10/10, I’m from Pittsburgh Pa, and travel all over the US for work. This is my absolute favorite restaurant, hands down. It doesn’t get any better than this place. Excellent food every time. I make sure to visit every time I’m in town.
12/17/24 good Italian food and service. Massive portions. I had the clam chowder and linguine with clams .
Restaurant was full, we were put on the list and 40 minutes later we had a seat. Service was excellent, we were continuously given water, also bread with a sauce (we did not have to pay extra for this)
Food was good too, Carbonara.
Cozy restaurant!
Parking is free after 6pm

Giuseppe's Cucina Italiana is a well-loved Italian restaurant in Pismo Beach known for its delicious food and warm atmosphere. The menu features favorites like spaghetti and meatballs, linguine and clams, and crème brûlée. The food is praised for its fresh, al dente pasta, and the bread served with garlic-infused dipping sauce is highly appreciated. Guests often recommend the mushroom appetizer, tortellini Giuseppe, zucchini flower appetizer, and Nona's spaghetti and meatballs. The restaurant's ambiance is charming, and the service is friendly and attentive, even during busy weekends. The Pismo Beach location is spacious and inviting, with multiple dining areas and a glowing pizza oven. Visitors enjoy sharing pizzas like the Margherita with prosciutto and the Bee Sting. The staff often go above and beyond, sometimes surprising guests with desserts like lemon cheesecake or strawberry tiramisu to celebrate special occasions. The new location has a lot of improvements, with Italian specialty grocery items in a better spot and wonderful deli items. Many places make this a very appealing choice for many different moments. They offer slices of the best pizza around. The Godiva martini is killer, and there is a great wine selection. Fresh pasta and everything is made in house, even their sauce. The food is amazingly delicious, with the meatball appetizer with sauce being the best thing. The food is consistently good between the two locations, but there is a bit more elegance at the Pismo location, which is also less frenetic and loud. The wait staff and ancillary staff are consistently trained and make for an added wonderful facet of the dining experience.
