Giorgio’s Italian Food and Pizzeria, the newest restaurant in Downtown Morgan Hill, will conduct it’s official Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Wednesday December 7 at 2 p.m. With its prime location in the heart of Downtown, this 5,000 Square Foot restaurant with a 3,000 Square Foot patio featuring custom wrought iron floral fencing and a flair of Italy will satisfy the community’s desire for outdoor dining while strengthening Morgan Hill as a dining destination.
The restaurant’s location at 17390 Monterey Rd was previously owned by the former Redevelopment Agency and sold in 2017 as part of the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency’s assets. The site was purchased and renovated by Lone Star Development Owner, Steve Pace, with the intention of designing and building a high-quality artisan style facility, with the goal of attracting the finest long term restaurant occupant to Downtown Morgan Hill.
Established in 1959, Giorgio’s started with a family-owned and operated restaurant in Mountain View called Frankie, Johnnie, and Luigi! The first Giorgio’s location was opened in San Jose, followed by a second location in Milpitas in 1997. Morgan Hill marks the 4th location for the Giorgio’s brand. “We are excited and honored to continue the Giorgio’s legacy in Morgan Hill, a City with a tight-knit community, bustling downtown, and thriving food scene,” said Mike D’Ambrosio, part of the family ownership group. “Our Opening Day is here, so come and enjoy- Mangia!”
