The food was great and the staff very friendly. The restaurant had a nice modern look and very clean.

Our Family was looking forward to Italian food. My wife ordered lasagna, my son ordered chicken Alfredo and I ordered a meatball Panini. The meatball Panini came out after about a 40 minute wait... (It was cold on the inside). We then ask about the other food in the server replied to us that the pasta line was a little backed up but it would be coming out soon. After we waited another 30 minutes with no food, I decided to walk to the front and find out what had gone wrong. I was told that the lasagna had never been made and that they were still working on the chicken Alfredo. I decided to ask for a refund and we left without eating. While the food at this place can be decent, the service is unpredictable. We had a terrible experience and it will be a long time before we try it again. read more

Great little cafe, perfect for a bright and filling lunch that won't leave you needing a nap after (if you get a small portion...or maybe a lot of caffeine). Waitstaff was incredibly helpful and attentive even though it's self-serviced. I got the lasagna which was served piping hot - the salty cheese, rich tomato sauce, and hefty fillings made for a indulgent meal. I ate half which was more than enough and had the other half for lunch the next day. My parter had the small tortellini which he thoroughly enjoyed, and the portion was just right for lunch. read more

I really enjoyed this little cafe. It's self serviced where you order at he counter but get your own water. The menu offers just about anything you'd want for Italian food and they had a decent wine list. The food itself was really good. I got the spaghetti and meatballs, the sauce was somewhat bland, noodles were amazing and the meatballs packed the flavor. We also ordered their Tagliolini which was amazing all around. Service was decent, ambiance was nice. Overall, I would go back again and recommend you check the place out if you're in the area. read more

Nice lunch spot! We had the Lasagna, Cappellini, and Garlic Bread. The garlic bread had cloves of garlic in it ... it was delicious. read more

Spur of the moment lunch stop and it did not disappoint. We ordered the lasagna & a pasta special (gulf shrimp with linguine). Both you need to try! The linguine is spicy but the white wine sauce is delicious. The prices seem expensive but fit the amount of food you receive. I will be back and maybe I'll be able to get a pic. read more

So everyone Loves Giusseppe's. Well if you go to the old location it's not Giusseppe's anymore. You can still find most of your old favorites and maybe some new ones just a block away on Pierremont. Fresh Pasta, Fresh ingrediants. I had the Tortellini today, it was great. I did order the full size and I think it was too much for lunch, but It tasted so good I had to power through it. Pasta made fresh, sauce was excellent. I also ordered the chocolate croisant, but I will have to wait till after my nap to try it. Staff is well attentive and knowledgeable. read more

First off... the service is absolutely incredible. You could not ask for nicer waitstaff, which is unfortunately rare these days. Two large pasta entrees, one large salad, two drinks 48.00. My partner ordered some kind of pasta with pork jowl. I got capellini. Portions were massive. The salad was, sorry to say, the worst, most bland caesar salad ever. So disappointing. My pasta was average. I ate it but it was so bland. No amount of cheese or pepper could help. His pasta was much better, quite flavorful. I don't know I'd return. It just didn't strike me enough. And for the price you pay, even though the portions are decent, I just can't rationalize what we paid for what we got. Maybe I'd return... without a salad. read more

Short version: EXPENSIVE for what it is. Long version: I read the reviews and because the good ones seemed to outweigh the bad, I decided to give it a go. We started out with a caprese salad (large, to share). It was "okay". The cheese was bland, but that was fixed with extra salt. It was soaked in pesto and made the ratio off a bit. The tomatoes were soggy, like they'd been refrigerated. I ordered the Bucatini Amatriciana, which is Guanciale (Jowl Bacon), Onion, Calabrian Chillies, Pomodoro Tomato Sauce, Pecorino Cheese. The pasta was good, but the sauce was "eh". Not a lot of flavor outside of tomatoes. I paid the extra to have chicken added. Dry flavorless HUGE chunks of chicken. My husband had the Ravioli del Giorno which was shrimp and cheese. He said it was "alright" but found it bland too. We paid the $5 to have the garlic bread, which actually has whole garlic cloves baked in. If it had been fresh and warm, it would've been heavenly. It was the best thing about our lunch. I am not a fan of Olive Garden, but I would prefer that to this place. We won't be back. It's very expensive and not all that wonderful. I may go buy their fresh pasta to cook at home with my own recipes. I am afraid that is the only way I will get good Italian in this town. read more

Excellent! This is a great place to eat local. Large portions, excellent service, convenient location.

