We then looked up Giuseppe 's via Guy Fieri 's AZ Triple D 's restaurant recommendations. We started off with an appetizer Suppli di Riso along with garlic bread our bread was $5.00. OMG, the 3 risotto balls were filled with mozzarella, lightly coated, then fried, resting in a marinara sauce $10.00. For dinner, Greg had the Italian Mac and Cheese made with Parmigiano, mozzarella, fontina, prosciutto, cream, and butter baked until golden brown HOT $19.00. Absolutely devine. I liked it better than mine, but don 't get me wrong, mine was just as delicious! I had the Bolognese Ragu homemade tagliatelle with their famous 7 meat ragu $21.00. Their noodles were sooo tender they almost melted in your mouth. Greg drank a Peroni lager $6.00, and I had the Arceno Chianti Classico $8.50. For dessert, we were going to try the Tiramisu but were beat out of the last piece. We ended up trying the Keylime Mascarpone Tart $7.00. It was ok. I don 't think I 'd order again.

We arrived early, so the place was pleasantly uncrowded. It's a small and cozy spot with tables packed closely together and a lot of takeout orders happening. It’s probably not the best choice for a romantic, intimate dinner. The background music was classic '70s rock, and our server even joined in singing along, which created a fun vibe—though it might not give off the most upscale dining feel for meals that are around $20. We kicked things off with some wine and beer, along with bruschetta topped with gorgonzola and honey, as well as pesto and tomatoes, all of which was delicious. I went with the Ragu featuring seven types of meat, and the noodles were fresh and thin—not your typical store-bought kind. I requested extra red sauce, and they kindly brought out a generous bowl on the side. My husband chose the beet and sausage cream sauce pasta, which was simply fantastic—a perfect balance of sweet and savory. We drove an hour to try this restaurant, and we will certainly be back!

My partner ordered the rice balls, and it was clear they had been microwaved. We really wanted to enjoy our time at this restaurant, but unfortunately, we won't be coming back.
