The front desk girls had really nasty attitudes. Yall should think twice about who you are putting at the face of your business. Very negative dark energy. One of the girls (the one one with the dark hair--the worst one of the two) literally put her hands on me as she walked by me so that she could get by instead of saying excuse me. I had to tell her not to touch me. She had the audacity to try and gaslight me; she acted all frazzled and confused lol concerning to say the least

Loved this food!!!The clamchowder was delicious even without the coveted bread bowl. My father loved it. As a former chef he especially enjoyed the presentation of it.I had the ravioli and I was impressed. Ceasar salad eith anchovies was was great. The marinara pizza was delicious too.
Guido was great, as was the martini and pizza! Old school decor is awesome. Plenty of parking around.

Every time we come to Pismo Beach we always go to Giuseppe’s. Everything we had was amazing. Our favorites are the filled pasta as well as the pizza. The gelato is also very good.

Great old school Italian, decor is great, includes the old belt driven overhead fans. Wood fired pizza oven is a work of art.
We had our 50th anniversary party here last night. Everyone and thing was perfect. I highly recommend it for your special event.

Yeah, phenomenal service, phenomenally fresh Italian fair. The price is more than reasonable. The wait time is the only bad thing, and that's a good thing! This place was absolutely packed, the servers were all on top of their game, and you could tell that the people working there took a lot of pride in their job. Absolutely must hit spot in Pismo Beach.

Celebrated my husband's birthday in Pismo last Tuesday. I really enjoyed the clam chowder I ordered- it truly was some of the best chowder- if not the best I've ever had. The house salad was simply over dressed. Husband ordered Lasagna- it was so-so. My kiddo ordered the grilled octopus salad and really enjoyed it. And the other kiddo had a pasta dish that they customized to make vegan and said none of the veggies were seasoned- truly bland. The desserts we ordered were delicious- tiramisu and lemon cheesecake- highly recommend them. The wait was over an hour, but I would honestly go back just for that chowder. The fresh sourdough they bake in house is served with a mixture of balsamic, olive oil, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to spread on top- is perfect. The wait staff was very attentive. I would like to visit again next time we're in Pismo just to try other items on their menu.

A recent visit to Giuseppe's Cucina Italiana in Pismo Beach, was one of the most memorable dining experiences we've enjoyed in the local area in many years. The general feeling once seated at our table of "having arrived" created from the restaurant's lively "buzz", the Servers moving quickly with earnest between tables, Gino playing the accordion and our Server for the evening, Guido, fussing to make sure we were all comfortable while informing us about the "Specials" for the evening. To start...a warm bread plate with a delicious dipping sauce (5/5) was delivered to our table. The dipping sauce was so yummy we had to request "more"! At that point we ordered our Drinks: Flatliner (5/5), White Russian (5/5) and a Mind Haze (IPA) (5/5). Next we ordered our Appetizers: Funghi Ripieni (5/5), Sonoma County American Lamb Lollipops (5/5) and our Salads: Caprese Royal (5/5) and Roasted Beets (5/5). For our main dishes we chose from the Pasta: Tortellini Giuseppe (5/5),Capesante e Gamberi (5/5) and from the Secundi: Iberian Pork Chop (5/5). As you can see dear Yelp Review Reader(s)...as served, all dishes were nothing but excellent, deserving nothing but praise. The portions were large and afforded everyone the opportunity to take home something special for another meal. Finally for Dessert, we all shared the Crème Bruele (5/5). Along with the establishment's unique atmosphere, excellent service, entertainment provided by Gino, wonderful company and conversation...this evening turned out to be...well...a night to remember. On this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion, Giuseppe's Cucina Italiana in Pismo Beach truly earned this "highly recommend, if you haven't gone yet...go tonight", 5 Star review.

Incredible dinner!! We all had different dishes. My Frutta de Mare was enough for two hungry people and very tasty. Everyone was very pleased with their dishes and our server was attentive and informative. A wonderful find!!
