Went to this restaurant while I was in Phoenix. Hole in the wall tucked in a strip mall. Restaurant is very small. Glad we made reservations. Food and service were really good. Had a very nice meal

The food here is amazing. We were looking to try a new Italian restaurant and this came across so we gave it a shot and now I think we found our new favorite restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious the service is excellent. The owner is so nice and always checking if we were happy with our food. We will definitely be regulars from now on. The fresh clams with black pasta is a chef’s kiss!

The food here is heaven!!! I’ve only had pasta this fresh and this quality in Manhattan or Italy. You can smell the fresh ingredients! I am a regular at Bianco’s Tratto but honestly after coming here, it’s gonna be really hard to choose where to go for a pasta dish. For now I know I’m gonna be a regular here for sure! I also have to say that what makes this place so special is the super friendly service, from the hostess to the waiters to the owner of the restaurant. They make you feel at home. It’s a really small place so if you want to guarantee a table, book in advance or come early. I came here again several times since I wrote this review. Here are pictures of the dishes we ordered. All are heavenly except the key lime pie. I didn’t taste the lime at all. It’s mostly a custard tart.

My favorite restaurant when I come to Phoenix!!!!!! We came to Phoenix 3 years ago and it was truly the best Italian food I have eaten. We came back for a conference and we made time in the schedule before we even got to town for Guiseppe's on 28th. We brought some friends along and told them how delicious it was. They fell in love as well. We ordered the bruschetta a variety and they were all so delicious. For our main course 3 of them had the Bolognese and I had the Macaroni and Cheese. They were so happy with their choice and I almost had to fight them off after they tasted my Macaroni and Cheese. It was truly the best Macaroni & Cheese I have ever tasted. Each of us ate everything on our plates. We ordered desserts from Tiramisu, Creme Brulee & Flour less Chocolate Cake. Each was delicious. We thought we couldn't eat anything else but we cleared out plates again!! We told everyone about Guiseppe's on 28th. Everytime I am in Phoenix I will make a stop. Thank You for having such incredible food!!!

We ordered the calamari as an appetizer, carbonara and shrimp&crab ravioli w/brown butter sauce as entrees. No words but amazing. Service was very great as well!

Greg and I were trying to go to the AZ state fair 9/26/2023, but due to our poor planning, the fair is only open Thursday-Sunday, lol. 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.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! Our server was super friendly and very helpful. The owner was super friendly and made several stops at our table to converse with us. My veal osso buco was the best I've ever had. We will definitely be back!
