In 1959, Frank and Tina D'Ambrosio decided to start a new restaurant venture along with their "Paisans" Mario and Enza Volpe, after Frank had much success with his first restaurant, the original "Frankie, Johnnie, and Luigi Too! In Mountain View, CA. Named after a good friend of theirs, they opened the original "Giorgio's" in the Foxworthy Shopping Center in San Jose, CA. One year later, cousins Anthony and Louise Dambruoso, affectionately known to the family as "Sash and Lou", took control of the restaurant and ran it for the next eight years. Pictures and paintings of these folks still grace the walls of the establishment today. In 1968, Frank's four sons assumed control of the restaurant and still own and operate it to this day. In 1997 they opened a second location in Milpitas, CA, where they still offer the highest standard of quality food, service, and value to their customers. Bon Appetit!!

Unfortunately the good food was overwhelmed by the poor service and poor management. Unlikely to return.

One entrée came cold so we sent it back to be reheated. Also, it was an eggplant parmigiana but was dry. There was no marinara described in the menu.

We were seated immediately. The server and bus person came to check on our group immediately. They knew from the start this was my wife's birthday. We had time constraints for the evening and the server made sure to get our order on the spot. He got five orders done quickly and efficiently. He was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu, both adult and children. First he brought the salads, soups and child meal in minutes. He brought out the food with another server with a minute after we finished the soup and salad. The server doted over my 93 year old mother. That impressed me no end. Great family atmosphere. Delicious food with big portions. Incredible desserts as well. Don't miss out on this fabulous restaurant.

Giorgio’s has been a family favorite for decades; I’m glad to have introduced this long time restaurant to the next generation, and they enjoy eating there. Will continue to consider Giorgio’s a “go to” as long as the quality and service continue as they have for decades!
