Giordano's is one of our favorite restaurants to eat at when visiting Chicago so we were pleased to see that it had made its way to the Las Vegas Strip. While in town for NYE, we figured it was only appropriate to have it as our last meal of 2016. Our strategy was to eat here for an early dinner and have the leftovers for a late-night hangover snack (thinking ahead ). We ordered our staple, The Chicago Special with added sausage, and also decided to try The Sample as an appetizer. The garlic cheese bread on The Sampler was delicious as well as the loaded potatoes bites. Of course, our pizza was tasty. I always recommend adding giardiniera if you want an extra kick of flavor! The couple next to us saw us order it on the side and decided to try it themselves... they became instant fans!
The staff here was extremely friendly and our server, Leon, was great and accommodated everything we needed. I was also happy to see that this location didn't price gouge simply because they're in the heart of The Strip... everything was on par with what you'd pay at any of the other locations. They have two dining areas - one on the promenade and then the main restaurant. I recommend dining in the main restaurant as it has an amazing view which is great for dinner. We also noticed that there are retractable doors towards the back which I'm sure will make for great patio-style dining in the warmer months.
All in all, we were very pleased with our experience at Giordano's LV and will likely add this to our "Go-To Dining When We Don't Feel Like Figuring It Out" list.
