"Here’s the thing about Giorgio E. Baldi—the food at this iconic Italian restaurant in the Palisades is actually pretty good. This issue is that no one seems to be eating much of it. With a tiny, cramped dining room where space between tables is measured by the inch, a meal at Giorgio is truly a night swim with the sharks. But instead of great whites, it’s studio execs, raging publicists, and Dustin Hoffman pouring sambuca shots under the table. It’s a wild time from start to finish, and if you’re worried about drowning, you should probably stay on land." - Brant Cox
