Giordano's

Decided to check this place out after a visit at Longwood Gardens. We had a party of 6 and were seated immediately on a Saturday night evening. Our waitress was super nice and gave us recommendations given it was our first time at the restaurant. For appetizers, we ordered mozzarella sticks and loaded tots. Both were delicious! For entrees, we ordered the chicken parmesan, cheese pizza, stromboli, buffalo wings, and chicken alfredo. The portions are SO large. Even the wings are huge. Everyone at the table had leftovers. Wasn't a huge fan of the garlic bread served with the pastas (would prefer it without the sauce) but everything else was good!

Our Daughter had a bother school event down in the Philly area so we tried out a new place, well the staff were very polite and got us seated right away, food came out fairly quick and was good. The portions were plenty and we took home enough for another person. Only complaints were a waiter had his butt crack hanging out very unsightly, and the bathrooms could use some attention as they are dirty and no toilet paper in the women's.

This restaurant has been a really special place for my family for years! It is somewhere I grew up going and it never disappointed.... Until now. They recently changed owners and changed the menu, and honestly it's not as good and it got pricy. The biggest disappointment is that they got rid of their incredible breaded mushrooms. The food was decent, just disappointed in the changes to the menu. The service was still good, the restaurant was clean, I honestly think the issue comes from the new owners not the staff in the restaurant. The new owners shouldn't have messed with a good thing...

Decent sports bar Italian joint...I wouldn't call it a home run, but a solid double! Antipasto salad was decent but was essentially a roll of lunch meat over salad. They should probably visit Mrs. Robino's in Wilmington to learn how that salad should be presented. Beer was cold...bogo pasta night is a home run for this joint!

We could not have had a better experience at Giordano's! They hosted my partner and I's engagement party and the entire experience was fantastic. Nicole was an excellent and attentive planner, they gave us excellent food for a reasonable price for a 35 person party, and the Bar Manager (Dan) was fantastic. He was funny, kind and made sure myself and my fiancé were looked after, hydrated and fed. We ordered from the catering menu and really enjoyed the buffalo chicken dip, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks and pretzel bites.

We live about a mile from Giordano's so decided to take out. We ordered a cheese steak(excellent), spaghetti and meatballs (excellent) and chicken parm sub (excellent). We also ordered a pizza which was the only way to describe would be a very below average frozen pizza. How they in good conscience charge $18 for this gross imitation pizza I have no idea. Go there for the other food but by no means try the pizza. Cmon Giordano's you have to try a little bit to charge that kind of price! I want a refund for this "pizza".

The eggplant parm, meatballs and cheesesteak were so delicious! We ordered via DoorDash and paid $13.20 for a "garden salad" pictured below... lesson learned. We will enjoy this local spot in person and not for take out.

First time back to the small bar next to the restaurant for a beer, light meal and a few innings of the Phillies. We were very pleased with the ice cold drafts, bowls of wedding, and mushroom soup, and a larger than expected personal pepperoni pizza. We sat at the bar, and our bartender/waitress was very attentive and delight to talk to. We will be back again shortly!

A great local spot for great food! I recommend any of their pasta dishes. Also, shout out to Paris and Becca: Two amazing servers here at Giordanos

Lunch was overpriced. Two sandwiches $60. New owners lost my business. $6.00 for a NA beer. $14 for a glass of wine. Wow. How do you spell greed....Giordano's.

Long, long time customer of Giordanos and recognize that the restaurant changed hands about 2 years ago and the food results have been spotty. Recently, ordered for pick up 3 pizzas, which were tasteless even though the toppings were generous. Decided to call and speak to the manager, but she was busy so I left my name & number, but unfortunately received no call back. Our guests ate 2 of the 3 pizzas, but with the underwhelming taste we threw the last one away. I was calling to ask if they changed pizza ingredients and to mention our experience, but after reviewing others reviews I guess she was tired of responding to dissatisfied customers. This was our go-to place for pizza and Italian entrees for 37 years. Also got boneless wings which were more like chicken tenders-not good. So sadd!

