First visit was above expectations! The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and they delivered speedy service with a smile and happy attitude. I enjoyed the cafe atmosphere and the authenticity of the food, which was amazing! You can really taste the love in their pasta and don’t forget to try the salads and garlic bread. This place should be your first choice for your pasta cravings!

I don’t give out 1 star reviews, but now I have to. This wasn’t what I was expecting from a good reviewed place. I seen that the lasagna was a popular menu item. I asked my boyfriend to order me this for my lunch (takeout). I was highly disappointed when I opened it. The portion is small. The lasagna was tough to eat and was BURNT. Here’s some pictures if you guys want to see proof. Not sure who the cook was that day, but they did a terrible job. My boyfriend ordered the chicken Alfredo and didn’t even get chicken in his meal. Would we come back? No. Sorry, I just don’t want to waste

We stopped in here for dinner tonight. I looked them up online, win!!! Nice, dainty little spot. You order/pay at the counter, and they bring your food out to your table. I had spaghetti and meatballs and Hunni had the tortellini. All good, along with bread, a glass of wine, and a beer for $43.00, NOT BAD AT ALL.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 9.10.21

I tried this place for the first time and was left with mixed feelings.
The pasta itself is phenomenal. They make it themselves and you can tell the texture is far superior to most restaurants.
We tried the lasagna and fettuccine alfredo. The lasagna itself has a very unique flavor. My wife loved it, "best I've ever had". I tried it and I wasn't a fan of that particular ingredient. I can't put my finger on what it is. It had a very cheesey taste texture to their credit.
Alfredo was really solid. The sauce is legitimately authentic. Real parmesan that you can see in it. It was heavily peppered

This spot truly can do no wrong. I received a gift card here and was told this was their favorite places to eat. I absolutely see why! Everything is delicious. My first time there I got the pasta and it was AMAZING got it to go and it was still hot when I got it back home. Today I stopped by for lunch and tried something new. So glad I did. This panini was absolutely delicious and that Caesar truly hit the spot. This place is a casual dining spot so great for lunch or a quick dinner. The food is so good it's worth a visit. They might seem me every week before I move away!

Pasta, bread, and service are out of this world. So fresh, and every time I've been there the service is hospitable and warm the docked star is unfortunately for salad. I've tried the house salad with lemon vinegarette several times but it's always been so tart out was inedible. Caprese salads are quite bland. If they could up the salad game it would be a huge plus for me, personally. Maybe another dressing option at least. Pasta and salad go hand in hand... for me at least. Anyway that alone won't keep me away. Highly recommend literally any pasta dish they offer

This little Pastacaffe is just too cute! It's in an office building and looks very unassuming from the outside, but inside it's all white and bright! You walk in, order at the counter and they will bring the food to your table. Portions are very generous here! They make all of the pastas and sauces in house. They also have rotating specials and there is always a special ravioli. You can also buy pasta buy the pound to cook at home!
I ordered a kids sized rigatoni with pomodoro sauce. They normally don't let adults order off the kids menu, but the waitress was very kind. The kids

Best restaurant in Shreveport/Bossier area. Classy enough for a date night, casual enough for a work lunch. My go-to is the spinach tagliolini with a glass of cab. I moved from Louisiana a few years ago and still dream about this combo. The tiramisu is TO DIE FOR! Why are you still reading this review? You should be on grub hub ordering!

My boyfriend and i came in about 4/5 days ago and i really enjoyed my meal. I'm pretty sure i just got a basic chicken Alfredo but man those noodles were sooo good. I wish i could've had more chicken in my pasta but the noodles are honestly so delicious on there own that i wasn't too upset about it. Great service and a very cute place to dine !

Great little cafe, perfect for a bright and filling lunch that won't leave you needing a nap after (if you get a small portion...or maybe a lot of caffeine). Waitstaff was incredibly helpful and attentive even though it's self-serviced. I got the lasagna which was served piping hot - the salty cheese, rich tomato sauce, and hefty fillings made for a indulgent meal. I ate half which was more than enough and had the other half for lunch the next day. My parter had the small tortellini which he thoroughly enjoyed, and the portion was just right for lunch.

I really enjoyed this little cafe. It's self serviced where you order at he counter but get your own water. The menu offers just about anything you'd want for Italian food and they had a decent wine list. The food itself was really good. I got the spaghetti and meatballs, the sauce was somewhat bland, noodles were amazing and the meatballs packed the flavor. We also ordered their Tagliolini which was amazing all around.
Service was decent, ambiance was nice.
Overall, I would go back again and recommend you check the place out if you're in the area.

First off... the service is absolutely incredible. You could not ask for nicer waitstaff, which is unfortunately rare these days.
Two large pasta entrees, one large salad, two drinks 48.00.
My partner ordered some kind of pasta with pork jowl. I got capellini. Portions were massive.
The salad was, sorry to say, the worst, most bland caesar salad ever. So disappointing.
My pasta was average. I ate it but it was so bland. No amount of cheese or pepper could help. His pasta was much better, quite flavorful.
I don't know I'd return. It just didn't strike me enough

Short version: EXPENSIVE for what it is.
Long version:
I read the reviews and because the good ones seemed to outweigh the bad, I decided to give it a go.
We started out with a caprese salad (large, to share). It was "okay". The cheese was bland, but that was fixed with extra salt. It was soaked in pesto and made the ratio off a bit. The tomatoes were soggy, like they'd been refrigerated.
I ordered the Bucatini Amatriciana, which is Guanciale (Jowl Bacon), Onion, Calabrian Chillies, Pomodoro Tomato Sauce, Pecorino Cheese. The pasta was good, but the sauce was "eh"

While visiting Shreveport, I was craving some pasta and decided to try out Giuseppe's after finding it on Yelp. First of all, it was sort of hard to find the location using my GPS. It's on the side of the office building with a red awning in case you can't find it. Turn by the liquor store and you'll see it on the right.
Since it was lunch time, I was hoping to get a pasta and salad. They do have a lunch combo for $10 for a pasta and side salad, but you can only get one pasta. I didn't want a cream-based pasta, so I decided to order a pasta and side salad separately

I would give this place closer to 3.5 stars. I went to Giuseppe's for dinner. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. The place is clean, well kept, and family friendly. This is a counter service restaurant with friendly staff.
The menu keeps true to traditional Italian pasta roots of simple ingredients for flavorful food. We ordered the Tagiolini and Bucatini large portion. Each dish came to around $13. The tagiolini was flavorful with a nice earthy mushroom taste; however, the cream felt quite heavy after a while. The bucatini was served with a simple tomato sauce that is infused with bacon. The

So everyone Loves Giusseppe's. Well if you go to the old location it's not Giusseppe's anymore. You can still find most of your old favorites and maybe some new ones just a block away on Pierremont.
Fresh Pasta, Fresh ingrediants.
I had the Tortellini today, it was great. I did order the full size and I think it was too much for lunch, but It tasted so good I had to power through it. Pasta made fresh, sauce was excellent. I also ordered the chocolate croisant, but I will have to wait till after my nap to try it.
Staff is well attentive and knowledgeable.
