In 1959, Frank and Tina D'Ambrosio decided to start a new restaurant venture along with their "Paisans" Mario and Enza Volpe, after Frank had much success with his first restaurant, the original "Frankie, Johnnie, and Luigi Too! In Mountain View, CA. Named after a good friend of theirs, they opened the original "Giorgio's" in the Foxworthy Shopping Center in San Jose, CA. One year later, cousins Anthony and Louise Dambruoso, affectionately known to the family as "Sash and Lou", took control of the restaurant and ran it for the next eight years. Pictures and paintings of these folks still grace the walls of the establishment today. In 1968, Frank's four sons assumed control of the restaurant and still own and operate it to this day. In 1997 they opened a second location in Milpitas, CA, where they still offer the highest standard of quality food, service, and value to their customers. Bon Appetit!!

The minute you enter the restaurant, you are welcomed and treat well. Yes, the noise level was a little high but it was very full of families enjoying their Christmas feast. The food was delicious and enough variety for everyone in your group. The staffs were very efficient but made you feel very welcomed. I would go back for the next holiday event. Price was very reasonable per person.

We had originally reserved outdoor seating but were overjoyed to be seated indoors upon arrival, as it made the experience even more comfortable and enjoyable. The food was outstanding, and our server demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attentiveness. Although the service was slower than usual, it was understandable given the demands of Christmas Eve. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we look forward to returning in the future.
