Traditional Italian restaurant from the outside that boasts an enormous menu, lots of options for those who like variety. Can't comment on the full compliment of dishes, but you have to think that consistency runs through everything; recipes useful for all cooks. At lunch, based on the cravings of my colleague who was returning for a second time, we started with toasted cheese ravioli with a hint of jalapeño peppers with marinara sauce. Good stuff. Yum. We both had linguini with a heavy red cream sauce that had some bacon and broccoli mixed in. Very tasty. The portion was bountiful, so we both had leftovers. Dinner came with soft garlic rolls. The salad was basic fare, but fresh. Staff was friendly, cordial and workmanlike. Perhaps too workmanlike. My only complaint is that the service was fast, food came out quickly. I would have preferred a little lull. Perhaps it was lunch time and less bodies, but the timing was too fast for me. Otherwise, this is a place you'd return to several times. read more

Giuseppe's Pizza - Large portion of linguini and red cream sauce. - Italian Near Me - Petersburg, Virginia

This is a great authentic Italian Restaurant. Venture beyond the usual fare and order some the specialties. The Chicken Parmesan is generously sized and delicious. The chicken or veal marsala is some of the best that I have ever had. The lasagna is a standout. The have daily specials that are always good. Exceptional restaurant that is off the beaten path. read more

Love this place! The service is awesome, the food is plentiful and delicious and it's just a overall great feeling when going there. I like the red sauces pizza, subs and wraps. The calamari and mozzarella sticks are fabulous. Wasn't a huge fan of the sweet chili shrimp on the apps side...nor the Alfredo pizza but everything else has been amazing. read more

Great little spot! Waitress and staff was friendly! The food was good. Lots of options!

Was just passing through, for the selected range in Yelp this place was ranked number 1. The wait staff was very nice and the restaurant seemed clean. The pizza I ordered was ok at best, the sliced Italian sausage on the pizza was not good at all, on the other hand the pie crust was good, all other toppings were average run of the mill Italian restaurant quality. The main reason I give it three stars are the flies... As soon as my food was brought out my pizza was bombarded with flies, that's something I can't ignore. read more

Super nice people, good food. Enjoyed a Sunday afternoon filling up on Stromboli, seafood cannelloni, and cannolis. The portions are big. Ordered the small Stromboli and could feed 3 people (or two hungry ones) easy. The service was fast and the staff friendly. Affordable for the food you actually get. read more

Our waitress was very inattentive, despite the fact that we were the only people in her section. After 7 years, they still haven't figured out what Picata is. My daughter's spaghetti sauce tasted more like Chef Boyardee. Back to the server, we had to ask more than once for our second round of drinks. She never came to the table, after I received my salad, to see if I was satisfied. And again with the entrees, we were each about 1 bite away from completion, before she came to check on us for this course. To add, we were never offered water, or any other beverage choice besides our wine. read more

The best thing I have found on the menu is the Tour of Italy. It is the closest Italian food I've found to being authentic in Virginia since I came back from Italy. I get the pizza on occasion but you can't go wrong ordering the Tour of Italy. Manga!! read more

My family went for lunch after church. We all ordered hamburgers and fries for our meal. The hamburgers were deep fried and crunchy and the fries were doubled fried. This was the most disgusting food our family has ever had at a restaurant. Save your money and go to Burger King for a better hamburger! read more

Nice atmosphere, basic Italian food. Extensive menu, lots of choices, well priced, nice folks. Wish I could do a 3.5! Lasagna and cheese ravioli were on the upper side of basic, my daughters cheese steak wrap was not good and I was quite surprised how thin and sweet their marinara was that came with the chicken roll. Chicken roll was nice but also basic. Nothing to write home about but given it's location with not a lot of other options along the highway, i'd say give it a try. The rolls were awesome! read more

Love this place, have been coming here for years since I was a 12 year old now 30. This place has some of the best pizza and pasta dishes around. Always great service and quality of food is great. I will continue to come here when I'm at Virginia Motorsports Park right down the road. My in laws from Kansas also enjoyed it very much and said they would like to come back as well!! read more

I don't care if the calamari wasn't good the service was great polite as heck. The pizza was good should a got a large or a second and it was piping hot. That crust yo... That crust!!! read more

Stopped here on our way from SC to NJ. Just happened to pop up when we were ready to stop. Excellent service, food was good.: super family friendly. read more

Lots of pasta dishes to chose from. A very private banquet room to reserve for large crowds up to 25 people. Decor is elegant but has a casual atmosphere. A bar and outside covered patio to dining. Overall a great place for Italian food. It's gonna be my go to for pasta from now on. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since I would frequently pass it on the way to and from my kids' sporting events. They always seemed to have a good crowd by the amount of cars in the parking lot so I figured it must be good. We finally tried it, and it was a huge disappointment. We decided to get a few different items to see what they had to offer. We started with the mozzarella sticks. They were obviously not homemade and tasted like the mozzarella sticks you can get out of the frozen aisle at the grocery store. We tried the Alfredo Pizza and once we picked up a slice, all the toppings were sliding off. There was so much liquid. The taste was awful. We've had plenty of alfredo pizzas at different restaurants and this is hands down the worst we have ever had, easily. We got the Alfredo Matriciana and it was also disgusting. Alfredo, bacon, and cheese. Sounds delicious right? But it just had an overpowering smoke flavor and it just ruined the dish completely. We won't be returning. read more

