Giuseppe's Ritrovo Description:
Giuseppe's Ritrovo offers authentic Italian cuisine including veal, lasagna, pasta, seafood and many other choices. Open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday.
Giuseppe is from Calabria but fine-tuned his cooking abilities on luxury cruise liners before setting up shop in Bexley, right across from the university. In a cozy dining room outfitted with marble tables and a black-and-white checked floor, he treats folks to homemade, authentic southern and central Italian dishes. Although his cooking has plenty of soul, he also is a careful chef; thus, if there are cucumber slices in a salad, they're peeled and parboiled first, to tame their aggressive raw flavor and harmonize with the salad. And when he hits your taste buds with garlic, tomato and hot chili in the gamberi diavola, there's also a background of reduced fish stock and wine that sets the stage for its subtleties. It should go without saying that at a place like this even the filled pastas are made from scratch, as are countless other items. The dessert offerings include gelato, blueberry bread pudding and tiramisu.
