We thank our customers and friends for their continuing encouragement. We are very pleased to say that Georgio’s has been very well received over the years by food critics from across the country including the prestigious Zagat survey, which in 1998 named Georgio’s as “One of the Top Five Restaurants in Ohio”
“A Delight in Every Way—Food, Service, Ambiance”
–Zagat Survey
“The exterior of Georgio’s is unpretentious considering its status as a Toledo dining legend. The valet will park your car as you step into a posh setting filled with the sound of cheerful conversations and champagne glasses engaged in a celebratory clink. Your server will help you navigate through the specials as well as the many wines and unusual appetizers—escargot or grape leaves and haloumi cheese from Cyprus, for example—and will be glad to suggest wines to complement your entree. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a dish of herb-crusted salmon dripping in Cajun or dill sauce prepared by George Kamilaris, the chef and co-owner with his brother. Room left? Try the seven-layer chocolate mousse cake.”

“Choose from a long list of specials, depending on what Chef George Kamilaris has found attractive in the markets on an given day. As a rule, they’re mostly seafood, six or seven choices, fresh-water and salt alike, and all complemented with just the right sauces, never trite, never ordinary. No matter what you envision, it will be delightfully lifted a step or two above your fondest anticipation. Servings are generous, almost too much so for the plates on which they are served. The location, almost on the doorstep of the Valentine Theatre is surely convenient in a reviving downtown.”
–Toledo Blade
“Georgio’s surrounds you with tastes, making the most of its black and white motif and its interesting diversity. Georgio’s offers gourmet fare and reasonable prices, including a careful chosen wine list. Our entire party tipped its varous hats to Georgio’s sauce preparation for the entire evening. Like the decor, these sauces whispered quality and care. Baby Spring Lamb Chops, were far and away the best chops we have ever had, anywhere.”
