There is a small finely…read moredecorred bar tucked discreetly in the back of the restaurant where you can enjoy one of many expertly crafted cocktails or you can just get a table and get down to business, and in an Italian restaurant, that business is eating!! I enjoyed a smoky Bourbon Old Fashion with a tastily prepared arancini appetizer. The rice balls were crispy on the outside and deliciously cheesy on the inside!! Not one, or two but Six came with appetizer, like I said, we were there to eat!! Tempted by the creative menu and the numerous seafood dishes, we opted to keep it old school, chicken cutlet parmigiana!!! A massive cutlet covered with love and a thick layer of oozing hot parmigiana. Fantastic! The cutlets came with a rustic bowl of penne in a tantalizing blush sauce and kissed with some yummy cheese shavings. Completely full, I was unable to explore dessert but I happily managed to cleanse my palette with a complimentary shot of homemade lemoncello which was like a goodbye hug from a staff that was welcoming and attentive throughout our meal. I will be back! To enjoy the seafood dishes while wisely leaving room for dessert!!!

Our waiter was kind and attentive, which was impressive given the obvious crowds during an especially busy day. We ordered some bruschetta to start, which is divine with the a nice bite of cheese and sweet tomatoes. We also ordered some mushroom soup, a staple of Kennett Square, which was SO good. This might've been the highlight for me. It was rich and flavorful without being heavy. For my entree, I ordered the seafood pasta special, which was gorgeous and colorful with shrimp, clams, and mussels in a lobster cream sauce. It was creamy and the fish was very fresh. I didn't pay this time, but it was a bit on the pricier end with entrees ranging from $25-$35. I really loved it here.

Total $300 which DIDN'T include the tip or drinks, SO it was actually a $400 evening, I chose the fillet mignon which was wrapped in a dough pastry and I must say that I was pretty disappointed because when you order fillet, who the hell serves it well done??? That's exactly what I got, a well done filet mignon wrapped in dough (Shameful)..... which wasn't all that great. My date got the mushroom ravioli, which was OK at best I guess. What I'm trying to say is it just wasn't worth dropping $400 for 2 people ( waaay overpriced, hence my disappointment and truthful review) because it was Valentine's Day....... the entertainment was crappy too, some guy who played piano and trumpet and I couldn't even hear him in the room I was in so basically ZERO entertainment I definitely won't be going back here based on this experience, sorry to report.

When we finished our meals I knew that the chef had a real talent for understanding food and I mean really understanding the culinary arts. I told him that I would be writing a review and compared him to Daniel Boulud. I still agree with this statement from what I remember about the meal but it's been a long time coming. My mom ordered the mushroom soup and normally I'm not a fan of mushroom soup but this was INCREDIBLE. The flavors were exquisite and the soup was creamy and the ingredients were fresh. I myself ordered the pasta dish at the time and it was creamy and delicious and flavorful. I know that the rest of my party enjoyed their meals and I knew I needed to speak to the chef. I'm glad I did. He was really nice.

I had the Chicken Caprese, very yummy. Great combination of mozzarella and basil plus gremolata spread. Wow, what portions I actually took home half my sandwich.

The food came out a little slow though but worth it. Starters: Brussel Sprouts: 5/5 delicious and made well. The skin lightly fried but not charred. The dish balance with pieces of bacon and the cheese plays well with the balsamic vinegar. Rib rolls: 4/5 The shredded short ribs could be a bit more moist and flavorful but pairs very well the horseradish aioli. Chicken Alfredo: 5/5 likely on the of the best Alfredo I have had. Grilled chicken was perfect not too dry and flavorful and the noodles cooked to perfection. The sauce was flavorful but not too heavy with cream like most places. Meat Lover Pizza: 4/5 Solid pizza! Well balanced and not overly salty. French Onion Patty Melt: 5/5 Perfect medium cook and delicious. Not too salty. Onions savory and sweet. Perfect crunch of the bread. Chicken Caprese: 4/5 It was good. Pesto brought a nice brightness to balance the heaviness of the fried chicken. Overall: 5/5 a great place that delivers well on their food. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes. You don't leave feeling overall full due to the richness of the dishes

Worst chicken piccata ever experienced...Chewy chicken, poor sauce for sure. No capers. Sauce was thick and starchy. Eggplant and chicken parm was meh. Quality was so so. Red sauce was pretty good. My wife had the beet salad, it was low quality everything. They subbed arugula for lettuce mix. Walnuts were heavily coated in sugar brittle. But my 10 year did like his bruschetta.

We initially planned to have dinner at the restaurant, but our GPS led us to the adjacent sports bar with the same name. We were seated at a high-top table near the bar and greeted by our friendly server. The menu was similar to the restaurant (I think), but regardless, we were looking for pizza and a beer. They offer two styles of crust: NY-style and Neapolitan. We ordered a cheese pizza with the latter wood fired crust. Our pizza arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was fine. The crust was not as light as I thought it should be. The pie was a good size and plenty for both of us. Service was great the entire evening, and we enjoyed our meal.

I visited Giordano's recently after a lovely visit to Longwood gardens. It was a Saturday night and…read morewhat I first noticed upon walking in was that the place was dead, so many open tables. I wasn't sure what to make of it as I would have expected a full house on a Saturday night. I'm going to start with a few opportunities. First, the initial glass of water I was brought was not clean. There was literally some food on the side of it. Second and keeping on the topic of water, the waiter did not come back to fill empty glasses of water. Next, I was looking forward to the tomato garlic bread but it was hard when I but into it. Finally, my counterpart ordered a burger and after eating about half of the burger, each bite was like biting into a pallet of salt. It was like someone accidentally spilled a salt shaker so he obviously couldn't finish it. On the positive side, the place was quiet which was nice, the manager (or maybe it was even the owner) when we asked for more water bought us a carafe so we didn't run out again (which I love), and also when we left I accidentally forgot my takeout container on the table and again the manager (or owner) ran out after us to get it to us which I appreciated so much. Relative to the food, it was average (minus the salt side of the burger which was not good). The soft pretzel appetizer was good and I had lasagne which was decent enough. I will say it was a huge lasagne portion (two squares)! Overall, I'm not sure I'd go back with so many other options.

The sandwich was a little spicy but very good, the macaroni was delicious and they really liked the coleslaw. Two others ordered Korean food and both said they really liked it. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and we really enjoyed our food. The only negative was the restrooms were not very clean. Can't wait to come back!
