SSDOMG Members, let's deck the halls as we enjoy a meal at a restaurant all decked out for the holidays in Abington - Giardino's!

Experience the harmony of flavors and the elegance of Italian cuisine in an atmosphere that feels like home, where every meal is a celebration of life and love. We are a scratch kitchen, serving you fresh ingredients, and giving a true home cooked meal. Everything from our pasta to our bread is made in house daily.

There is something for everyone as the menu offers Appetizers, Steaks & Seafood, Sandwiches, Paninis, Pasta, Parmigiana, Risotto, Salads, and Desserts.

Reservations are required. I can adjust up/down up to 72 hours prior. The final count needs to be called in 2.5-3 hours prior. Please be mindful of our RSVP Deadline of 3 hours prior @ 3:30pm that day.

\*\*\*\*\*There is a $10 charge per No-Show from the Restaurant. Please update your RSVP even if after the Deadline, however, prior to the Deadline is pref'd as any changes after the Deadline may result in a No-Show charge. If I am charged due to your No-Show, you will need to pay me back that $10 within 30 days. We will communicate that privately via Meetup messaging.\*\*\*\*\*\*

*Directions Overview*: Located on Route 18 NB at the intersection with Abington HS and a landscaping company, about 1/2 mile north of Lowe's and a stone's throw from Timer Lanes (about 500 feet away on the SB side).

*Parking*: Free and ample parking on-site. Since they may be busier than usual, there may be an overflow lot somewhere and I will note that here if that is the case.

\~\~\~*Please bring Cash Only!!!* (The only exception is if it's clearly stated in the Event Description that there will be separate checks as you can then pay with your credit/debit card.) If you choose to bring/buy/use a GC from/for this restaurant, please bring proof of funds and no more than $20 more than the cost of your portion of the bill. Please bring small bills ($1s or $5s please) to pay for the event fee. When in doubt, please make this easy and bring cash. We will check with our server/restaurant about separate checks in advance and then again upon arrival but make no promises or guarantees.\~\~\~
