"We chose Giardino because of its closeness to JFK. We were picking up relatives and only had one evening to visit and share a good meal. So glad we selected Giardino! The restaurant is clean and spacious with a garden-like "feel". Our dinners arrived quickly and one of the best Caesar Salads and definitely the best fresh mozzarella salad we have eaten.
very safe neighborhood with a parking lot across the street."

"I used to dine here about 10 years ago but have not been there since recently and I must say the decor is way better and so is the menu. The food is excellent as is the service. I would dine here on a regular basis. Kid friendly."

"The food was great. My only complaint was that I ordered one of the specials and when the bill came, I was shocked at how much it cost. Although it was very good, a veal chop for $43.00 is a little high and had I known it was so expensive I would not have ordered it. In the future, I think they should inform you of how much the special entrees are when they are telling you about them."

"The service was excellent and very accomodating.The food was very good in general but some appettizers were a bit to greasy for my taste. The ambiance was good but if you sit close to the main area it can be a bit is noisy. We had a hard time hearing at times. The main dining area is a little cramped and if there is a large crowd being seated they will be marching,unavoidably ,too close to you table. This can be very annoying. I'm sure the regulars know and migrate to the back where possible to have a better expierence. Overall it was very good and we would go back but will try to avoid the front area of the dining room."