Giuseppe's used to be the best pasta place in town, but my how they've fallen. I used to adore the tagliolini, but lately, the sauce has been underseasoned and bland. The tortellini used to be consistently great, but lately, it's all over the place. Sometimes it's thin and soupy, sometimes it's over-reduced and greasy. The prices have gotten wild too. I paid $15 for a caprese panini. Which is just bread, pesto, cheese, and tomatoes with a soup that was pretty much just broth. I wish I could say the ambiance or service was better, but it's not either. I heard kitchen workers talking with servers about wanting to hook up. Or other things you don't really want to hear when having a lunch or dinner. Especially not around children with all the profanity. I went an entire meal without anyone checking on me for refills or anything else on a day it was slow. When the restaurant is good, its good. But lately the bad days have outweighed the good ones. I'll be looking elsewhere for my Italian fix. read more

Love the tortellini! The portions are so generous. I can never finish it in one sitting, but that's another part I love. It's great as leftovers also. Good food read more

Okay, let's knock out the bad. Pricey meal. Ceasar salad was bland & had runny dressing. Potato puree soup was horrible - needed spices and nice toppings like cheese, chives, something. I added lots of salt, pepper & Parmesan to make it edible. Pasta served in half-moon bowls and our forks & knives kept slipping out. Desserts were practically nonexistent. And it was Happy Hour so I asked about the moscato. My server didn't know because she hates that kind of wine, but failed to make any suggestions. I ordered a glass anyway and it was flat as if they'd left the top off too long or it was old. NOW - great pasta and quaint decor. Lasagna had a lite tomato paste and the ravioli was spiced nicely w a fresh garlic thyme. Their bread was fantastic too. So if you give it a try, may I suggest stick to the pasta & skip the sides and wine? You and your wallet will thank me. read more

Best restaurant in Shreveport/Bossier area. Classy enough for a date night, casual enough for a work lunch. My go-to is the spinach tagliolini with a glass of cab. I moved from Louisiana a few years ago and still dream about this combo. The tiramisu is TO DIE FOR! Why are you still reading this review? You should be on grub hub ordering! read more

Taglioni tonight not the normal aurora sauce. Much too much tomato sauce. Server didn't seem to care. Hope they don't have a new chef and are changing the recipes. Pastacaffe was one of my favorites because of homemade pasta. read more

This is the second time we have ate here. The food is so fresh and so good. It's definitely and half self serve place and half not. It's kind of confusing but it's not a big deal. This is a hidden gem and we will be back. The staff has always been super friendly. read more

I had been to the original Giuseppe's, so my hopes of this establishment were high. I have been here multiple times and always ordered something different. I've never gotten anything that was impressive. I find the portions, even the large, are small for the prices. The salads aren't anything special. The pasta is homemade, which is nice, but the pasta dishes as a whole where just underwhelming. I don't feel like it's the quality of the original restaurant. read more

Love this place. Homemade pasta and sauces, great atmosphere definitely will be back!

Cute and quaint - love the idea of fresh made pasta - will definitely return - hoping this time the cannolis will be in stock, I know they go fast! read more

Pasta, bread, and service are out of this world. So fresh, and every time I've been there the service is hospitable and warm the docked star is unfortunately for salad. I've tried the house salad with lemon vinegarette several times but it's always been so tart out was inedible. Caprese salads are quite bland. If they could up the salad game it would be a huge plus for me, personally. Maybe another dressing option at least. Pasta and salad go hand in hand... for me at least. Anyway that alone won't keep me away. Highly recommend literally any pasta dish they offer. read more

I had the spaghetti and meatball, it was good, not sure I would order again. Might try another dish. Friendly pick up and easy.

