We are new to the high desert, and are so happy to have found a good Italian restaurant up here…read more First thing that came to the table was bread and a balsamic vinegar/oil dip. Yum. My husband ordered the Smoke House Pasta and said he would choose that dish as his last meal! I ordered the Bruschetta Pizza. It was good but needed something. I also got the Antipasto Fantastico Salad... nice fresh crunchy lettuce is a plus (it was not the bagged lettuce)... just wished they chopped up the deli meats/cheese into smaller pieces. And we ended our date with the chocolate cannoli for desert. Highly recommend you order one of those! We will definitely be going back there and taking family & friends who come up to visit us. The staff were really nice and the place felt homey. Worth the wait time.

Mama Carpino's did not come to play. Ordered to-go but the flavors traveled like they had a…read morepersonal driver. The pizza? Straight-up New York attitude with California glow. Light crunch. Golden crust. Cheese was balanced and not greasy. You could tell this wasn't made in a rush. It was made with pride. The Penne alla Vodka came in like a headliner. Sauce was creamy with just enough kick. Pasta had bite without being too firm. Easily one of the best takes on this dish I've had in the area. Italian Jalapeño Poppers threw me off in the best way. Spicy. Cheesy. Crunchy. Felt like Tony Soprano and a Tapatío bottle had a baby. Chicken Parm came through like a hero meal. Breaded right. Thick but juicy. Sauce and cheese ratio was tight. No sogginess. Just layered flavor. Packed up well and still tasted fresh after the drive home. That says a lot. Spot was packed when I walked in. Staff seemed busy but still managed to be polite. A couple looked slightly stressed but not rude. Just overwhelmed. Still got the order out timely. The place was clean. Floor was swept. Tables reset fast. And the bathroom? Clean enough for me to trust it with white sneakers on. It's giving... Scorsese would shoot here just for the garlic bread close-up.

Tonight we celebrated our Son's 56th birthday and 4 of us celebrated Mother's Day. 14 of us. Wow! It seemed like every staff member worked so hard to give us the best service. Great team work! We had exquisite food and everyone had something different. We tip our hats to the chef. Your toasted bread perfection (the best), the salads, the dinners the desserts and drinks were wonderful. We highly recommend this family owned restaurant to everyone. The best atmosphere and more. I wish I'd taken some pictures. Well I guess we will have to back. We will share pictures soon. We all agreed this was a wonderful night. Thank you The Ciachouse.com

Came here for a weekday dinner. I hadn't been here in years but it really hasn't changed much. When…read moreI mentioned it was dark, the waiter was kind enough to bring a small lamp for the table which made the night much easier. The kids had a hard time with the menu because it shows the names in Italian, but the description is in English and easy to understand. The food is still good, the ambiance nice for a date night where you might want privacy, and the staff was pleasant and attentive. I was also pleased that the waiter was able to suggest a wine like they do in fancy movies. I love wine but always forget the names of the ones I like most. We will definitely be coming back here again.

I love the asparagus soup, it really takes me back to childhood, it's so good and comforting. Every time I've been there Francisco has been my server, he is kind and I never feel rushed, he always gives us a great experience. I've tried several dishes but some of my favorites are the fettuccine Alfredo, manicotti, and cheese ravioli with a cream sauce. Tonight I had a dirty martini and it was on point, very good. Always a wonderful dining experience here.

I've had several menu items and they've all been very good. Asparagus soup is a good starter. Eggplant Parmesan is good, but I would like it a little more crispy. Others have ordered the Penne Alla Vodka (ordered al dente, and it was perfectly al dente). Cannelloni Grattanati is a flavorful, attractive dish. I've had the chicken with spinach & cream sauce and Chicken Cacciatore - both were good. I would order either again. The Lasagna Forne was very flavorful, but too salty for me. That's just the way Lasagna is no matter where you have it. This is a delightful local place for lunch or dinner!

The reviews were good but I was uncertain. It is a small place but omg so worth the time and money. The woman who helped us was so friendly and fast and helpful. The food was fresh and so good. We got the garlic knots with marinara sauce and that was so yummy, then we got the white pizza and added chicken and jalapeños and wow, it was better than expected. Also we got a small margherita pizza to try and it was perfection. Fresh flavorful tomatoes and basil and the dough was fresh and tasty. Oh and how could I forget the Sicilian fries. I could've eaten them all if I didn't know other things were on the way. We will definitely be back.

I have heard of Giuseppe's Pizza & Italian Restaurant in the past. My first time eating at a…read moreGiuseppe's was at Pismo Beach. I don't know if they are related like a family chain. Anyway, this location is at Jess Ranch Marketplace in Apple Valley. I walked in with the intention to pick up one Hawaiian pizza. Good inside seating and limited outside seating. The outside looked like it hasn't been attended to for a very long time. Tables and chairs looked old. The ground was not swept. Just not the best appeal looking from the outside or inside. Anyway, the nice young man behind the counter greeted me right away. They weren't too busy at the time with just a handful of tables occupied. As I got closer to the counter, another staff member assisted me. She wasn't the most smiley and that's okay. Maybe she wasn't having her best day. I ended up ordering a medium half Hawaiian and half Margherita pizza. Pizza looked amazing! Crust was lightly burnt and bread was soft. Unfortunately, the taste of the pizza totally missed the mark. Pizza sauce was just plain old tomato sauce. No seasoning whatsoever. If that's their signature sauce, then it's not my kind of pie. Hence, 3 stars!

Gave this establishment a chance, considering it's only rated a 3.2. Here are some things I…read morenoticed.. 1) the building is under construction which is fine, but I noticed that the table we were sat at and all of the surrounding tables were filthy. There was food all over the floors, tables had stains and stuck food that looked like it had been there all day. The menus were greasy and sticky. We were sat close to the bathrooms and could smell EVERYTHING. A smell that didn't just build up in an hour so I can only assume that both the restaurant and bathrooms are not being properly cleaned and maintained. 2) The 2 cooks in the kitchen male and female need to be retrained on basic hygiene standards. I observed the woman on her phone for the entirety of our stay (little over an hour). Texting/watching videos and laughing and then putting it away and touching all of the food without gloves. Then, right back on her phone. I watched her also playing with her hair that was fortunately tied back and then continuing to touch the food with no gloves on. I observed the man on the other side of the kitchen sweating so profusely you would think it was the middle of a 110 degree summer. He was wiping sweat off his forehead, his neck, his nose and then continuing to touch all of the food without gloves. Laughing and talking so much I could see the saliva shooting out from his mouth. So unsanitary. You don't teach your staff basic sanitation??? I spoke to our server about it and she just said "yeah I know". Then I spoke to a manager on our way out and let her know what I had witnessed and she said "oh really?" And then let us know that she has mentioned it to the General Manager, but he refuses to hold anyone accountable. I asked to speak to the gm directly, but he wasn't available. Hopefully this reaches someone who cares about the cleanliness and safety of their customers who are paying to consume this food. I was given the number to another Johnny Carino's location in hopes of speaking to someone "higher up". Please hold your staff accountable..
