    This has been the best restaurant and most memorable in Samoa for me!! The food is incredible, very tasty, fresh, and presented really well. There are many tables for dining here but is it essential you book! This place fills up very quick and without booking it’s unlikely you’ll find a seat. Service is excellent, and you get given this natural bug repellant too which is a really nice touch. They also offer takeout.

    First meal in Samoa and maybe the best meal I have had in Samoa. The staff was super chill and friendly. Restaurant decor was romantic. Food was absolutely amazing. Got the coconut pesto penne with chicken and a half half pizza with prawn and assorted seafood.

    The best pizzas on the island period. Awesome outdoor Italian setting and the service is just as great as the food. The pizzas are to die for and so is the other meals as well. Such as the pastas and steak. Overall the best pizza place🙌🏾

    BEST PIZZA IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC I first popped in to check out Giordano's almost 2 yrs ago. The pizza was amazing, however, since then I've visited over a dozen Countries and THIS is the best pizza! It's legit Italian style; they have over 20 flavors (or you can design your own). They also offer delicious pasta dishes, salads, wraps, and more.... ooohhh, and homemade desserts! Yum!! Start off with some mouthwatering garlic bread or olive tapinade. Don't worry about ordering too much, you can finish it off the next day for breakfast or lunch. The service is equally amazing. The staff is well trained, always courteous, friendly, and FAST. If you need anything, they're right there, attentive and responsive. If you're looking for ambiance, come to Giordano's. Just picture a garden patio, surrounded by lush greenery, soft music, good friends and fantastic food. Yup, you're there. Come... Enjoy!

    We made a booking and arrived there on time but some delay in getting the last eaters out (haha). The team were good though and they seated us temporarily at another table whilst they shooed them out and cleared it for us. Once seated, they took our orders and the drinks came out pretty quickly. The food however took time but we were ok because it was busy. Needless to say, it was well worth the wait. Everything was good, from Pizza to Pasta to Salads. My favorite for the night was the Palusami Pizza. That is two great things combined into one. So why wouldn't it be great. Mālõ lava Team Giordano. Outstanding as always. See you again. Hopefully soon.

    Amazing food, amazing ambience… we have seen this place grow from strength to strength over the years, Alex never disappoints. The pasta we had tonight 11 Aug 22 surpasses Lygon street eateries! Well done, we would gladly pick 6 stars if we were able. Staff were genuine, kind, assuring and confident… keep up the amazing work guys! Max & Tracey

    Fantastic food and service, we got a takeaway pizza just in case we couldn’t find anything over the long weekend. Got the olive tapenade, Mediterranean lamb pizza, Thai prawn pizza and pistachio log for dessert. All very good, the lamb pizza was very tasty and the Thai prawn pizza flavours though faint were good. Would go back in a heartbeat to try more. Taula beer is a pretty good lager and I’ve had much worse beer in Wellington New Zealand.

    The 4 day wait for this restaurant to open after the Easter break was worth it. Excellent service, tranquil ambience and great food. A real culinary oasis in Apia.

    Absolutely superb pizza, so delicious! We had 1/2 Thai Prawn, 1/2 Meat Lovers, large size between 4 adults. Best pizza ever! Great restaurant, great decor, great staff. They even gave us a bottle of citronella oil to repel the hungry mosquitoes, very thoughtful. We highly recommend Giodarno's Pizzeria in Samoa.

    This is some kind of delicious pizza!! 🍕 Who knew you could find amazingly good pizza, a place that made you feel like you were (somewhat 😂) in Italy with their decor and music, and somewhere were that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Perfect place to go in Samoa if you are craving pizza

    The food was fine, but we had to wait more than 45 minutes for a pizza and a salad. The space and atmosphere are the best of part the experience.

  • 4/5 Ruby C. 5 years ago on Google
    The food was not bad and the environment is nice. The staff is very welcoming. However, the first time we ordered takeaway on the phone, after 30 mins we went to pick up but the lady gave our food to another customer by mistake, so we had to wait for another 15 mins for them to remake that item, which made the pizza cold and it was a little bit disappointing. Few days after we went there the second time, dine in and they were fast in preparing our food and the taste was fine (missing salt a little on my Carbonara but otherwise tasted good). Overall a restaurant we will visit again for sure! *takeaway price is cheaper than the dine in menu.

    Lovely atmosphere. Staff was on point and the food was delicious. I thought the prices were reasonable compared to the bigger “restaurants” around town. The smell of that fresh bread in the whole restaurant was delightful. The Chilli esi salad with its own blend was very good.

  • 5/5 Benson L. O. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing Italian food, have eaten there twice in the span of 1 week. Pasta cooked perfectly - will definitely recommend for dinner!

