Exceptional dinner last night for a friend's birthday! Maddy was the BEST server, the food was delicious, and patio seating with the view cannot be beat. Do not skip dessert - the tiramisu left us speechless! We will be thinking about this meal (and Mr. Parmesan) for a long time!

Came here for the first time today, and everything was fantastic! Ambience outside was very nice, music was great and the shades outside provide the perfect amount of relief from the sun. I had the special the “Cajun Alfredo” and it was delicious. Lainey was our waitress, and she was very kind did an amazing job. Overall 10/10 experience.

This locally-owned place never misses! The staff are always so welcoming and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable. And the view from the patio is truly iconic. It’s also perfectly heated in the winter and has romantic lighting. (Say hi to Parmesan, the patio cat!) And don’t get me started on the food! Everything is extremely fairly priced for the authentic quality they offer. I’ve never had a dish I didn’t love here, but the chicken piccata is my favorite. Whether it’s a date night or dining with family from out of town, Giardino is the place to be.

Visiting from out of town and this place was better than I could have expected. Fantastic service. Food was delectable. We made reservations and were seated on arrival. We had the cheese board, split and entry and a refreshing cocktail. We even ordered a dessert to go. All this in less than an hour. We were never rushed and everyone was pleasant and personable. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good Italian restaurant.

This is a total surprise- in a good way. The food is delicious and wonderfully presented. They stay busy and there’s great reasons behind that. It’s not a fast service because everything is obviously cooked with care. My Chicken Parmesan was the best I’ve ever had. We sat outside and the view is expansive. Go here. You won’t be disappointed.

I’d been here for lunch a while back and sat in the patio. Nice spot to sit at sunset. This time I was there for dinner with friends. Our server Bry was great. The entire staff was fabulous. Our food was delish!!! Two of us had the burrata risotto and I have to say it was one of the best risottos I’ve ever had. One had spaghetti and meatballs and my husband had chicken parm. He loved it. I’d definitely go back and I’d definitely recommend it. I think the only negative is that the interior is a bit dated but that’s not a deal breaker.
