Went on a Wednesday evening 7:30pm. Very nice atmosphere. Staff are experienced and very attentive. Great food. Relaxing. Will go again soon. Update: we came back again this time with friends and we met more of the staff including the owner Adele. We tried new dishes and deserts. Everything has been wonderful. This is a special group of people making excellent food. We’re excited to be back with more friends soon. Thank you.

I called to place a to go order on a Saturday at 6:30 at the end of April 2026 and I was denied the order saying that they were too busy for takeout orders. So this review isn’t about the food. I hope it’s great. But the idea that you’re too busy for a takeout order seems a little odd and it left a bad taste so I really don’t even wanna try the place now in person or to go.

My wife and I went to Giordano's in early March 2026 for her birthday dinner. What a pleasant and even outstanding experience! The meals we ordered were excellent. What was so exquisite, though, was the service. Our order was promptly taken and our appetizer promptly served. Just before our meals were served, the appetizer dishes were removed. Once our meals were done, those dishes were removed. During the meal, when our water glasses were half full, they were promptly refilled. This occurred repeatedly (we just finished a 5-mile hike in Spur Cross). After our meal was over, a woman stopped by to ask how everything was. We told her what a delicious dinner we had and how the service was so fantastic. She thanked us and said she trained the staff herself. Then we learned we were talking with Adele Giordano, the owner! It is so unusual to have such outstanding service and to actually meet the person who made it all happen. I highly recommend this restaurant. It was on the upper end of our budget but very much worth it.

This was our first time going here. We did so as this restaurant is a ‘fave' Italian place around. They've been in business for 21 years and the place was packed. The food was delicious! I would HIGHLY recommend the cannelloni. Enjoy

This is one of our favorite family-owned restaurants in the area. The food is always perfectly prepared and beautifully served, and the staff is gracious, helpful, and always friendly. They usually have specials; take advantage of them if you can! They have a good wine list and serve other alcohol too, so it is easy to find something for everyone.

Food was pretty good. Unfortunately, my veal was tough and hard to cut.. The flavor was great though!

Ingredients was excellent but too much sauce and no layers for Lasagna. Same for the manicotti.

It's always a pleasure to dine at this longtime family-owned Italian restaurant, tucked away in Carefree. The food is delicious and the experience is like coming home.

I had the Pollo Fricassee along with Chianti. It was a superb meal, and our waiter always had an eye on us, while busily serving other tables. It's easy to carry on a conversation, sound level wise. Table cloths, waiters all dressed in black, a preferred business casual dress code and true Italian ambience. This is a hidden gem.
We haven't been to Giordano's in a while and we weren't sure what to expect? Well, good service, good atmosphere, good drinks & very good food! It was worth it, we will be back. Thank you Giordano's for keeping your fine restaurant so good!

The food was lovely. Cute little place. Nice and clean and nice ambiance. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. So close to home will definitely be going back soon!!

Traditional east coast Italian..Extensive menu with all the favorites, including dishes not commonly available. Classic Italian music and favorite crooners in the background. Nice upscale Sonoroan style ambiance. Everything we had was excellent, including the cocktails and wine. Definitely will visit again!

Giordano's is our favorite restaurant. The service is excellent and the food is always very good and consistent. It's also like walking in to a little Italian trattoria.

Best Italian cuisine you will not be disappointed. Started with lightly battered calamari which followed by escargot in a garlic butter sauce both dishes were delicious . The Veal Marsala was nicely pounded and the Marsala sauce was delectable. My guest had Veal Piccata also delicious. You can't go wrong with any item on the extensive menu. The ambiance and background music make your feel like like you are dining in Little Italy. Give it a try you will be deliciously delighted.
