“Surprisingly Good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 26, 2013

Was dragged here for a family meal (kids love pasta) with low expectations given overpriced bland fare we normallyseem to encounter in this type of restaurant. How wrong I was, food was tasty, portions generous and service was friendly and efficient. Reasonably priced as well.

“Great Italian”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 21, 2013

I have ate several times before and wasn't impressed so I hadn't gone back in 10 years. Wow what a change. The food was very high quality Italian. You will love it

“Too salty”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013 via mobile

It's is a nice establishment, with a good menu offering options beyond your normal Italian fair. The house wine was good and priced reasonably. It was busy and had a good atmosphere. Our one riding issue was every course was too salty to the point it overpowered every meal. I had the cod cakes as a starter and couldn't finish them due to this. I have read the other reviews and although some have expressed similar views the rest are generally very positive. Maybe we were unfortunate or it depends on the Chef

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013 via mobile

We broke a golden holiday rule and ate at this restaurant twice. The food is excellent and well priced. Highly recommend the rigatoni stuffato which has homemade lamb meatballs, calabrese sausage, a slightly spicy tomato sauce, and parmesan breadcrumbs. It is a big call for this pasta lover to say but it rates up there as one of the best pastas I have ever had. The pizza is fantastic also, thick base and topped with lots of ingredients. The house red wine is first class and the service despite being extremely busy in the restaurant was impeccable. Highly rewarding meal after a long day on the slopes. Do not miss out!

“Great Ambiance and Food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

WE have been going to Banff for years and had never eaten at Giorgio's. After checking the positive reviews, we decided to make a reservation for the Saturday night. We were not disappointed. The service was excellent, the food superb. A great meal after a day on the slopes.
