There were high and low notes to dinner. First, other reviewers had mentioned gf ravioli and other dishes. I was disappointed to learn that in fact there are only a couple gf pasta options: none include ravioli, wheel pasta or several others. Basically there is spaghetti or penne. Although the meatballs CAN be made gf! And they are huge and tasty. They do bring gf toasted bread (think loaf of bread with a rustic toasting). This is the gf bread brought to the table and the bread used for Bruschetta. That said, it is very good bread. And the herbed butter is delicious! The bruschetta was a treat to eat any not have to fix it at home. The sauces we ordered were good (marinara with beef and the olive oil with Parmesan cheese) and well worth the trek off the highway to Bexley. Our server was friendly, VERY aware of our needs and paid special attention to the detail of our meals and service. She also was patient and pointed out things we could have from the entire menu. (She mentioned that several other items could have been made gf if the owner/chef would be more inclusive! What a novel experience!) Dessert options are limited to 2 gelatos. We were too stuffed to even split one! If you are in Columbus or Bexley, this is definitely a place to try!
This place was amazing! They have GF bread, pasta, pizza and meatballs. So many options I was very surprised. Server was very knowledgeable. The food was also delicious!
Had gluten free spaghetti carbonara and had to do a double take that the pasta was gluten free. It was and it was delicious. Had the chocolate crunch for dessert and it was also yummy. Excited to come back!

I had gf spaghetti and meatballs. They also served a gf toasted bread with an herb butter. It was all very good. I’m celiac and did not have a reaction.
This restaurant has the most superior gluten free bread I have ever had, anywhere. They also serve it as bruschetta, which is spectacular. They have phenomenal gf pizza and a variety of pastas, including a gf four cheese ravioli. I have eaten here half a dozen times and have never gotten sick.
Great food-worth the price. Have great Gluten free options and staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable.
While the food was really good, the service was horrible. We had to beg the bread boy for bread for our gluten eating guest and for me, I got one piece of gluten free bread and was never offered any more. The server was clearly more interested in the locals and the larger tables versus our party of two. It's a shame as this is right around the corner from Cherbourg but we won't go back. The locals that sat behind us tapped LOUDLY he entire time too and would not quiet down. F.
Great place- go here! Gf pizza, pasta + even 5-cheese ravioli. Lots to chose from. Even served me gf bread + my friends tried it + said it tasted better than the regular rolls! Nice flourless chocolate cake for dessert. I give Giuseppe's 6 stars!
For those of us with gluten issues, eating Italian is quite challenging. Giuseppe's does an impeccable job. From the toasted GF bread that came out simultaneously with the bread my dinner companion was served, to the amazing pasta dish and the delicious dessert that followed, I believe this gem is one of the best restaurants I have eaten at. I planned to order a GF pizza to go but just couldn't eat another bite. No worries; I will most assuredly go back!
