  • I had really high hopes and expectations for this restaurant, not because of Giada's celebrity status, but having been a fan of her on FN for years, and having used her recipes hundreds of times, I know this woman is legit. And the experience, from start to finish, did not disappoint. The restaurant décor is exactly what you'd imagine Giada's restaurant to look like. It's beautiful. The view is beautiful, the dining area is beautiful, the bar, ditto. The one odd thing about the night were the number of hostesses huddled around the front of the restaurant. I know it gets busy so when one leaves to escort diners to their table, another takes over, but it was a little mob-like. Anyway, that is honestly the only off thing I felt the entire night. The service was absolutely wonderful. Our server, Jeff, could not have been more perfect. The right balance of informative and helpful without being over bearing. He suggested a sampler to start. On our plate, we had the dates, bruschetta, and peppers. The bruschetta was yummy. The peppers were so fresh, it was as if they were freshly picked from a farmer's market that day. The dates were out of this world! My BF ordered the lobster ravioli for dinner. The ravioli were generally stuffed with delicately spiced lobster. I think he ate the entire plate in less than three minutes. Seriously, it was that good. I ordered the lemon spaghetti with shrimp. This is honestly the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. The shrimp were huge and perfectly cooked. The pasta, so fresh. The lemon sauce is absolutely divine. And the sprinkle of fried capers on top, perfection. The wine list was nice, not crazy big. They had lots of options for wine by the glass. The pours themselves, I thought, were on the large side and that's a GREAT thing. Giada was everything I expected it to be. I will definitely be back and would highly recommend! Tip: if you want to try your hand at making the lemon spaghetti, foodandwine.com has Giada's recipe. Everything down to the fried capers. I made the dish two nights after dining at Giada's and, but for not having fresh pasta (still working on that), the recipe is spot on for what you get in the restaurant. It was really, really good. In fact, I'm making it again tonight :)
