Giorgio On Pine

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Philly. You'll definitely need a reservation. They tend to book up quickly. The sweet potato gnocchi is to die for! It's so creamy, flavorful, and just melts in your mouth. They also provide complimentary fresh bread and olive oil, which is rare in Philly! The atmosphere is cute, quaint, and has a European feel. The staff is also very attentive and helpful. You will not be disappointed in the food. Highly recommend.

The place was packed. People seemed happy & in celebratory moods. Food came quick. I just didn't really like it all that much. Everything was very underseasoned. The service was prompt & friendly, but oddly robotic. This will be one & done for me. My opinion seems to be in the minority though. ( 2 stars from me +1 because others seemed to like it)

I've gone here probably 3-4 times and each time it's just a disappointment. The spicy pasting with seafood lacks flavor, but I was told the lobster ravioli are good. After the times I've been here and been disappointed, I can't say that I would be interested in going back to try more food.

Came here for a birthday party and will say this is definitely on my short list for other larger parties in the future! BYOB option is always a move, and you can't go wrong with a good red with the food served here. Their bread comes with garlic confit, which was such an amazing pairing! I ended up getting the sweet potato gnocchi and I might have fallen in love a bit with the chewiness of the gnocchi paired with the creamy sauce. It's safe to say everyone in the dinner party thoroughly enjoyed their meal and vibed were excellent throughout the restaurant. 10/10 experience!

Time and time again, this place never disappoints. The service is always incredible, the food is always delicious and the experience is always memorable. I've dined here at least 5x and everything stays consistent.I took my dad here for his birthday and he is still raving about the food and how great Giorgio was. We ordered the mussels and clams as our app and that may have been the best thing I ate that night. The broth was we made with cognac and cream. A bit of sweetness and absolutely addicting. I wanted to soak all the bread in that sauce.We both ordered the specials for our entree. I got the branzino and my dad got the Parmesan crusted pork chop. My branzino was cooked perfectly, was light and packed a lot of flavors. My dad's pork chop was enormous and rich with flavor. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu which never disappoints.This is a great restaurant and one of the best in Philly. It is always a full house, tight and loud so keep that in mind. If that environment is not for you, do take out! Highly recommend this place!

One of the weirdest Italian restaurants I've been in a while. This place has such good reviews I was totally caught off guard when I took my first bite of pasta. We came here with a group of 5 in the evening, and all ordered a different dish. The lady explained the "special of the day" - which actually had about 4-5 different options. I think most of us got something from the special of the day menu which included:1. White sauce seafood pasta 2. Red sauce seafood pasta 3. Some type of gnocchi And then others ordered a vodka sauce pasta and some red meat dish with potato which I think are from the regular menu. My pasta was overcooked, mushy, and flavorless. Whoever was cooking my pasta might have dozed off and then woke up forgetting if they even seasoned the dish or not. There was barely any seafood (they also don't look fresh). For the price they charged, you'd expect to have more seafood. I tried some of the other dishes as well and they all tasted very underwhelming. Maybe our mistake was ordering from the special of the day menu instead of regular. However, my dish was so mediocre I would not come back again and risk having another disappointing experience.

Amazing food! They usually have three specials that are all creative and delicious. We love that it's BYOB and that they provide ice buckets for wine you bring. Definitely recommend getting a reservation in advance because it's a small place and it fills up quickly. It can feel a little cramped inside with the tables so close together, it's hard to move around to the bathroom and you're usually back to back with other patrons. The service can be pretty slow, we've sat and watched people who came in after us get bread and salads before we even got waters. The food makes up for everything though, it's so fresh and yummy.

Giorgio on Pine was AMAZING! This was some of the best Italian food i've tried in the city. I went with a basic spaghetti a la vodka while my partner went with one of the specials: lobster ravioli. Both of them were to die for. The appetizers were okay. We had the sausage and calamari. The service was also just okay. It's pretty cramped in there and not at all intimate. Because of this, I could tell that the waitress was flustered trying to get to everyone in the room. Overall, the food was great and it is definitely worth it to go, but not for something that's intimate-- definitely good for a friend group gathering.

FOODWe ordered the sweet potato gnocchi and the gnocchi a la vodka. The servings were humungous, and there was definitely space to take food home for the next day. The sweet potato gnocchi itself was very chewy and decadent, but the sauce was admittedly on the blander side than what I would have expected it to be. I also emphasize the decadent part heavily, as a third way through, I had to bring the rest home.The gnocchi a la vodka (off-menu item) was to die for. The sauce was the perfect ratio of tart and creamy, and it's a dish I'd definitely return to next time.SERVICEThe service was FANTASTIC. We had a reservation for 8:30pm and had to wait an extra 45 minutes. Nevertheless, the host and Giorgio himself checked in on all the parties waiting outside frequently. The waitstaff were also so kind and friendly.The prices outside the storefront and online do not match the prices listed on the menu inside. Besides desserts which have been raised a dollar, all other items have been raised ~$3-5 per dish. Despite the listed $18.75 gnocchi dishes outside the storefront and online, the price was actually $22. All desserts increased to ~$8.00-8.50.AMBIANCEThe atmosphere is so warm and cozy, it felt like I was having dinner at a friend's or family's house. You can see people visiting to celebrate all kinds of things-- whether it's a date night, family get-togethers, corporate dinners, and more. At least during dinnertimes, the place is always packed-- weekday or weekend, and reservations are a must.PARKINGPaid street parking is available at a limited capacity.

Giorgio's is a great reminder of old-school Italian restaurant consistent food every time fabulous service no rushing you out the door.So glad we returned. We haven't been back in quite some time tonight we start off with grilled sweet sausage very flavorful combination of sausage with mozzarella over what looks like spinach leaves.For our main courses, my wife had the linguine and clams and absolutely devoured them, and I had to veal with spinach .Review was very tender I accompany him by the spinach and roasted potatoes all in all really good meal
