“ Went here w/ some friends and the italian is great. The stuffed clams, eggplant burrata and the main squid linquini were all delicious. Very nice little spot. Make sure u make reservations since it fills up quick. ”
“ If I could give this place 10 stars I would! My husband, daughter and myself came here for the first time last night. We happen to come across this restaurant browsing on YouTube. It said it was voted best Italian restaurant in Westchester County, so we definitely had to check it out. The decor was absolutely beautiful. Staff was very attentive. Our waiter memorized all the appetizers and entrees and was able to describe each dish in detail to us which I was very impressed with. He was so informative and very sweet to my daughter. Once we ordered our food, it came out within 10 minutes. Let me just say, I can see why they were voted the best in Westchester. They did not disappoint! We had appetizers, entrees and desert. The tiramisu was on point! Everything was delicious! Everything was reasonable priced and there was plenty of FREE parking. We will definitely be coming back! ”
“ Michelle was our server. Very friendly and efficient. Food was outstanding. We started with special mixed seafood in 2 large clam shells. Dining partner had softshell crab (2) over linguini and he said it was the best softshell crab prep he ever had. I had Chilean Sea Bass in a lobster bisque sauce with sweet potato crust over spinach. Finished the meal with tartufo. Rich dark chocolate shell. The chef has a flare for bringing out flavors with his combinations. ”
“ Hands down the best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. Georgie knows what he is doing back in that kitchen. His staff is super attentive, informative and kind. We were greeted with a smile and they never left a dirty or empty dish on our table. The grandmas chicken is off the charts. The steak was fantastic. We also had baked clams and fried calamari with peppers. Everything was unbelievable. I will be coming here weekly from now on! ”
“ Da Giorgio’s – A Hidden Gem of Italian Excellence in New Rochelle! Walking into Da Giorgio in New Rochelle feels like stepping through a portal straight to Southern Italy. Tucked unassumingly in a modest strip mall on Quaker Ridge Road, this small, cozy restaurant immediately wraps you in warmth and old-world charm. It’s intimate — seating just about 45 guests — making it feel like you’ve been personally invited into Chef Giorgio’s own kitchen. The food? Absolutely outstanding. Every dish at Da Giorgio’s bursts with authenticity and passion, a direct reflection of Chef Giorgio Giacinto’s Calabrian roots and formal training in Italy. You can taste the dedication to fresh, high-quality ingredients in every bite. We started our meal with their Stuffed Meatball Calabrese, a hearty masterpiece packed with beef, veal, pork, and oozing with house-made mozzarella. It was rich, tender, and seasoned to perfection. For the pasta course, the Squid Ink Spaghetti with Crab was a showstopper — the handmade pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sweet crab meat married beautifully with the deep, briny flavor of the squid ink. A must-try! Then came the Rigatoni Da Giorgio, featuring luscious filet mignon cubes bathing in a decadent cognac sauce. The flavors were bold yet refined, and the portion generous without being overwhelming. Specials change daily based on what’s freshest, and judging by the perfection of every plate, I have no doubt you could close your eyes and pick anything off the menu and leave thrilled. Service at Da Giorgio is equally spectacular. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food they’re serving. You can feel the pride they have in the restaurant — and they’re quick to offer fantastic wine pairings and recommend house favorites. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming — candlelit tables, soft Italian music in the background, and an inviting, unpretentious atmosphere that lets the food be the true star of the evening. In short: Da Giorgio is a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic, soulful Italian dining experience. It’s the kind of restaurant where you savor every bite and start planning your next visit before you even leave the table. Make a reservation — because once you eat here, you’ll understand why it’s become a local legend. ”
“ By far one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Great food and excellent service. This place is my new favorite restaurant in town. I highly recommend the squid ink pasta with crab. ”
“ We visited for the first time tonight and it was great! The food was excellent as well as the service! We had their special which was a huge chicken parm with 3 sauces! Jarrod was our server and he was excellent! Very friendly and attentive! We cannot wait to go back! ”
“ Had an amazing Birthday dinner here tonight with the family. From the food to the staff and service everything was exceptional. A nice small spot where you can enjoy a beautiful relaxing dinner. For appetizers we tried the Fried calamari and Clams Oreganata. Both of which were great. For dinner we all tried different specials and everybody was very happy with their dish. I personally enjoyed their “Chicken Granda” which I was very much looking forward to. Let me tell you it did not disappoint! The chicken cutlet was done perfectly, the cheese was incredibly fresh and all of the sauces were delicious. Would definitely order this dish again. I had a side of their penne vodka with my dish as well and must say their pasta tastes exceptional! I believe it is made in house so that makes sense. Would love to try one of their pasta entrees in the future. Thanks again for the wonderful night! Me and my family can’t wait to come back. ”
