We had an amazing dinner with friends on Friday night. Great drinks, food, and service!! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place with indoor and outdoor seating. We went in the evening and did not have a reservation but were seated inside promptly. It was a very busy evening, but our waiter Noor was exceptional. The food is delicious and it was our first time here. For appetizers we started with the mussels and focaccia bread. You will want to ask for more bread to dip into the mussels broth afterwards. We asked for the chopped salad, which was incredibly delicious and I'm not much of a salad person, but this one was really good. I loved the farro in it, and it gave it a different texture and consistency. For entrees we ordered the brodetto and the flounder alla picatta. Also, the lasagna. I love that the pasta is homemade and the ingredients are fresh. Flavor is delicious. For dessert we did the flourless chocolate cake and the sorbet ice cream. Yes, we had a feast! We wanted to try a few different plates and none disappointed. The price of the food is on the higher end but worth every penny. Definitely worth checking out. There were a lot of birthdays and celebrations on this evening. It is probably safe to make a reservation ahead of time, but worth checking out even if you don't have one.

Service started out a little iffy (we sat for 20+ mins), but our excellent server recovered quickly. I don't mention this to complain about the wait (they were coming off the dinner peak), but rather highlight the extremely customer-focused skills of the server. The food didn't disappoint. Best Italian I've had in the triangle. Especially loved the focaccia, braised pork ragu and pistachio gelato. Worth the wait.

I've been here a few times now and it is one of my favorite places to go with a group of people. The interior is so cute and the staff is so nice and always recommend amazing dishes! I recommend always getting whatever their special is; they update them often and they are always on another level. The chef is also very attentive. He has come out a few times to talk to the table and check on the how everything was when I've been there. He also talked about his tv experience on Chopped, which was interesting to hear about. My friends are always complimentary about their cocktails too. Definitely a great local business to host any celebratory occasions!

Charming Italian Restaurant on outskirts of Chapel Hill. Great spot if you're looking for a little adventure for authentic Italian dishes. Lots of creativity with the dishes and cocktails. Interior offers Italian coast pictures, all sorts of portraits helping you catch the Italian culture, lots of hanging plants, love the upside down tulips on the ceiling. Velvet chairs, assortment of table sizes for all parties to enjoy the experience. Osteria offers both lunch + dinner, and even offer wine tastings + wine dinners on occasions, check out their website for upcoming events. See pictures of food with the details.

Not that many good and comfortable lunch options, I would definitely put Osteria Georgi on that list. I had a business meeting so looking for something nice but where I could also have a healthy meal. Osteria Georgi fit both criteria. Service was very professional and restaurant was classy and quiet (possibly too quiet, worry about the viability of their offering lunch). I had the green salad and added chicken. The chicken was sautéed and surprisingly tasty. Seeds in the salad made it much more interesting than your typical green salad. Overall a great lunch option.

We like Osteria Georgi in Chapel Hill. Simply put, this is one of our favorite Italian restaurants in the Triangle, perhaps *the* favorite. We like it more than Cucciolo Osteria in Durham, but both are good. My wife has been here several times with her coworkers for dinner. The repeat visits should be telling enough. I visited with my wife for a Saturday dinner and we had a great experience. This is a perfect date spot, and it works well with groups too. The food, drink, and service were good to great. This place is popular. It was busy the night of our visit. Reservations are recommended.

