About this restaurant

  • Fancy
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
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 the owner Benny welcomes 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.

    Always love Giardino D'Oro. Food is amazing - especially the fresh pasta. I had the TAGLIERINI E PROSCUITTO and it was amazing. Service is always fantastic, super friendly, knowledgeable and not intrusive. Occasionally, it is a bit noisy but not that much that it makes us not come here.

    Will be coming back! Went for an early dinner with my husband and toddler! We had both the grilled veggies and mozzarella appetizers. For the main we had penne vodka, chicken parm, and ravioli. For desert we had cheesecake and crème brûlée. We left very happy and very full! Wait staff were amazing!

    Crazy expensive. Ordered 2 veal parm. Meal came with potatoes for some reason, asked to have spaghetti instead, no problem. It was no problem until they charged me 19.00 each for a small bowl of pasta. Drinks are expensive as well. We had 1 appetizer, 3 meals, 3 wine, 1 gin tonic, 2 espresso and 1 tarimisu $$$$$ 400.00, pretty steep. It's an ok restaurant not sure how they are justifying their prices.

    Giardino D’oro has been our favorite restaurant for so many years, but this time we were disappointed.  we ordered their daily special tomahawk steak. For $195 the steak was not nearly as big as we anticipated and relative to their other manui tems, this seemed to be way overpriced.
