What People Are Saying About Giorgio

In Short – Three rooms offer bar seating, a dining room and a lounge. The northern Italian food is similarly rustic, but more casual. All the entrees are unlisted specials--such as duck, flank steak, trout, chicken and pork--and are finished with wine reductions or other flavorful sauces, enhanced with pungent notes such as lemon and Roquefort and nested on wilted spinach, sautéed peppers or another colorful vegetable. It purveys inexpensive pastas, focaccia pizzas and a garlicky Caesar.

LOVE it!
by mplsluv740
I think Giorgio's is the BEST italian in Minneapolis. Very authentic. Every dish I have tried has been excellent. I love their bread and calamari. They used to have a dish made with bucatini that was my favorite and they took it off the menu. I was disappointed because I could not find that kind of dish anywhere else. Bring back the bucatini!!! Bucatini or not, Giorgio's is still my favorite.
- Pros: Excellent, authentic italian

Authentic Italian
by ljbehrens
I went to dinner at this restaurant with a friend for his college Italian class a couple of years ago. We were there on a weeknight and were pretty much the only people in the restaurant. The menu was certainly a refreshing deviation from the kind of fake-Italian you'd see at your local Olive Garden. Our food was delicious and high quality. I recommend Giorgio's to anyone who wants to try REAL Italian dishes!!
- Pros: authentic Italian cuisine, timely service
- Cons: restaurant was empty

good food, weird service
by reit0102
I thought the food was great, but the service was odd, for lack of a better word. The waitress seemed very nervous and left in the middle of taking our order to answer the phone. Appetizers were cleared before they were finished. They ran out of to go boxes and could only offer tin foil to wrap up our left over pasta. Weird experience-it seemed like the food belonged in a different restaurant. There was a free bottle of wine with a bill over $30 which was a very nice.
- Pros: food
- Cons: experience
