Il Giardino Ristorante Italiano

I’ve been coming here to see Mikey and his family for over three years. We’ve relaxed on the patio in the summer months, cozied up in the function room for a birthday party, stopped for amaretto coffee’s and dessert in the evening, and had far too much wine at lunch on numerous occasions.
The atmosphere is delightfully Italian, very warm and inviting. The servers are knowledgeable and authentic, and the meals… gorgeous Italian delicacies, always fresh fresh fresh :)
MIkey, along with his family & staff (hard to tell the difference) have been here for years, their recipe for success being top-​shelf hospitality and fantastic food.
In the summer the patio is always packed, and around Christmas you won’t get a table without a reservation.
Like I always say, save room for dessert! Undoubtedly the best Tiramisu in the city.
Salute!

One of the best ITALIAN meals I’ve had ever… I’m soooooooooooo taking Jose there when he gets back.
I went there for the 1^st time last week and shared the Seafood Dinner for 2 called the Scodella Tutti Pesci 7 course meal… YUPPERS 7 course
Cost $ 89.95 so worth all the food that you get,
1. Bruschetta
2. Calamari
3. Salad
4. Pasta of the day
5. Alaskan Crab legs, Jumbo shrimp, Jumbo Scallops, Fish of the day (we had Salmos) in a Lemon Butter sauce
6. Gelato
7. Coffee
The best god damn home made marinara and lemon butter sauce ever!!!
I will go again and again

I love work functions! They allow you to go to a nice, up-​scale restaurant that you wouldn’t normally take yourself too.
Il Giardino is a beautiful little Italian restaurant on the corner of 17^th Ave and 4^th Street SW. It’s got a lovely bistro-​style feel to it, with an authentic Italian feel. The interior of the place is nicely decorated with red, green and gold. The mood is very sensual and gives off a romantic vibe. I would say it’s a great date idea. Hint, hint, boyfriends!
Since we were having a work party, and there were at least 15 of us there, the wine was provided by the restaurant, which was a nice change. We were served quickly and at the perfect times. As soon as everyone was finished the first course, they cleared the table and served the next one. It was like we were the only people in the place, or at least we were the most important.
The prices might be a little high at this place, but what do you expect from a classy restaurant? I think it’s worth it to have a nice meal with someone you care about. Il Giardino definitely provides a good time, with good food and good ambiance.

A — List. Recommended. Some of the best food in town. Excellent service. Nice ambiance. When the place is packed the energy in the room is as good as anywhere. This one is a winner. Use the Entertainment book, $ave and enjoy every bite. Yum.
