“ My boyfriend and I came for his birthday dinner and had an amazing experience! We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer and it was delicious. I ordered the shrimp and lobster ravioli which was the perfect portion size and tasted incredible. My boyfriend ordered the chicken parmigiana which also WOWED us. He described that the flavor marinated in his mouth even after we were done eating. Everything was awesome and all the servers were super sweet and informative! I can’t wait to come back soon and try the tiramisu! ”
“ WOW!!!! I think that should be enough, but I will tell you more. This place is an absolute jewel and should not be missed. it is a very small family restaurant, there are probably only a dozen tables inside, so reservations are a good idea. I had incredible food, a great conversation with the Owner and our waitress was such a positive individual. The atmosphere was incredible, and I had incredible conversations with 3 other tables while i was there. Truly felt that I was at home and comfortable. The food was amazing, I will return as often as I can. ”
“ Outstanding! Sampler was delicious, with subbed fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parm for the eggplant parm with only a slight upcharge. Also, chicken marsala with risotto was great. Our server Reanna was wonderful! Owner stopped by, called us by our names, and knew it was our first time there from the comments we made in the reservation. Going back soon, and we live over an hour away. Reservations are highly recommended. ”
“ We had an amazing conversation with one of the family owners about the family pictures on the back wall. He gave us some family history, making the experience dinning here even more welcoming than it already was. The sauce was the BIG stand out! On each and every dish it danced with my mushroom raviolis and my partners trio of spaghetti, lasagna, and chicken parm. Our favorite was the appetizer of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes with basil and balsamic vinegarette. Thank you for a great evening! ”
“ Lola & Giuseppe’s is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to hands down. I ordered the Giuseppe sampler platter and it did not disappoint. The pictures do not do it justice. The portion size was huge and the quality was beyond amazing. One recommendation is to put in your reservations early. It seems to be a family owned restaurant with a limited schedule but definitely worth the wait!! ”
“ Old school italian restaurant. Red sauce is neither sweet nor acidic. It is perfect. Good portions. Everybody took home leftovers. Reasonably priced and super friendly staff. The fried spaghetti pie was awesome. We bought some Italian wedding cookies from their bakery on the way out and they were perfect! Pretty crowded so definitely need reservations on weekends ”
“ Our favorite Italian restaurant! Fantastic food at a reasonable price. Favorites are the chicken Marsala, lasagna, Sicilian onion soup, spaghetti and meatballs and the carrot cake! When we can’t get a reservation we do carry-out. The staff is top notch as is the service! Highly recommend! ”
“ You’re ideal small Italian spot. The menu has a wide variety and is fairly priced. Chicken parm was delicious and gravy was decent. The place is very small and hard to get a table. You have to have a reservation for Friday and Saturday nights. ”
