What a great place to meet family or friends for a really nice dining experience.
Giornale's emphasis seems to be on food sharing, but they also offer main dishes that are you free to enjoy all by yourself. On my visit I met up with some colleagues for dinner and we decided to go for the sharing approach. There are a lot of nice menu options to choose from if you go this route, so get out there and explore! Definitely start with the antipasti board. It contains a nice selection of different salamis and prosciutto ,as well as several different types of cheeses - including one that is spicy and another that is "drunken" (infused with wine). It also includes some baby pickles and Mediterranean vegetables. Delicious!
We also tried the beef tenderloin with mushrooms and a red wine sauce for dipping. Cooked perfectly, these little cuts of beef almost dissolve in your mouth. The lamb chops are also a very good choice and come with tzatziki and tomato. Finally, be sure to try the beef stew - it tasted amazing.
We added a small salad and fries to nibble on while we enjoyed all these dishes.
For dessert, I had the chocolate cake/mousse/ice cream combo. If you are a chocolate lover then this is your choice for dessert. You won't be disappointed.
Service was good - our server was nice and had our food and wine out pretty quickly. My only recommendation to them is to improve on their cocktail selection. They promote a bar that offers wine, specialty beers and liqueurs - but when I asked about cocktails they only had Mojitos to offer me. Fortunately, I love Mojitos so it was a win - but for someone who is seeking something different they may be disappointed. Maybe this is something that will improve over time.
Overall, a really nice experience. I love the relaxed atmosphere here and the food is very good. I highly recommend it! read more