Food was terrible. They need the old owners back it used to be so good now it's just ran down....................... the service is slow even though they get no costumers and I was eating my dinner and found nail clippings and an earring it my food.

Stopped in the sports bar with my buddy to eat, drink and watch sports. About 15 minutes into sitting down the Bartender asked me "why are you smiling." Long story short we didnt stick around long and i havent been back since. Cheesesteak is not the same anymore either.

Service was accurate but food quality and size of pizzas have changed. No value for the buck. Only got pizza and fries too.

5/7 went to dinner with my daughter and her family (4 small children) Service was slow,crayons were given to the kids but they were unable to provide paper. Really?? Then my son in law asked for a birthday cupcake for my daughter to celebrate her special day...NO CUPCAKE was ever delivered. Nor an explanation As I stated 4 small children were with us, so obviously my daughter doesn't get out very often but today this should have been a delight for her. NOT AT THIS RESTAURANT SAVE YOUR TIME & GO ELSEWHERE

Our family are pretty big fans of this establishment. We typically dine in here, our kids really like the French fries and chicken fingers, along with the Mac and cheese. The kids menus double as a coloring paper which is always a nice touch. Portion sizes are pretty large, my wife and I usually split and AntiPasta salad and sometimes we indulge in the cheese steak egg rolls. Comes with three huge egg rolls, with a ketchup and relish dipping sauce which is brilliant. Highly recommend. Today like a few times in the past we got take out, which is great. Separate entrance and everything. Really happy with the wedding soup and chicken Parm. Only thing I have left to do os go sit at the bar upstairs. Hard to believe I have been here dozens of times and never have set foot upstairs. There is a bar there right? One day I will venture there and my experience here will be completed!

On our way to pick up a Shire horse in New Jersey, we stopped off for pizza (10-12-19). First, this is NOT the Giordano's Restaurant chain from Chicago - it is totally different! They do not have the authentic Chicago-style deep-dish pizza you get in Chicago! We ordered the Grilled Seafood Pesto with Roasted Peppers. It had really good flavor. The crust was just crunchy enough that you could hold the piece in your hand without it falling over and dumping the toppings down your arm! I have a feeling that this is a good place to watch a game, any game, and drink beer and eat pizza. Most Sincerely.

Friendly service and decent bar quality food. Their Philly cheesesteak was very good. You can't go wrong with a place like this. They seem to be know for their pizzas rather than their other dishes, so if I was coming back I'd try one of those.

I'll give credit where it's due. Giordano's has done a complete 180 from my last post. I always give places a second chance and they have turned things around. Chicken parm is actually better now then it was before. Pizza back to same quality and soups ate back on track. Thank you gios staff for the improvements. Keep up the good work.

Lousy food! Worst pizza in Kennett unless you like the taste of Ragu sauce on cardboard, and the service (or lack there of) isn't much better.

Here you will find the a pleasant atmosphere, full bar TV'S for your sports desire. Good place to be for the Eagles games and any of the other Philadelphia teams... friendly good service, bartenders tend to be on the ball never letting your glass stay empty for long... and the FOOD you can consistently count on to be delicious. I have had much of the menu over time. It's all GOOD. Favorites : mushroom soup, the pasta here is housemade...mussels in garlic, chicken and veal dishes, Cheesesteaks, subs all of sorts and the pizza almost always order one to go especially the gourmet sausage, long -hots with broccoli rabe yummy. Most of the menu is a winner you can not go wrong. They have two sections so they are great for large parties, families or just one theres plenty of seats around each of bars. also parking available too. I've been coming here way before YELP was around. This place needs to be on your map, it you are ever in the area make it point... Also have take out, so call ahead, pick up on your way ...then you can experience, the experience

