Giorgio Baldi Santa Monica Reviews
My second time visiting this establishment.
Love it every time. Food. Ambience. Service. All the best Ambience - that Friday night was super busy. Service slower than usual but i was not at all mad. It's really nice inside and you can enjoy wine. Seems like they have a lot of it Servi

I have a lot to say about this place but I'll try to keep it short. I came here for dinner on the recommendation from a friend who said it used to be one of their favorite places. After having dined there, I can say that the allure has nothing t
The ambiance is horrible.
The restaurant is old and dirty inside. Service was less than mediocre. We got a few pasta which were good and Dover sole which was freezing cold, paper thin and the potatoes that came with it were cold and inedible. I'll never return. 87$ for a

You can taste and feel the love, the passion, the simplicity. This place is divine. Every time, I have such a great meal and experience. Passion wins.

Food is genuinely delicious-funghi risotto, branzino with artichokes and potatoes & spinach, languostino imperiale, all chefs kiss. Service is impeccable and the wondefulness of the candlelit tables makes the dinner romantic and delightful. Come

Food was fantastic and service was amazing prego ! GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL DONE
Still great!
Back again, 2-3 years later. Again wondering if my first experience was a one-off, as I absolutely loved it. Found out in December I'd be in LA in June, called immediately to make a reservation...nope, they don't take them till 1 month ahea

I'd read many great reviews about Giorgio Baldi - the food and the patrons - so I decided it would be my one special meal out during my weeklong vacation in Santa Monica last week. I made a reservation at 8pm. The hostess was friendly when I a
This place is living off its reputation.
Pasta is good. Not great. Service is good. How they can get by building inspectors with the tables so crammed together is curious.
Extremely disappointing.
It doesn't live up to the hype. Service was poor, especially considering it is supposed to be a nice restaurant. Dishes came out staggered. Half the table got their first course and by the time everyone was served, the first people to be served

I had to check this place out after hearing so much about it! It's located close to the PCH, but still accessible coming the other way. The restaurant is in a small underwhelming building. Once inside the tables are small and close together. I w
HUGE and LIMP
visiting south California for the past 2 decades , especially 90201 and Santa Monica not once did I hear the name of this establishment .When my friends suggested this being like "e-Baldi " or Dalmatian JOSO'S in Toronto I jumped to
Very disappointing
Food nice, but very small portions and grossly overpriced. We were rushed out once we decided not to have dessert, and our waiter, who seemed as though he couldn't be bothered, did not advise us that a slightly larger portion of pasta which we
Good time
It was the best italian food we had in Los Angeles. The pasta, the salads, and the tiramisu were insane! 10/10! The vibe also was very nice, we were sitting outside!
Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cheese sauce was divine.
Also the asparagus side was next level awesome. My friend ordered pasta and they brought her the wrong thing but it was so delicious pasta with truffle she ate it. Only concerns are that the service was slow -but the food will come out steaming hot
Usually the lack of presentation is supplanted by great
Usually the lack of presentation is supplanted by great taste. Unfortunately, the dining experience here lacked both. The gnocchi in a white watery 'truffle' sauce came out looking like sad cafeteria food (think watery beans in a bowl) and tasted as
We came here on a Thursday evening, reservations for 2.
We started with the meatball appetizer. For an appetizer it was perfect portion so you're not filling up before your meal. My daughter ordered the gnocchi and I ordered the clam pasta with white wine sauce special. I don't agree with other reviews ab

The service is very low, the waiter handed me a plate over other food, perhaps there was debris or hair flying from his clothes. It's very surprising why media people visit this place, because there is nothing special there. The toilet is dirty and t

Hey yelp family this Ristorante picture is very deceptive once you go to this place and order they give you a child size portion. My three daughters went there for one of their sister's birthday last night and they were very unhappy. They will not be

Horrible food, horrible decor, horrible service, definitely the worst Italian restaurant I ever tried . When I see the hype about this place it show the level of knowledge of food the Hollywood stars and the people of LA have So sad
Excellent food & service.
You will enjoy yourself so come hungry. Great wine selection, authentic, fresh
Expensive, but delicious
The food is the BEST! The service was slow (it does get busy), and they don't have a full bar (mostly wine and some beer options...the wine list is $$$$), but it's my wife's favorite place and the food is delicious (although smaller portions).

Yes, it is a hyper establishment (paparazzi wait outside) where my friend wanted to celebrate her birthday at after delivering her baby 2 months prior. She even brought the baby and they accommodated the Nuna. We got a lot of stares at our table for
Expensive, excellent restaurant with one major fault
Six of us went for a birthday dinner at this much heralded restaurant. The food was overall quite good to excellent, the ambiance was virtually non-existent and it was fairly loud. The prices are high, the wine list extensive and expensive, but we

Though the wait staff and food is very good, the hostess put a damper on our evening. Seated, without looking at us, she could not find our reservation. It was early, there were few tables occupied, and even after we showed her the confirmation text
The pastas were excellent.
However, they were quite small and overpriced. We shared 1 appetizer, 3 pastas, and a steak among three people and we were still hungry. But that wasn't the biggest issue. The bad review is really for the atrocious service. The hostess was so unfrien

Oh my love! My favorite hidden gem, always consistent
Oh my love! My favorite hidden gem, always consistent goodness. My serial faves are the sweet corn ravioli, lobster for two and the butterscotch pudding. The most romantic, authentic Italiano ristorante in LA. Truly an unpretentious, locals spot.

Of course we only dined here because of Rih and I feel like she has her own special menu because this place is definitely hyped. Regardless, I ordered the pumpkin ravioli with sage butter and it was delicious. The ravioli just melted in your mouth an
The underwhelming review's are so WRONG.
Great food,great service and the BEST scene in LA
If you're feeling nostalgia for getting scammed in Italy,
If you're feeling nostalgia for getting scammed in Italy, come to this place. There is really nothing special. First they wanted to sit us in the back corner in the backyard patio next to a table with a large dog to be seated next to us while eating.
Absolutely excellent
Absolutely loved it. And I was a bit nervous, some of the reviews (3.5 tripadvisor, really?!) aren't great. Just everything was great. Perspective: I eat in 1, 2, 3 Michelin star restaurants relatively often, I rarely go to Italian restaurants thoug
Somewhere to avoid!
When a restaurant starts with a person who ignores you in favour of a chat to a friend you should take that as a sign that it’s not going to go well. It didn’t. If your not in the main restaurant then leave. Even then be sure you raise issues if

Amazing Food
We were on a girls weekend and went for dinner on a Sun night. We were dressed casual chic and fit in with the crowd (we are a group of girls from Canada, not famous). Our wait staff were a bit on the snooty side so we felt like we didn't quite bel

This place was once wonderful when Giorgio was alive, but his daughter has run it into the ground as a tourist trap. Avoid and try Angelini or Delphini nearby.
Reservations are highly recommended.
They do take walk-ins, but just make it easier on yourself and make reservations. The main dining area is fairly small, but they have a covered Covid created seating area with heating lamps and faux grass which is where I sat. They serve compliment

Another over-rated restaurant riding on its former reputation. Food is good but tiny TINY portions and very expensive. Waiters are rude. The place is pretentious and not worth it.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Giorgio Baldi Santa Monica at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Giorgio Baldi Santa Monica page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Giorgio Baldi Santa Monica to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Giorgio Baldi Santa Monica!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