Osteria Georgi opened on April 30, 2021. It's part of the successful Giorgios restaurant group. That group includes some of our favorite restaurants in Chapel Hill -- Bin 54 Steak & Cellar and Kipos Greek Taverna. Osteria Georgi is located in the apartment building next to Whole Foods. Free parking is available on the street, in the adjacent lots, and in the attached deck. This is a modern Italian restaurant. It's beautifully and stylishly decorated. High ceilings, lots of natural light, plants, and artwork, and chic (and comfortable) soft velvet chairs. They serve both lunch and dinner. At night, the tables are candle-lit. Nice ambiance. The restaurant is fairly spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. Outside, the patio wraps around with umbrella-covered tables. During our visit, the menus offered a good variety of food and Italian/Italian-inspired drinks. The wine list was deep. Below is a list of what we got, which will also give you an idea of what the prices were like. Cocktails * Spritz Lampone Vacanza ($14) - raspberry, myrtle berry, Chinato, aromatics, rose prosecco * Negroni Bianco ($16) - quinquina, Conniption Navy (gin), Contratto Bianco (vermouth), bitters, wine reduction Antipasti - Appetizer * Ostriche del Giorno (6 for $18) x2 - raw oysters on the half shell; local selection, daily mignonette Insalata - Salad * Burrata ($19) - seasonal caprese Primi - Pasta * Bucatini ($24) - modified from the original version; see my description below Special - Not on Menu * Pork Osso Bucco ($40) Dolce - Dessert * Chocolate Budino ($10) - caramel, candied walnuts, olive oil * Fruit Crostata ($10) - vanilla gelato, aged balsamic Dessert Cocktail * Latte Vivace ($13) - vodka, Cappelletti Aperitivo (Italian red bitter), coffee, cream In general, all of the food and drink were delicious. We didn't have a single bad item. My favorites were the Ostriche del Giorno, Bucatini, Pork Osso Bucco, and Fruit Crostata. They were all outstanding. My wife agrees with my picks except for the Fruit Crostata. She'd replace it with the Burrata. I thought the Burrata was excellent too. Really, you can't go wrong with anything here. There were a lot of changes to the menus we were given, so many that it might have been worth it to print new ones. I'm sure the servers had a lot of fun explaining all of the changes to every table. One example is the Bucatini we got. Bucatini all'Amatriciana was printed on the menu. However, our version had no tomato, Calabrian chile, or basil. Instead, it was like a hybrid of carbonara and cacio e pepe. It still had pancetta. I don't know what Georgi's original all'Amatriciana version tastes like, but this olive-oil alternative was fantastic. The Pork Osso Bucco was phenomenal. It was one of the best I've had. Most of the ossobucos I've eaten up to this point have been made with veal, not pork. This version was super tender and fall-off-the-bone. The portion size was filling and overall, the dish was quite succulent, from the pork and polenta to the tomatoes and wild mushrooms. Superb. The oysters (Ostriche del Giorno) were fresh with medium brine. We were told they would be brinier, but it was fine. The oysters came from Morehead City, NC. They were some of the best oysters I've had in Chapel Hill-Durham. My only gripe is that there were too many shell bits in the batch. I think it was a shucking issue. The Burrata was above average. Fresh, creamy, and satisfying. Along with that, I think what set Georgi's Burrata apart was the accompanying caprese made with a vodka sauce, grilled squash, and local cherry tomatoes with balsamic drizzled on top. Yum. The drinks and desserts were tasty. The Spritz Lampone Vacanza was very refreshing. The Negroni Bianco was nice and strong. They offered three kinds of negroni. The Chocolate Budino was rich and had an intense dark chocolate flavor. The Fruit Crostata was made with apple, not peach as we were told, but still tasted wonderful. It paired well with the gelato. Service was terrific. Our server Mo was thorough and we could tell he was experienced. Props to all of the other friendly and attentive staff as well. From my perspective, this appeared to be a well-run ship.

Osteria Georgi is a favorite among several of my groups of friends. We scheduled a date night and sat outside on a Saturday evening. The indoor area was bumping, but there was plenty of room outdoors for our party of 6. The table was not yet prepared for us (we had made reservations a week in advance), but no problem because the hostess fixed it up real quick. The appetizers were lovely, well-presented, tasty, and... well... expensive. Our server pushed the burrata (most expensive antipasto for $19, then pushed the prosciutto for another $9). They were a hit though, so no problem. We all ordered cocktails, which were about $15-16 each. They tasted great, but the large ice cube did a lot of the work with making them seem like a good purchase. Nobody ordered a second drink. The entrees, to me, was where things were above par but not spectacular for the price. The portion sizes were large, which helped, but the food itself wasn't outstanding. I ordered the pesce alla puttanesca ($36) that featured a healthy serving of two swordfish steaks, but I found that I could only eat one steak before I was just kind of done with it. I can't remember the last time I didn't finish my entree at a restaurant. The server brought out a dessert menu, but nobody ordered anything else. Our server was great, attentive but not overbearing. He was always quick to upsell, but it didn't come across pushy. Overall, I can see why OG has the reputation it does in Chapel Hill, although I feel like the prices were enough to keep me from returning anytime soon. I will say it felt cool to be where all the hip, older-skewing, old money Chapel Hillians were hanging out on a Saturday evening. And we all had a wonderful evening there, so maybe the prices were worth it?

Ok I didn't really know what to expect coming here for the first time. Georgio's restaurants are typically good but this was really fantastic. Came for lunch and was absolutely delighted. Firstly the interior is quite well done, love the lighting. It wasn't crowded so I don't know how it would hold up to noise level. The outside patio was also quite nice. The service was quick and our server was exceptionally nice. The food was really above my expectations. I got a salad with shrimp. Talk about perfectly cooked shrimp. Not tough, not under seasoned delightful delicate sauce. Perfection . I also got the polenta with the fish of the day. The polenta was soft and creamy. The tartness and acidity of the tomatoes paired perfectly with the rich polenta. The fish was cooked well, not dry. Will definitely return

We came in from out of town to visit a friend and they mentioned they had been wanting to try this restaurant and we definitely were not disappointed! The restaurant is a modest size with a pretty modern environment that was enjoyable. Right off the bat our server was friendly and quickly made sure to make sure we had all our questions answered. He was attentive and took great care of us! The wine list was plentiful and had a wide variety of options by the bottle or the glass. Additionally, they had a great list of cocktails that give an Italian twist on some classics. For appetizers we had the focaccia and the meatballs and both were fantastic. The meatball was moist and we'll seasoned and the focaccia had a wonderful whipped ricotta it was paired with. For dinner I had the lasagna and it was absolutely delicious. Well balanced amount of cheese and sauce and everything was flavorful. I would definitely go back!
