                                                  Giorgio’s is a premiere Italian eatery, white-linen, fine dining, yet comfortable, simplistic, romantic, and the cuisine is excellent, and the service very attentive. I have dined at this establishment for more than 10 years, and although I am no longer a resident of South Orange, I continue to dine here whenever I’m feeling like Italian - one of the Best!

                                                  Smallish very classy white tablecloth establishment. Friendly knowledgeable wait staff. Had Portbello Mushroom and Mussels appetizers. Mussels were super tender. Mushrooms with salad was tender and sauced superbly. Our entries were chicken portifino, salmon and lamb chops. All were tender, seasoned beautifully, and cooked perfectly. We were very happy with everything. Desserts were pretty standard Italian restaurant fare but good quality. Overall a very good restaurant with a very big plus as a BYOB establishment.

The food was amazing… the veal dish was tender, perfectly crispy breading, deliciously stuffed with prosciutto and cheese topped with arugula, on top of al dente pasta with a very light Alfredo sauce. Yummy!

                                                  Lovely meal at Giorgio's before a show at SOPAC. Atmosphere is charming. We enjoyed a calamari appetizer and one linguine & clam dinner and another with their branzini special. Topped off dinner with 2 espressos and a tiramisu for dessert. They are a BYOB with wonderful classic Italian/Mediterranean fare. The service was great and we learned of their Tuesday Jazz nights which will surely bring us back.

                                                  Every time we visit our son at SHU we take him to Giorgio’s for dinner! Everyone remembers us now and the food is exceptional! We always look forward to going to Giorgio’s when we visit from NH.
