Giardino D'oro

Great food, exceptional service and a taste of old school New York. We had an amazing celebratory dinner and would suggest this place to everyone who wants a great, friendly and professional dining experience. Highly recommended and a wonderful evening for the entire group.

First time at this quaint downtown Italian restaurant. Hidden at 5 Gold St, I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. The waitstaff was all dressed professionally and the place reminded me of a restaurant from the past. Pristine white tablecloths, professional table settings, & a detailed menu with everything your stomach might desire. I'm gluten free so I enjoyed the olive and cheese plate. I also had a delicious organic salad as an appetizer. My main course was salmon. I would have opted for a sauce on side, but did not ask. I was not crazy about the salmon but in an Italian restaurant I should have opted for gf pasta but was not in the mood. Dessert was tartufo and very enjoyable. I was with a very big party. If I had to make any adjustment I thought the main courses portions were small.Other than that service, food, & ambiance were all on point. I would dine there again.

Top notch FiDI Italian restaurant that delivers on all fronts. Overall setting creates an ambiance that appeases requirements for an elegant but traditional Italian setting. Food - everything from appetizers to main dish delivers with tasteful traditional and fusion flavors. Lamb chops were cooked perfectly with spinach to complement. Drinks are delicious and robust while wine selection is adequate to meet all taste buds. Only subpar item were desserts, which did not deliver and lacked the punch expected. Service was amazing and added the key value to make a special night. Recommend for any occasion.

Hello fellas your foodie yelp reviewer Susan here! Today my family and I stopped at GiardinoD'oro which is a gem downtown manhattan. I ordered the prosciutto platter which came with Burrata, basil, tomatoes, and grilled peppers. Absolutely delicious. The main courses we ordered included penne, à la vodka with grilled chicken, homemade parpadelle with Bolognese, chilean Seabass with mushrooms, asparagus and arugula, salad with tomatoes, onions, feta cheese, and slices of almonds. All the food here was SPECTACULAR . I highly recommend. Lighting and music soothing and service was exceptional. And let's not forget the wine, very delicious Cabernet. And lastly, there is parking in every corner. You know what time it is! Happy Hour - your foodie yelper Susan

Had a delicious meal at giardino d'oro recently - food was delicious with high-quality ingredients, and the service was friendly! I came with a larger group (the bottom floor has quite a few large tables) and had the opportunity to try a wide variety of dishes. Some of my favorites included the caprese with Prosciutto (I believe it was a daily special), the carbonara, truffle risotto (another daily special), and the lightly fried calamari.It can be quite expensive though, so I would recommend it for a special occasion or a business dinner.

Located A few blocks from our hotel, where we had dinner. For appetizers, we had the antipasta, the prosciutto and burattaand calamari all were delicious. Colleagues had dishes from veal Osso Buco, T-bone, steak,fresh pasta and lobster. Dishes were delicious. Presentation was awesome and the ambience was very nice. Service was superb. A long list of delicious wines. We ordered red Cabernet dessert. We had Terry Massu, which was also delicious excellent service and great restaurant. We will be back.

Hey ! - want to feel special even though most likely your mother is the only one that thinks you are ??? lol jk ( come to this place) :). Honestly the food was delicious , I had the Branzino filet (with white wine and capers ) delish ! What was also next level was the bolognese pasta dish ! Our service was excellent because of a gentleman named Benny . He was attentive and his recommendations were spot on. This is a gem if you want an old school Italian vibe with amazing food and service . It's not cheap but totally worth it - if I was an Italian gangster in the 60's this is where I would want to be killed after I finished my bolognese . Not Rao's :) Also don't sleep on the desert and espresso martini ( very very good )

This is such a wonderful restaurant. One of my colleagues has been going to Giardino D'oro's for over 20 years and he had brought me to this restaurant for dinner one evening on a Thursday night at around 5:00 P.M. We were one of the first customers inside. As soon as we were greeted, it felt like we were family at Giardino D'oro. We sat at one of the tables on the first level. The team member whom was assisting us provided us waters immediately and went over the specials on the menu. There was so many delicious items to choose from! It was difficult!The ambiance of this restaurant is nice. It's a great spot for a special occasion. After reviewing the menu we had ordered the followingAppetizer:Eggplant Rolatine: Rolled with prosciutto & fontina served in a light pink sauce $14.50Salad special: Parmesan, tomatoes Entrees:Spaghetti ala Carbonara $28.95Veal Chop served with roasted potato $48.00Dessert: CheesecakeAll of the food was delicious! My colleague enjoyed the eggplant rolatine and the salad was scrumptious! I had the Spaghetti ala carbonara and it was quite different than a carbonara I would get at other restaurants. It had onions in it, but it was still phenomenal! I ended up eating the entire dish! The cheesecake was good. We spent about an hour and a half at the restaurant. The experience was wonderful! Too bad there is not a Giardino D'oro in Las Vegas!

Have been twice & will definitely RETURN! Cozy without being stuffy. Modern without being sterile. Excellent food & service.Price is competitive, not "out of this world", being that it's located in NYC & specifically in FD/Wall St.Sauces were spectacular. Pasta was al dente, (Carbonara), fresh mozzarella was so very fresh & perfectly accompanied. Dessert was Italian (of course) cheesecake & it was really scrumptious. Cappuccino with dessert was luscious, hot, frothy!Highly recommend this wonderful spot!

Waited 15 minutes for a drink with only two other tables full in restaraunt.Left my entree uneaten after two bites - it wasn't as menu described.Tourist trap dump.
