We enjoyed the food, service & ambience of this restaurant, however, I thought it was a little pricey. My husband particularly liked the layout of the restaurant. More

We visited on the way to our honeymoon and loved it so much that we came back on the way back! Amazing food - i had the BEST steak of my life and also some pretty amazing pasta. Service is friendly - wine is divine (and love the fact that they recommend local unknown wineries - great to try them... More

I attended Giuseppe Arnaldo & Sons for a work function where we had a feasting menu. I’m a celiac (gluten allergy) and last time we attended a function at Giuseppe they had nothing to offer me as a main meal but a plate of cherry tomatoes cut in half with olive oil which was very poor and actually became a...

Nice selection of Italian food with something for everyone. Reasonable wine list but it is worth asking about the house specials as you can sometimes access something a bit different. I had the pork sausage and puy lentil dish which I really enjoyed. I was actually quite full afterwards, and my friend was in a similar boat with his meal... More

Waited at the bar for our table & it was very hard to get a drink, the workers seem to ignore you. Once we were seated the bad service continued, the waiter was terrible, not very friendly, did not explain the menu, did not bring parmesan cheese, did not remove the empty bottles from the table & we were waiting...

Used to go all the time as it's just over the river from the city (on Kings Way) but I got sick of them not taking bookings and having to look elsewhere. Food is great though. Their signature dish (they have several) is their Crab Pasta in a Paper bag. So good it took a long time to work my... More

We had a problem with one of the mains, in that it failed to be delivered. However the restaurant manger handled what could have been a bad experience extremely well. Full marks to the restaurant and the service provided., and the food was superb. More

We have been to Giuseppe Arnaoldo on a number of occasaision and have noted that the high standards it started off with seem to be dropping. The food has always been good with a nice rustic edge but I believe overpriced for what you get (and that's taking into account the premium you pay for the location). The service was... More
