Sammy J. Peppers
The first GIORGIO restaurant opened on Ste-Catherine Street in Montreal 
in December 1977. Between November 1979 and June 1984, the evolution of 
the concept continued and GIORGIO acquired a solid reputation in a short
 time. Over the past five years, GIORGIO has maintained a growth rate of
 one branch per year in the regions of Montréal, Laval and the South 
Shore. The chain now has 6 branches. With 40 years of experience, Giorgio Ristorante is a true institution of Italian catering. And that's not all, you can Bring Your own Wine!
