Simply amazing. This place has it all. I'm in the neighborhood, so extra points.
If you want real, simple and fresh italian food (i.e. nonna) without the pretense of your typical TO trendy spots - then look no further. Pizza was on point with the best of 'em. Pasta dishes are made simple, yet flavourful. A real old world feeling here. Service was very warm and welcoming. I think this place gets a lot of regulars, because once you eat the food here you will be back (if you like classic italiano cusine). -

I order take out from here all the time. It's always warm and tastes like I would be if I were eating it in the restaurant. The gnocchi is fantastic.

I thought that the food here was really great. It's not exactly in the most picturesque area of Toronto, kind of between Leslieville and the Beaches (right across from the Beaches Cinema). The decor is also pretty dated.
The food is excellent though. I had veal parmesan and mussels to start and both were great. My dining mate had a salad and a pizza. I had a piece of the pizza and it was also really good.
Basically, you're not going to impress anyone by taking them here on a first date because it doesn't look all that fancy. However, if you are looking for a really good Italian meal you can't beat it.Listed in: The bEast End

5th time I've returned to this wonderful little jewel in our neighbourhood. Loved it so much that I had to write a review about it.
Sunday evening ... looking for alternative meals after a long day of driving ... stopped in at Casa di Giorgios. Ordered the pesto salmon, alfredo with chicken and bruschetta for take-out. My toddler loved it so much, she was covered in alfredo sauce and asking for more. Generous portions, fresh food, tasty, fragant and everything tastes like more!
Finally tried their pizza .. and am hooked. Worth every cent! -

Just ordered from here tonight. It was pretty good. I've definitely had better Italian food, but this place has been consistently decent. It is reasonably priced and the portions are quite generous. My wife and I will order 2 pastas and usually have enough left over for another meal. Tonight we had the lasagna and the gnocchi with Gorgonzola and mushrooms, and both were really good.
Recommendations:
Pizzas, lasagna, gnocchi, and veal parmigiana -

Let's be honest, the area isn't the most glamorous what with it being near a Coffee Time, an In-and-Out KFC, a Blockbuster Video and an erotic boutique aptly named Naughty By Night. But sandwiched in this would-be red light district is a little slice of Heaven called Casa di Giorgios.
They have a fine selection of gourmet pizzas to choose from though I opted to create my own: chicken breast with fresh tomatoes along with their cheese blend and pizza sauce which is nothing short of perfection. This was a welcomed answer to the "What should we eat tonight?" question.
Should you choose to eat in, their dining area is a romantic setting and the restaurant is complete with parking. The patio is open during the summer and tented and heated during the Fall. The staff is very pleasant and when you make as many visits as I have when I used to live in the area, they soon recognize you as family.
Though the pizza is a delight, the rest of the menu is nothing to sneeze at. Try any of their pasta and you swore you were on death's row as you may have just had your last meal ever.Listed in: If You Took Me To These…, Why I Miss Living Closer to…

Just had dinner at Casa Di Giorgios after all the reviews. I must say that I've had much better Italian in Toronto. We had the pizza and lasagna. The pizza tasted like Dr. Oketer from the grocery store and the lasagna also had a similar flavour to something store bought.

I haven't had a meal here yet that I didn't enjoy. I've tried many of there gourmet pizzas and the Manicotti was simply delicious. I also just noticed that a second location has opened up on the Danforth - although the website doesn't list two locations!
This is a great little restaurant, just west of the busy beach area! -

An absolutely exquisite restaurant. It's a place that you can have a 5 star meal and not dress to the nines or have to take out a loan.
I think when this place first opened it was a mafia front to launder money but realized they could make delish food and make money with that too.
Every meal I've had that tasted fresh and cooked to perfection.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
Especially for young broke couples. -

Tonight ordered in gnocchi (with tomato sauce), chicken wings (I wanted some sort of meat to complement my pasta) and tartufo. I must admit that I didn't have particularly high hopes for the gnocchi because I used to date an Italian guy whose nonna would make it for me fresh and homemade, and sadly had never been able to recapture that goodness in a restaurant meal...until tonight! Gnocchi was perfect texture and sauce tasted like it came from one of the homemade jars in the cold room of any self-respecting Italian household. It was outstanding, and am curious to try their other versions! Chicken wings were a bit dry, but seriously, what business did I have ordering chicken wings from an Italian restaurant? Tartufo was light and yummy, and perfectly completed the meal. The portion sizes were great and prices were reasonable. Would definitely recommend Casa di Giorgio based on food alone.

It was a dark and stormy night. Perfect for pizza delivery. I usually order from Mama's, but I'm trying to keep my business to small independents in the 'hood, so I decided to try Casa di Giorgio.
I ordered the salad with grilled veggies and a pizza.
First hurray - My order arrived well within the 45 minutes they told me it would take.
Second hurray - the salad was huge! A ton of really nicely grilled veggies on a bed of greens with some goat cheese. It was delicious. I love grilled eggplant, but its hard to grill it right. No problem here!
Third hurray - the pizza... great thin crust pizza. All my topping were kinda thin - carmelized onions, sun dried tomatoes, roasted peppers... so it was an entirely thin pizza. Next time I'll add more height. Regardless, it was yummy. Crust was buttery and chewy. Obviously use olive oil in the crust. Evenly cooked. Great balance of toppings.
Fourth hurray - I've got leftovers for tomorrow.
Fifth hurray - I've definitely found my new pizza ordering place. -

I'm a big fan of the pasta on the menu. The gorgonzola gnocchi is a regular favourite of mine. If you are in need of a reliable neighbourhood spot this is it.
