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, in 2023 another in Morgan Hill and now back in Mountain View, where they still offer the highest standard of quality food, service, and value to their customers. Bon Appetit!!

    We loved FJL and enjoyed dining and celebrating special events there over the years. So we were thrilled to find the location open as Giorgio’s! So many of our favorites on the menu and service was friendly and the environment cheerful! Winning!

    This was our first visit since the remodel. The inside seating is limited so we sat in the outdoor patio for dinner. It was comfortable with nearby heating lamps. The food was delicious and tasty. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. We would come back again.

    The food is the good, same as when it was Frankie, Johnny and Luigi. Service is the same also, not great. My son ordered off the adult menu because it wasn’t on the kids menu and the waiter offered a child portion which was nice. But when the check came, he was charged for chicken on his pasta which we declined, but was then told that’s what had to be charged since it’s not on the menu. Had we been told, my son could have just eaten the chicken. The indoor seating is very limited. Only 6 tables. We squished my family of 5 into a table really meant for 4 people. I might do take out but wouldn’t eat there again.

    We were thrilled to find that the food was just as good as we remembered it from the “old” days of F, J, & L. The pizza was perfection-delicious crust. Generous and fresh salads, yummy cheese bread, very nice minestrone with tortellini in it. Can’t wait to go back and try some other menu items.

    Food was excellent, I had the Caesar salad (generous portion), shrimp scampi (shrimp a good size, interesting rice, excellent vegetable mixture) and finally the sundae. Glass of CA Savig Blance was very good. Small seating area indoors, large outside dining area in a tent. Attentive service.
