    Russo Bianco cocktail
    Ryan C.

    My wife and I with our friends visited Friday night and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was very relaxing and warm. Our server was attentive and very friendly. And the food...fantastic! The Carbonara was the highlight of the evening. 10/10 we are coming back for sure

    Parpadelle alla Papalina
 Prosciutto and Peas in a cream sauce...very good
    Romeo L.

    Our ROMEO group went for lunch today...had seven of us. Waitress took our drink orders and then came back to get our entrees. We had two orders for the Quattro Stagioni Pizza, one calbrese pissa, two Giorgione Italiano Sandwiches, one Parpadelle alla Papalina, one Caesar Salad with chicken, It took a while to get our order but the general consensus on the food was very good. Overall the guys ratings were 4.0 (3), 4.5 (2), 3.5 and a 5. Average of 4.21. I ordered the Calabrese Pizza..it has the spicy salami and it was very good. I think I liked it better than pepperoni. Pizza crust is very thin, nice and crisp....cheese and sauce were good. I've had the Quattro Stagioni and it is excellent. Both guys that ordered it were looking to get the egg runny, sunny side up. Both of the pizzas had the egg close to being totally cooked. They would prefer it if the egg yolk was soft and allow you to mix it around the top of the pizza similar to what the real lItalian restaurants do in major cities. The Parpadelle alla Papalina looked great. I asked the waitress what her favorite pasta dish was and she picked that one. I'll have to go back some evening and try it. I think both guys that had the Giorgione Italiano sandwich were giving it a 4.0.....very good, but not great. One complaint was the time it took to take our orders and get the food.

    No bread during lunch, only dinner time. pizza is good, the noodles are too much oil.

    Toscana and Emiliana to go
    Kristin P.

    FLASH ALERT.... I'll Giorgione temporarily closes Dec. 22nd as it passes ownership. Not sure if the chef is staying or going but ownership will be new come the new year. Whether it's your local favorite or you have been eager to try, be sure to stop in, by the 22nd as they will be closed thereafter through the 12th. Pies range from $10-$13 which was a steal in light of the quality of the pies. The crust is paper thin yet has a wonderful taste and not drenched in oil. While I typically prefer a few more toppings more would have piled down the pie. I found both the Emiliana and Toscana to be quite flavorful but left wishing we had ordered 1 pie and an entree as pie alone was a bit too light for dinner.

    Tortelloni Alla Panna
    Austin A.

    The El Dorado and Tortelloni alla Panna are two of my favorite pasta dishes of all time and I'm from New Jersey. The Tortelloni alla Panna is a sweet cream sauce with nutmeg on top and the El Dorado is a spicy sauce. The service is pretty good however we had to ask for bread to be brought to our table when it's complimentary. Also the pizza is decent but I would definelty go for the pasta. Great spot and vibe for a wine night.

    Rigatoni al Dorato
    Amanda P.

    Il Giorgione is definitely my favorite italian restaurant in Columbia. Their pasta dishes never disappoint me, this time I got the rigatoni al dorato and I loved it. It's a small, quaint restaurant so I would definitely recommend a reservation. They offer valet parking since parking is limited on Devine street. The service is excellent and the waitress we had was very helpful and knowledgable on the wine list. The only things I wish I could change is the portions for some of the pasta dishes are on the smaller side (someone in my party ordered the tortellini and there was only about 10 pieces). Also, the appetizer menu is very very limited, and ordering additional bread is a $2 up charge (however the focaccia bread is amazing so it's worth it). If they could expand their menu and get some new appetizers, and just have a little more generous portions for the price, it would be a 10/10. Overall, I would still 100% recommend dining here.

    Tiramisu disgusting

    I had dinner tonight and ordered chicken Marsala. The meal was good but it came out a bit cold and the chicken breast could've been done just a little bit more. But I ordered a tiramisu to go and all it was was soup. Very disappointing.

    Rigatoni
    Mark R.

    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.

When I walked in, I was amazed at what I saw inside, as it definitely was not what I was expecting (and I mean that in a good way!). I loved how dimly lit it was inside, which was complemented by miniature lights that were strung from the ceiling. Speaking of the aforementioned change of pace, I also appreciated how there were no TVs inside, which created an intimate atmosphere that focused more on conversing with your friends than watching whatever may have been on TV. Finally, as someone who always pays attention to a restaurant's artwork... I absolutely LOVED the artwork that was on display at Goat's. They had so many cool pieces of eclectic artwork, that you could almost consider it as much a small art museum as a restaurant. My favorite art piece is kind of hard to describe, but I guess you could say that it was of a God-like man in a suit controlling somebody who was playing golf. (I know, it's hard to describe, but like I said, it's eclectic.) My one (1) downside to Goat's, and the only thing keeping it from a five-star review, is that the bartender and servers were all pretty rude and arrogant. This is speculation, but maybe Goat's is one of those places that considers itself a "regulars" bar, and isn't very nice to people who aren't regular customers, but the three (3) employees I interacted with weren't all that inviting. All in all, Goat's was a great experience, and if it were an option, I'd probably give it something like 4.5 or 4.8 stars if I could. If the servers were a little less full of themselves, or maybe just in a better mood, I'd consider it a five-star experience. Nevertheless, Goat's was a great experience, I'll definitely be back, and I'd recommend that anybody stop in if they're looking for a unique experience in Five Points!

