Giorgio’s is a true hidden gem of South Orange. I have been coming here for 24 years and it never disappoints. Everything about the restaurant is perfect and I guarantee it will become your new favorite spot!

Love this place. We’ve been coming here since we moved to the area 8 years ago. They’ve hosted our first baby shower and my parents birthday party. The food is excellent, I’m partial to the chicken Marsala and chicken francese. They also do a nut free pesto on request which is huge for nut allergy people like myself. The owners and staff are great, and the vibe inside is even better now that they’ve refreshed the place. Go! Bring your family!

Giorgio's in SO is fantastic! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was outstanding. It is a family owned establishment with professional service. It's also BYOB which is a huge plus. Anthony was great! We will be back!

Moved to South Orange less than 2 years ago and this has become our go-to local Italian place. Husband and I love it for date nights. Everything we’ve tried on the menu has been awesome and you can’t beat the family-owned and ran service. Anthony (son of Giorgio) is just the kindest and the best, always making sure everyone has what they need and helping however he can. Great food + kind, hard working people + BYO policy = the best. Also love the recent upgrades!!

Giorgio’s is a must-visit, family operated, Italian restaurant. All - from the owners to the waiters - go out of their way to make you feel like you’re part of the family. Every dish is handmade to order and truly special. While dining, one of the guests at another table was heard raving about his order to the owner, exclaiming how it was better than some of the authentic restaurants in Italy he had visited. Truly a not-to-miss experience!

My first time at this establishment and definitely not the last. A nice, family-owned restaurant with a great atmosphere and such kindness and professionalism from all the staff, from the hostess to the owner himself. The service was super quick with great quality food. At some point, the owner, Anthony, even came himself to ask about our experience and even took the time just to chat! He told us they were undergoing renovations, so I’ll definitely come again soon to check it out!My friend and I ate ordered the Fried Calamari, the soup of the day (New England Clam Chowder), the Tortollimi Porcini Mushrooms (with chicken), the Veal Principesa, and for dessert, the Tiramisu and the Crème Brûlée. All were above average without a doubt!
My husband and I recently went to dinner here right before going to SOPAC . The food was EXCELLENT! I had the rainbow trout special. The fish was very fresh, the wild rice was amazing and the vegetables were delicious. It was a healthy portion and so flavorful. My husband had the chicken and prosciutto special which he absolutely loved. We had Portabella mushroom as an appetizer, which was also perfectly prepared. The waiter was pleasant and the bus boy was spectacular! He filled my water every time it got low, I drink a lot of water and appreciate that. I highly recommend this place. It was a little pricey but worth it for the quality of food.
Giorgio’s is my favorite place to go to when my family comes to town! Being at Seton Hall, this restaurant has been a perfect place to go to and I’ve always had good experiences for my past 4 years here. The owners have been so helpful every time I’m there and we always look forward to seeing each other! Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area! Also they’ve recently opened up for lunch which has been a great alternative to the dining hall food.

I’ve been here dozens of times with my family and friends and it’s always a top-of-the-line experience. The food is high quality and delicious, and it’s always an enjoyable evening when we come here. This is the go-to place for us. We’ve even had several events hosted here and the restaurant owners always go above and beyond to accommodate and make it a very enjoyable experience!

I’ve been coming to Giorgio’s for years and it has NEVER disappointed. Best quality Italian food (get the chicken parm and Alfredo tortellini), best atmosphere, and best family owned business hands down. Their party room is perfect for big gatherings and their restaurant is equally perfect for quiet intimate dinners. 10/10 ??

Amazing experience here! Family owned so there is a personal touch to your dining experience! Waiters/waitresses are all super nice and friendly, and provide insight and knowledge on the menu items. Owners come around on occasion and make sure everything is going well and up to their high standards. Their new lunch hours have been super convenient. Dinner is always a upscale vibe with a friendly atmosphere!
