Financial District

About the restaurant

Nestled away on winding Gold Street in Manhattan's venerable Financial District, Giardino D'Oro is indeed a golden garden as its name translates. All that is charming about Italy comes to life as co-owners Benny Jakupaj and Nick Vuli welcome even newcomers with open arms. At Giardino D'Oro, food is indeed art with the fine Italian cuisine replete with antipasti, fresh rolled pastas, exquisite meat and seafood dishes, mouth-watering desserts, and an extensive wine list. Attentive yet discreet service in an intimate setting with strains of Sinatra softly crooning in the background set the scene for power lunches as well as romance.

Highly recommend as it’s a top 5 restaurant in NYC in my book. One of the only places in NY to have a killer pasta menu and steak menu. Highly recommend the empanadas, Fettuccini with argentine langoustines in pink sauce, and one of the steaks, ideally their skirt steaks with grilled onions and peppers. Chimichurri with the bread tops it all off.

Made a last minute reservation for Spes and found the restaurant empty. Ambiance was incredible, food was delicious, and the service (Andy) was first class. Could not recommend this spot more. Hidden gem in the East Village!

I liked this restaurant for a number of reasons. The decor and ambiance were super charming. The menu was expansive, they had something for everyone in my party of 10. They accommodated my daughter’s food allergies really well, and the service and food were excellent. Thanks for a memorable meal!

WENT for a weekday lunch where hardly anyone else was there and we so enjoyed the quiet. And the waitstaff of two really took great care of us. Our first time there for lunch as we had been there a few times before for dinner. Food was delicious as always.

This is such a cute, cozy neighborhood spot. The food was great, they had someone playing guitar which was lovely. My parents are very picky but I would bring them here b/c the food is good especially for the price. Drinks are good as well. I will definitely be coming back here.

We were greeted warmly and led to a comfortable and cozy spot not far from the fireplace. Our party of three had plenty of space for ourselves and our work bags. It was 4:30, so it was still quiet, and we enjoyed a cocktail hour together before heading downstairs to dinner.