This is the best pasta in town! The food is delicious! If you are trying to decide what to order, I suggest a Cesar salad, garlic bread, and the cappellini pomodoro. The daily specials are always delicious if you want to change things up. The service is always on point- very friendly staff. read more

My boyfriend and i came in about 4/5 days ago and i really enjoyed my meal. I'm pretty sure i just got a basic chicken Alfredo but man those noodles were sooo good. I wish i could've had more chicken in my pasta but the noodles are honestly so delicious on there own that i wasn't too upset about it. Great service and a very cute place to dine ! read more

Awesome place. If you are flying in or flying out of SHV, def a place to get a great meal. Highly recommended! read more

If you're in Shreveport, make sure you find this place and eat here. It's OUTSTANDING. I had the Caesar Salad and Bucatini Amatrciana. Dressing on the salad was very fresh and light. Flavorful but not heavy. The pasta was awesome and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend the Amatrciana. Very deep flavor. If you think the pictures on the website look good, it's nothing compared to how it tastes. read more

OMG! So delish! Why have I not been to this place before now? We went for lunch and ordered the Garlic Focaccia bread, Tortellini and Bucatini Amatriciana. The bread was perfection. Hot and crispy outside and soft and buttery inside. The pasta was so delicious and creamy. Full of flavor and very filling. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I can't wait to go back but this time for dinner so I can get a nice glass of wine to go with my pasta. Yum! read more

I heard this was a great place but I had a horrible experience . My husband and I went to have dinner and I ordered the salmon. I didn't like it and the lady was upset and rude when I brought it back. My husband's spaghetti was over cooked. We will never come back to this place. read more

Are you craving great, authentic!! Italian food?...be sure to go to "Giuseppe's Pastacaffe" in their new location 920 Pierremont Rd., Suite 110, you'll see their red awning just across the street (east) of Cuban Liquor. If you were a regular at their previous location you will recognize some items on the menu, YEAH!, with a few wonderful additions! As always, they serve FRESHLY made pasta with fresh ingredients. The tortellini and lasagna was terrific and I can't wait to go back to have other items on the menu. More good news!...their hours are 8AM to 8PM. I have already gone by in the AM a couple of times to have delicious coffee and Cappucino, complete with a delectable pastry...a lovely continental breakfast...accompanied by great music. Close your eyes and you are sitting in a cafe on the Mediterranean!! The photo gallery is really fun too...love Sophia Loren's quotes on eating pasta! Buona Mangiata!! Ciao read more

Homemade everything! Don't skip out on the bread it's served warm and it's worth every penny! read more

This is the finest Italian dining in the city by far. I have never had better pasta. I didn't even know I liked pasta this much until I came to Guiseppe's . Everything is made in-house and you can tell that this is no ordinary pasta. It was crafted with Italian love and knowledge. This is a fantastic lunch spot and would be somewhere I would take my girlfriend to (if I had a girlfriend). read more

My wife and I had a great lunch date here. The food is extremely good! We will be back

Came here with my bf one Saturday. Got gluten free pasta which was so good. Bfs panini was just average. Restaurant is very casual and there's extra charge for everything such as salad, soup (entrees dont come with any sides) so things can get more pricey than a more upscale restaurant. id come back for pasta and that's it. Dress casual. read more

Wonderful pasta! Some of the freshest pasta you'll find. The tagiolini is my favorite. I've tried several dishes and I've been impressed with each and every one. read more

I wish you could rate it more than 5 stars but here we are. There are no words to explain my love for this place. Ever since I was 3 I loved going here. The food is out of this world. I always get their lasagna bolognese and finish it in 1sitting because it's just that good. Their ciabatta garlic bread is also really good I like how they used actual garlic chunks. read more

Simply amazing! Real authentic Italian cuisine. Best in the area and I keep going back. Definitely worth checking out!!

Okay, but becoming predictable. Homemade pasta is good. I enjoy the Venetian Salad. Most of the fare is very fresh. Lovely, clean shrimp. Hard to place a phone order when they're busy. Food gets 5 stars! read more

If you like a small nice little lunch or dinner spot with homemade pasta then this is the place for you! Who doesn't like homemade pasta?! I always order a salad too for an appetizer! And their desserts are delicious too! The staff are always super friendly and the relaxed vibe and flow of the restaurant makes for an easy business meeting, date or friend meet up! read more

Noodles and sauce were amazing. It's said they make everything. From scratch. If true someone sure knows how to cook. I will b back
