Da Massimo

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).

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.

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! :-)
