Giuliano’s Italian Restaurant

One of my favorite things to do is to visit a good lunch buffet. Going to Giuliano’s in Jacksonville, Florida is a real treat. I must admit that I am a regular to Giuliano’s before I start this review. My first experience was with the lunch buffet in the spring of 2009. Since then I have ordered pizza as a take out and have had the buffet many times. Now on the last visit to Giuliano’s in October of 09 I once again had the lunch buffet. On this day they offered a fresh salad with iceburg lettuce, small tomatoes, peppers, cheeses, and various dressings. There are always two options for pizza (this day was pepperoni and tomato and cheese). There is something different that they do to the pizza there, something that makes their pizza one of the best you will have.
On the main part of the buffet you will find different options each day. This particular day was chicken marsala, chicken parmesan, lasagna, and a crab fettuccini. The wait staff was very helpful and kept our drinks filled. So much to the point I had to let them know that I was done with my drink. The reason that I say them is that the staff seemed to share the duties and we did not have one server only. They (the servers) also kept us stocked with fresh bread and oil for the dipping.
Giuliano’s is a wonderful and quaint restaurant that is tucked away in a strip mall. The restaurant offers a little bar that is not actually in the dining area. Then to the other side of the bar is a little wine and gourmet shop. The lighting is dark and some may say romantic in the dining side of Giuliano’s. There is always great Italian music playing softly and the smell of the great things to come out of the kitchen. The men’s room is clean and large. The rest of the restaurant is also clean and again, the staff is wonderful. Do not be surprised if the manager comes to your table to ask if everything is going well.
So, if you find yourself traveling on I-95 in Jacksonville, Florida you need to exit off of onto Baymeadows then go East to the corner of Baymeadows and Southside. You will find Giuliano’s in the in the corner of the shopping center on the right, before Southside. They are open 11 am until 10 pm. They do offer take out, catering as well as delivery. You can also check them out on the web www.thegiulianosjax.net
