by Orange22 at Citysearch

went to Ginos last nite, they took a few signature dishes off the new menu, no shrimp scampi, chicken florentine, sole. no garlic bread !! service was slower then usual. did gordon ramsey make a visit cos' if not the new mgmt screwed the pooch on this one. chix rollintine with spinich came out with a dark sauce, it was ok but looked nasty. if they don't go back to the old menu, it will be matteos

how the mighty have fallen

by precious2000 at Citysearch

this used to a really good upscale pizzeria. now the previous owner died and the relatives have taken over. changes are being made slowly and not for the better. the coffee/cappuccino is really good but at close to 5 bucks a cup, and from what i see no refills ,it better be! the wait staff is excellent but who knows how they are going to fare out with the new management. the prices are high but always have been. before it was worth the extra money but not anymore. trying to stay with it and hopefully ride out the bad decisions but it is getting harder to do so. if you are looking for a place keep looking-this one isn't worth it anymore.

Popular As a Legendary Place, Not the Food

i live within the area and the few block walk is not even worth it...the only reason this place gets 2 stars is for the italian ices, for being around so long, and then people are nice.

I have taken pizza back home AND I have sat for dinner at this establishment - both times I got very sick from the pizza - maybe it sat out too long?

Go across the street in the Waldbaum's parking lot to Joes pizza - the place doesn't look fantastic but the pizza is AMAZING!

You're Still The One

Gino's is one of the best resturants I have ever eatten at, and I have been everywhere. The food is fabulous and the portions are generous. With an Entree' you get salad and pasta. No free refills though. I have been eatting there for 34 years and never has any wait staff ever given me or my family a complimetary glass of wine or some small gesture that keeps people coming back. I guess the owner dosent feel it necessary because he has them ling up outside. But I think a small gesture like that goes a long way, especially in this economy. Most other eatery's practice this, and it really makes a difference. I think they should also get new items on their menu like potatoes as a side dish and add some great salads with different dressings.I think they just put the resturant next door out of business. They had a great inviting store front but the food was bad. So all in all, Gino's is still up there on my list.

Pros: Delious Food

Cons: Parking, crowded

• Pros: Generous Portions with sides, Delicious
• Cons: No soda refills, crowded
