Giuseppe's Italian - Denton

Waitress may need some training. Luckily for us we were given a gift certificate. We are trying to change the way we review, apparently restaurants are very very slow in Texas compared to the ones we have been at in New England. I will attempt not to fault the restaurants for the slow service if it is the cultural norm.<br/ So here we are as other have said it is a charming little house that is now a restaurant.<br/ The menu is wonderful, it was very hard to pick what dish we wanted to get. Our waitress was awful, not only did she come stomping over she took my drink order then James's. I realized that we were going to have to wait for ever so I ordered our app which was crab stuffed mushrooms.. Instead of asking James what he would like she just took off. <br/ I am pretty sure our app and drinks came out while we still had the menus' in our hands. I ordered the angel hair pasta with garlic, lemon sauce and capers( Capellini Vongole). James got the flat pasta and chicken dish(Pollo alla Romana). <br/ The mushrooms were good, a little undercooked but the cheese sauce made up for it.<br/ The portions were very small. The angel hair dish was extremely good. James did not even touch his pasta after finding out the sauce was something like chef boy-ardee. Perhaps it is a true Italian flavor but for James it was just plain gross. <br/ We did order the dessert- Tiramisu it was delish.<br/ <br/ Not on to the not so nice review of the terrible waitress. Aside from taking off with out asking James if he wanted anything she was not able to keep my water glass full. My biggest pet peve. I assumed that this was one of the restaurants I would not have to request two glasses. I was wrong. So after our app she brought us our salads and then later the bread...Hmmm kind of strange. Our meals came out before we were done the salads and she had never come back to check or remove the salad plates. We then played a game of trying to fit the app dish, two salad dished , app plates, and two meals on a very small table. BIG TIME NO NO not cool at all.<br/ She royally pissed James off by reaching in front of him while he was eating to fill his glass with a pitcher.<br/ She didn't even ask why James didn't touch any of the pasta on his plate-an attentive waiter would have immediately noticed, especially with the small portions.<br/ We almost left the restaurant without getting the remained of our gift card because it was taking so darn long. I told James we were not leaving her with a 45 dollar tip and needed to get the certificate back.<br/ Needless to say wee finally go the cert back and are kind of worried about going back because of the terrible waitress. the saving grace was the young male waiter we watched do everything right. We will ask for him when we do go back. I am debating send a letter about waitress do and do not lists.

Enjoyed the Dinner. We ate here after hearing people rave about it. A unique dinner experience in a restored old house. The food was very good, but did not live up to the hype. You can find as good, if not better, Italian food even in the Denton/Aubrey area without the wait. But we would definitely return, especially for a special dinner with the spouse or for visiting family.

Loved the atmosphere and the service was great. Food was wonderful and refreshing. A change from the usual chain food Italian. Will be back.

Romantic. Had dinner with husband about a week ago. this is perhaps the best Italian restaurant in Denton. It is expensive but worth the money. Also have a good wine list with one of our favorites wines J.Lohr Cabernet Ca'tn wait going there again on our anniversary.

Very nice, upscale setting, the mood is very relaxing. The prices aren?t bad. The appetizers we had were the brochette and mozeralla sticks. The red wine vinaigrette was the best over. The waiter was great. The tortillni bolognese was the best!!! Definitely will stop by on my way from the casino EVERYTIME now on my way home ??