"You are going to love this place", Lion said excitedly as we drove away from Longwood Gardens. OK, well, we'll see. I'm a Philly city girl, I have definite strong opinions on cheesesteaks, you know. Open mind and empty belly, we head in. The restaurant has two entries - one, an upper entry, that is to a sports bar, and the other, on a lower level, to the restaurant. If you couldn't guess, the property is sloped somewhat, and the parking lot, while busy, was big enough that we were able to find a spot close by the 'lower' entrance. The restaurant is definitely going for the "80s" vibe, lots of glass block partial walls and a red-and-tan decor, very open, tile floors. Even though we were on the restaurant side there were plenty of flat screen TVs hung high on the walls so that no matter where you sat you could watch whatever sports were on. They're not so obtrusive though to dominate the experience, and we largely ignored them. Our server came promptly, delivered menus and took our drink orders. We decided on the soft pretzel appetizer. I got the pizza steak, as I've been craving one and my eye kept going there on the menu. Lion got a cheesesteak with (gasp) American cheese. You can't condemn him too much though, he grew up in Chester County. I am, however, slightly worried at what could come of a place that thinks the best cheese is American? The pretzels were quite good, nice balance of salt and savory, soft in the middle, with a jalapeño cheese dip and a mustard dip. Neither dip appealed to me, however Lion gave the jalapeño cheese dip two thumbs up. Our sandwiches arrived, they were both quite substantial in size and meat, these are not skimpy. The fries were fine, nothing exciting. Now here's where I am glad for the open mind: The pizza steak was very very good. One of the best I've had. Nice balance of sauce, mozzarella and meat, and the roll held it all nicely without falling apart. This really makes up for the "American cheese" decision on their standard cheesesteak. We finished off with a piece of peanut butter pie which was quite nice, nothing extraordinary, a solid offering. Service was generally good, trailed off a bit but nothing that caused us a great deal of concern. Of course I'll be back, and I'm getting the pizza steak again. Soon.

New management has taken our go to pizza place to never again. Crust was as tasteless as plain brown box it came in. Cheese was in name only, cheese. Not giving them a star but is Minus An option Really disappointed !!

It's not the same after the Gio family sold it. Sad it was always a great place to go for great food. Always had something for everyone. If I were the Giordano family I would want my name off the building.

Not impressed at all, I had the snapper and my wife had the eggplant parm. The fish had no flavor and the eggplant sauce was to thick and sweet. We also had the mussels that we're supposed to be PEI mussels but I really don't think they were. Very small not the usual PEI mussels I'm used to.

Ate here years ago - and the ownership very recently changed. Tried last week Hoping for better food. Nope. If anything, it's lower quality. Flavorless pizza. Sigh. So haven't bothered to try anything else in the menu. Also heard high turnover under new management. Oh well, plenty of better places to eat in the area.

Tried it for takeout. Two salads, chicken cheese steak and a pork sandwich. Prices are reasonable. Employees friendly and were really hustling to complete order. Food was ok, cheesesteak was kinda bland.

Went downhill after sold by Giordano family. I tried twice after it was sold. I will not go back again. It used to be a favorite.

We have been big fans of Giordanos for over 20 years. We frequently dine-in, take out and order catering for business lunches. We stopped in for lunch on Sunday and had the rudest server I think I have ever experienced in my life. I won't get into specifics but my family was shocked at her behavior and rude comments. The following day my husband had a catering order to pick up for a business lunch and they said they didn't have any record of his order. He asked to speak to the owner to discuss the issues he had experienced over the past few days and was told that the Giordano family sold their business to a hospitality group and are no longer involved in the restaurant. It's a shame because it isn't taking long for the new owners to destroy the Giordanos name and reputation. I know we won't be going back.

Fun family place, but also a good sports bar. Good beer selection and great Cher steaks and pizza!

We had been regular customers for many years, 15- 20 years. Management changed, and not for the better. In the past we had orders almost once a week from pretty much everything on the menu; cheesesteaks, hoagies, ravioli, meatballs, ahi tuna, pasta, chicken parm etc. The food was good, very rare to have had any issues. ( lets be honest, we are human, no restaurant gets everything right all the time). Unfortunately the food is no longer worth it, and some menu items say they are local favorites??? Menu now looks like a restaurant trying to find an identity. Tuna is supposed to be rare, but they now cook it to medium at best, wings are fried until dry, the sandwich quality has dropped in size and taste, turkey club was so soggy, pasta overcooked to mush, no need to go on. We just have been too disappointed lately to give it another go after the FIFTH maybe sixth time. We obviously tried, but the old Kennett Gios is no longer. Save your money

Service was just ok. Said they were renovating restaurant but had same menu in bar. Only thing good was mushroom soup. Calamari salty & rubbery. Eggplant parm mushy & salty. Only come to town every three years or so & this is normally my go to but can't next time.

