Italian Close to Home? Giuseppe's Italian Restaurant and Pizza!

Giuseppe's Italian Restaurant and Pizza!

Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant is conveniently located off of highway 123 in near Chili’s and Starbucks. I chose this restaurant for its location and the fact that I was utterly shocked when I discovered that Seguin had an Italian restaurant. I love Italian food, yet the only place that I have had it before was Olive Garden. Thus, I knew that I needed to try Giuseppe.

From the outside it doesn’t appear to be much, just a huge dark yellow building. However, once you step inside it’s like a whole new world! The walls are decorated by painting that was clearly done by hand, making the atmosphere feel like you walked into a vineyard with blue skies. You are immediately welcomed by the waiter and seated in a timely manner.  We started with fresh bread rolls that still had steam pouring off of them, making the entire table smell like fresh bread.

The cover of the menu looked inviting but once I opened it, it was overwhelming with all of the writing. It was helpful though because each dish that they has contained a small description of what the dish included as well as what sides were came with it. I had ordered the Chicken Cremora Mushrooms that was a sautéed chicken breast with mushrooms in a creamy white wine sauce over Spaghetti Pasta. 

 The food looked very appealing was set to please the eyes. The color of the sauce was a beige color with a hint of the green from the spinach and the pasta added a more of a white color to the dish. The pasta was in the bottom, but each noodle was smothered in the mixture of white wine sauce and spinach. The spinach was full cooked and there wasn’t a crunchy texture to it at all. From the sight of it, I was really surprised that the flavor of the spinach drowned out all the other flavor of the dish because there was a lot of it, yet the chef was really great at balancing out the flavor. The sauce was in fact creamy in texture and had an amazing flavor that made your taste buds scream for more after each bite! The plate came with a house salad and I also had a slice of the homemade plain cheesecake. The cheesecake was really firm at first but once you dig into it with the fork it seems to melt in your mouth!

My boyfriend had ordered the Veal Piccata and it tasted okay to me, it seemed to have a tad bit too much lemon but other than that it was good. He thought that it had too much sauce for the amount of pasta that he had and that there wasn’t much color to the dish.

 I would order this entrée again! I like the Chicken Alfredo from Olive Garden, yet this place gives Olive Garden a run for their money in my book. I will go back because the food was delicious, the service was attentive, it had a welcoming atmosphere, and the portions for the most part all seemed to work together. It is a little on the pricy side but if you are willing to explore and expand your food pallet; it is definitely a place you want to visit! :)
