Giorgio’s

A large group of us went there for dinner. Space is cramped but staff and food were really good and prices were reasonable.

Giorgio’s is a casual spot right on the SE 17^th Street Causeway featuring brick oven pizza and a home cooked Italian meal. The weather was cooperating and we sat outside to enjoy our meal.
We began with an insalata caprese which is really a simple yet delicious salad of tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil and olive oil. Giorgio’s adds roasted peppers to their insalata and for more flavor, I added a little balsamic and more olive oil. For dinner, I just needed simple, Italian comfort food and so enjoyed their Rigatoni Bolognese — rigatoni with their homemade Italian meat sauce along with a glass of Chianti. The Bolognese could have used a bit more seasoning, but overall, I was satisfied with the meal.
Giorgio’s offered a very filling meal with attentive service on a somewhat slow evening. I’m sure I’ll be back.

A friend of mine loves this place so I decided to try when my daughter came to visit. She had the penne ala vodka. Very disappointing. Bland, she said it seemed like a plain tomato sauce. I had the chicken parmigiana and it was only okay. I had far superior chicken parmigiana at Olive Garden. You get a roll each which didn’t seem fresh. Salad is extra charge and its not cheap. For the penne and chicken parmigiana that had a small side of pasta, two rolls and two glasses of water it was $ 31 and change. We went at 5:00 pm and the service was so slow. I realized after we finally got the check and I put my credit card to be paid that we would be there another hour so after about another 15 minutes with payment being ignored I left $ 40 cash so the waiter got a few dollars more than 20% tip for inadequate service and food we didn’t like. I won’t go back.

Love this place! Been driving up all the way from miami since i was a little girl. Amazing lunches and oversized dinner portions that will leave you full and satisfied! In the business myself and have to compliment their service-​5 stars!
Also deliver. Fort lauderdale italian lovers– you’re welcome!

Authentic Italian experience. Fresh rolls to start with. A nice glass of red wine. A pizza or lasagna — delicious ! The Cesar salad was awesome!

Really great pizza here, I really enjoy this restaurant and the service is exceptional. The restaurant has a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Definitely would recommend anyone who wants to have a nice and relaxing evening to come here

Ran into this place after a bad experience at another restaurant around the corner. Would recommend to anyone coming to Fort Lauderdale area.
Owners, well I think owners were very friendly. Made me feel right at home and welcomed me in.
Got a half prosciutto half cheese pizza was very good.

Very cold when delivered. Doughy and soggy in the middle, but burnt on the edges. I got pepperoni and olive but it was like a salt lick. The kalamata olives are too salty. Maybe a different olive would be better? I’ll try them again. Maybe it was a bad day with the oven.

Love love this little gem located on 17^th street causeway. It’s my go to lunch place with the girls. Today it was my friends bday and we decided to go here.
We were seated right away, lucky we got inside it was really hot out. They gave us menus with the specails and brought us fresh rosemary rolls wth homemade hummus. Yummy! I ordered one of the specials which was griiled swordfish on greens. The salad was very fresh with one of the best oil and vinger dressing I have had. My friend ordered the soup and sandwch special, it was beef lentil soup and tuna sandwich. She loved them both.
They have a full case of food which you can order for take out. They make some of the best milanese chicken or veal, served on salad or sandwich. They have pastas and pizza that everyone said is so awesome. I have had their crab cakes and scallops and both were amazing.
Now for dessert they are all homemade and they look and taste delish. They have wine and beer and plenty of soft drinks. The service is friendly and fast. They have limited parking so you may have to park in the back. Prices are a little above average but well worth it.

My family and I tried this restaurant on a whim. The food was delicious and the service was very good. I am definitely coming back here.

I thought I reviewed this place but can’t seem to find my review! Stopped by on a Friday night and they had 50% tapas and I was blown away. This is not a Pizza place (though their pizzas may be great) It is a fine Italian Restaurant! We ordered Bacon wrapped dates, Asparagus, Meatballs, Olives, Risotto Balls, and wine. Michael was our waiter and he was so much fun and really knew the menu and made amazing suggestions, great tips on the wine! I seriously enjoyed my food and the whole experience a 100% more than Anthony’s Runway 84! The after dinner drink a Lemon something was so perfect! Will be back for sure!

Food here is hit or miss. Scallops I had last time were great, but the meatballs I had a time before were very dry. I had pizza there a few times, it was ok, not the best not the worst I ever had. I would actually give the food 4 stars, but service is horrendous consistently!
Older gentlemen, who served us every time shouldn’t be a waiter! Any time you ask for anything, even if it’s the silverware he forgot, he acts like he’s doing you a huge favor. That’s your job dude! And last time he overcharged us!!! So make sure you check your bill before you pay it ;-)

Excellent! I come here often for lunch and have never been disappointed. Wine selection is not good but food will not disappoint!

