    Swordfish
    Laura P.

    The food was fabulous. I went with three girlfriends for dinner two of us had the salmon and 2 had the swordfish. It was delicious. Our waiter Scott couldn't have been nicer. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we could've asked for the ambience was so nice. We got there when they opened at 4 PM because they do close from 3 to 4. There was nobody else there when we got there so the service was beyond reproach, but even when other people arrived Scott couldn't have been nicer to us we also got the tiramisu and spumoni they actually cut the spumoni into four equal pieces which was very nice. I highly recommend going there. Just a delicious meal and overall great service and ambience.

    Bruschetta

    One of the few nice restaurants in PV, very nice staff and clientele too! We ordered the veal and butternut squash raviolis. Delicious, we enjoyed every bite. They give you warm bread and bruschetta to start too! Cannot go wrong.

    Giorgio's made my evening! My wife and I had relatives visiting from Italy and I wanted to treat them with a great seafood dinner, and it was great! The branzino, salmon, shrimps, calamari, the pasta...everything was prepared and cooked to perfection, and the staff and ambiance was awesome! My nephew is still complimenting me for a great choice. Thank you Giorgio's!

    We have been coming to Giorgio's for years and years and years, way back when they used to be up the street from The Red Onion, before the fire in 2010. We used to go all the time before kids, and then, well, kids. I'm not entirely sure why we don't go consistently because, gosh darn, the food and service is always fantastic! I'm also not sure why it has taken me so long to write a very, very well deserved and much overdue review. The wife and I squeezed in a somewhat last minute date night after checking out The Hula Hula Room (new Tiki Bar in Torrance!) on Opening Day this week so we were two Tiki drinks in and feelin' good (read: no kids...I'M KIDDING!) which, I'm sure, had nothing to do with how much we enjoyed our evening. We decided on Giorgio's for our rare date night because it is near home, ALWAYS consistently delicious and accessible (we just walked in and a table was quickly made up for us). I was comforted by the fact that they were actually quite busy on a Wednesday night. I wasn't surprised, really, because it's so good and has certainly become an institution on the hill after decades of earning that status. The people dining that night seemed to be older regulars which I always like to see. I do think the younger set tends to go for flashier Italian joints like Primo's down the hill with its beautiful dining room or the cutely appointed Avenue Italy (decent food but the service was always terrible) but at Giorgio's, the food, even if not the decor, clearly shines. Now, there's nothing wrong with the decor at Giorgio's; it is simple, clean and cozy, like that of a Ristorante you'd actually find in Italy. I do miss, however, the old school Italian decor they had when they were across Silve Spur. I can still picture the wife and I sunk into the red leather booths set in the stark white dining room decorated with columns and statues. It definitely had character. Oh, and how we miss the elegant beehived bartender, Gay, always dressed to the nines and full of conversation. ANYWAY...you really can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. On this visit, we shared an exquisite Veal Parm ($27.95 including delicious veggies and roasted potatoes) and I felt compelled to go off menu and order Spaghetti Carbonara (probably priced around the other pastas around $20-$22). Do yourself a favor and follow my lead. That dish was INCREDIBLE and just like Carbonaras we enjoyed in Italy this past summer. And I don't mess around; I thoroughly search out the very best places for authentic cuisine when we travel. I'm telling you, this was THE BOMB. And really, the Veal Parm was solid as well. We had planned to take leftovers home for the kids...but there wasn't a single morsel left. Do remember, Chef Carlo Borelli will whip up anything you're craving. All you have to do is ask. Frankly, I'm surprised that a dish as good as the Carbonara isn't a staple on the menu. I do recall that they used to have like a three item sampler on the menu before. And they'll still make that up for you, too, as I did a year or so ago. The Chicken Marco Polo (now a still fair $23.95 on its own) was my favorite part of the Trio Sampler and is a superb chicken dish, "sautéed with onions, artichokes, roasted red bell peppers in a cream sauce flamed with sherry wine." A long time ago, dinners used to include soup or salad (their house dressing is amazing) and a side of pasta. It was a great deal and one I miss. I liked the old school way of including those extras and I like fair prices. Prices now are pretty fair and considerably less than the competition. For instance, they have a $35 ribeye steak, which is probably the most expensive thing on the menu. I don't know anywhere around where you can get a good steak at that price. Wines on the menu are also fairly priced. With a $50 bottle of Justin Cabernet (their most expensive on the menu and quite tasty) and 2 entrees, our bill for 2 came to $120 including tip. The service is always great and quick. We always love it when Giorgio (Carlo's son) himself waits on us and we also loved his bro who looks just like me (!!) and used to work there, too, a looong time ago but the rest of the staff is friendly and efficient, too. I'm sad to hear of nearby Mama Terrano's closing, but while I enjoyed it once or twice over the years, the wife was newer a fan so we always came back to Giorgio's. Giorgio's is a family run family restaurant and absolutely deserves your patronage. Remember you can order anything you'd like Carlo to make for you. Craving a hamburger? I bet he'd even whip that up for you in a jiffy. Here's a little article written up a few years ago that you might like reading: https://easyreadernews.com/return-giorgios-profile/

