Reviews for Geraldi's: The Italian Eating Place in McMinnville, OR
I had read great reviews about the meatballs here and was looking forward to trying them. Went for dinner at 5:00pm on a... Saturday and was told they were completely out of meatballs. They said it would take an hour to make more. It makes no senseto be out of a popular dish on a Saturday night. No apologies were given, no other options were suggested by the staff. Theyseemed to care less about losing my business. So I went to Jimmy John's instead, they were grateful for my business and weren'tout of their menu items. Read more
This place is amazing! As someone who works in hospitality, I really appreciate the fun, familiar atmosphere. The food was... fresh, authentic Italian, with amazing tiramisu for dessert. My friend and I stopped there because our windshield wipers brokeand we wanted to get off the road and wait for the rain to stop. We were talking to Joe,( the owner and chef) and he offered towax our windshield so we would be safe on the road! He did a great job with that too! He is such a great guy, you can tell he ispassionate about his guests, employees and family (third generation family owned business). A great experience! Read more

This was our first time eating here and we will be back! The garlic bread was wonderful, the pizza was huge and so tasty, and... the hero sandwich was awesome! The staff couldn't have been more friendly & attentive... And all on a busy Saturday evening. Weare new to the area and trying different venues; Geraldi's will be seeing us again. Read more
I?m so happy that we decided to stop and have dinner before our long drive home. We had a meatball as an appetizer and we had to... order some to-go so our family could try it also! It?s funny, we were so hungry when we ordered our food! My daughter orderedchicken Alfredo and I ordered a pepperoni pizza, the large size so we could have leftovers. I took a picture of the pizza but Ishould?ve put something there to compare it to because it was gigantic! One slice and I was full. Plenty of leftovers! ???? I?mnot sure how it is with other families but if anyone goes to my parents house, it?s like my mom wants to scoop you up and takecare of you and it doesn?t matter if you?re hungry or not, she?s going to feed you. Everyone loves it. That?s totally what itfelt like at Geraldi?s! Everyone was kind and friendly and the food was amazing! Joe, it was great to meet you! We enjoyed yourhospitality, kindness and incredible food! Can?t wait to come back there again. Thank you ???? Read more
We had the most amazing experience as a family! The owner of this location is phenomenal! Being a former restaurant owner I... understand that you can get great food at a lot of spots. The big deciding factor in a restaurants rating is then left to theservice that you receive while their. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The reason being is they nailed it on bothsides. The Food was absolutely amazing (take a look at the images attached) as I gave the owner the choice of picking 2 of hisbest items for me! Ummmmm yeah sooooooo good. I walked in thinking this must be a typical pizza spot with a play on Italiancuisines! Was I mistaken big time! True authenticity slapped me in the face. Two of the best sandwiches that I?ve ever sat toenjoy! Spicy Geraldi was so fresh with a nice bite to it! That bread ???? was on another level with the perfect crunch andsoftness. I would call it a anytime sandwich! It?s filling but not something that will put you in a food coma! Now the CHICAGOBEEF ???? is sooooo good! I?m talking down home put you to sleep night night time sandwich. Extreme comfort food made with love!I could type all day! I will say the food is amazing and the Hospitality was even better! Much Love Joe & Geraldi family! Alsoadded some extra images from our experience Read more
We decided to try this place out on a whim after visiting the aviation and space museum. They were out of some meats for their... sandwiches so my husband couldn?t try the one he wanted but we both ended up loving the sandwiches that we got. Seriously, thebest! They were also out of sliced pizza but offered to make a pepperoni ?pizza? on their garlic bread for my son. That wasdelicious as well. We are looking forward to coming back and trying out different menu items the next time we're in town. Pricesare very reasonable as well! Read more
