For 10 years we've been going to Pismo and eating and Giuseppe's - NO MORE!! Ordered take out, girl on phone was flirting with her co-worker's and didn't take order right. Food came cold and got what we didn't order. I Called and was told Manager was busy with other customers and I had to wait. Was hung up on twice while waiting to talk to manager! Left voice message on General Managers voice mail for horrible service and horrible cold food and never got a returned call. Obviously, never going back since "they don't care about their customers". Plus never got an apology either. Lost $80 because food was unedible. Return On Investment = Bad Deal. If I could I would rate the restaurant in -10 (experience was that bad).

Went to a party held in their banquet room. The food was wonderful, everything was perfect. Highly recommended for a special occasion or just a nice meal.

We were about to forego the 45-minute wait for a table until a German lady told us that she had eaten there, and the food was well worth the wait. She was right. We had two excellent salads to start, one the Michelli and the other with a poached pear, gorgonzola and walnuts. Then, we had the pasta arrabiata with shrimp -- nine large, properly cooked, with spicey ragu in the true arrabiata tradition. We also had a homemade pasta amatriciana, with pancetta, onions, and what not in a spicey ragu. We ended the meal with Giusepe's signature Marscapone ricotta cheesecake in an almond pistachio crust. All in all, the restaurant was as good as some of the top-rated L.A. Italian restaurants we've frequented. Expect to spend about $25 - $35 per person, before wine and drinks. Two thumbs up, way up!

I have taken three groups here for dinner. I have spent $2500 here for three meals. People remember the food and service.

We always get the private room in the back. EXCELLENT food, service, and everything else.

Park in the bank parking lot next door. Order the specials offered by the wait staff. Drink wine.

Go and enjoy it.
