Gino's Italian Restaurant - Palmdale

This restaurant came recommended by a few people I know. I was in a group of 12 and the waitstaff were very accommodating. The restaurant is large and tastefully decorated. I felt very comfortable in their dining room and that made for a good dining experience.The lunch menu is huge. It was hard to choose since everything seemed appetizing. I ordered the eight ounce sirloin steak with Tuscan potatoes and asparagus from their special lunch menu. I also had a side salad for an additional cost. The portions are large for lunch. The steak was a baseball cut sirloin which I ordered medium rare. It came out rare to medium rare which is good. The steak was seasoned well and flavorful but could have been more tender as it was slightly chewy. The side salad was fresh with a topping of grated cheese. It came with balsamic vinegar only as the dressing. This was sharply acidic without an oil to temper the vinegar. The Tuscan potatoes were very rosemary forward in seasoning and needed a good sprinkling of salt to balance the flavors. The asparagus were slightly over in cook time but okay flavor wise. All in all, I still felt I had an adequate, satisfying lunch despite the flaws. The price point for the steak meal was a good value at $19.95. The garlic bread, however, was excellent and came with dishes of bolognese and marinara sauces for dipping. Both sauces were flavorful and definitely would be good over pasta. The garlic bread is the winner here. This restaurant is worth another visit if I am in the area again. The waitstaff provided friendly and efficient exemplary service.

zero zero zero!!!unprofessional staff rude!terrible service!!they use a cheap cheese for pizza!dominos better

I had major surgery on Fri. On Sat, I was released from the hospital. My son ordered 2 plates of sausage/rotelli, 2 lasagnas and the garlic bread.He had it delivered w/grubhub.I couldn't figure out why it was so much $ until I looked at the receipt.The lasagnas weren't included in the delivery.I called Ginos and mind you I was in extreme pain. I asked if Grubhub forgot the lasagna? They said, no, we have it here.We forgot to give it to them. I said, can you have that delivered. They said no. I asked why and they said, because you have to pick it up now. I said, I am in excruciating pain and I can't drive.Anthony, the owner said there's nothing I can do about that. I said, can you have grubhub, deliver it? He said nope can't do that. You have to cancel or pick it up. I said it's not my grubhub. I don't know how to do this. I'm in pain. He said, I don't know what to tell you. I said this is effing ridiculous. He said, oh, you want a curse you don't get anything and hung up on me. Very rude! I didn't even want Ginos Every time I eat there the food is horrible including this time. I only took a small bite. Really my son didn't realize I was supposed to eat bland. To Anthony, Learn some manners, to be humble, and some kindness. And from what italian to another supposed italian... Learn to cook italian food properly. This stuff was horrible. I am very disappointed. My son called and took care of the grubhub problem. He then ordered Panera. I will be putting this on every review for Ginos.

This review is only for their pizza! They were super busy when I got there to pick up my order so maybe their other dishes are more special than their pizza. I expected a better crust & better cheese with fresh ingredients, especially for the price; but honestly it tasted like a super basic pizza that you can get a chain pizza place like dominoes. Also the wait is long to get your food. The workers were nice and attentive

My family has been going to Gino's (started at the original location on Challenger) since I was in elementary school. I now have a 16 year old daughter and Gino's is still a family fave! Great food, great people, great value. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The bruschetta appetizer and carbonara pasta are 2 of my fave dishes. Don't sleep on this place. Support local!

Gino's is always fantastic dining. From the exceptional service to the delightfully delicious food, Gino's is the perfect place for a fantastic dining experience. Their bruschetta is always fresh, and abolsolute devine. The family size antipasto salad with their homemade Italian dressing is by far one of my favorite salads in the Antelope Valley. My girls love their bolognes e, my husband is all about the canzone, and for me it's the eggplant parmeasan. The restaurant has a calming, romantic ambiance with comfortable booths. There aren't enough words to truly express what a gem this establishment is.

We visited on Tuesday evening for dinner with a party of four and it was a very nice experience. We arrive and were immediately seated in a spacious booth, and drink orders were taken.We started with a Caesars Salad, Calamari, and the complimentary garlic bread. All were well prepared and tasty. From there we went with entrees; Rotelli Rustica, Chicken Pancetta, Lasagna, and Linguini with Spicy Blackened Shrimp. The meals were delicious with very large portions. The linguini could have used a couple more shrimp.The highlight was the service. Michelle was friendly, prompt, and professional. You could not ask for more in a server, give her a raise! Overall, an excellent place for Italian fare.

My family has been eating at Gino's for decades! I moved away and recently came home to visit. Of course the first thing I want to do is visit Gino's! So I went with my family for lunch today, 2/17/24 at 12pm.Our waitress was great. The food was good. Unfortunately, one waitress who was the server for the table behind us, ruined the experience. Suddenly in the middle of lunch the waitress yells "use your words" speaking to a young lady at the table behind us. The waitress went on and on and on about her rant to the family. She was loud. Unprofessional. And such a bad look for the establishment with how she was dressed, how she carried herself, and especially with her bull hook looking nose ring (septum piercing). Further more, the ambiance has really gone down hill. The wine has gone down hill too, they used to have such a fine collection of wine to buy from. The women's bathroom looked pretty rough.So sad. This used to be the place to go back in the day. I guess as the Antelope Valley continues to go down hill, so goes some of the best restaurants with it. It's all really too bad.Save your time and visit the Gino's in Lancaster.Sincerely,A very disappointed loyal Gino's customer.

Olman gave phenomenal service! The food was delicious! The restaurant is family friendly and gives an authentic Italian vibe, the ambiance is warm and welcoming. This is by far probably one of the best restaurants in the AV! Highly recommend.

Our Italian family had our Christmas lunch at Ginos, best choice ever, Anthony our waiter was the best, the menu was awesome so many choices, glad we went, I really think this is our go to restaurant from now onThank you Ginos.
