First time visit to Il Giorgione, and in a word--mixed bag. Although, we had planned to eat here for about a week and a half, I overlooked making reservations mistakenly thinking , "ah, this sounds like a casual place, none needed." So when I finally realized my error, I called them the the day of our planned outing. Sorry, no table inside, patio seating only. So, we started out in the patio but before long all kinds of flying insects wanted to join our party. Our server, who was very nice and accommodating, asked us if we wanted to sit at the bar. We jumped at the chance and before long the bartender set us up with our drinks--Aperol Spritzes and some glasses of house wines. We stared out with pizza for our first course (the menu is organized in true Italian fashion--antipasto, secondi [meat], pasta, insalata e zuppa [salad and soup], and dolce--dessert). The pizza was interesting: thin, chewy crust, olive oil, shaved conciato cheese (I think), and arugula. We enjoyed it. My wife opted to drink her dinner while our friends and I ordered pasta dishes. I jumped at the gnocchi pasta in a cream sauce accented with prosciutto and chanterelle mushrooms. Perhaps the best gnocchi dish I've eaten. The little pillows of soft potato enriched dough were super tender...a real winner. Our friends had the Rigatoni al Dorato, and a spaghetti dish with shrimp. While our dinner kind of got off to a shaky start, partly my fault, Il Giorione is a good Italian restaurant with excellent service, some well know traditional Italian dishes--such as Cacio e Pepe', pasta carbonara, tiramisu, and panne cotta, and a pleasant ambiance. A few things went wrong with our overall experience, but all things worked out in end. Note: Parking is a challenge. The lot behind the restaurant is tight and small, so plan accordingly.
