Summer at Giuseppe and the Lion… 🍕🎶🇮🇹

Guest Blog

Benvenuti to Giuseppe’s Table — our Guest Blog!


As we officially welcome summer, we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible start we’ve had. June brought with it an amazing buzz of energy — and if you joined us for dinner or one of our new Free Music nights, thank you.


We decided to try something new with live entertainment… and wow, did Naples respond. Full voices, full hearts and very full appetites!


And here’s the best part — we’re only just getting started.


July brings over 15 free shows, from the return of Jive Talkin’ (a Bee Gees tribute) to a brand-new show by The Night Owls, plus beloved regulars like Neil Zirconia, Aura, Manhattan Connection and The Garden State Players. Whether you’re into rock, funk, classics or Sinatra-style swing — it’s all here and it’s all yours.

Now, throughout June we’ve had a few guests ask us how our free entertainment works — so let us take a moment to share a little more with you:



Regular Events: Free or Ticketed - Your Choice


All our regular entertainment events are free to attend. Just make a dinner reservation — that’s it. No entertainment fee on your check, no surprises, just great live music with your meal.

Now, some have asked: “But why do I see tickets available for free shows?”

Well, here’s the scoop:

Tickets are completely optional and they’re for those who want a little something extra — like securing a specific table, booth or front row seat in advance. And here’s the best part: that ticket includes your first drink on us — whether that’s a 9oz glass of wine, a draft or bottled beer, one of our signature cocktails, or a soft drink.

Tickets usually run $10–$15 and if you’re planning on having a drink anyway… well, it’s almost like the ticket pays for itself.

We think of it as the smoothest way to enjoy your night — guaranteed seat, your favorite drink in hand and not a care in the world.

You can browse and book any of our upcoming events (free or ticketed) here: tickets.giuseppeandlion.com



But Let's Talk About the Food...


While the stage keeps buzzing with great performances, the kitchen’s just as busy — and July has some truly delicious moments ahead.

Let’s take a look at the specials we’ve lined up for you — from pizza nights to pork perfection, National Tequila Day and more. Bring your appetite... it’s going to be a great month.


🍕 Pizza Mondays


Starting July 7th, every Monday evening means one thing: Buy One, Get One Free Pizza. Order any regular pizza and get a second one (of equal or lesser value) on us.

All day from 4 PM to close — dine-in only. Perfect for sharing with friends… or not sharing at all 🤣.




Pork Perfection – July 6th & 13th


Our chefs have been sharpening their knives for this one. Two special Sunday's (July 6th & 13th) featuring three signature pork dishes:

Pork Ossobuco / Pork Chop Milanese / Pork Chop Toscana = Each just $25 — hearty, flavorful and made with a whole lot of pride.


National Tequila Day – July 24th


Raise a glass (or a few). We’re serving $10 tequila cocktails all night long — from classic Margaritas to our Mango Tango Tequila Sunrise and more.

Plus we have live music with Aura on! Yes, it’s as fun as it sounds. Bring your friends and have a fantastic Thursday Night!


National Lasagna Day – July 29th


Our famous 5-layer lasagna — fresh pasta, slow-cooked meat sauce, creamy ricotta, mozzarella — all for just $12.

We know this will be an incredibly busy day, so we will make sure to be on hand with extra staff and make sure the service runs as smoothly as possible! Let's also not forget live music by Manhattan Connection from 6 PM that night


Lastly, we are also very proud to have our official Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting on July 16th at 2 PM. We’ll have light refreshments, gift bags and yes — a little live music too. It would be brilliant to see you on the day and we can't wait to continue to serve and grow with this community. 

With gratitude and excitement,
