First time dining here. Very disappointed. VERY slow service - although our waiter was quite pleasant. Iced tea literally tasted like water. Traded it for a beer. Pizza was large and tasty... but basically mediocre. Large and varied menu. Maybe something else would have been better. Seemed expensive for the quality.

The acts we saw were not comparable to Broadway or Vegas but they were darn good for a town like Naples. I was very impressed. I would definitely go back. It was a very enjoyable evening and the food was great. My only complaints might be that the service was a little slow, and that it was very hard to hear and talk to people at my own table overall was a great experience and I would go back.

If you are looking for a fun night out with good food and great service, I would definitely suggest Giuseppe and the lion. There is a lot of energy in this venue we loved the comedian and dancing.

We were seated outside as we requested. It actually took 15 min before a server acknowledged us. She took our drink order and gave us menus. It took 25 minutes to get two glasses of wine. In the meantime we were just sitting there waiting for our order to be taken. Finally my husband had to go and ask if they forgot about us. We finally got our wine and our order was taken. Food was not that great for what we paid. I don't mind paying for quality and a nice experience and this was neither. We miss the previous restaurant that was there prior to this one. Will not be back.

Our first time dining here. Many of the Noodles menu items with some new additions. Asian options remain on the menu. Loved the spaghetti and clams (huge portion). The homemade spinach fettucine with veggies was also very good. Prices are reasonable. Not a fan of the dining space but understand that entertainment is featured many evenings. We will return to sample other entrees.

This was a first visit. We were happily surprised. The prices for happy hour were extremely reasonable (drinks and food), and the regular prices were also not excessive. The menu was very comprehensive and the food was delicious. We ordered the calamari appetizer and several different pasta dishes including carbonara, arrabiatta, and primavera. They were all outstanding, as was the complimentary bread. The portions were extremely generous, and our whole party was able to take home leftovers for another meal. There appeared to be plenty of seating, indoors, and out, with all different styles of accommodations. We sat inside in a spacious booth-very comfortable. There was a background singer (Sinatra style) was not at all overwhelming or loud; definitely more appealing to an older crowd that night, but different types of entertainment are offered throughout the week. The service was very good, and all in all, it was a great experience. We will definitely be returning.

The food was great and our waiter was very good. The noise level was too high for any conversation. We enjoy your entertainment but for "dinner time" the volume of the music was too loud. Maybe the dinner set should be a little quieter.

Service by Gabriel was outstanding! My Branzino was delicious! My husband felt his pasta was overcooked but dish was otherwise good. Only complaint was music was very loud and it was hard to have a conversation.

Food and service were both fantastic. Yvonne was our waitress and was personal and professional. Highly recommend!! One minor complaint, the dj with music videos was too loud for an early evening Sunday. I could understand the volume if it was a Fri or Sat evening. We could not carry on a conversation between the 4 of us. The tables around us also had to speak loudly to converse with each other which just made the noise level worse. Simple solution, turn the music down a few notches so customers can enjoy their time together over a nice dinner.

We love this place, but our service this night was uncomfortable and we even went to the bar to get our own refills on drinks. Won't let this one service experience keep us from coming back, because the food and bar service is always excellent.
This was our first time dining here at Giuseppe's. Our waiter, whose nickname is spoons, was outstanding. He answered our questions, recommended things and was always checking on us. A friendly guy who, you could tell, Loves people and loves his job! The food was wonderful too. Great experience.

Our server was really great but they were under staffed for the amount of people there! I made a reservation for my dad's birthday dinner and was told u had to make an earlier reservation because they had a ticketed event later that evening so I changed the time from 6:39 to 5:30 , but when we arrived we were seated outside anyway! We could have kept our 6:39 reservation....
Food and service was excellence. I was disappointed because I always get the stuffed whole artichoke. Even checked the menu on line to make sure you still had it. It was on the menu. And when I ordered it I was told you haven't had them for awhile. I know you had them last year So why is it still on the menu?
I have been to restaurants all over the world and I have to say this was my WORST dining experience yet. I am a repeat customer to this restaurant but First time since the ownership change and I promise to never return. no one there would care anyway was the feeling I got while there. Right from the first step in, The host staff (including the owner) are incredibly rude if not overwhelmed.my party and I even overheard the hostess tell a seated customer that she “will be sure he never comes back again” after an exchange. Our table was given away before we arrived (ON TIME) and after a lot of confusion on the staffs part (leaving us standing in the middle of the restaurant) to figure it out, we were told to either sit outside or leave. That all of their other tables were booked. What made it worse was that there was No concern what so ever how we felt about it. We had been previously and the food was good so we decided to stay, unhappily. No apology was ever offered. Not one person we encountered there had any customer service skills what so ever. I Will never again go there and I will be sure to let as many people in SW Florida hear about our experience. What a disappointment!

Our first visit to this restaurant and it was crowded. The Neil Zirconia Show was on stage which was terrific! The food was perfect, and service was the same. The menu has a huge variety to choose from everything we ordered was delicious. We will be returning to this restaurant again soon.
