Truly great experience from beginning to end. Walked in gave them the name of the reservation and he said it would be a few minutes and within five minutes we were sitting down. The service was outstanding! The food was delicious! Definitely will be back, especially when they have entertainment. Kudos to you, Donny Greco for making the evening memorable!

Wow! I can’t say enough good things about Giardino. From the service to the food to the cocktails, everything was phenomenal. The flavors were perfection and complemented each other in such a good way. The ambiance in the restaurant was cheerful and bright—definitely will be such a compliment to this beautiful city. Downtown Aurora has needed a concept like this for a long time and Giardino did not miss the mark. The meatballs were so flavorful, the burrata and prosciutto—chefs kiss! We had three pizzas and two different pastas, all of which were so delicious. I am so so happy that this gem is right in downtown Aurora. I can’t wait to come back again!
