Owners and staff welcoming and friendly, great service. Extensive menu, large portions. Love the appetizers. Their veal meals are my favorite. It's so tender you don't need a knife to cut it. Pizza is the best. So glad we found this diamond in Hopewell Junction.

We have found our "second home". True to the motto, "Visit as customers, leave as friends." we have eaten at Giardino Italiano for over 9 years. The food is delicious and served up with friendliness. It's a place you can go with your spouse after a long day and enjoy a meal, it's a place we bring our friends and family from out of town, and it's a great place for families with young children. The prices are competitive and the portions generous. Go! Mangia! Enjoy! And treat yourself to a Grandma slice....the best in the Hudson Valley!

Loved going here until I wanted to share a platter with my wife. We were a total of 5 sitting including our kids with 4 ordering. I asked server for a fork and she told me it would be an additional $4 because I did not order food. When I resisted she went and got owner who then told me he had bills to pay and I was occupying a seat. The dining area might have had another small group but there were at least 4-5 tables available. When we decided to get up and leave the owner was not concerned with losing our business. As we left I told him he would lose our business he said it was actually better for his business and would lose nothing. After going there over 5 years since we moved to area we were so disappointed. It was a very distasteful experience. Mind you during Covid we were loyal and purchased from his store frequently.

Cute little restaurant. Staff is really friendly easy to conversate with. I love the little paper place mats of Italy reminds me of all the good Italian restaurants I used to go to as a child and their food does not disappoint. One of the best pizza places in
I am from the bronx. Hard to find authentic good food and pizza. I just can not say enough good things. Im always treated like family because that's how Nino and the entire family and staff are !!! They make delicious food and delicious pizza. They will above and beyond to satisfy the customers. Totally love this place ? ❤

We ordered from here while at family’s house instead of cooking. We had it delivered. They came on time when they were supposed to. They were also friendly when placing the order. The pizza is just OK. The cheese pizza was very oily. The broccoli, rabe, sausage and roasted peppers was good. My issue is the broccoli rabe was bitter. The roasted peppers were tasty. Overall good experience, but not great.

Love Giardino !! Food seems to be fresher than other places. Haven't had a bad meal yet !! Have always had take-out/delivery.
I went today on a Friday evening! It was very busy and I just wanted to pick up my food and go because I had a long day at work and thought I was going to fall asleep waiting but it is worth the wait! Now I know why it was crazy busy! I would have to say this is the best pizza in Dutchess County! For awhile now I have been trying all the pizza restaurants in the area to find the best pizza and now I did!
Best rice balls! Great
