| - Went to Giuseppe's for the first time on Valentine's Day and maybe I have to give it another shot. I want to like it. No, I want to love it.
No problem with making a reservation, and holding the reservation. We had to wait a few minutes, but that's expected in a restaurant as small as this place.
I mentioned Giuseppe's is small. It's probably 16 tables in the whole place. I'd call that intimate. So intimate that I felt like I was part of the table behind me. The 4some was incredibly loud. Not boisterous, not out of control, just loud.
So forget all that and get on with the food, right? This easily could have been a 5 star if I wowed by the food. And you know what? That 3 stars are there for a reason. The seafood risotto, Risotto alla Bella Napoli, was undercooked, and quite frankly lacked a bunch of seafood. Maybe 2 shrimp? Light on mussels and clams. The calamari was chewy. The Gnocchi al Tegamino was better, with overall presentation lacking. Service was middle of the road, and the wine selection is limited.
So yikes. So much potential but so much to be desired.