UGH......BOY OH BOY do we miss the old family owned Giordanos Italian Restaurant!!!!!!! We have tried it a few times since it was under new ownership and it is NOTHING AT ALL LIKE THE ORIGINAL ITALIAN RESTAURANT WITH ITS DELICIOUS FOOD THAT WAS ALWAYS PREPARED WITH SKILL AND LOVE FOR THE FOOD THEY WERE COOKING. We tried it several times hoping for some delicious food and have been extremely disappointed. old Giordanos had delicious nachos for example that were piled with delicious toppings. New nachos were DISGUSTING! there were a few store bought taco chips(and i literally mean a few) that werent even good ones and served with jarred cheese wiz. That was it!!! I couldnt believe i was being given that and charged for it! i complained and found out that i was not the only one complaining . The whole menu has changed. Many of the old well loved dishes have been removed and the menu is really not Italian anymore at all. We have tried a couple dishes and they were just ok... not great. The restaurant has become largely american bar food that you can get anywhere and actually there are many local places that do it MUCH better! Two Stones Kennett Square for example is great... Delicious and creative ! The pizza at Giordanos is still pretty good but the menu aside from pizzas is disappointing and just ok at best.

I have really strong feelings for this cheesesteak but I didn't get that 'butterflies in my stomach' feeling when I was with it. This cheesesteak has a lot going for it. The roll was big but collapsed enough to be edible and still hold in all of the melted cheese. Good amount of cheese and it was melted throughout the whole cheesesteak. Fried onions galore. Very good extras, mushrooms, lettuce and tomato. It lacked flavor. I kept waiting for it and it never came. I was very surprised all of the fried onions didn't give it more flavor. The cheesesteak did come with French fries but it was over $12. Overall it was a good experience. The bartender could not have been more helpful.

Best pizza hands down in Eastern PA. Wow! Had a cup of mushroom soup(outstanding), Philly Cheese Steak Egg Roll Appetizer, also outstanding.

Food has went downhill since the new owners took over. After being disappointed with my last meal, I reached out with a phone call, no response, an email, no response. As a place we frequented weekly & speaking with other locals who are saying the same thing about the food, this speaks volumes. What ashame to see this after the Giordano's built a thriving business.

We were seated our waitress took our orders two other couples were seated after us and received there orders before ours. Ordered a chicken cheese steak it was warm at best supposed to have cheese bearley noticed. Might give it another try. I ordered the roast pork sandwich again it was bearly warm but full of flavor.

Been a customer since 1983, when they were just a pizza shop About a block away in that little strip mall is (where Mini's bakery used to be). Great pizza especially the full house (use to be square pie back in '83). Great Stromboli's especially the ricotta & spinach. Great soups, kudo's to the mushroom and the wedding soups. Ch. Stk & hoagies okay (you want a real hoagie- Mike & Emma's Macdade Blvd. Folsom, Pa-Ridley township, been eating them since 1958-yup 64 years. Want a epic hotdog? Sorry, John's dogs,closed for Rt. 322 expansion, but a dog truck exists and roams around thanks to one of the grandsons (THE Sauce is available at Hilda's market Silverside & Marsh rds. Arden, De). Anybody remember Clank's (bar) pizza in Marcus Hook? Amazing what 1 minute more in the oven can do to pepperoni. John's dogs Chester 70: years ago in tow with Mama after shopping Spear's, Rodgers, Wieinberg's stores, 10 cent hotdog, 15 for hamburger.

I wanted to try their mussels and they were discussing!! Cisco products which is one of the companies that they buy their products from, low quality and didn't want food poison so l threw the mussels away!!! Would not recommend!!!

