    We went to Giordano's because my son was craving the chicken parm sandwich. Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. My husband and I ordered an original thin crust pizza, which is supposed to be triangle-cut like a regular pizza, but it came square-cut instead. More importantly, the sauce just didn't taste very good, which was disappointing given Giordano's reputation. We also ordered a house salad to split (spring greens, tomatoes, and Asiago cheese). We asked for no fennel, which they accommodated, and the salad was fine -- nothing special, but fine. My son ordered the chicken parm sandwich (breaded chicken breast with house-made marinara and melted mozzarella on toasted garlic ciabatta), along with parmesan garlic fries and tomato bruschetta. The sandwich itself was okay, but the bruschetta missed the mark -- way too many diced tomatoes and the bread wasn't crispy at all. Service was another issue. Our waiter seemed unbothered and hard to find. Every time I tried to get his attention, he was nowhere around. Dirty dishes piled up, and since I couldn't get them cleared, I ended up moving them to the table beside us, which isn't something guests should have to do. Make sure you sign up for the loyalty program at least 24 hours in advance so you can get the $5 off your meal! Overall, it served its purpose, but between the lackluster food and inattentive service, I left feeling less than thrilled. Nothing terrible -- just not a place I'd be eager to rush back to. It's simple and no frills. I wanted to make my son happy; but I wasn't.

    Giordano's was the 1st taste of Chicago Deep Dish I ever had, I was 17. I went to school in Chicago and found other places that were better (Gino's, Due, Lou Minati's) I haven't had Giordano's for 30 years. I live in California now, so when I saw they had a location in Orlando I had to try it. It hit me like the 1st time I tried Deep Dish. Great blast from the past!

    Deep Dish Pizza
    Charnie D.

    First time having a real deep dish pizza and it didn't disappoint. I love the concept of how they layer the topping and then cheese and sauce. It gives it a different texture for sure. They really put a heavy amount of jalapeños tho, because I was barely able to finish a slice. I will stay away from jalapeños next time. The chicken wings were plain because we requested sauce on the side, but they didn't give us any sauce. So that was disappointing.

    Slice of cheese deep dish

    Last night I picked up a large cheese deep dish from Giordano's, and it was nothing short of incredible. The pizza was massive; honestly felt like it weighed ten pounds; and every bite was worth it. * Crust: Perfectly baked, golden, and sturdy enough to hold all that cheesy goodness without being too heavy. * Cheese: Generous, gooey, and satisfying; exactly what you hope for in a Chicago-style deep dish. * Sauce: Rich, robust, and full of flavor. It had just the right balance of tang and sweetness, making each slice pop. We shared it among four people, and everyone loved it. This is the kind of pizza that makes you slow down and savor every bite. If you're in Orlando and craving authentic deep dish, Giordano's is the place to go.

    Sooooooo good!! The deep dish stuffed pizza is very good. The cheese bread appetizer is also great.

    Love the deep dish pizza always. This specific Giordanos is pretty dirty (windows, doors, bathrooms, what you can see of the kitchen when you walk back, the pile of dirty paper towels that sit by the door going back into the dining room). I did let someone know the soap was out in both the men's and women's bathrooms and the paper towels in the women's (mom life visiting both multiple times). Neither was addressed in the time we were there (probably an hour and a half...takes about 45 minutes to get deep dish). Service wise at this place, looked like one person working most of the tables, so I know that can be tough and it was a little slow reflecting that, which isn't her fault. The biggest weird thing though is that we actually took a second to look at our bill (both of us looked). The subtotal didn't add up. So I'm not sure if she already added tip and just didn't have a line for it (maybe it's like an auto thing?) but then when you tap to pay it gives you another spot to tip again. I just think that's a little sketch. We often are in a hurry and don't look, so adding an extra almost $20 and not having a line for it and then also having a spot for another tip can be a little deceptive. There were just the 4 of us, I know it's often auto when it's a bigger table, but we weren't. So, yeah, just weird and felt a bit deceptive. And there was a line for tax, so it wasn't that.

