| - I really wanted this to be a 4+ star review... I even waited till my third time there to write something as most of my first annoyances could have been attributed to just opening.
Giuseppe's is well laid out and sells a wide variety of anything remotely Italian. It seems their bread and butter is the lunch, meal crowd.
I tried a couple of their pizza's and though it takes awhile for a business lunch, they were pretty good - though weak on the cheese (that may be my preference though :) )
Today though I went for a Panni for the second time and as with the first, it was horribly bungled.... I understand that a picky customer with lots of changes to a set menu is a pain in the butt - that being said, if you have Panni your way on the menu be prepared for it.
I waited 10 minutes for someone to acknoledge me at the counter - there was only one person in frount of me and two or three of my co-workers behind me.... for 10 minutes we watched complete unorganized chaos...
Suddenly someone wants to know what I want - I explain that I want the panni my way with just mortadella, tomato, bocachini, italian dressing and vegit spread. Explaining this took a long time (may I suggest paper requests...)
I get back to work and find I have the following - a panni with 1 slice of mortadella, no tomatoes, two chunks of bocachini, no dressing, vegi spread on basically 1/3 of the bun and multiple pieces of cappicola and salami... WTF - no one else was around when I ordered, how did this get screwed up...
Anyways - they have a long way to go before I try them again - I will continue my lunch Italian runs by driving up to Peppino's in Kensington - they haven't let me down yet...
