May 10, 2014 - Ristorante Giuseppe - Scottsdale, Arizona

Dinner with Joshua, Jody, Judson and Jonah Hayes .  I started with Pasta Fagioli…we shared an order of Bruschetta (lots of chopped tomatoes dripping in olive oil…just like Grandma used to make…served on thinly sliced hard roll bread and large grated pieces of parmesean cheese)…then shared an order of Eggplant and Zuchini…Four big baked pieces smothered in cheese and red sauce.

Joshua and Jody split an order of Linguine  and Clams with Red Sauce. 

I ordered Pasta Alex…and the waiter suggested that since tonight they had homemade gnocchi that I get that for the pasta with the Pasta Alex sauce.. so I did….spicy sausage…oil…garlic…tomato…cream and pesto...yummy but there were lots of red peppers in the sauce….really had a bite to it.



Judson ordered Mostaccioli with Red Sauce…and one large Meatball.



Of course we had dessert  - I ordered the homemade cannoli…the creamy filling was light and delicious…not too sweet….everything about this treat was perfect.  Jody and Judson shared a piece of Chocolate Non-flour Cake…it was delicious and heavy.  I love those Italian cakes that are heavy.


Great Cannoli


We brought two bottles of wine because they encourage that with no corking fee.  It is just part of the ambience at this local eatery where the food is delicious and the crowds are huge.  It is a small family owned business with about ten tables inside and a few outside.

If you didn’t live in Scottsdale you would never know that it was there…except for those people who go there with their Scottsdale friends…then bring in the crowds.

And, of course this is Scottsdale where we shared bites of food with our neighboring table…then sips of wine….only in Scottsdale…and that’s what I love about this city.


Our service was absolutely wonderful.  The young man who was our waiter had so much fun with the two boys…and made it an enjoyable dining experience for both of them.
