    Really great space with a nicely varied menu at fair prices. Both our dishes were pretty heavy on the garlic, but very tasty. The only thing that needs to be tightened up is getting entrees delivered to entire tables at the same time.

    When deciding on this restaurant, I read the reviews - most are very good and typically, some are over the top negative. I will say that there are some accurate comments, but you have to sift through them for the truth. The food tasted delicious but the portions are on the small side when compared to a typical Italian restaurant. The decor is very nice and comfortable but on a cold night you could really feel it every time the door was opened. Our server was pleasant at all times and very prompt early on but then disappeared for 15 minutes when we had finished our meals. Overall we enjoyed Giordinos and will certainly return again to enjoy the delicious food.

    This dining experience was wonderful. We had three in our party and everyone enjoyed their food. The eggplant parmesan was excellent and we loved the cookie gelato for dessert. The service was great...we had a very special server...very attentive and very personable. I highly recommend Giardino's and will definitely be back soon.

    The zucchini frites and tiramisu were the BEST!! We ordered the salmon on a bed of roasted vegetables were were fresh and flavorful. My husband ordered a fish special. Both entrees were delicious and creative. Our server answered all our questions and suggested the fish special and found some moscato at the bar. She was very personable. We will definitely be back.

    The food was great! They need to work a bit on their timing. The salads came and we barely started when the entrees were given as well. The appetizer came at the same time as our meal. However the dishes we tried were delicious and we will be coming back

    My daughter had the pizza and said it was pretty good, I had the Chicken Parmigiana and it was meh. It took a while to get served, once we ordered the food came out pretty quick.