  • 5/5 Greg M. 6 months ago on Google
    During our recent week long visit to Apia, we visited Giordano's twice: once to dine in and once to buy takeaway. Both times the pasta and pizza our group ordered was absolutely perfect! When we dined in the atmosphere was wonderful with friendly attentive staff and the owner went out of his way to ensure we had a memorable night. Reasonably priced as well with large portions. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 James T. 4 months ago on Google
    Great experience and service was happy to accommodate our family of 25 with late notice. Food was great from the pizza's to the pasta's and served out hot. Highly recommend and Thankyou

  • 2/5 Corey B. 4 months ago on Google
    I ordered a pizza to go , after a long day of work , and the person who I believe is the owner was borderline argumentative when I requested extra cheese on my pizza . He told me that this would mess up his oven , and I told him that I understood and I proceeded to order another pizza instead . I guess he was still upset with the fact of me requesting extra cheese and yet his demeanor remained the same . ( Argumentative, aggressive, impolite ) I was in complete shock that this was happening .The pizza’s are overcooked in my opinion . The decor is beautiful. The wait staff is friendly . I’ve only been here 3 times , but after this last encounter it will be my last . After Covid , recession , slow sells etc. I would think a business would be appreciative of any , and all of the customers / clients that they receive . I hate to say it , but this guy was way over the top, extreme and crossed the line . I will definitely never come back .

    Had a great dinner out with the family. The food was good & the atmostphere was vibing. Make sure to book well ahead of time (& especially if in a large group). Thanks Giordano's staff

  • 4/5 Heather M. 11 months ago on Google
    Great little spot - we got seated straight away without a booking. We really enjoyed the olive tapenade pizza bread to start, the carbonara was delicious and two of us has large pizzas which were great too. The restaurant had a great vibe and overall was a nice place to have dinner. The only thing we would say was the calamari was quite over cooked and the lemon tart for pudding was more base than lemon… but on the whole, great!

  • 5/5 Birte S. 8 months ago on Google
    Been here 3 times in 7 days! Really good tasty pizza. Can’t forget the polite and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 leslie r. 11 months ago on Google
    If you are more of Italian food, this is the place to go. The food here is delicious. I must say, the best thing about this place are the people especially the young lady brown skin Samoan girl who usually serve me whenever I visit for a good meal at Giordanos. Pls tip her, she's such a sweetheart. 5 star for Giordanos, they never disappoint me

  • 5/5 Victor P. 8 months ago on Google
    We enjoyed the pasta and the pizza. The food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and very attentive, and very efficient.

  • 4/5 Sulu S. 11 months ago on Google
    Pizzas were on-point. Desserts can use a bit of work though. Chocolate tart was difficult to cut into. Truffle balls lacked the taste of truffle. Lemon tart was delicious, if you like a strong lemon taste. Overall a great dinning atmosphere. Would definitely come back for pizza!

  • 5/5 cova r. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pizza! Great atmosphere! Loved our dining experience here. We even indulged ourselves with a take away pizza on another occasion. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Madalene V. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely pizza place - love girl took our order and precise with the waiting time for our order. Pizzas from here have become a fav for my kids. The only thing that was a downfall would be the parking. But other than that, no complaints👍❤️

  • 5/5 Julien G. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome pizzas ! Same price as Nz pizzas (44 talas for a medium = 25$nz) but worth it. The staff is very kind and helpful and the food delicious !

  • 4/5 Jarda B. 4 years ago on Google
    Cosy place with Italian romantic atmosphere. We really liked our pizzas. But staff were really slow and we waited almost hour for our food. When we asked for a bill we waited also like ten minutes just for a bill. They have really good food!

  • 5/5 Graeme E. 4 years ago on Google
    So good had to come back several nights in a row. Seriously good pizza and service. Looked after my caeliac (gluten-free) daughter with some of the best pizzas I have had. Would highly recommend as one of the places that must be visited while in Samoa.

  • 5/5 Aleja J. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best pizza that I ever had, the staff was really friendly! I will highly recommend this place! Thank you.

  • 4/5 Stephen H. 4 years ago on Google
    This family restaurant offers woodfire-baked pizza and pasta of a high standard, in an open, plain and convivial setting. Generous servings and very reasonable prices are conducive to group or multi-age dining. It's not one for the anniversary dinner! Only the fairly limited menu golds this back from 5 stars, but what Giordano's does it does well.

    I ordered online due to the SOE, for friends in Samoa, and the online service was helpful and courteous. They gave me options for payment and the easiest way to pay. Would definitely utilize their services again and wish I could atleast taste the food.

👍 The customer service from waiters and waitresses were very welcoming. I loved the outside deck which was nice and clean, with fresh smelling mint planted on the partition wall. I ordered a NZ T-Bone Steak and Lobster which was $104 tala. As the waiter explained, this dish was just the steak and lobs...

🫤 Pretty mid, a lot of the menu options were missing including all cocktails and all the fish. Nice spot though, just don't come here for the food or drinks. Prices were pretty high all around.
