Giuseppe's - Days Bay New Zealand

There’s a great new menu at Giuseppe’s to go with its refreshed decor. The food is authentically southern Italian and the service is excellent friendly and efficient. The gnocchi with lamb ragout was perfectly al dente and delicious. I finished off lunch with a yummy iced chocolate made with gelato. It’s great to be able to shop for speciality foods while waiting for your meal to arrive.

At the restaurant the service was amazing, the food itself was good but not great and somewhat overpriced. Enjoyed the Salmone pizza and the Gnocchi with Lamb Ragu: the pizza flavour was excellent and it was well cooked however the base had no structural integrity and had to be fully supported to the tip or the toppings fell off. The ratio of ragu to gnocchi left that dish feeling like a stew and it was very greasy. The shop part of the store is an entirely different story, they have an extensive pasta range and everything is very reasonably priced. I left with three different types of good quality pasta and will definitely be going back!

It's casual, open, light. The food is good and there's an Italian wine, cheese and food/products shop at the back. Staff friendly and there's a bar and a selection Carrello's gelato on display.

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Every course was delicious, authentic Italian food (antipasti, pizza and tirimisu) and we were greeted with the loveliest staff you could need. Lovely people, food and atmosphere. Really fantastic, thanks a lot.

This has to be some of the most amazing customer service skills I’ve ever encountered. To whoever runs Giuseppe’s, I hope you congratulate your staff member running front counter on the 8th January, 2020 at 4pm as he knew the menu inside and out. He knew each individual ingredient for the menu item, he knew how to up-sell without pressuring us at all. I was very impressed as this is our first time here. Haven’t even tried the pizzas yet but the service was too good not to mention. Will definitely come back again!
