Around Christmas 2024, we stayed in the area while visiting family but didn't know about Geraldi's…read moreat the time. In January 2025, we visited the small town of Floyd, VA and ate at an amazing little Italian restaurant called Geraldi's. (It was such a great experience that you should read the separate review we wrote for that location.) While there, we met Albert, the owner, who shared with us that his grandson Joe owns Geraldi's in McMinnville, OR. We told Albert that we had just been in McMinnville and promised that we would visit his grandson's restaurant on a future trip to visit family in the area. This visit, we made sure to plan a stop at Geraldi's--and we did just that today, two days before Christmas 2025. We arrived a little before 4:00 PM and walked inside. The exterior is well maintained and there was ample parking available. Inside, the ordering process is straightforward: you order at the counter, take a seat with the order number stand, and your food is brought out when it's ready. There's a menu board behind the counter, and hard-copy menus are conveniently located on both sides of the entrance. The kitchen is completely open behind the counter, so you can watch everything as the food is prepared, which we always enjoy. My wife ordered the chef salad with added grilled chicken, along with a side of two meatballs. We remembered just how good the meatballs were at the Floyd, VA location and hoped they would live up to that memory. I ordered a small (14-inch) calzone with pepperoni and sausage, which comes with a side of marinara. When our meals arrived at the table, the portions were huge. The chef salad was loaded with fresh ingredients and the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked. The meatballs absolutely lived up to expectations, tender, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The calzone was massive, even for the "small" size, with a generous amount of filling and a nicely baked crust. The marinara was rich and well-balanced, pairing perfectly with each bite. Overall, this visit felt like a continuation of the same family tradition and quality we experienced in Floyd, VA. It's clear that pride and consistency carry through the generations. If you're in McMinnville and craving Italian comfort food made well, Geraldi's is absolutely worth the stop.

If going as a couple or a four top I would recommend a reservation. That's how good it is. Indoor space is tight but enough to accommodate. They supplement with outdoor seating it is out doors not tented. A true family run restaurant. Great service attention to detail. Attention to details. Inside of a house and fabulous artwork. I recommend the special whatever it is. They always do something tasty and delicious. Desserts are made in house also. Be prepared for foodgasm. Highly recommend.

Water came But no menus. We brought wine and were told 3 times about corking fee from same girl. Ok. Yes we know. About 10 minutes go by and we get wine glasses because the manager noticed. She had to come back to open the bottle after bringing glasses. We get a couple appetizers. Fries and panna bread. No dishes or napkins yet. Or silverware. We stole them from two tables to use Our pizza shows. $87 for 3 small/ medium pizzas. Mine a meat stuff double. Hardly 5 pieces of pepperoni and I had to dig for the buried sausage and I don't think saw much else. $37 for that ugh. Fried were good tasting with aioli and fair for $8. Really don't know what their value out is there? And one final comment for our waitress, I don't want to know you have Calvin Klein underwear on, please wear a shirt that covers up your stomach or some pants that aren't low hip hugging. Dropping $100 at a place to stare at someone's underwear band while you're ordering isn't very appetizing.

We are so happy we finally had the opportunity to try Pizza Capo after seeing it several months ago…read morewhile passing through town. We stopped in on a Friday night on our return from the coast. We arrived 30 minutes before they closed (too close for comfort, but we wanted to try), so I asked the host if they could still seat us. And while they weren't enthusiastic (I know I wouldn't be), we got a table and were promptly and warmly welcomed by our server. Even with only half an hour to close, we didn't feel rushed, and they took the time to explain the menu and offered suggestions. My lobster and I split a small arugula salad (which was indeed plenty!). It was simply dressed and packed full of flavor. I don't know why my basic salads at home don't taste this good. He got the sausage calzone, and I ordered the mushroom pizza. Both of our mains were delish. The sausage in the calzone was fennel forward, which we love. The fried sage atop my mushroom pizza was a delightful addition, and I'm not even a big fan of sage. Hey, people grow and change! The space itself is cozy and inviting. We look forward to returning for an earlier dinner so we can try the cocktails and dessert.

I have had beer from Stickmen Brewing before but since it was my first time to McMinnville earlier…read morethis summer I decided to go to all (most would be more accurate) of the breweries that were in town and the Stickmen location of course was on the agenda to visit. My beer of choice here was a Blonde/ Golden Ale that went by the name the Bee's Knees. This beer was good enough... I would not say it put me into five star orbit but I am a snob with rating things on Yelp. Despite that the experience with this beer was solid and enjoyable enough. For the flavor profile in this beer look for a naturally sweet flavor and a presence of honey. The beer is smooth in body and is nice and light bodied. It was a fun beer to try no doubt and it was nice to revisit the beers of this brewery once again.

I am told...They had great alcoholic beverages (said half of our party-not everyone had alcohol). The food was mixed reviews. 1) steak bites were delicious. Blue cheese butter is thebomb.com. 2) everything else was sub par. Burger was supposed to be med-rare, came out well done/jerky. Pizza was raw dough, not melted cheese and they pulled it "because the sides were burning." They could have put foil around it and actually cooked it. OR recommend we stick with regular pizza dough when we confirmed we don't have an allergy but was wanting a "lighter" low carb pizza. They also had an anecdote of another customer who ordered the cauli pizza but served them regular dough and it was a true food allergy and a problematic experience for the customer (??? Why would you choose to share that? lol). Tbh a nuked hot pocket will cook the cheese better than our pizza was. Salads were ok. Nothing to rave about. Desserts were ok I'm told. Didn't have any myself. I was done at that point. Service needs improvement. Not just weird PTSD patronage stories shared, but I felt bad dragging family out to the area so I tried paying without them knowing, slipping the credit card toward the waitress without everyone at the table noticing. And she knocked the card out of my hand when reaching for plates, announcing that "your credit card fell." I don't care if it was my bday or not I wasn't going to make my family pay for this meal. I would not come back and I don't recommend it. For everything it was ~$160 +40 tip which I feel salty about giving considering the quality of our meal and service. I'm a good tipper regardless of experience because it's the right thing to do/pay it forward, etc. but I was pissed driving home lol for $200 I could have picked up steak and lobster and cooked at home.
