Giorgio On Pine — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Ughhh I just can't rave enough, the question is what do I not have to say?? Nothing negative that's for sure. First and foremost no matter how god or bad the food if the customer service isn't good then nothing else matters. Gorgio excelled at both, phenomenal. People walked around, spoke to us, checked up on us, they were patient in telling us about the food and the specials, which I appreciated. The appetizers were phenomenal and the entrees even better. The only thing is that the place is very, very small. For me it wasn't such a big deal but if you aren't a fan of that open concept or being able to see each and every table so close then I would keep that in mind the quality of the food soon had me forgetting these minor details. We very much enjoyed the grilled salad(I was skeptical at first, all I could hear was Gordon Ramsay's voice) and the amazing burrata cheese with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and tomatoes. The parmesan crusted pork chop was so tender and juicy it melted in my mouth and they paired it PERFECTLY with well seasoned potatoes and spinach. I still drool thinking about it. My friend loved the gluten free parmesan crusted chicken and pasta as well as the GF bread options. Of course I made room for dessert with the phenomenal and delicious cannoli ,no matter how full you always make room for a good cannoli!! And let me tell you .. that paired with the amazing cappuccino they made for me (talented I say, talented!!) it ended the night on a fabulous note that left me smiling and giving my thanks. Gorgio on pine is doing everything right and I hope this continues, tasting what I did that night, I have no doubt I'll be back!!.

Absolutely awesome! As a patient at Jefferson Hospital for the recent past, I was BEYOND SICK of hospital food. My husband and I decided we could order date night dinner & try to make the most of the situation. I checked out some of the surrounding restaurants and knew the moment I saw Giorgio’s menu that we would be fans. We ordered the rigatoni w/sausage (red sauce) and the INCREDIBLE ribeye (medium rare) and we’re so glad we did. Everything from the care taken by the staff to ensure our order was not only correct, But also fulfilled our needs with plenty of bread, napkins, utensils, they even offered to cut our ribeye so we didn’t have to try to in the hospital room with plastic knives or outright going savage on the steak- they went Above and beyond good service practices. Now how were the flavors of what we ordered? DELICIOUS! I was impressed that the flavors of the Rigatoni dish; the perfect flavor created by the caramelization of the onions and peppers didn’t disappear even as it had to sit in containers while enroute to my room- and wait for us to get the food before we were able to take our first bites. The steak (was sliced by the chef, by request) was JUICY, cooked to the exact perfect temperature, and melted in my mouth every single bite. I can’t tell you what a feat it is to accomplish such delicious high quality TO GO food! I can’t wait to have the opportunity to become a more regular customer- I hope to be out of The hospital next week, and cannot wait to plan a few follow doctor visits with Date night deliciousness spent with Giorgio’s flavors as often as I’m allowed! Thankful for the experience and grateful for the memories great food helped create in this hospital room turned romantic date night. -sincerely, Dana LaPlant (& Ed LaPlant) Heart patient at Jefferson University...

So this week, I wanted Italian. I’d seen a clip of the God Father movie on tubi and got reminded of how much I like Tony Soprano. So I set a reservation for this place and sure enough they decide to cancel on me when I arrive with the family I found on the street that day.

Now I should mention I’m a retired vet, with a missing big toe, so my balance isn’t always the best. This is why I use a cane. But come to find out, the manager Krystal elected to stop me from eating there with my extended family due to my use of a cane!

So now I’m making a scene because I haven’t eaten since the sabbath and my family’s tummies are a rumbling! After some commotion this old skin walker type fella starts yelling In old school battle rap Italian “balognes inka pinka stinka” at me and my adopted family. Now, I’m about to clock this jawn until I stare into his eyes and see that this is in fact THE Tony Soprano. It’s the same fella!

So I apologize to him and he allows me and my mixed raced interracial blended family to eat in the no colored section of the restaurant. I have to say, I’m not into that Hokey Pokey woke crayola stuff being a fella from New York, IM WALKIKG HERE but who am I to argue with the traditional Italian experience!

So me and this gaggle of apes ( my family) are eating the chow having a decent time until we noticed something wrong with the food. This is where things get kicked into high gear….

THEY SERVED US THIS, AFTER WE ASKED FOR THE HOUSE SALAD AND ASSORTED MEATS AND CHEESES! I don’t know what kind of sick joke this is, or maybe it’s the fact the “restaurant” is in a haunted house but I want my money back! And my family is going to have to see the local doctor to rectify the pain they are in. Lucky for us he’s an old friend. Thank god for...
