This is our favourite local Italian restaurant. The food never disappoints and they nail the basics like bolognese and carbonara. Our favourite item on the menu however, is the garlic, rosemary and olive oil focaccia. The restaurant is limited in space and seating, so bookings are essential.

We dined here for Valentines Day 2023 with the $120pp set menu. The food itself was delicious and the wait staff were very friendly and accomodating. Oysters and cocktails served immediately were fine, entrees took about 30 minutes and were also tasty. However after that is where the trouble began, we waited 1h 30m for our first main (Prawn Pizza) to be served, the other main we ordered (Gnocci) didn’t arrive but was clearly included as it was ready 10 minutes later, where after 20 minutes we requested that Gnocci along with the desserts included to be packaged up to takeaway as it had been close to 2 hours at that point.When we arrived home and open the Gnocci up, it may have been the smallest serving we’ve ever seen, at most there was 10 pieces, which for an individual price of $30 is exorbitantly expensive. The overall value of the meal was very poor, the individual items added up cost less than $120.Overall, nice small venue, with friendly staff, but very poor timing of meals and value for money.Disappointing, because as locals we’d been wanting to try here for quite some time.

We had dinner sitting at the stools. Great service and friendly staff. Pizza was great as usual and cocktails were spot on! I saw a beautiful Italian lasagna coming through as well. Certainly, I will order it next time.

I absolutely love this spot.As someone that had a difficult time finding great Italian places in Melbourne, I am extremely pleased to announce that this spot is wonderful.Intimate, great quality of ingredients, tasty(very), the employees are extremely nice, and cheap! (20-30$ per main dish, wine bottle around 50-70$)

Wow this little restaurant is so fantastic! We booked a table in the tiny back bar and had two delicious pizzas. Staff were friendly and lovely. I will definitely be back! :-)

Beautiful dining experience!I celebrated my birthday last night with two close friends at Da Giuseppe and I thoroughly enjoyed it.I had booked the morning prior and actually chose the wrong date accidentally but it was easy to modify the reservation myself online with no issue.We arrived at 6:45pm and they allow for 1.5 hours to dine which we thought was appropriate. Our host greeted us warmly, if not mistaken I believe his name was Sal, and we were sat at a table in the bar section of the restaurant.They have two areas either the bar or pizzeria but we enjoyed the bar and there were options to sit up on the actual bar or tables nearby.The host handed us menus promptly and revealed a large selection of pizza, pasta and others which all sounded delicious.We decided on the Margherita and Masaniello pizzas and the Gnocchi Napoli pasta. The pizzas came out very quickly and shortly after the gnocchi arrived. Our favourite definitely was the Margherita, the bottom was crispy with great crunch and flavour and the cheese and tomato base was cooked beautifully. The base wasn't too thin and the crust was nice and puffy.The gnocchi was velvety soft and the napoli sauce was rich but not overbearing.I also ordered a celebratory cosmopolitan cocktail which was presently nicely with great colour. Our host was very kind and added a bit extra so it was quite potent.I also wanted to add that the host joined in the festivities by happily donning a party hat as well and that made me very happy they were open to celebrating with us and even one of the chefs joined in! Made for a fun and memorable experience that topped off the night.I thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and would recommend Da Giuseppe to anyone seeking great Italian cuisine accompanied by gracious hospitality.I am looking forward to future visits.

Great pizza and fantastic risotto! The ambience and staff were awesome too! Very friendly and the environment was great! The calzone was delicious too! Generous serves and the flavours were superb!I would have given it a full five stars if not for the fact that the buratta was a little underwhelming. Also, we were told that the best wine on the menu (by glass) was no longer being offered by glass and was only available by bottle. So we had no wine as nothing else appeared exciting.But I will reiterate that the food and service were great! Would definitely visit again!

We dined-in at this restaurant as a couple.We have a couple of points that we hope the restaurant would take into account as we would like an opportunity to come back for another try.1. The table for two was right at the entrance, where all diners would come through, pay bills and delivery and takeaway pick-up was taking place. It didn’t offer for any nice ambience or atmosphere for our romantic date and was a bit awkward. Gladly, we were able to relocate to the bar area (separate entrance at the back). It would be amazing to have more tables for two that are not bar area or located by the entrance.2. We had a lovely experience at the bar area and the bartender was lovely. We would however note that the staff/waitresses were chatting and laughing amongst themselves quite loudly, which again doesn’t help to set a nice mood or atmosphere. There is absolutely no issue with having fun at work (as we would all love to), but perhaps staff should be more mindful of quests dining in.Otherwise, food was tasty and cocktails were delicious (we didn’t stop at just one as planned).

Absolutely fantastic pizza, brought me back to Napoli. Textbook Margherita pizza, and the Mickey Mouse Hawaiian Pizza was incredible and the kids loved it. I have never seen that before. The staff also provided crayons to the kids to draw on the table cloth. We will be back for sure.
