Giardino D'oro
Calamari sauteed with Garlic, virgin olive Oil, Cherry Peppers & tomato sauce over Capellini. Scaloppini of veal sauteed with shiitake mushroom, cherry peppers, holland roasted peppers and balsamic reduction. As you all know NYC got it pretty bad with Hurricane Sandy, Some of you may not know most of the business district and the South Street Sea Port is still shut down, many business said they will never go back.

Even the flagship's store of Abercrombie & Fitch may not return and still boarded up. Giardino D'oro got hit bad at the worst timing possible, as November and December are our busiest months of the year. A week before Thanksgiving we've decided to have it up and running in 14 days. I think we did the impossible, while others are still shut down.
Services
Nestled away on winding Gold Street in Manhattan's venerable Financial District, Giardino D'Oro is indeed a golden garden as its name translates. All that is charming about Italy comes to life as co-owners Benny Jakupaj and Nick Vuli welcome even newcomers with open arms.

At Giardino D'Oro, food is indeed art with the fine Italian cuisine replete with antipasti, fresh rolled pastas, exquisite meat and seafood dishes, mouth-watering desserts, and an extensive wine list.Attentive yet discreet service in an intimate setting with strains of Sinatra softly crooning in the background set the scene for power lunches as well as romance.

I just there yesterday and the food was excellent. The sea bass and mixed seafood pasta was truly exceptional. The staff was friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. I rate this place 11 out 10. Yes, it was that delish.

Insulting. Meager portions at ridiculously high prices. Poor quality food. Officious waiter who corrected my pronunciation. "Food" is a euphemism.

This was one of the best meals I've ever had from start to finish. If you're in NYC and want a great place to dine - do yourself and loved ones a favor and bring them here!

Bad attitude and bad service, they argue that our reservation was cancelled. It showed on their side that it was cancelled, but on my side I never did. Anyhow, they were not willing to acomódate nor were any showing of kindness (on Christmas Eve) what a bad experience. I really had high hope to experience New York Italian cuisine!

Ate dinner here with some family last night and the whole experience was incredible. Luigi our server was top notch and so was the rest of the staff. The food was delicious in every way. The quality and freshness of the meal was something special. I go out to eat at many places and this is right up there with many of my favorite places on Arthur Ave in the Bronx. After you meal make sure you save room for dessert. Tried three of them; the panda cotta, the crème brûlée, and the chocolate cake. All decadent and delicious.

We walked in when the kitchen was about to close. They were extremely accommodating. We ordered soon and food came out quick.

The food was great. Everyone liked their pasta.

Again the service was old school friendly. You do not find that any more.

Giardino D'Oro has very tasty food. An old world Italian restaurant in the FiDi, you can be sure that the bread and cheese and antipasti they bring you before the meal even starts will be delicious, the dessert tray with ricotta cheesecake and cannoli will be irresistible, and the list of specials and fresh pasta will be as long as the menu itself.

But what really makes this place special is the service. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted as family, despite never being there before. Our waiter was the most congenial and welcoming person I've seen in hospitality in years. He

Classic Italian restaurant that is a little hidden but worth finding. The Veal Parmigiana was excellent and agree that the Spaghetti Carbonara is "done the right way" as stated in their menu - it's probably the best version that we have had in NYC!

I can see the charm and why so many love Giardino D'oro. Worth every penny. What a fantastic dish Osso Buco Milanese was. Totally heavenly. Workers made sure everything was ok. Fabulous place to visit with family, friends, and significant others.

Giardino D'oro is certainly a gem of the area. The location is great, just a little hard to find. The menu is really excellent, many very good choices, I had to go with Antipasto, and it was outstanding. There weren't many people there so the wait staff was very attentive. But, seriously. Giardino D'oro - Really, really good..

Giardino D'oro you are simply fantastic, I had a lovely experience here yesterday. A very unique environment. I could have ordered every single thing off the menu so I settled on Osso Buco Milanese. Absolutely delicious. The team was extremely pleasant and service is great. You will really like Giardino D'oro.

I have to admit, Giardino D'oro was certainly superb. I can't even begin to explain how ecstatic Giardino D'oro makes me. My friend had Scallops, which I tried and also liked. It was so flavorful. Really courteous, attentive and experienced. Definitely recommending this place to my friends!

Oh my God, Giardino D'oro was phenomenal. Super clean. My friend had many different items from their menu, but he thinks that their Burrata is just simply marvelous. All of the staff are super friendly - you most certainly feel welcome and taken care of. I'll always return to Giardino D'oro.

Giardino D'oro is simply rather wonderful. Can't wait to try everything off the menu here. My friend got Antipasto, that I tried and also loved. It was really flavorful. Service was amazing and every one working here was very nice and generous. I will certainly return to Giardino D'oro when I'm in the area again.

First time since moving across the street at 2 Gold Street. The food was superb and the wait staff friendly and non pushy. A very relaxed meal that was prepared superbly. The desert which was also fantastic, I highly recommend this Italian gem.

Wow, Giardino D'oro was truly spectacular. I was left speechless. My friend had several items from their menu, but he feels that their Osso Buco Milanese is just simply amazing. The staff was incredible, literally every one. Found Giardino D'oro with the help of yelp and would return at any time.

We absolutely love this place! The food was great. The wine was fabulous, and the management and staff go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and like a "regular" customer. From the Sinatra music playing, to the cozy upscale ambiance, we had an amazing experience. If you're in the financial district area, and love great Italian, seafood, or steaks, this is a must.

In-person dining is now open. We have lived within two blocks for the last six years and never managed to get there, in spite of recommendations from a number of friends. We went the other night and absolutely loved it.

The carbonara was particularly good, and the saltimboca was outstanding.

I lived in Europe for many years and have spent a good deal of time in Italy and this is the real deal, similar to what I've had there.
