Everything was incredibly clean and tidy, including the bathrooms which were decorated with hilarious quirky signage. Staff was super helpful answering my questions and patient while I studied the menu and made last minute changes so I could get the literal perfect sandwich of my dreams. I almost cried with happiness once I gazed upon the deliciousness before me- it was absolutely epic and perfectly portioned not too much and definitely not skimpy AND was still nice and warm when I got home. I can tell that the manager of this establishment takes pride in making sure they are delivering the best product and service! Thanks y'all I'll definitely be back!

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.

I could not recommend this restaurant to any living soul. The second I walked in I noticed a group of people sitting near the windows who were choosing to talk very loudly. After getting my food and sitting down I had more time to listen in as they were loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear. They were white nationalist terrorists plotting to shoot people to usher in the second coming of Jesus. It was the worst experience in a restaurant in my life. If I could've gotten their information I would've reported them to the police. If you ever find yourself in the area and wanting a sandwich please look elsewhere. read more

I've always enjoyed the sandwiches from this establishment. Unfortunately, sandwiches with a side of bigotry doesn't sit well with this household. When your business posts a comment wishing harm to another human for supporting Pride month, then your establishment does not deserve our business. Plenty of other options in this town - thanks for showing us this side of your "humanity"; now we know where NOT to eat. read more

We were warmly greeted when we arrived. The menu is a little confusing for vegetarians, but we figured it out. Basically you can pick whatever is on the menu and choose what protein you want on it. We really wanted falafel however it's no longer available. They use a pea protein instead. Minus a star here as I think the pea protein while tasty, really changes the dishes we had. I had a shawarma wrap, SCW a gyro and we also got an order of hummus which came with pita. The food itself was good. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The tomatoes stood out for me as better than usual. The pea protein was tasty but added a different flavor profile than I was really looking for. When you want falafel it just doesn't taste the same. The hummus was good as was the pita bread. The service was great. I enjoyed the meal but I would not seek it out again simply because of the pea protein option. Of course it's great they offer a meat substitute but it wasn't something I would seek out for Mediterranean food.

If you're a food vendor and your notes specify to bring up any issues with the waiter, and you do, and then you don't do anything at all, then you deserve 1 star. Sorry, no excuses. No making it right after the fact. Just no! The food was something less than stellar. The Margherita Pizza was just a cheese pizza with some tomatoes and pesto and looked nothing like some of the other delicious pizzas on the Furioso page (go ahead and compare). The charcuterie board only had 2 cheeses (when it should have had 3) and was pitiful and bare looking. It didn't have olives either (the menu indicated it did). We told the waiter and that was it, nobody from the food truck stopped to say anything or offer anything in addition. He said he told the chef and the chef updated the web site. WTF? That's the remedy? Just change the menu... great job, Wooden Heart. Even if you only had 2 cheeses due to supply shortages, bring more of another one to us. Something! At least walk over to our table and say something. I know it's not Furioso's fault, but one of the reasons I wanted to go to Furioso was the delicious looking food as well as the views. Furioso delivered on the views, but for service and food quality, both Furioso and Wooden Heart failed miserably.
