In 1959, Frank and Tina D’Ambrosio decided to start a new restaurant venture along with their “Paisans” Mario and Enza Volpe, after Frank had much success with his first restaurant, the original “Frankie, Johnnie, and Luigi Too! In Mountain View, CA. Named after a good friend of theirs, they opened the original “Giorgio’s” in the Foxworthy Shopping Center in San Jose, CA. One year later, cousins Anthony and Louise Dambruoso, affectionately known to the family as “Sash and Lou”, took control of the restaurant and ran it for the next eight years. Pictures and paintings of these folks still grace the walls of the establishment today. In 1968, Frank’s four sons assumed control of the restaurant and still own and operate it to this day. In 1997 they opened a second location in Milpitas, CA, where they still offer the highest standard of quality food, service, and value to their customers. Bon Appetit!!

Pizza by Jack C. via Judy's Book on 4/6/2014
Their pizza is good. This place is nice and simple.
Phenomenal, Penne Calabrese in a Rosa Sauce. by tory510 via Citysearch on 10/25/2011
This dish, is hearty and exhilarating.\r
Get it with extra sausage.\r
A Rosa sauce is half marinara, half alfredo.\r
Exquisite, this dish is.\r
Reasonable price for portions.
OK... by Topo via Citysearch on 7/23/2010
Although this place has a nice atmosphere, I feel it is overrated and overpriced. Their pizzas aren't anything special, neither are their pastas and sauces, such as the raviolis and Fettuccini. Their bread with garlic butter is the…

this is one of San Jose's best kept secrets. The atmoshphere is family oriented and very Italian. The food is very good and affordable
Georgio's Italian Food & Pizza is a good place for families by Evan I via Insider Pages on 7/1/2009
I love this place. They have a family style takeout available and it is well priced. I had the lasagna and it was great. They also offer good drinks.
Food & service great, management disappointing by bb25 via Citysearch on 8/3/2008
The food is really very good, fresh, and very flavorful. The service is always quite good as well. However, the management staff need to pull it together, its a shame such incompetent people have been put in charge of such a promising…
after 22 years I still love this place by shmedlap via Citysearch on 12/30/2007
I remember when this restaurant was half the size it is now and was just making a name for itself. The food was excellent then as it still is now. The only difference is there is always a waiting list at dinner time now. Do not be…

Fantastic Italian Food by brnsugar33 via Citysearch on 7/2/2007
I have been going to Giorgio's for 15 yrs, by far there in nothing on the menu that I do not like. Great place to take the kids, you can have italian cuisine and the kids authentic hand tossed pizza.
Willow Glen Tradition by celicabob via Citysearch on 5/18/2007
I've been going to Giorgio?s for 35 years and it is by far the best Italian food in the San Jose area! Part of the Frankie, Johnny?s chain, this was the first and still the best! From their hand tossed pizza, pasta or chicken the food is…
good food, family style Italian by P J via Insider Pages on 7/25/2006
Giorgios has good food in a family friendly atmosphere. The waits have always been long when we've gone there and the service a bit slow. I recommend making reservations or going on off-hours.
PROS: good food
CONS: long waits
pizza at its best by julie s via Insider Pages on 7/18/2006
Giorgios is a must for pizza lovers. Their pizza is consistently excellent loaded with lots of cheese and toppings. It's just as good taken out as it is to go. The other food is wonderful too, and portions are never skimpy. I grew up…
Poor Service Good Food by madarasi via Citysearch on 5/28/2006
Nobody in the front to seat us for a long time. Even though we insisted that all food needs to be meatless, they had the wrong sauce with the meat in it. Did not even apologize when they saw that they had screwed up. Too busy to even…
Great Pizza by a3puttdude via Citysearch on 5/19/2006
I've been going to Giorgios for 15 years. For a big delicious meaty pizza you can't beat Frank's Fiasco. I'm a big pizza fan and have never had better! \r
Great food, great restaurant by Diana P via Insider Pages on 4/25/2006
We?ve celebrated many family birthdays and holidays at our favorite Italian restaurant at Giorgio?s. The food is always great and the staff is friendly and they smile a lot! Whether dining in or take out, the quality and value is number…
Great Family Restaurant! by Erin N via Insider Pages on 11/30/2005
We Love Giorgio's. The staff is friendly, the food is consistently good, the service rarely disappoints, and they are great with kids.
We eat at the Foxworthy location 1X every week or 2, and we have never been disappointed. It is a lot of…
Authentic Italian by Virginia G. via Judy's Book on 8/19/2005
Giorgio's is located on Foxworthy Ave right next to Longs Drug Store. It is one of the best Italian restaurants in San Jose. Meals are available at the restaurant or for delivery. There is often a wait of up to an hour to be seated, or…
GIORGIO'S - A Longtime Tradition by rms5324 via Citysearch on 7/26/2005
LONG time family favorite! I was a toddler back in the late 60's the first visit. Waitress carried my to the cook station and gave me a bread stick!! Well it's been ten years and I'll be back in a few weeks to re-visit one of the best…
