Da Giorgio
About This Spot

The cozy dining room hums softly with conversations, punctuated by gentle laughter and the clink of glasses, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that's both relaxed and subtly elegant.
Inside this modest space, details like fresh-baked bread arriving still warm at the table and the rich aromas of herbs and spices coiling through the air remind you that every plate here is crafted with care. The experience unfolds naturally, from crisp starters like golden calamari and tender clams to mains that echo coastal Italy’s love for simple, vibrant seafood and hand-rolled pastas. Each bite invites you to slow down, to discover tastes shaped by tradition yet touched with a subtle contemporary spirit.
The staff at Da Giorgio add a personal touch that feels familiar without being overbearing. Their attentiveness blends seamlessly into the background, supporting the evening’s flow while letting you focus on the connection around the table.

Da Giorgio offers more than just food; it offers a quiet celebration of hospitality and the simple pleasure of being truly present with those who gather.

Had an amazing Birthday dinner here tonight with the family. From the food to the staff and service everything was exceptional. A nice small spot where you can enjoy a beautiful relaxing dinner. For appetizers we tried the Fried calamari and Clams Oreganata. Both of which were great. For dinner we all tried different specials and everybody was very happy with their dish. I personally enjoyed their “Chicken Granda” which I was very much looking forward to. Let me tell you it did not disappoint! The chicken cutlet was done perfectly, the cheese was incredibly fresh and all of the sauces were delicious. Would definitely order this dish again. I had a side of their penne vodka with my dish as well and must say their pasta tastes exceptional! I believe it is made in house so that makes sense. Would love to try one of their pasta entrees in the future. Thanks again for the wonderful night! Me and my family can’t wait to come back.

Da Giorgio’s – A Hidden Gem of Italian Excellence in New Rochelle! Walking into Da Giorgio in New Rochelle feels like stepping through a portal straight to Southern Italy. Tucked unassumingly in a modest strip mall on Quaker Ridge Road, this small, cozy restaurant immediately wraps you in warmth and old-world charm. It’s intimate — seating just about 45 guests — making it feel like you’ve been personally invited into Chef Giorgio’s own kitchen. The food? Absolutely outstanding. Every dish at Da Giorgio’s bursts with authenticity and passion, a direct reflection of Chef Giorgio Giacinto’s Calabrian roots and formal training in Italy. You can taste the dedication to fresh, high-quality ingredients in every bite. We started our meal with their Stuffed Meatball Calabrese, a hearty masterpiece packed with beef, veal, pork, and oozing with house-made mozzarella. It was rich, tender, and seasoned to perfection. For the pasta course, the Squid Ink Spaghetti with Crab was a showstopper — the handmade pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sweet crab meat married beautifully with the deep, briny flavor of the squid ink. A must-try! Then came the Rigatoni Da Giorgio, featuring luscious filet mignon cubes bathing in a decadent cognac sauce. The flavors were bold yet refined, and the portion generous without being overwhelming. Specials change daily based on what’s freshest, and judging by the perfection of every plate, I have no doubt you could close your eyes and pick anything off the menu and leave thrilled. Service at Da Giorgio is equally spectacular. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food they’re serving. You can feel the pride they have in the restaurant — and they’re quick to offer fantastic wine pairings and recommend house favorites. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming — candlelit tables, soft Italian music in the background, and an inviting, unpretentious atmosphere that lets the food be the true star of the evening. In short: Da Giorgio is a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic, soulful Italian dining experience. It’s the kind of restaurant where you savor every bite and start planning your next visit before you even leave the table. Make a reservation — because once you eat here, you’ll understand why it’s become a local legend.

Go for the reviews - leave shaking your head saying “those reviews were on-point”. The only annoying part, and not worth deducting even 1/4 of a star, is the pushy “ we need your entire order right away because everything is made to order” jargon. They do it to speed you along as you can’t get your apps until you order your main meal. But even with that and not having a reserved table ready on time - this place is 100% worthy of ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Hands down the best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. Georgie knows what he is doing back in that kitchen. His staff is super attentive, informative and kind. We were greeted with a smile and they never left a dirty or empty dish on our table. The grandmas chicken is off the charts. The steak was fantastic. We also had baked clams and fried calamari with peppers. Everything was unbelievable. I will be coming here weekly from now on!
