Awards & Recognition
Best of Philly Martini MenuPhiladelphia Magazine Best of Philly 2001, Martini Menu"Sip one of 32 variations on the classic at the long, cool bar at Giumarello's, the Italian Tratoria in Westmont, or take your drinks outdoors to the stone paved courtyard. Both singles and smug marrieds congregate here, particularly on Saturday evenings, to sip Sexual Healing cocktails - that's Grey Goose, Chambord and pineapple. Liquid tiramisu is for dessert - Giumarello's version is a concoction of Stoli Vanilla, Cappuccino Godiva, Nocello and Kahlua."

What they say about us...Reviews from Zagat.com"Excellent food. Worth the trip.""This is my favorite restaurant of all time!!!! The food is wonderful! I can't say enough about the entrees, and the garlic bread is to die for! I am also a huge fan of the cold crab cocktail. As for entrees, there is so much to choose from and you will never be disappointed! The service is incomparable! There is always someone there to take care of you and whatever you need. If you don't try Giumarello's, you are definitely missing out on something.""Delicious authentic Italian food. Great location--lively bar area for after dinner. We really enjoy going here with our friends and family!""Great place to go if you want both exellent food and service in a elegant atmosphere. The staff makes you feel at home as if you were a guest not a customer. The food selection is extensive and accomodating. From apps to desserts I give this 2 thumbs up. Keep up the good work!""Lovely place for a special occasion. Early bird dinners are excellent value.""“First-rate” Northern Italian fare is proffered by a “knowledgeable” staff that “makes you feel right at home” at this “elegant” Westmont spot, also distinguished for its “great bar scene” at “happy hour”; those who “wish” for “cheaper” eats can “check out” the “bargain-priced” early-bird (available Mondays–Fridays).""Never had a bad meal here yet! Nothing glamourous, just good quality food. A delicious filet, I prefer this restaurant to many stuffy steakhouses in philly.""Excellent!!! This restaurant is the "whole ball of wax" Excellent food, terrific ambience, and impeccable,gracious service!! Extensive menu and then there are the specials. I had a grilled Chilean Sea Bass to die for!! ( a special) I felt the cost was very reasonable for the quality of food and very healthy portions . Expect to pay around $25 on average an entree. I find this to be a bargain for such an upscale estabishment.""beautiful cocktail lounge and evening entertainment on saturday evenings; unbelieveable Italian food; high quality; best restaurant around the area.""My favorite place to dine without the kids. They have the best martini menu. The possibilities are endless. The servers are well versed in the specials (most impressive I must say) and the food just melts in your mouth. Have never had a less than wonderful experience here."Other Reviews"We recently returned from Las Vegas and we ate at several of the best steakhouses. They didn't come close to Giumarello's. On a scale of 1 to 10, Frankie rates Giumarello's Rib Eye Special a 500!"~ Ritamarie & Frank Olivieri (regular patrons since 1988)Owners, Pat's King of Steaks, Philadelphia"I've been traveling around the world my whole life. For my job at ESPN, I go all over the United States. In my opinion, Giumarello's is the best restaurant in America. When I am in Philadelphia the only place I dine besides Giumarello's is my own kitchen."~Sal Paolantonio, ESPN"Awesome drinks, great staff. Just a great place. To die for Food."~ Nicole Wood, Playboy's Miss April 1993"We have dined at five star restaurants from coast to coast and they do not top the service, quality of food, ambience, and the wonderful experience of dining at Giumarello's"~ Ray & Kay Brosel (regular patrons since 1990)
