Il Giorgione

Tonight I went out with a friend, and we wanted to do something fancy. So we chose this little Italian place! Cute place, cute outdoor seating! Food was all presented so beautifully! Menu could honestly explain more of what comes with your dish, a lot items that could use more of an explanation. I only gave 3 stars, because my food was excellent, but I have a dairy allergy. All the pasta contains dairy and cheese within the sauces. Super inconvenient to someone with an allergy. Only thing I could find was the $48 steak. That’s almost too much for what was on my plate. Just a steak and handful of mushrooms. I’d come again, but possibly hope they get some dairy free options for next visit!

This is not a write-off review; I've heard such good things about this place that it definitely deserves a second chance, so I will be back and update the review afterward. I visited on Sunday and was promptly seated for brunch. I had a Peach Bellini that was very sharp and sparkling - there was no table bread, which I understand is a very chain restaurant thing, so I was okay with that. I ordered the Patate alla Carbonara, which came very quickly, and I was sadly disappointed and left wishing I'd ordered the purgatory eggs instead. Some of my issues might have been just "me" things, which is part of what makes me want to try again. I've never had anything Carbonara, so I was surprised and repulsed by the meat. It appeared like thick cuts of bacon (though I know it's not) but it was very gristly and the aftertaste made me ill. The potato chunks were fork tender but seasoned only with pepper - it might have made the dish more appealing and complex in texture to have left some of the skin on them. They may have been seasoned with salt also, but the carbonara and the Romano cheese have their own, therefore combined together this was actually an overwhelming amount and each bite ended up tasting like pure sodium and made my heart palpitate like crazy. I had a side of red pepper flakes brought to the table which did help make the flavor more complex, but it was still so grotesquely oversalted that I couldn't finish what I ordered. My husband had the Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Rapini and was not impressed, thinking it too bland. Again, we added the pepper flakes and some Romano cheese, but with his it came together very beautifully afterward. He stated he wouldn't get it again but when I tasted it, I thought it was wonderfully light, not bland. Just a disappointing portion size for $14. We had the tiramisu before leaving, which was lovely. It didn't have a lot of formed ladyfinger bits at the bottom, but it was very nice. Over all, we spent $53 (excluding tip) and weren't in love with what we got, but we are willing to come back and try again at dinner, which seems to be the meal course they get the best reviews for.

Just done brunch , a full house ! Had the pizza calabrese ( spicy salami) and rigatoni al dorata.. top notch dishes, service and vibe ! Old post: Second visit post new owners.Doing a great job, also on social media side, wine and dinner events, etc . We had a Thai curry mussel soup.. fantastic, followed by the dishes in pics attached..cod was great if small, pizza requested to add anchovy ( more next time please) and could have been a few more seconds in the oven .. overall very enjoyable . Cannoli for dessert ( there was one, so really cannolo), elevated from the previous offering of 2 smaller ones . Ricotta filling was a bit heavy on almond flavor and crust a bit light and wafery v crispy / crunchy, but will have again . Sat at the bar, great crew ! Looking forward to next trip, hopefully on the patio ! Older post : First visit after take over by new owner. It was an elevated experience for sure, menu additions, table ware, etc . Outstanding mushroom soup ( bread would be good ), and rabbit / rice stuffed peppers, a really well prepared dish . ( could have been a tad hotter).We sat outside on patio, and this is one area that could be added to the upgrades, poor lighting, a bit run down and untidy . Summers coming !
