This was a Thursday evening dinner and the place was busy but not overcrowded. We were able to get a booth, away from noise . Our server was professional and prompt. My friend had Chicken Parmesan and I had Chicken Carbonara on Fettuccini.
Both were delicious and came with crisp house salads and dressings of choice. House and Greek dressings are both good choices.

Giotti’s is my go-to dinner place in Harrisburg. They have a plethora of choices- all homemade Italian sauce and pasta!!! You can pick the sauce and pasta you want with each dish as well (as everything is made from scratch). The chicken parmigiana with vodka sauce is my absolute favorite I get it almost everytime I go! The staff is very friendly with prompt service and always great attitudes! The entrees come with the most delicious bread and oil as well! I recommend Giotti’s to anyone!

Excellent meal. Everything is made to order, so you can "customize". Nice atmosphere, good service. Reasonable prices. BYOB. Our friends from out of town loved it and would go again.

We went shopping. Hungry. That's always a bit of a problem. After finishing our stops, we were trying to think of non-chain options, and although Giotti's is somewhere not along our normal route, I decided to take a detour and check it out. This late on a Sunday afternoon, the place was almost empty, so we had it all to ourselves. Our waiter was great, and when I asked him his recommendation, he gave us a couple of options. We tried both of them and no disappointments! It was hot, fresh, and filling! We took leftovers home and they were a great 2nd meal for the next day.

We had a party of 9, so we made a reservation. However the place was not crowded on a Saturday night. Food was average tasting and some were a little bland. Good service. We sample calamari at all restaurants we go to and this calamari although fried was drowned in marinara sauce. Wasn't chewy but we prefer a crispier calamari.

We know the quality and greatness of the food and service of this restaurant, but sadly after a second poor experience we feel the service is greatly suffering and sliding. First disappointing experience was two Saturdays ago. We walked into which was clearly a suffering staffing level or competency issues. After requesting a specific waitress upon arriving inside while being seated we were told the specifics of her employment status and ending by the young girl seating us, which we felt was highly inappropriate and unnecessary to disclose to customers. While seated and waiting for service we watched a very disheveled staff running around frantically, and several upset customers waiting for tables and food which brought us to great concern. After 25 minutes of waiting for service at our table we grabbed our wine we brought and left to another restaurant. Second time was this evening with very poor quality of service. It was absolutely not busy and no more than 8 people were eating in. In fact our waitress mentioned we were the first table in 30/45 minutes. We had to ask for wine glasses several times before finally getting up and getting them from another staff member. Our appetizer was dropped off and came out cold and had we been attended to appropriately and timely we could have resolved it vs having to eat a cold appetizer cause the waitress was nowhere to be found. We requested the 4 mini spice jars which were given to us empty. Bread was given to us completely burnt, which we couldn’t even understand the sensibility of our waitress to even consider delivering this to our table. Over all we are extremely upset and dissatisfied with the level of service and quality of our recent experiences. We understand the hardships of staffing but this was severe and warranted enough to review after two very poor experiences. We strongly urge and suggest your management to train and educate your newer staff appropriately and stress the importance of appropriate interactions and disclosures, and educate on the delivery of expectations on food quality, professionalism, and service standards, and the over all customer expectations when spending money at your restaurant.

I am a customer of Giottti's and order from them all the time. I love the food and their bread is superb..on many visits they forgot my bread. I call, and they graciously gave me the bread.. this time, they forgot my bread on my 2 entree salads, for which I gave a tip. I called and was rudely handled by a manager, who I didn'trecognize, But he said he had worked there before and is just getting back. Whomever was managing on March 9th, 2024, at around 4 PM he needs to be admonished. They have now lost a customer ..He did not give me my bread and insisted that entree salads do not come with bread. This is not the truth. Shame on you. He LITERALLY argued with me on the phone!! Sad that I won't be back, as the staff is generally VERY nice, especially Veronio, I will miss his kind service.

Flew in to Harrisburg, PA from South FL famished and tired. Asked Siri for the Best Italian Restaurant near me and voila, it brought me to Giotti’s. The ambience was very nice, not too busy for a Friday night. I sat alone and was greeted by a nice young lady, Alexa, my waitress. I didn’t know what to order as everything on the menu looked delicious. She asked me a few questions regarding my palette and I quickly said “Chicken” so she highly recommended the Chicken Carbanero. I ordered the entrée and waited patiently. A few moments later, rolls appeared with red pepper and olive oil, a Caesar Salad accompanied it as well. The anticipated dish came out and was piping hot and garnished lightly with parsley, slices of ham, bacon, and chicken. The “Rosa” sauce was perfect, not too watery or too thick. The chicken was soft and moist. Overall as an avid “Italian” lover, this dish quickly rose to the top of my list. I highly recommend this plate off the menu. You will not be disappointed.
I recently held my parents 50th Anniversary luncheon at Giotti’s. From the beginning, everyone at the restaurant was easy to work with, very flexible, and it was so reasonably priced. I would highly recommend holding your small event there or just supporting them when you are looking for a great place to eat!

The food was very good. My son and I both got wood fire baked pizzas that were done just right. The pizzas came out at a reasonable time considering 2 large parties that were being held there. This is a BYOB place and does not sell wine or beer. Before you go, call and make reservations, the place had no open tables for anyone that came in after us.
