I dined for lunch at Giuseppe's this week for the first time and found it by luck since I'm rarely in this area. It's located in the center of a strip center with parking in front and a small but attractive outdoor courtyard with two tables for outside dining. Inside there is a small foyer and what appears to be three separate dining areas. It has a "local neighborhood" feel to it.
After being seated and presented the menu I opted to order the Chicken a la Shoemaker for $17.75. This dish is also listed on their smaller lunch menu for $14.25 and is the same portion size but comes with a side salad for the extra $3.50.
First to appear was a complimentary bread basket and oil for the table to share and we enjoyed it. The bread was warm and buttered. Shortly after, my salad appeared with greens, tomatoes and croutons in a tasty vinaigrette dressing and I liked it. About 10 minutes later the entree arrived in a large bowl. It consisted of chicken breast chunks sautéed with lemons, sliced mushrooms, spices and onions in a white wine broth on a bed of Angel hair pasta. I thought this was a good tasting meal with a savory flavor to the food with the onions and spices contributing to the chicken and pasta. I would have liked a little more food in the bowl but all in all it was a satisfying meal.
During the meal the background music was enjoyable and the table service prompt and professional. I would be happy to return when in the area. read more