Honestly I'd give a negative star. The bartenders would rather wash dishes and Chat with each other then serve drinks. I found the staff and manager Joe unprofessional . No one wishes to go out & pay good money for attitude and disrespect. Please save your money and go somewhere else. With the bad attitudes why bother !

I walked in and I immediately got thrown back to 1992. My sister and nieces joined me for dinner at Giordano's. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with Broccoli, the sauce tasted like it was bottled and the price was a bit absurd for an entirely underwhelming dish. $19!? My 6 year old niece is a legitimate wing connoisseur. Instead of milk at birth I'm pretty sure she was given franks hot sauce. She ordered the BBQ wings and said they were "alright." Other items ordered were the spaghetti in a red sauce which my niece enjoyed and the eggplant parm sandwich, that was described as "meh, I've had better." So, as much as I loved the 90's this place needs some serious updating. The price of the pasta surely did not reflect the quality of the dish. While I used to enjoy coming here back in the day, I think Giordano's needs some change!

Sad this was the place to go when they moved the new building food was great prices great. Kennett has changed so much but this place has become a high end brown derby old it's an expensive hole in the wall and outdated the 90's decor that's not only outdated but beat up missing paint banged up walls The outrageous prices. Sunday eagles game they are understaffed and game isn't even on most the TVs. Being kennetts only sports bar you would think have a lock on things. Seems like the owners are busy with other restaurants and forgot about this place guess it's a cash cow they are willing to loose. Hopefully they change I'll edit this review as I see Stephanie R who clearly must be a transplant from Delco where establishments of this caliber are considered classy. Well just to inform you I'm a long Time Kennett resident. Thought I can also say the waitress I had tonight was in the weeds and her service was top notch please update the facility but keep the great staff

Good local joint, service not always good. We go to sports bar and they are picky where you sit and left the table we wanted empty the whole time we were there. They have the buzztime trivia game and will put it on the TV's when they eventually get to it! Large menu great local place.

Cheesesteak was awesome. Good service. Close to the hotel I was staying in. Great beer selection.

If I'm going to pay "$15" for a grilled chicken cesar salad, it better be fresh grilled chicken. If you're employee forgot the dressing and you give me a credit, that same salad better be the same quality and it's not. Seems like the chicken has been sitting around for a few hours! Lost my business!

This is a nice, casual spot that I sometimes have lunch meetings in. My use for this place is kind of specific, as this location is at a really convenient central location to people I work with. The food is very solid, they have a variety of different options (and many suit my coworkers who are kind of health nuts). Best of all, it's pretty quiet around lunchtime and it makes for convenient conversations without super loud music drowning you out (there is some, though, so I dont think I would use it for work calls or phoning someone in). They have a good-looking bar that could be good for light dates, and the whole place seems like it could be a nice place for the entire family.

This is one of my favorite places to eat! Their cheesesteaks are the best I've ever had. Rolls are always fresh and soft. The meat is packed in and full. Unless I'm starving, can't eat one myself. Usually split with my husband. Pizza is amazing! Italian entrees are large portions- usually good for 2 meals. Waitstaff is always courteous and very friendly.

Ordered two pies for take out. If Digiorno's supermarket pizza is your pizza, this will be the place for you. However, if you're from NY and accustomed to having many excellent pizzerias within walking distance, this place in Kennett Square will be highly disappointing. Full disclosure: since moving down to West Chester/Kennett Square, I have not found a decent pizzeria anywhere, so maybe the locals are accustomed to eating cardboard, tasteless pizza...but I'm not.

We can here to meet some people for dinner. The place is oddly separated with a sports bar being above on the hill and the restaurant and bar being below. The layout of the restaurant is bizarre to me! The staff is friendly and accommodating! One person in our party ordered something that wasn't even on the menu and she said... sure we can make that! If it's not on the menu just ask. I ordered the margherrita pizza, I was not that impressed. The tomatoes was really just tomato sauce and there was no fresh basil on the pizza either. The crust was delicious and perfectly cooked with grill marks. The margaritas were just ok.
