314-832-3779 | | | | | Description: SOUTH CITY. [Due to road construction, Giuseppe's is open for lunch only until sometime in 2009.] Serving hungry diners since 1974, Giuseppe's has grown to incorporate three neighboring storefronts and now commands its city block. Basic southern Italian dishes fill the menu, and the authentic recipes have been passed down through three incarnations of St. Louis restaurants. Appetizers like toasted ravioli and sauteed calamari give way to filling entrees like veal parmagiano, sauteed chicken livers with onions, and classic spaghetti and meatballs.
