Giuseppe’s Restaurant

I can’t believe I’ve never eaten here. What a gem in the desert. I’ve lived here for so many years and have not ran into a place I felt comparable to authentic culture and food. Loved the food! Egg plant, spaghetti and fresh donuts!!! Love donuts ate 5 of them!!! Don’t go to the fake one in Jess ranch plaza. Same name different owner who took this original restaurant’s recipes. So fake. To prove a point ask if they’re related? How sad wow! But what’s even better is the this original restaurant and the staff that run it. I couldn’t have been happier with my experience!

Dude. Bomb pasta and bomb pizza. Took my whole family and really enjoyed the food. Quantity is good too. We got a pepperoni pizza, pasta bowl, salad and garlic bread.

This restaurant is very overpriced and not worth it. The service isn’t good and they need to clean and update this restaurant. The menus are made of flimsy plastic paper and they had plastic dollar store plates at our table. The pizza was pretty good but not worth the price we paid. It’s a small run down restaurant that needs some remodeling and fixing up.

Used to love this place but it took us forever to get our order taken and had to ask for silverware because we just got our salad and plates. Only about 14 other people here besides us and it’s not too busy. We have been waiting over 35+ minutes to get our spaghetti. Glad we weren’t starving and asked for salad first or we would have. Maybe it was just a bad night but it was disappointing to us. We just paid for the salad and left.

We’ve been going here for years sadly won’t be going back. They changed suppliers which in turn completely changed the dishes quality

Absolutely horrible food. Not fresh. Ravioli was pre frozen. Sauce is cold. Service is terrible. For the price might as well gone to olive garden. Will never come here again

Every time I have been here or ordered from here I have been more than pleased with their service and attitude. Not to mention that the food is also great, the pizzas are simply delicious and very reasonably priced. The entire menu is very reasonably priced to be honest and the portions are hearty. The staff is always also so generous and accommodating. This is the perfect casual Italian restaurant for any day of the week, just don’t forget to order the Italian doughnuts for desert.

Where to begin? Evidently the reviewers who gave good reviews have never had real authentic good Italian food or things have drastically changed since then. We ordered for pickup and were told 15 minutes, got there in 20 minutes and were told our order would be ready in 20 minutes… Yea. Got home and they forgot our calamari. Called a couple times until somebody answered, they offered a free order of calamari on top of the order we already purchased. Yay, our appetizer doubled up for the end of our meal. We ordered chicken Parmesan dinners and seafood Abby with salad and garlic bread. Also got tiramisu for desert. The chicken parm was soggy and the noodles were clearly precooked and reheated. Even the teenagers said «it tastes like a lean cuisine». The salad has more cheese on it than lettuce. The calamari is definitely store bought rings and fried in house. The tiramisu is also bought and not made, it’s sliced pie shaped as well, not square. The seafood Abby was edible. Also, the pasta sauce tastes like greasy sloppy joe.
This is our 3^rd and last time eating here. The first time was months ago late at night and we ate in. The food wasn’t horrible like today but still just par for Italian. a few weeks ago we ordered pizza and it was ok, really really greasy but good flavor.
If you want excellent Italian food in the high desert than make the drive to Mama Carpinos (I think that’s how you spell it) in Apple Valley. Ate there last week for the first time and they know exactly how to make Italian food and treat you like a highly valued customer. They have a wait time because they are popular but they told us 40 minutes and we were seated in 25. For exactly the same prices it’s a much higher class and quality of food.

Love this place, come here with the family as much as I can. Any excuse to come get wings, salad, and pizza!!! Just tried their Italian doughnuts for the first time. Yum!!! Make room if you can. Great staff and owners. Friendly and helpful.

I was told there was a 10 mintue wait time. So I was like cool, but little did I know, those 10 minutes would end up being half an hour… gave em my shoulder, and was seated immediately at outback steakhouse

My first time at this restaurant this past Saturday was an enjoyable experience. Our waiter was nothing but a pleasure. The food was delicious and priced fairly. I had a medium sized pizza to myself and I love how the cheese was full of flavor. Definitely will be coming again. Wine selection was a plus.

Giuseppe’s is a nice place to come to when looking for a casual, no frills kind of restaurant. The antipasto or plain dinner salad with Italian dressing is excellent. The marinara sauce is fantastic!!! Definitely a place to visit here in Victorville.

