World Food Tour: Georgio's on Pine (Italian)

Get ready for a classic Roman holiday in the heart of Center City! Our World Food Tour continues at Giorgio on Pine, a beloved rustic trattoria known for its authentic Italian soul and warm, boutique-style atmosphere. Whether you are a fan of traditional red sauce or looking for some of the best gluten-free pasta in the city, Giorgio Giuliani’s kitchen has something spectacular waiting for us.

Why Should You Join Us:
Giorgio on Pine is the epitome of a cozy Philly neighborhood gem. With its exposed brick walls and open kitchen, it offers an intimate setting that’s perfect for the "genuine friends" vibe of our group. Their menu is a tribute to fresh, locally sourced ingredients—from their famous 12-hour braised beef ragu to succulent veal and handmade gnocchi. It’s a place where the service is as warm as the bread, making it the perfect spot to connect and unwind with fellow professionals.

What's The Plan?
We’ll be gathering at Giorgio on Pine to enjoy their classic Roman-style cuisine. We'll start with some shared appetizers like their signature bruschetta or calamari, and then everyone can choose their favorite pasta or entree. You can browse their full menu (including their extensive gluten-free options!) here: https://www.giorgio-on-pine.com/menu

### The Deets:

• BYOB: This is a classic Philly BYOB! Feel free to bring your favorite Italian red, a crisp white, or your preferred craft beer to pair with your meal.
• Cost: We will plan to order some shared appetizers for the table, and then everyone can order their own entree. Please anticipate the total cost to be approximately $40–$50 per person (including tax and a 20% tip). To make bill-splitting easier, please bring cash.
• Allergies: Giorgio on Pine is exceptionally accommodating to dietary needs and even has a dedicated gluten-free menu. If you have any specific allergies, please let me know when you RSVP.
• Important: I will send a confirmation message a day or two before our visit to finalize the headcount. If your plans change, please update your RSVP to "Not Going" promptly so someone from the waitlist can join us.
• Parking: Giorgio on Pine is located at 1328 Pine Street. Street parking is available but can be tricky in Washington Square West. There are several parking garages nearby (like the Symphony House Garage on Broad St), but carpooling or ridesharing is always a great idea!
