Editorial Review for La Famiglia Giorgio's – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Locals and tourists alike flock to this area favorite for impossibly immense portions of classic Italian fare like chicken parmigiana and veal marsala. Patrons can expect a noisy, jovial setting on most nights. No reservations are taken, so on busy nights the restaurant's main objective is to keep the line outside moving--with a straightforward menu and speedy service, expect your stay to be a short one.
The Food
If you're looking for atmosphere or overall quality, look elsewhere, but if you have a family or group of friends to feed, this is your place. Most appetizers and all entrees come in two sizes: small (large) and large (ridiculously large). A large order of cheese ravioli with meat sauce weighs in at over a pound and can easily feed three. Wise diners stick to familiar favorites like creamy fettuccine alfredo or gooey ricotta-stuffed eggplant.

La Famiglia's has been great with our group of 8th graders for over ten years now. They provide large family style dinners at a reasonable price. The kids love the food and can't get enough of it. It is the perfect place for a large group who wants a yummy meal with great servers and friendly owners. Our group is usually between 30 and 40 people and they accomodate us perfectly upstairs. We call ahead of time and set up our menu and date/time and we are good to go. They remember us coming back every year as well so the menu is all ready for me unless I want to change something. Their meatballs are to die for!!!!
Pros: Great 4 groups, large portions!

My fiance and I ate here yesterday afternoon and the portions were huge. We got the stuffed mushrooms as appetizers and they were very delicious. I got the vegetarian with ziti and he got the chicken/brocolli with ziti and the servings were HUGE that we ate 1/4 of it and took the rest home. Had some for dinner yesterday night, and some for breakfast this morning and still have leftovers to last me till tomorrow! the service was great, love the native boston-italian lady who was our waitress. just made everything more authentic
Pros: large portions
Cons: decor
