I’ve came here a handful of times and always come out in a great mood. Almost all the time I’ve came, Alexa was my server. She’s a very nice and excellent person, and does a great job every time I’ve dined there. Overall one of the best restaurants in Palmdale. Great service and atmosphere in my opinion.

We are locals, we try to support our mom and pop restaurants. We have not been here in a while. Authentic Italian food. I had pasta primavera, my spouse had chicken fettuccine, anti-pasta salads, and a garden pizza. They have an extensive wine cellar and a full bar. If you are in the area, visit this place!!!! Service was slow, a reality of many mom and pops today. The prices are reasonable. Portions are generous. And the cheese bread is a treat!

Food and service where great. I had chicken fetic alphrato. Sorry i cannt spell it

Very good food, however, I must have chosen the wrong night to dine there. They have a long history in the Antelope Valley but tonight they more than missed the mark. The hostess seated both of us at a table where we sat and sat and sat some more. With apologies, after waiting approximately 25 minutes, the hostess brought us some water and garlic bread assuring us that our server would be there shortly. Ten minutes or so passed as we nibbled on the delicious warm garlic bread and our server appeared and apologized for the wait. We immediately placed our order for two cocktails, an appetizer and an entre to share. Next we received one of the two cocktails and was asked about what brand we wanted for the second one. Later the appetizer arrived and I waited patiently for my cocktail which eventually arrived. We finally were served our entre which was more than excellent, the Chicken Pancetta. We finished what we could eat and waited to secure the bill so we could leave. We were finally successful in getting the bill but having the opportunity to pay was another issue and finally, exhausted, and tired I went to the cashier to pay. The server was there and handled the transaction. I felt bad for her as she was given a large table in a private room with a bunch of people who wanted separate checks. None the less, that wasn't my problem but the restaurant's issue. In frustration I asked if there was a manager to speak with and was advised in concert, by several employees, that there wasn't a manager there and that they were not allowed to give out his information. I didn't ask for his personal number and was surprised that his name and the phone number of the restaurant were carefully guarded secrets. Eventually one of the other servers intervened and offered to allow me to talk to the manager of the kitchen who later sent word that he wasn't able to offer any compensation. I never asked for anything. I really just wanted to be sure that management was aware of the failure of the staff to see that there was a problem in the service and find out where the issue was. I left after the hostess announced that she didn't know what the problem was that I was complaining about. That comment was beyond insulting as she had personally witnessed the delay and intervened and attempted to mitigate the wait by pouring two glasses of water. Frustrated I left after explaining that I wasn't looking for any type of compensation. I was well aware of the reputation of the restaurant including their history with Barone's and didn't want to leave the place without letting someone know of the failure this evening. Please note, I paid my bill in full, I left approximately 22% gratuity for the server and simply wanted the restaurant to step up to the plate and acknowledge an issue that certainly needed not to be repeated. The food is excellent but tonight was certainly not indicative of the reputation that has kept them in business in this community for years.

Food was really good. A real Italian taste.

• The restaurant is larger than expected, with excellent food and very large portions. 😋🤤👍 Our waitress was excellent as well. 💯👏😊

After the 25 to 30 minute wait to be seated, In an all but empty restaurant, they did have One large group party me and my wife placed our orders. She ordered some chicken Alfredo. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. She ordered soup with hers, her soup was like water and I believe that water would’ve had more flavor very disappointing. Her entrée from the looks of it had been sitting on the counter, waiting for pick up dry cold didn’t look fresh and the bottom of my plate of spaghetti and meatballs, a cup of water From the pasta, not appealing not to mention the gravy and meatballs on top was also not appealing entire experience, cost us the best part of $100 money well spent for a lesson learned. The staff were very pleasant, but staff usually does that when they know they’re not up to snuff as a restaurant I’ll give this restaurant a two star only because of the staff.

Everything was so good, we ordered take out twice while in town!! That ice cream though… I can’t wait to be in the area again, would definitely recommend and return.

I ate at Gino’s Palmdale and it was terrible pasta dish, yuck . Last night I went to the Lancaster location, though I would give it a second chance. What a shame, very disappointed. How does this restaurant stay in business? Cheese Pizza Poor crust quality hard unevenly cooked. The bottom of crust was peeling off. Gross!!! Bland and off-tasting , very light sauce lacks flavor. Inadequate cheese barely covered crust. Awful taste and texture. Huge disappointment. Overall disappointment. Pizza was not worth the price large cheese $27 . Will never , never eat here again. Would not recommend this restaurant.

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.

The BEST Italian food in AV, one of the best in LA County without a doubt!!

Daily fresh made pasta and sauces and ingredients! So delicious! I have been sampling the menu here for a year and am still so excited to try new dishes that I may normally never order somewhere else!

The vodka sauce is addicting, the marina is so full of flavor and sweetness, the prawns are cooked perfectly, the pasta is cooked Perfectly!

Best pizza in AV

The staff here are like a family and the love can be tasted in the food.

This is a higher end restaurant with a pristine and professional setting, but the prices are Very reasonable for the quality of the food and service.

Very nice (calm) live music to dine to on weekend nights (not sure about the schedule) but if you get lucky - Enjoy!

Gino’s is a hidden treasure that is producing fantastic Italian food and service.

You would be remiss to not discover this spot.
