In 1959, Frank and Tina D’Ambrosio decided to start a new restaurant venture along with their “Paisans” Mario and Enza Volpe, after Frank had much success with his first restaurant, the original “Frankie, Johnnie, and Luigi Too! In Mountain View, CA. Named after a good friend of theirs, they opened the original “Giorgio’s” in the Foxworthy Shopping Center in San Jose, CA. One year later, cousins Anthony and Louise Dambruoso, affectionately known to the family as “Sash and Lou”, took control of the restaurant and ran it for the next eight years. Pictures and paintings of these folks still grace the walls of the establishment today. In 1968, Frank’s four sons assumed control of the restaurant and still own and operate it to this day. In 1997

Ohh man u looking for good Italian food but don’t want to go to maggiano or place restaurant here than come here. It has another sister restaurant called Frankie Johnny and Luigis. They have multiple locations. The food here is to die for always busy and packed every night. With a huge variety of appetizers and dishes to choose from. Let alone there pizzas and calzones with from scratch dough mixed with hand made pizza sauce mixed with fresh toppings. There so much to enjoy here and ull love the environment surrounding you. Staff is nice and friendly always professional even to doordasher waiting for orders. Let’s not forget to mention the straight out the oven bread rolls with there in-house garlic butter . Now I will say there no problems with ordering or getting ur food but in-between service is lacking for like refills or asking for more bread rolls but there extreamly busy. So this is forgiven since its not on purpose. So if ur near the area and ur hungry for some bomb Italian food come here you’ll be glad you did .

We just returned from dinner here (5th August, 2025). We were a group of 9 people with 6 adults and 3 kids. We waited for about 10 minutes to be seated. The hotel has decent ambiance and is in the midst of a good residential area. Even on a weekday, there were good number of people indicating the place is popular. Most of the crowd appeared to be families. It was a nice and safe place to dine in.
We ate only vegetarian food and there were good options for vegetarians. The food was served in good time. The portions were good and the taste was above average though not amazing.
Overall we enjoyed our time here.

I really enjoyed dining at Giorgio’s Italian Food and Pizzeria. I ordered a pepperoni pizza, chicken fettuccine alfredo, and garlic bread, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. The pizza had a nicely baked crust with generous toppings, and the pasta was creamy and well seasoned. Garlic bread came out warm and full of flavor. The staff were polite and welcoming, checking in without being overbearing. Seating was comfortable and the atmosphere felt relaxed and family friendly. Waiting time was reasonable even during a busy hour. Parking in the plaza was convenient. Prices felt fair for the portion sizes and quality.

We held our company Christmas party at Giorgio’s this year and they did not let us down. Food was excellent as always.
We had a great experience thanks to our waiter, Dev. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. His recommendations were spot-on, and he checked in just the right amount. Service like this really makes a difference—thank you!

0 stars across the board, only 1 star since it required for the review.
Ordered take out from here in the past and never had any issues until tonight. Ordered a large margarita pizza and upon getting it home, saw that it has cilantro on top of it instead of basil. Tasted it too just to confirm it was in fact cilantro.
Called the restaurant to inform them of the mistake and the Assistant Manager Jose answers the phone, he proceeds to argue saying that it is basil and not cilantro. It was also close to closing (20 minutes) so they were not going to make another pizza and he claims they would take care of it tomorrow, whatever that means and ends the call.
Call back again to see if they can do the refund over the phone, he’s still adamant it’s basil and not cilantro and Jose just hangs up. So I drive down there fast before they can close up and throw their incorrect pizza on the counter in front of Jose. He responds with I don’t want to deal with this and I’m like is this not cilantro?
I tell him just to process the refund for this nasty pizza so I can get out of their zoo of a restaurant and get food elsewhere. A younger employee from the kitchen even confirmed it was cilantro.
The pizza also took forever and was overcooked on top of having cilantro on it. A traditional margarita pizza always has basil on it.
I know they won’t care but Giorgio’s has lost a customer this day, never have encountered such an unprofessional, immature manager as Jose, one that argues with, hangs up and wouldn’t resolve an issue courtesy of their mistake initially until I was down there, where he had no choice but to refund the pizza. Thanks for ruining dinner and wasting 30 minutes of my time with your subpar service and food.
And Jose if you see this I attached photos of basil and cilantro since you have a hard time identifying the difference between the two.

Great food, good service. Plenty of seats to sit comfortably. Sausage bread was amazing! I ordered pasta and had a couple drinks. $45. Well worth the money, would recommend.

Lunch for 4 on a Saturday on the covered patio.
No wait for a table. Easy, covered parking in their lot.
George, our server, was friendly and attentive but had a lot of tables by himself.
Deliciously cold Prosecco was the right way to start.
Overall, the food was good! The traditional Caesar salad was our least favorite. Just too simple, bland.
Bruschetta was nice and the sautéed mushrooms in cream sauce were great with their fresh bread!
New York style lasagna was big and flavorful but seems assembled to order and is a different textural experience than the traditional lasagna. We would order it again!
Chicken Parm was generous and the spinach in aglió e olio was a great touch. Definitely would order it again.
Cheese pizza had a crisp, light crust and came out hot and cheesy.
Next visit will be to the bar for cocktails!

Giorgio’s?! Where have you been all my life?! I’m angry I didn’t know about you sooner?! 33 years living in San Jose & the closest thing to good Italian/American food I’ve had is Original Joes! Samson’s review describes this place perfectly. Idk what authentic Italian food tastes like but I do know good & bad food/service. (I’ve been in the restaurant business for over 16 years) The dishes here are packed with flavor. The service is spot on. I ordered takeout. Even though the restaurant had a full house, the gentlemen at the takeout counter were polite & nice. They did a good job. When I walked in, I could immediately tell this isn’t a chain, hellscape restaurant like Samson mentioned in his review. Which I GREATLY appreciated. It’s a lively, comfy joint. You’ve gained a regular Giorgio’s. Keep up the good work! Shout out to the chef’s doing the Lord’s work!!!
