BYOB Italian eatery with classic pasta dishes and GF options
"This classic BYOB in Midtown Village by chef and owner Giorgio Giuliani has been serving up traditional Italian cuisine (such as spaghetti a la vodka, veal with prosciutto, and bucatini) with a sensitivity for providing gluten-free pasta options as well." - Annemarie Dooling
"Giorgio On Pine in Washington Square West checks all the Italian BYO boxes: lots of red sauce, local college students drinking too much and talking too loud, and service so warm that you’ll invite your server to your cat’s birthday party. Even on their best nights, lemon will overpower the demi glaze on sauteed veal, and ravioli in a creamy tomato basil sauce tops out at better than average. That being said, portions are generous, they have lots of vegetarian options, and every pasta can be made gluten-free. So if you need lots of dietary options for your group of friends and your craving for pasta is undeniable, it gets the job done. Just don’t forget the wine." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"This is a classic BYOB that has been the staple for diners in Midtown Village and beyond, For years, Chef/Owner Giorgio Giuliani has been serving up traditional Italian cuisine (such as spaghetti a la vodka, veal with prosciutto, and bucatini) but with a sensitivity for providing gluten-free pasta options, seasonal ingredients, and a more dietary-flexible menu for all." - Ernest Owens
"All of the pasta (such as their spaghetti a la vodka, gnocchi, and bucatini) at this Midtown Village restaurant are under $20, with most entrées (such as their veal with prosciutto and stuffed chicken breast) under $30. As if things couldn’t get better, Giorgio On Pine is completely BYOB — so bring a bottle of fine wine to pair with these Italian classics." - Eater Staff
"Giorgio On Pine in Washington Square West feels like the default template for every Italian BYOB in Philly: lots of red sauce, people complaining about the Isgro line, and service so warm that you’ll invite your server to your cat’s birthday party. On their best nights, you’ll encounter lemon overpowering the demi glaze on sauteed veal and ravioli in a creamy tomato basil sauce that’s better than average. While nothing here is worth crossing town for, they have generous portions, lots of vegetarian options, and every pasta can be made gluten-free. So, it makes sense to head here when you’re nearby, need lots of dietary options for your group of friends, and your craving for pasta is undeniable. Just don’t forget the wine. photo credit: RACHEL LERRO" - Candis R. McLean
