area.“
