" I really wanted to love Giardino after all the buzz, but I found the food to be hit or miss. I ordered the lasagna, which was good but nothing spectacular. The flavors were nice and the portions were generous. Unfortunately, I felt that the service was a bit lacking; it took quite a while for us to receive our orders. The outdoor area is lovely, especially at sunset, but the food did not have that authentic punch I was looking for. Not sure if I would return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Giardino has some of the freshest Italian dishes I’ve tasted in a while! I loved how they balanced traditional flavors with a modern twist. However, I must say the portions were smaller than I expected for the price. I enjoyed my meal overall, especially the seafood dishes, which were incredible! The service stood out as well; everyone was friendly and attentive to every detail. Would definitely recommend for a quality dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I highly recommend Giardino if you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine! My friends and I had dinner there last week, and we were blown away! The veal marsala was melt-in-your-mouth good, and I loved the homemade pasta. Service was top-notch; the servers were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it perfect for group dining. We will certainly be back for another round soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I walked into Giardino, I was captivated by the charming decor and an inviting ambiance. The menu had a great variety, and I settled on the traditional lasagna. It was rich, hearty, and bursting with flavor! The service was impeccable; our waiter was knowledgeable and made great wine pairing suggestions. As we dined, the sunset cast a warm glow over the patio, enhancing our experience. I highly recommend trying their tiramisu, which is one of the best I’ve ever tasted! Definitely a place I’ll visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard lots of good things about Giardino, and I was eager to check it out. While the food was certainly good, I was expecting a more authentic taste. I tried the spaghetti bolognese but found the sauce a bit on the sweeter side than what I’m used to. They really do know how to create a nice atmosphere, with soft lighting and lively chatter, making it a pleasant dining experience. If you’re in the area, it's worth a shot, but I might stick to the more traditional dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing dining experience at Giardino! The staff were incredibly kind and really took their time to explain the menu. I ordered their Caprese salad to start and it was like a little piece of heaven, so fresh! For the main course, I tried the shrimp and polenta dish recommended by the server. It was light yet filling. I ended my meal with a slice of their cheesecake, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. The atmosphere is also very inviting, with a lovely view from the patio. I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Giardino was a nostalgic trip back to Italy! The caprese salad was brighter than the sunshine, with fresh mozzarella that was so good. For my entree, I enjoyed the mushroom risotto; creamy and delicious! Service was prompt, though at times felt a little rushed. I’m glad we persevered, as it ended up being a lovely meal. I’ll likely return more for lunch next time. " (*Curated Review*)