This place taste so good!!! My family enjoys it very much. Such a great place to eat dinner

Went here instead of the Victorville restaurant because we heard the bar was great for football games. Loved everything! Drinks were good, pizza was great (just like the Victorville restaurant), waitress was friendly and fun! Lots of people all friendly and we all had a good time. Will definitely go back. BTW, great location with lots of other choices if the bar if full. Not to take away from Giuseppe’s but just in case.

Been here twice, Pizza was Good, salad was Great, had pitcher of Beer too. Very nice people, service was great. Very clean, they have A on window. We were only people there when we got there, they had just opened. Guy was scrubbing & disinfecting chairs & tables, every nook & cranny. He did not bother us or come close to our table. I was impressed, I like clean. Kind of a Sports bar atmosphere with TV’s but Not too loud.
Pizza was about average, sauce needs more Oregano, garlic etc. but good. We will be back.

Came in, got seated in a decent amount of time. Ordered a pizza and a salad. Got our drinks and salad… everything seemed to be going okay. Twenty minutes pass since we received our salad and out waiter is nowhere to be found. Hasn’t even been to our table to take our plates, ask about our drinks, or bring us our pizza.
Finally, after 30 minutes of waiting, we approach the waitress at the cash register to ask for our pizza to go since our waiter is nowhere to be found. For some reason the waiter put our pizza as to go when we ordered so it has been sitting in the back for god knows how long in a box, despite us clearly wanting to eat in.
A minute later, guess who walks through the front door with his keys in his hand? Our waiter. He decided to jot down our pizza as to go and left for a break without even having another waiter or waitress take our table. It wasn’t even busy!
Pizza wasn’t even worth the wait – the crust was burnt. Will not return.

I always come to Giuseppe’s for the pizza because it’s so delicious!
I came here for dinner yesterday and decided to have the chicken Parmesan, it was ok, the chicken has a lot of flavor but the pasta and sauce was mediocre.
My kids had the pizza and loved it!
I’ll always come for the pizza but I’m not sure about the other dishes we will see!

Okay, so I have read a few reviews about snotty cashiers, but hubby and I decided to give it a try anyway. We stopped in to check out the menu before our movie started, and written on the board in big letters was «Like us on Facebook and check out our specials». So I asked the cashier, what is the special today? She looked at me as if I had asked her how to do brain surgery. I pointed to the sign, and she replied very tartly, I might add, «we don’t have specials, or if we do, I sure don’t know about them.» And then walked in between my husband and I and the counter, which was a very tight space, rather than walking around us, where there was wide open space, and no… She did not say excuse me either. Hubby and I looked at each other with eyebrows raised, and walked out.
After the movie, We decided to try the pizza anyway, so that I could review more than just this one snotty cashier. We got the large Giuseppe special for $ 21.00 which was nothing special at all. The cashier wasn’t as snotty this time, but she sure wasn’t friendly either. The pizza was expensive and mediocre at best. I’ve had better pizza for $ 7.00 at Gridiron… without the attitude.

I can’t express how bad the food is here. I tried it about a year ago and remembered that I wasn’t fond of them but I decided to try again since I still haven’t found good pasta in the high desert aside from olive garden (only because of familiarity tho)
We phone ordered for pick and were told 20 min. So my boyfriend went to pick up. It took them 58 mins from the time we called to have it ready. And $ 43 later no napkins or forks in the bag. Turnoff… shows they don’t care about customers I feel.
Linguine and Clams in white sauce — pasta was overcooked and bland. The garlicky taste was actually good but not enough to excuse the mushy linguine. They give a good portion of Clams also.
Spaghetti and meatballs– again OVERCOOKED pasta! Meatballs were the frozen kind. Also, the sauce was way too sweet. Nothing good about this plate. Very disappointed to say the least.
Chicken Alfredo– pasta was cooked fine however there was some kind of weird propane/​gas taste to it. At first my boyfriend said that it tasted burnt, but there wasn’t anything visibly wrong. It just had a strong weird taste/​smell… it was also salty.
Mozzarella bread– addicting and delicious. Very cheesy I loved it.
I’m actually not a picky person at all. My boyfriend and I are big «foodies». This place just flat out doesn’t care about the quality of their food and it’s evident in the taste and preparation.

We came here based on previous reviews. I really wished we wouldn’t have.
EVERYTHING here tastes store-​bought. I SWEAR their fettuccine Alfredo tastes like the Lean Cuisine microwaveable (the sauce is definitely not homemade), their pizza is far too uniform to have been made by hand and also burnt, and their salad was nothing like described in their menu and missing ingredients. I wished we would have been more patient and waited at the Olive Garden down the street. We will never be back.
