The servers/staff are all very kind and friendly. No table service is provided until after 4pm. Went for a late lunch on a weekday and the pizza was fantastic. Thin crust, crisp bottom, delicious. Went back on a weekend night and was very disappointed with the pizza. It was night and day from the previous pizza. Thicker, soggy, undercooked crust and very unenjoyable. We also had the baked feta which was tasty. I think we will wait a while before we attempt to go back and likely stick with lunchtime when it was less busy. Perhaps a busy Saturday night was a little overwhelming with all of the take out orders. The dining room is cozy. Highly recommend a reservation if you don’t want to wait 1-2 hours for a table.

A fun local Italian restaurant. We arrived during peak times without reservations and were seated promptly. It’s a small establishment, so I highly recommend reservations. The food options were fantastic and everybody enjoyed their meal. I highly recommend the baked feta appetizer.

My husband discovered this gem, hole in the wall restaurant, many moons ago.
If finances would allow, we would most definitely be regulars.
The servers are always accommodating and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is laid back, with a sweet ambience.
The food, the best part, is always amazing and authenic!!
I could go and on.
It’s our date night go too(which is rare) and we’ve never been disappointed.
(We obviously had take night tonight)

It’s a great local Italian restaurant, we ordered to go and peeked at the dining area and it seemed to be on the smaller side which jives with the amount of parking in front. You do have the option to park near the park. The food that we got (meatball spaghetti, pizza, tiramisu) had good portions, tasted great and priced just right. The folks were friendly and accommodating.

We found Giuseppe’s when we were 18, when we started school at UAB, at one point in time, we would come once a week. since then, we have always seen it as our staple. Now recently graduated and engaged, though we can’t come often, we love coming back when we can, because it takes us right back to that time in our lives. Still our favorite. Still a staple. The food is always good, staff is attentive, laid back atmosphere. We will keep coming back!

Best Italian food I’ve had in the south so far. Super quaint and the service was amazing. And our food was perfect, definitely recommend the cheesy caprese for an appetizer and a pizza to share.

Always delicious. A few of the waitresses can have attitudes but they get your food right and it’s quick dining for a sit down restaurant.

Appetizer: Breadsticks with Tomato Salsa – Rating: 5/10
Pretty much what you would expect. The breadsticks were decent, nothing to write home about and the salsa-style sauce was a bit bland. Altogether fine, but not a wowing starter.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo – Rating: 9/10
I ordered the Chicken Alfredo and it was hands-down one of the best I have had in a long time. White sauce pasta is so easy to mess up, but Giuseppe’s absolutely nailed it. The sauce was perfectly balanced, not too thin or overly thick with generous chunks of chicken. The extra layer of cheese on top was a brilliant touch, and it arrived piping hot. You can add mushrooms for an extra $1.99, but honestly? I didn’t even miss them. Highly recommend.
Chicken and Prosciutto Penne (asked for spaghetti instead of penne) – Rating: 7.5/10
My sister ordered this one and enjoyed it, though she preferred my Alfredo (I did too). The sauce on this dish was thinner, and though it lacked the punchy flavour of the Alfredo, the prosciutto and other elements on the plate were still very enjoyable. Still a solid dish, just not quite as rich or satisfying as the Alfredo.
16” Meat Special Pizza – Rating: 7/10
A generous portion for sure, and meat-lovers will be satisfied. Hands down, the pasta dishes are the real stars here. If you are a pizza lover, it’s worth trying, but I would come back for the pasta any day.
I am visiting Alabama from the UK, and Giuseppe’s Café came highly recommended by several Uber drivers and locals. I definitely see the appeal . It’s a cosy, down-to-earth spot serving up hearty Italian-American comfort food, and I can see why it’s a local favourite.

Wow!! What a great little place!! Food and service both were awesome! I know this sounds silly but they even have good napkins. Their soft drinks were good and they have good small ice. Dining room is small but it is quiet and comfy. I typically need a jacket but the temperature was just right for me. We got breadsticks and a 10 inch meat pizza. It was plenty for me and my husband. We had not had lunch and it was around 2 pm when we arrived so we were glad they brought out our breadsticks right away. Totally recommend this little gem of a place! It will for sure be on our list next time we are in the area.
