Giorgio's — Restaurant in Rolling Hills Estates

Really liked the atmosphere: quiet, simple, nice pictures. The bread was delicious, and had a great diced tomato spread to go with it. Then the first red flag appeared. The waiter listed a specialty menu almost a full page worth. I ordered one of the specialties, veil chop, and it was almost well done when I asked for medium rare. $40 for that... Yikes. They apologized and gave us free dessert, which was very kind of them and they were good desserts. My dad's beef steak was well cooked medium rare, very tender. Both of the sauces for the veil and the steak were underwhelming, mine was supposed to be spicy but was only seasoned a little extra. Lastly, the cooked vegetables were messy and mine were sitting in a puddle of oil. Decent flavor, but didn't look appetizing at all. I normally wouldn't scrutinize a place this much, but for a $100 bill for two people (not including the desserts), I don't think the food...

Moved to the area 15 months ago, was told the best restaurant on the hill, first time ordered linguini pescatore, was really good , went back 3 months later order same thing was disgusting, rude bold waiter didn’t care of my complain , I asked busboy to find out what was the million and half herbs I had separated, he came back saying was oregano , well they should know makes the dish bitter, gave them one last chance a month ago, service was so bad , waited over an hour for the order, because they had a party of 10, no apologies, not even a complementary salad while we waited or extra bread. Food was awful again 1.5 lbs of oregano on my pescatore. I just learned there is a better choice down the hill , on Hawthorne Blvd . Will try Di 0 stars...

Delicious, quality food and very friendly service. They are open for safe inside dining, but still also have some tables out front which was very nice. Each table has a heat lamp. The fettuccine Michelangelo is excellent with lots of chicken and prosciutto. The cream sauce is not too heavy and does not just melt off to the bottom of the bowl. We also enjoyed the mushroom raviolis. Even the side salad, which is just a few dollars to add to an entree, was very good. A nice touch is that they not only bring bread, but also bruschetta topping. That's great when so many restaurants are starting to charge for bread service. Plenty of free parking right in front of the restaurant. Reservations recommended...
