Welcome to Giardini!

Come see where the Farm meets Table. In Italian, “i giardini” means the gardens. And so our name reflects our focus on our own fresh ingredients as the basis of our food. We start with produce and herbs from our own organic gardens, and then source everything else from carefully selected regional, all natural and organic sources. Our Italian ancestors have taught us to always celebrate the freshest ingredients, simple, delicious meals, and the love of sharing it all with family and friends. Tutti mangiamo bene!


Take a Walk through the Gardens

Not only do our gardens supply the restaurant and our CSA with fresh, delicious produce, but taking a walk through them can be a peaceful, zen experience at the beginning or end of your meal. Take time to watch the buds that are turning to fruits, listen to the quiet, gentle buzz of garden life, and smell the earth as she caresses and nurtures every living thing. It’ll allow you to see life through a different lens if only for those few moments.

Dining in the Trattoria

On the outside it looks like a little, yellow farmhouse. But step inside and you are suddenly in a trattoria in Tuscany! Whether you cozy up by the fireplace, or enjoy the views of the organic gardens on the covered deck, you’ll be intoxicated by the smells and flavors of our Italian cuisine. Our fresh pastas are hand cut, our pizzas and meats are roasted in a woodfired oven, and our menus change with the seasons. Join in the laughter and conversation that is constantly accompanying the delicious meals. Don’t forget to brown bag your own vino because this little gem resides in a dry county.


Catered Events at Our Place or at Yours

You can enjoy our delicious food in many different ways. Whether you take home large pans of homemade lasagna for a family gathering, have us cater an entire party or wedding in your backyard or at a local winery, or hold your event in our own beautiful open air pavilion, you can enjoy the same delicious food and flavors no matter where you many be gathering.

Enjoy Doing Something New!

Enroll in one of our Gardening or Italian Cooking workshops, and you’ll learn a whole new way of looking at the food you eat. Whether you want to just enjoy an introduction to delicious, healthy food, or delve deeply into a process, our educational workshops are full of fun and delicious food from start to finish. Or you can simply find yourself at one of our special events like Sunday Suppers at Nona’s, dancing in the moonlight after a Farm-to-Table dinner in the garden pavilion, or enjoying a rousing game of bocci.
