I have to admit to being surprised by the strong reviews here, and I'm willing to accept that we may have gone on an off night, but the food we had here was truly mediocre. It didn't help that we were a table of two seated in the midst of several BIG parties. An earlier reviewer suggests this restaurant has... More

Although a bit pricey for a student like me, Giuseppe's does not disappoint. Their portions are HUGE - the lasagna lasted me three more days at home. A very family-friendly restaurant, Giuseppe's has live music some nights with extremely varying quality: sometimes quite impressive and other times embarrassingly bad. But then again, the staff is super friendly and eager to... More

I visited the restaurant with my girlfriend and we had an amazing dinner. The waitress was very knowledgable about the menu and gave us good suggestions. The restaurant is dimly lit which makes for a perfect romantic dinner. To begin with, they served bread rolls with butter and an olive oil dip flavored with garlic and other herbs, which was... More

In the deep New England Winter of 2002 I began to make annual trips from Martha's Vineyard to Gloucester for reasons having nothing to do with tourism or fine dining. However, I invariably found myself wanting to sample the local fare. At the head of Main Street in downtown Gloucester stands the historic Blackburn building. In 2003 and later it... More

Friends and I have been meeting here for pizza and drinks for months. The entertainment, service and atmosphere are great. We HIGHLY recommend the delicious lasagne--and the portion is HUGE, good for at least 3 people.

This was our second time at Giseppe's. Very friendly staff, warm lighting and great music both cd and live. This time we just had ceasar salad and pizza. Romaine was crisp and served on a chilled plate, pizza was very good and we even ate the crust! Drinks are only o.k., but they have a great selecton of wines by... More

Service was outstanding our waitress was very attentive and friendly. They told us right at the door that they would be starting kid's piano sing along soon but we thought that sounded fun so we stayed. It was awesome! The piano man was super and fun with the kids. Food was great! An all around great experience. Would return.

This was my first time in Massachusettes since my gluten sensitivity diagnosis and I found online that Guiseppe's had gluten free options. The Margarita was delicious! Everyone else in the party enjoyed their regular pizza and fried ravioli appetizer. I deffinently look forward to going there again next year!

I've eaten at Giuseppe's many times and never been disappointed. The food is delicious, no matter what you order, but I especially love their lobster ravioli and pizza. Also, there's live music on certain nights and a piano bar on Fri/Sat nights that's great fun. My friends and I drive all the way to Gloucester from NYC just to sit... More