The breakfast burritos were delicious, the yogurt bowl was yummy plenty of fruit. The S'mores latte was delicious. The service was good , nothing exciting.

When I got the tres leche pancakes I very disappointed there was no taste of tres leche anywhere on those pancakes , all I could taste was regular plain pancakes with syrup , it does come with plantains those were pretty good . I had thought that maybe they would put some tres leche in between the pancakes themselves. But no they were very dry. And the waiter didn't even give me the bacon that came with my pancakes ,I had to ask for it and if i didn't get the bacon.I would have been charged for the bacon . Waiter needs to be more aware of what comes with the plates. Anyway don't order the tres leche pancakes you will be disappointed. No stars for this experience) Overall the restaurant was nice and the other food we got was good.

In addition, my waitress was nice, but I would've liked it if she was a tad more attentive. Although I didn't drink on this occasion, I've been to Publico in the past, and I will say that their margaritas are much better than comparable Mexican places. So, perhaps if you're looking for a Mexican place that has good drinks rather than great food, Publico seems like a nice option. As for the ambiance, it was a cool place. It was dimly lit, and they had TVs all over the back wall where you could watch the day's sporting events. The bar looked like it had a cool vibe as well, and they have a back patio that's perfect for outside dining. All-in-all, I'd probably go back and recommend Publico for drinks and ambiance, but would likely head elsewhere if I'm looking for great Mexican food.

Every time we walk in, we're greeted with that warm, welcoming vibe in the historic Sylvan Building - it's cozy yet elegant, perfect for a special night out or just a really great meal. The food is outstanding: seasonal, fresh ingredients shine through in every dish, and the wine list is impressive (no surprise with their Wine Spectator award). We've tried a variety of plates over our visits, and nothing has missed the mark - always flavorful, beautifully presented, and satisfying. What keeps us coming back (and recommending it nonstop) is how consistently excellent it is. We run Chestnut Cottage Inn just 4 blocks away, so we send our guests here all the time. Without fail, they come back raving about their meal and the great time they had. It's the perfect spot for visitors to Columbia - close by, reliable, and memorable. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and book a table. You won't regret it! Highly recommend for dinner or their weekend brunch.

I had already scoured the menu before coming in so I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted. I love that it's smaller portions so you can order different dishes and try a bunch all at once. We started with the baked brie which I think had an apricot spread plus some fruit and bread. Then we did the petit filet mignon, pork with gorgonzola cream sauce, spicy shrimp gambas, and the seared jumbo scallops. This may sound like too much for two people and you would be right but it was so delicious. I highly recommend everything we had. If I had to choose some standouts, the shrimp were phenomenal and I'm still thinking about them. The biggest surprise was the pork. It was a good size portion in comparison and the cream sauce was so good. Honestly, if you followed this order to a T or any variation of it, you can't go wrong. We weren't rushed in any way so in lieu of dessert we took our time finishing that bottle of wine. While there were some other menu items that jumped out at me, I would absolutely come back and order the exact same thing again. This was one of my favorite meals this year.

Our first experience was outstanding and we will return...OFTEN! For starters, our server was a professional. She is working on her 3rd level certification as a sommelier so it was truly a pleasure talking wine and food with her. Her recommendations were spot on all night long. Next, the menu is the most creative in Columbia. This restaurant is more Charleston-like or big city like with its menu options. Our biggest challenge of the night was deciding what to order. My wife ordered the Gnudi with brisket and is still talking about it. I rolled the dice and decided to try the squid ink pasta with lobster as a test, and I can honestly say they got an A++. I've eaten squid ink pasta in some of the best restaurants in New York, Boston and other major cities, and this was the BEST I have ever eaten. I almost didn't write this review because I selfishly don't want to have to fight for a reservation when this place gets busier, but I DO want it to flourish. Columbia needs more restaurants like City Grit. My only suggestion for them is to offer Valet parking because I had to park so far away that I was sweating by the time I walked all the way back to the restaurant after dropping off my wife.Otherwise, this is a fantastic dinner experience!!!
