Da Giorgio

“Had an amazing experience at Da Giorgio. The food is incredible and is the real deal authentic Calabrian cuisine. Everything tasted fresh and homemade and the desserts were insanely good. The service was fantastic from start to finish the ambiance is perfect small, romantic, and very welcoming. Definitely one of those places you can’t wait to go back to!”

“I had an absolutely incredible experience at Da Giorgio. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and truly makes you feel right at home. The chef and owner went above and beyond with their kindness, which made the entire experience even more special. And the food? Simply out of this world. Every bite tasted so authentic, it honestly felt like I was transported straight back to Italy. A huge shoutout to Sal, our waiter, who was AMAZING! So kind, attentive, and on top of everything without ever being overbearing. His service really elevated the whole evening. If you’re looking for outstanding food, heartfelt hospitality, and an unforgettable dining experience, this place is a must. I can’t wait to come back!”

“Go for the reviews - leave shaking your head saying “those reviews were on-point”. The only annoying part, and not worth deducting even 1/4 of a star, is the pushy “ we need your entire order right away because everything is made to order” jargon. They do it to speed you along as you can’t get your apps until you order your main meal. But even with that and not having a reserved table ready on time - this place is 100% worthy of ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”

“Da Giorgio’s – A Hidden Gem of Italian Excellence in New Rochelle! Walking into Da Giorgio in New Rochelle feels like stepping through a portal straight to Southern Italy. Tucked unassumingly in a modest strip mall on Quaker Ridge Road, this small, cozy restaurant immediately wraps you in warmth and old-world charm. It’s intimate — seating just about 45 guests — making it feel like you’ve been personally invited into Chef Giorgio’s own kitchen. The food? Absolutely outstanding. Every dish at Da Giorgio’s bursts with authenticity and passion, a direct reflection of Chef Giorgio Giacinto’s Calabrian roots and formal training in Italy. You can taste the dedication to fresh, high-quality ingredients in every bite. We started our meal with their Stuffed Meatball Calabrese, a hearty masterpiece packed with beef, veal, pork, and oozing with house-made mozzarella. It was rich, tender, and seasoned to perfection. For the pasta course, the Squid Ink Spaghetti with Crab was a showstopper — the handmade pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sweet crab meat married beautifully with the deep, briny flavor of the squid ink. A must-try! Then came the Rigatoni Da Giorgio, featuring luscious filet mignon cubes bathing in a decadent cognac sauce. The flavors were bold yet refined, and the portion generous without being overwhelming. Specials change daily based on what’s freshest, and judging by the perfection of every plate, I have no doubt you could close your eyes and pick anything off the menu and leave thrilled. Service at Da Giorgio is equally spectacular. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food they’re serving. You can feel the pride they have in the restaurant — and they’re quick to offer fantastic wine pairings and recommend house favorites. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming — candlelit tables, soft Italian music in the background, and an inviting, unpretentious atmosphere that lets the food be the true star of the evening. In short: Da Giorgio is a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic, soulful Italian dining experience. It’s the kind of restaurant where you savor every bite and start planning your next visit before you even leave the table. Make a reservation — because once you eat here, you’ll understand why it’s become a local legend.”

“Hands down the best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. Georgie knows what he is doing back in that kitchen. His staff is super attentive, informative and kind. We were greeted with a smile and they never left a dirty or empty dish on our table. The grandmas chicken is off the charts. The steak was fantastic. We also had baked clams and fried calamari with peppers. Everything was unbelievable. I will be coming here weekly from now on!”
