Giuseppe’s Cipolle Pizza

Giuseppe’s is becoming a real hit with me. I admit that I may have been a little harsh on the first go round but sometimes life, and finerepast.com, offer us second chances. After having visited Giuseppe’s several times, it wasn’t til this last visit that the authentic Italian flavors really hit me in the face. That’s really not Giuseppe’s fault. I can be a little slow sometimes.

So let’s start off with some authentic Italian. How about this fine pizza pie? No, that’s not sausage or pepperoni. This is some mighty fine eggplant on their Cipolle Pizza Pie, made with Caramelized shallots, eggplant, chili flakes, parmigiano reggiano. Damn tasty stuff and I would say authentic Italian. It may not appeal to your average American tastebud, but, hey, they can go to McDonald’s.


VEAL PIZZAIUOLA

I steered clear of the veal special for $29 and went with the VEAL PIZZAIUOLA for $21. Yeah, that’s right, I asked this time. Two words can really save you a lot of money, “How much?” This is veal sautéed with tomatoes, kalamata olives and capers, served with spaghetti. You want authentic Italian flavor - the tomatoes, olives and capers, when prepared together, will produce that magical taste. It’s in there!


ANTIPASTO VARIO

Ok, I blew some pictures here. It may seem easy but taking pictures of food ain’t! This is the somewhat out of focus (Photoshop can only work minor miracles) Antipasto Vario - comprised of bruschetta, caprese, olives, salami and a mix of roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, artichokes, roma tomatoes, and kalamata olives. By the way bruschetta is pronounced as if it had a “k” in place of the “ch”. Save yourself some embarrassment and impress random onlookers with your American Italian. Speaking of brusketta, I never really understood the appeal of this stuff. I ended up scraping off the tomatoes and using the bread to dunk in olive oil. The fresh mozzarella was the highlight of this dish.

Can’t wait til I revisit Giuseppe’s - rockin’ it in Bexley!