What happened!!? I was there last month with the family and things have changed!
Two of our guests ordered chicken Marsala, never ever had it without mushrooms and the chicken was chewy and had the most disgusting taste!!!
The pizza was burnt. The soup was ok. The tiramisu was the only item that was consistent to other times we’ve been there.
Sad when we asked about the food, and the server said… We’ve got a couple of kinks in the kitchen now and we’re trying to get rid of them, and made a gesture as to insinuate needing a new kitchen staff. It’s bad when the servers recognize the kitchen isn’t up to par. We sincerely hope you get it back together Giorgio’s, we had many amazing meals there and used to recommend you to everyone!

Staying at a hotel. Wanted to get carry out. Hotel gave us 2 menus. One was this place. The guy on the phone was very nice. The driver called 5 minutes before getting here to let us know he would be here soon. So nice !
Food was really good. We got soup, sandwich, chicken Parm and a pizza. All really good. Best advice is unless you have a fridge be careful how much you order. The portions are huge.

Decent Italian place. Chicken parm sub was great and for a good price, the fresh bread was nice and warm, not sure what the dipping sauce is, tasted like half cheese and half hummus… and the service was severely lacking. Would try the pizza next time, it did look great.

Giorgio’s is as good as it gets. This is a spot where my family never fails to make it to when we are in the area. Not only is the food amazing but also the location could not be more convenient and easily accessible.
If you are willing to wait or happen to show up at a good time, you can get a table outside. The service is superb and matches the cuisine in perfection. My family always gets multiple entrees to split as we can never decide on one each. We also get a pizza or two to split with the table.
Small point but not to be overlooked… the bread. The bread on the table when you arrive is delicious and served with a flavorful humus spread that will give you the first taste of their amazing dinner.

We were here from out of town and at this establishment for three nights in a row. When you find something this good there’s really no reason to look for another place to eat. They call themselves a pizza oven but there was a modest menu of their other standard dishes and a few special items.
There were just a few waitstaff and they were very busy. We didn’t find our wait to be very long though and the few oversights that occurred were pleasantly corrected. There were a half a dozen tables in the interior and about as many outside. The automobile traffic didn’t detract too much from the ambience. The parking seemed adequate for the number of clientele. We walked there from our hotel.
I had grouper all three nights. The last two nights featured a linguine presentation with said grouper, clams and scallops. My daughter, a fussy eater, loved the pasta I shared from this dish. I didn’t poll the other diners but there weren’t any complaints. My wife said it was some of the best pizza she’s had. «The crust was perfect». For that matter everyone loved the rolls that accompanied our meals with not just butter but a delightful dollop of humus. Speculation was rampant about the origin of the subtitle spice accents of both. Finally, the Sauvignon Blanc they suggested was so tasty we bought a whole bottle. Please give them a try whether you’re at the hotels or a local.

Great little Italian spot right over the 17^th street bridge. Has a small outdoor area perfect for a cool night.
Before your meal you need to try their artichokes to go along with the bread and hummus. They are among the best I ever had.
For entrees I love splitting up a few dishes and ordering one of their amazing pizzas. Prosciutto pizza is among one of my favorite but you cannot go wrong with the blackened chicken pizza.
Highlight of our night: Arnold palmers. Fresh squeezed lemonade with passion fruit ice tea. Perfectly sweet and refreshing.

Though Giorgio’s is generally listed as a pizza place and sort of looks like it from the outside, it’s really so much more in having a complete menu of «beginnings» inclusive of Maryland Crab Cakes, Antipastos, mussels (in a saffron broth or a spicy red sauce), bruchettas and sea scallops along with wide array of «Entrée Salads,» «cold and hot board» sandwiches, pastas along with entrees of eggplant, veal, chicken or fish.
I went for their Caesar which came classically prepared and when I asked for anchovy; not a problem unlike so many other places that either don’t have them, won’t alter for them or only give you one or two but charge you way more as an extra than several cans full of them would cost at any grocery store.
For my main I went for the Snapper Livornese which came heaping in size covered with an abundance of linguini pasta, capers, mushrooms, onion, olive and marinara sauce.
My service was casual, friendly, accommodating and polite within what is a sort of a small friendly café atmosphere. Also, for being within a strip mall location, it has a small outside awning shaded patio like dining area.
Though I can’t say I that went crazy about the food, it was darn good and the friendly service as well as good atmosphere of the place were real pluses.
