                                                  The food was basic, more of a local staple if you will. The owner needs to hire more staff since he was doubling as a waiter and chatting with everyone. He seemed oblivious to attention protocols.

                                                  Food was outstanding. They are able to 'customize' dishes to meet specific needs with no problem. Will clearly come back soon.

                                                  Found Giorgio’s by chance when looking for a restaurant to celebrate our son’s graduation. Turned out to be excellent. From the hands-on service from the owner ( thank you Anthony), live entertainment, and the broad selection of menu items. Overall the food was great. Giorgio’s has been family owned for more than 30 years and you can tell that they take real pride in their hospitality and making you feel at home. I also noticed there were a lot of regular customers, which tells you it is a place that brings you back. Even though we are more than an hour away, we will definitely make our way back again.

                                                  we had such a lovely night out. The portions were generous without being obscene. The staff was so friendly. We were so pleased and will come back.