    The pizza and service are second to none! I've been here twice! Once was later in the evening with friends and the second time was a late lunch by myself. I travel for business, so after my first experience, I couldn't get this place out of my mind. The decorations are charming! The large ornate bar is a beautiful centerpiece! The pizza is out of this world!

    I don't usually eat pizza, but I decided to try their deep dish and I loved it! It was so fresh and delicious, I've never had a pizza like that. I thought it was gonna be too much cheese but it was actually the perfect amount

    Great deep dish and spaghetti dishes! The staff was amazing too! Ample parking! The ambiance is great!

    Staff inside was friendly, ordered a deep dish with chicken and veggies. The pizza was messed up when I got home though, wish I checked it before I left. It was still good but 1/4 of it was smushed. Super cheesy, would give them another shot next time im in the area

    LoOoOve Giordano's We make it a point to eat here whenever we're in the area--it's just THAT good! We always get the stuffed pizza and while I want to try other toppings, I always get the meat and more meat. We thought the place was going to be packed, but there was tons of seating in the deck. There was a convenient heater heating up the space since it was cold, it was like a light bulb--which was pretty cool. Our waiter was great! I forgot his name but he was Nigerian and Brazilian and when I left he came after me to give me my jacket which was VERY much appreciated. Can't wait to go back

    Italian Beef aranicini
    Jeanette R.

    I haven't been here in a while but we consider it a treat once and awhile so it was time. I decided to try the Italian Beef arancini which was pretty good. I'll definitely get it again. My son kept his deep dish simple with just cheese. I had sausage and half green pepper. I would have liked more green pepper but it was still good. Now. What upset us and convinced me to not come back to this location is this; My son came out with the two pizzas and a bag. I assumed the arancini was in the bag, as I'm talking to him, I'm opening the bag and reaching into the bag when I look and see that it's fries. So just before I actually touched the fries, I pulled my hand out and a gentleman is at my windows saying I have the wrong bag. So I hand it back to him and my son followed him back into the restaurant. My son said the gentleman handed the bag of fries to a customer and then went and got my order to give to him. Now, maybe it's different here, but I was always told that's an absolute no, no. My hand was literally inside the bag, and even if it wasn't, it had been in my vehicle and therefore compromised. At the very least either leave the bag or throw it all away. I don't feel comfortable with that decision and I won't return to that location if that's how they conduct business.

Fresh, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. But the absolute star of the night was the pear and cheese ravioli with wine-poached pear and crushed pistachio. I am NOT joking when I say this was a 100/10. This completely stole my heart and honestly took me by surprise with how good it was. The combination of the sweet pear, creamy cheese, and pistachio was incredible. I went in not knowing what to expect and left thinking about this dish. We also got the tableside pistachio and chocolate cannoli, which was SO good and a really fun way to finish the meal. I always appreciate when dessert is part of the experience rather than just something brought out at the end. The wait staff were very nice and attentive throughout the meal. Parking is probably the biggest downside since there's not much available beyond street parking, so definitely plan accordingly. Overall, Turci Pasta definitely feels like a high-end, upscale dining experience, and I think it's worth the price for the right occasion. It's not necessarily somewhere I'd go for a quick or casual dinner, but for a date night, celebration, or special evening, I can absolutely see the appeal. And seriously... get the ravioli.

This was my first time at Tratto and I already have made plans to return. My plans include trying another new-to-me pizza combination but no promises. I might get the pesto and mortadella on repeat for the foreseeable future. The pizzas can be ordered in Thin crust or Detroit style.

The presentation was gorgeous! In my opinion, it was the show stopper of the evening. My chicken parm came out, and it was by far the largest portion of chicken parm I have ever had! It could easily be shared (and was) and still have some to take home (and I did!). The tableside cheese wheel presentation was about the same as I've seen before at the H. The only set back was he had the cheese prepared, but had to wait on the pasta to come out. Not a seamless show, but the pasta was pretty tasty with the fresh cheese. We also got a Detroit style cheese pizza that had a tremendous cheese pull! One thing I can say about Tratto is they definitely use quality cheese. The only cheese I wasn't crazy about was the burrata. Tratto provided a tasty successful dinner. Would I drive 30 mins to go again? Probably not, but still recommend checking it out. I would go again if I lived closer.
