   The service was awesome. Great help with the wine, had a beautiful glass of Italian white. Split a Caesar salad and it was delicious. My wife had the Gorgonzola gnocchi which was good, a little rich though. I had the carbonara with the shrimp. Not a lot of flavor, even with the bacon.

   Very expansive menu. Had two my go to's: Cioppino and Paella. Settled on the Paella and ordered a large portion. While not quite traditional Paella (the menu says "our take") it was quite good and full of meat and seafood. I took almost half of it home. I may have to force myself to try something different on our next visit. My wife ordered the pork medallions Marsala and she was very pleased with that choice. Her leftovers went home to our daughter, who had them for dinner after work and was also impressed. We went on a Wednesday night, so there was not a large crowd and the noise level was low. The outdoor seating would be very enjoyable on a summer night. BTW - we went there to celebrate our 47th Valentine's Day together and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

   Have been coming here for years. Food was good as usual but one server for a whole dining room is not enough. He worked so hard but delays were inevitable. Hope they can staff up soon.

   Busy Valentine's Day. The food was great! The service was less than par for this restaurant. I think the wait staff did a great job but were overwhelmed.

   Had a very nice Valentine’s Day Dinner. Girardi’s always has great food and service. Kinda wished they had made a little more effort to recognize Valentine’s Day. A few flowers or decorations would have been nice.

   Had an early Valentine’s dinner date. Service and food were exceptional. We enjoyed our food and drinks and the affogato was perfection. Our server was the best. She was on top of everything and she was fun and friendly.

   *I called the restaurant to make a reservation and they said they were completely booked and couldn’t get us in. I was then able to make a reservation through Open Table *Our waitress was hurried, unfriendly and impatient *The “risotto” with “jumbo” prawns in ordered was NOT risotto! It was just a big pile of rice pilaf with regular size prawns. *I sent this dish back and opted for the Pesto Linguine with “Jumbo” prawns. After 8 minutes (and my family eating their entrees) mine arrived. It was watery pesto and they had clearly reused the prawns from my original dish. Prawns were now overcooked and rubbery. *I didn’t eat my entree and refused to pay for it. So disappointing.

    Wonderful service and food. Feels like home - our wait person, Sig, felt like a member of the family. The staff is unobtrusively efficient and accommodating.
