La Famiglia Giorgio's Restaurant

"Around since 1990, this North End restaurant is the type of place where a diner can embark on a six-pound lasagna challenge or a three-pound chicken Parm challenge. Or, perhaps a less painful meal: the after-work three-course special for $30 per person. It includes a garden salad, a choice of one of several pasta entrees, and a mini cannoli, plus a glass of wine. It’s available Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m." - Erika Adams, Celina Colby

"“It’s like being at Nonna’s” is printed on the menus at La Famiglia Giorgio’s. What sets the Roman-inspired restaurant apart is the quality of its fresh pasta. Everything is good here, but “Little Al’s favorite,” which consists of chicken cutlet, broccoli, and gnocchi tossed in a pink vodka sauce, is compulsory. Classics like chicken and eggplant parmesan are among the best versions in the city. Fair warning on the portion sizes — they are huge. La Famiglia Giorgio’s wine list is huge, too, with more than 400 bottles to choose from. A note on accessibility: The entrance has two steps." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares, Tommy Ranucci

"La Famiglia Giorgio’s is one of the few places in the North End where you can feed a crowd without parting with a small fortune. The large menu full of American Italian favorites is ideal for picky eaters, and their wide range of vegetarian and gluten-free options makes this place a godsend for those with dietary restrictions. The portions here are enormous, and restaurant policy stipulates that each diner must order either an app or an entree, so plan accordingly. We like the slices of stuffed eggplant rollatini full of stretchy mozzarella, creamy ricotta, and sharp pecorino, as well as the chicken piccata with their housemade linguine pasta. The food here is familiar, but sometimes that’s exactly what you need." - lala thaddeus