My ex, took me there for a sort of I guess peace maker/re-kindle date last Friday. BLAH, I didn't want to go but decided to attend to hear his squeaks. The food and the service was very great. I had the tour of Italy and the RAT had a medium meat lovers pizza. The portions are very huge and satisfying. As for the RAT and his pizza, I had a slice and it was very good as well. Our waitress was very attentive and she kept me happy during the entire tooth pulling ordeal. I will definitely visit Giuseppe's in the future, just not with the RAT ever again. read more

There is a pizza on the menu that isn't advertised on here. It's the "Sicilian" It is totally awesome and something everyone should try but bring your appetite because this isn't your little pizza this is the pizza pie. We'll be having one there tonight. read more

Ordered take out. Service was friendly everything looked cleaned and well kept. Food was ready quickly. Pricing was good and everything tasted yummy. The pizza crust was perfect and the eggplant parm was also good. read more

My new favorite restaurant. The food is out of this world and the prices are quite reasonable. ( dinner and soft drinks for two with plenty of leftovers for 36. 00) every one was so friendly and genuinely concerned for their guests satisfaction. The dining area was clean and not too crowded. I had the Tour of Italy . A giant plate with spaghetti, lasagna, stuffed manicotti and chicken parmigiana. Salad and a delicious bread as well. Too freaking good!! Also too much to eat .Spaghetti breakfast anyone? Lol I highly recommend you visit this restaurant if you are ever in the area. Supporting local businesses is good for everyone. read more

Prime spot for pizza! Light draft selection with the standard domestics, but Legend on pull when I went. Service may be a tad slow, but the staff is super friendly and care about your experience. It's a bit out of town, so settle in and make it a destination. read more

The best thing about this place is the fries! The pizza sauce was watered down. Fake Italian!

I was passing through on business and this place was a recommend from the hotel I was staying at. I got a small meat lovers pizza and it was very good but probably should have gotten the mini. It was alright tho because I had some for my drive the next day. read more

The food is always fresh, service is great, and the portions are just right. If you love seafood and alfredo try their seafood canneloni with alfredo. Their homemade sauce is to die for! read more

First of all, even though it has a Petersburg mailing address, it's actually in Dinwiddie county. This is one family owned restaurant that continues to improve its interior. It has grown from a pizza and sub restaurant into a lovely Italian restaurant. Outside, it has an unassuming exterior with ample parking, but inside the owners have painstakingly and slowly improved the appearance to where you feel comfortable and enjoy your time there. The waitstaff is clean, friendly, and courteous; and everyone is friendly to families. Although reservations are not required, you should call ahead if you have a group larger than ten. The food is very good and plentiful, and they have an excellent selection and variety of dishes to choose from. Their pizzas are one of the things that I enjoy when I go there, although other members of my family also enjoy some of the other dishes there. I feel the hot subs are good, but the bread for the subs could be improved on. For example, there is a restaurant in Colonial Heights called Vincenzo's that switched to a better tasting sub roll several years ago, and that's where I enjoy eating my hot subs. Other than that, the food is excellent. Also, Giuseppe's onion rings are not quite as good as the ones Vincenz's. All in all, Giuseppe's is a restaurant that wants to improve and get better, and their food and waitstaff is quite good. Although they are located in the country, they have the feel of an Italian restaurant that is located in the city. read more

Delicious and huge portions. The calzone was big enough to feed three people and so good!! I loved their tomato sauce. We will be back in the area next week and will definitely stop in! read more

Outstanding food! We had 4 different dishes. Eggplant Parmesan perfect; chicken Marsala better than any we've ever had ; buffalo wings great.Great service. Food had steam coming off when it was served.A gem!!! read more

Had the meatball parmigiana sub. OK, but nothing special. Meatballs, only enough bland sauce to coat the tasteless bread, and a slice of cheese. Came with a bag of chips. Decent price, nice interior, but nothing special as I have apparently been here before and didn't bother to note it at that time as worthy of a return trip. Other items may be better. TVs everywhere, although thankfully sound is turned down low. read more

The food is always really good at this restaurant the service can be variable. Sometimes when we've been there it's great and sometimes you have to flag down a server for a drink refill. If they were more consistent we would go there more often. read more

This my to-go place to stop after work to pick up dinner for my family! Love the food, prices, and staff! Never had a complaint with anything we have ever ordered from here. My family has tried a lit bit of everything on the menu between are take-0ut orders and are eat-in orders. Always had great food and great service!!!! read more

You would not expect to find such a warm and friendly place this far out. It's well worth the drive. We went in on a cold winter night to find the place packed. Surprisingly, we were seated right away. The wait staff has is very friendly and our drinks were served promptly and never went empty. The food was excellent and in good portions. This night it really felt like you were at home with the family in a warm and inviting atmosphere. We are now regulars! read more