    Tonight we went to Giorgio's for my best friend Nicole's birthday, the food was delicious along with the wine that was paired perfectly with our dinner. The service was incredibly slow, our server was not attentive and ignored us during our dinner experience. He was more attentive to his other guest and never asked how our dinner was going, we had to ask for everything we needed. The restaurant was busy so I understand as I have been a waitress myself things can be chaotic. I was not happy with the service as I saw other servers being attentive with their guest. The ambiance is great and I do recommend coming here for a nice Italian dinner. I will give Giorgio's another chance , I would have given a 5 star rating but I'm giving it a 4/3 due to lack of service.

    The food was amazingly good. The ambiance was very nice. Like a country restaurant. Food came quickly. Parking on the street was easy. Staff was okay. All in all a nice experience. I would recommend this spot.

There's a real chew here--a springy, structured bite that gives just enough resistance before yielding. It's deeply satisfying and makes every dish feel more intentional. The cappelloni shows it off best: that almost-famous sauce wraps around each piece, but the pasta holds its own, so you get that perfect balance of silky and structured. Same with the tangiello--the meat sauce tastes like it's been simmering for days, rich and layered, but the noodles never get lost because that chew carries through. The Caesar isn't an afterthought either. It's got a subtle spicy kick that wakes everything up, and if you add chicken, it's done right--well-seasoned, nicely grilled, juicy with a bit of char. It turns a classic into something you actually remember. Dinner is where things go a little heartier, and the pork chop delivers. Fall-off-the-bone tender, but still full of flavor--not just soft for the sake of it. Jame just gets the fundamentals right, then pushes a little further. Thoughtful, textured, and the kind of place where even the chew of the pasta becomes part of the experience.

The sauce was well balanced and wispy. I usually don't like olives, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the olives here. I think it had to do with the fact that these olives were marinated, not brined. I don't like briny stuff. The Tonnarelli was the highlight of the meal. The sauce was thick and creamy, and coated the pasta nicely. The pasta was cooked al dente, making it perfectly firm and chewy. For my drink, I had the Light and Stormy mocktail which had lemon, ginger, lime, and mint in it. It was slightly carbonated and tasted like a really good virgin mojito. I would say the service here was good, not great. It took like 10 minutes for a server to come to us after we were seated to take our order. However, our server was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu items. Parking here was tricky. There were lots of reserved parking spaces on the lot for specific businesses. You may get lucky finding an open parking spot on site, but we had to drive around to find one. This place is a nice spot for family gatherings. I think we will be back soon to try out more items from the menu.

I'm guessing since they're coming to a permanent closure, it only makes sense that the quality of the experience (food and service) had began to going down.

It wasn't too bad since the wait gave us the opp to decide on apps and mains, so we got to put all our orders in at once. CALAMARI: Battered thin and crispy. Dash of lemon juice made it better. Quality? Yes. Quantity? Not so much. I thought it was pricey for the amount we got. PEPPERCORN POLPETTINE: Meatballs in cream sauce. Even with the whole peppercorns, the sauce was good. The meatballs, however, didn't taste or look homemade at all. (I recently made frozen meatball soup at home and the meatball's flavor was pretty much similar.) So.. meh... BRUSCHETTA ALLA CHECCA: This was the best app out of the three. Crostini was perfect and the toppings were all perfectly balanced. SPAGHETTI AI NERO DI SEPPIA: Looked great, but lacked flavor. Asked for fresh grated cheese and added black pepper which helped a little, but still missing something... Hubbers got the linguine pesca mare which he loved (he emptied his plate!) So I guess that says a lot. And I'm really glad he liked it, being his birthday and all. He also chose crème brûlée to finish off his birthday treat.
