No, but I've heard good things too. Have been to Fascino's and Table 8 and liked them both a lot. The date/bacon/bleu cheese appetizer at table 8 was to die for. if you go to giottos please report back..... bon appetit |

We went to Osteria Giotto and loved it. Just spoke with some neighbors in Maplewood.. they, too, have been and love it. It's a byo which I always like .. I look forward to going back. |

Thanks, we may try it for my wife's birthday. What about prices? How does it compare with some of the restaurants in Maplewood that we all know and love? |

Awesome retaurant. It's our "new" favorite since we discovered it about 8 months ago. It was so good that after we paid our bill for our 1st dinner, we booked reservations for another night before we even left! My husband and I have been about 6 times. We love the place. Food is inredibly fresh; good portions and good prices (along the lines of Cafe Arugula in terms of pricing- entrees run $11-$24); BYO. We've brought friends from both DC and Manhattan who loved it as well. Run by a husband and wife who really know what they're doing. My only gripe is that you need to call 6 weeks in advance to get Fri or Sat night reservations at a decent hour! |
