I wanted to try their food so bad! My friend and I had reservations for 11/1 and when we walked in the host told us they have an event and we can sit if we find available table. Why would you accept reservations if it is special event and not have people have nice relaxing, siting dinner. We ended up going to Hampton Social which was amazing! This place disappointed!

Extremely disappointing meal - my wife had been here before and really wanted to go back for her birthday. I made the reservation and noted online it was her birthday, I also called ahead before we came in and reminded them it was her birthday. Fast forward to the meal, they were sold out of our first two choices of appetizers so the third choice we had we ordered - it was extremely salty. We sent it back and they were very apologetic about it. We then ordered our meal and it took 45 minutes to come out, in that time nobody came up to us to explain what the hold up was or apologize for the delay. The cacio e Pepe was very watery- to be honest the $3 bag from Trader Joe’s is better. We the ordered a dessert and there was no mention of my wife’s birthday. The check them came and both appetizers and the dessert were on the check. I pointed out that I sent back the first dessert and that nobody acknowledged her birthday and they apologized yet again only to bring something complimentary after we had already finished and paid for a dessert. Overall this was very disappointing for a meal my wife was very much looking forward to and I was excited to try.

Extraordinary Service and our Server I would definitely recommend Michael D. He is so fun. He is a very good recommender for food. If you don’t know what you want. For this amazing restaurant from Fabio Viviani he is very kind he is mostly at this restaurant and if you want to see me he will gladly take a photo with you.
The food was delicious and everyone was so hospitable. Beautiful place. Juan is amazing

My wife and I came here and we have never put a review online for any restaurant. This was the BEST dining experience we have ever had from the food, atmosphere, and service. I have never tasted risotto that delicious and the toffee pudding is delightful. We will be returning very soon!

Went out with my wife to have a night out and got here, they said they put us in the waiting list. Never called back. Thanks. We spend the night at Mago, really nice place, delicious food and great service.

What a great find! The food was absolutely delicious — super fresh and full of flavor. The octopus, roasted beets salad and the cast iron focaccia was addictive.
The vibe is cozy and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. You can tell they really care about what they do. Perfect place for a relaxed dinner or date night.
Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!!! Thank you!
This was our first visit to Giostra, and our experience was fantastic! From the minute we walked in the atmosphere was classy and relaxing with a cool theme. As far as service, Cara our server, was kind, attentive and accommodating! The busboys were also engaging and saw after our every need. To add to that the Assistant GM, Edgar also came to our table and spent time with us, explaining the theme, and new venue’s upcoming with live jazz music as well. All in all, would highly recommend Giostra’s and will be visiting again!

Was looking for a nice restaurant for a date night with my husband. He chose Giostra because he thought it was a good place. While the restaurant is nice and the service was ok, the food however was lacking. Might I make a couple of suggestions. If you have a large party, designate a room for that party. We expected a nice quiet evening and next thing we know we have a party of teens who were quite loud. My next suggestion is season the food and don't over cook it. Our food was over cooked and was extremely bland. Will not return.

Service and food were great. Although it is pricey. But the food quality was very good.
