Giuseppe's - Meredith

We should have ordered the pizza. The zucchini apps were heavy breaded. I did like the flavor. Ceasar salad was bland. The chicken piccada was not good. It tasted like chicken soup broth with capers. The pizza looked really good, wish we had ordered that.

It was the Fourth of July and a very busy time but the service was perfect. The food was hot and delicious!

I gave Giuseppe's 4 stars instead of 5 for one reason only: based on difficulty getting in to dinner via phone or Open Table reservations. It is sad to see that limited hours have been put in place at our favorite Meredith restaurant making it very difficult to get seating. I understand that most restaurants are experiencing staff shortages, but at a busy week like Fourth of July it was next to impossible to get seating. We were there for 8 days (Thurs to the following Fri) and we didn't get seating until Wednesday at 4:30. All other times were not available. We could have taken our chances and gone in to put our name in for a table of 4, but there were so many people waiting in line, we knew it would be at least a hour and a half wait or more. I hope that when I return to the area in the Fall, we won't have such a hard time.

I have come to this restaurant for about 20 years, maybe longer and am grateful for the one vegan option, but vegans can celebrate now because they have added vegan cheese as option for their pizza! I also verified that the pizza sauce is also vegan. my personal advice is to ask for a ‘light’ quantity of cheese — they are quite difficult with it

Have a vegan option on the menu earnest vegan. can make other options vegan if they are cheese, etc. pizza, pasta, etc. pasta is available in full wheat or gluten-free penne. the restaurant made a mistake with my order and gave it to the wrong customer, so my meal was delayed. but not long. they have put together my meal proaktiw. I didn't complain. excellent customer service.
