We are returning guests and love Giorgs. Unfortunately the Bistecca dish, the carrots were missing but the food was still amazing. The service was okay I think it was a newer server as I have not seen her before. She didn't check in after our meal was served to see how it was or if we needed anything else. The server returned long after the meal was done and asked about dessert but left all the dirty plates still on the table. The second rye and ginger that my partner ordered took about 10 minutes too which it wasn't that busy in the restaurant so I didn't expect the wait to be that long. Overall it was once again a delicious meal.

Always a treat to visit this hidden gem. Amazing food and fantastic service (there’s little things that make you excited to bring someone for the first time). It’s a restaurant where you stay a while (you’re not in and out in an hour and a half even), but that’s what it’s all about.

Giorg is a must in Thunder Bay. The food was incredible. The timing between the courses was the perfect amount so that you didn’t overdo it.. my gf and I shared everything and our server Trevor was amazing and made sure everything was perfect for her birthday! Real top notch place they have there. If you’re thinking of eating here. Do yourself a favour and do it. Cheers!

Went for a date and we were absolutely amazed by the service. We were greeted at the door and all the staff was so polite. We were brought to our table and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu items and any questions we had about them. The fresh pasta was phenomenal, as was the bread and vinaigrette. Very accommodating as well, made one of their cocktails without alcohol for me. Overall, we felt very well treated and taken care of, it was a lovely evening with absolutely delicious food and probably the best service i’ve seen, ever. Simple menu as well, which is refreshing from the usual big amount of choices.

My husband and I had a lovely evening at Giorg cucina e Barra. It was a cold and snowy outside but the restaurant was warm and inviting. As usual, the food was amazing from the tuscan soup, through the linguine and scallop entree to the lemon olive oil cake to finish. Service was superb - not too much and not too little.

As always,the friendly service was amazing. We were celebrating Valentines Day early this year and Giorg was a wonderful choice. My red pasta sauce could have used some herbs for flavor, it was very ordinary but my wife's fettuccine with a white wine cream sauce was fantastic as were the Ceasar salads,bread and dessert.
