At Giardino, we’re making February unforgettable with fresh flavors, seasonal specials, and a little something for every kind of dinner date. Whether you’re celebrating love, friendship, or just good food, our new menu additions are here for a limited time.

We’re excited to share that Giardino Trattoria & Pizzeria was recently featured on ABC7 Chicago as one of the highlighted restaurants participating in Aurora Restaurant Week 2026.

Giardino’s Chef Martin Balderas is making headlines. Recently featured in a national article on Chowhound, he was quoted alongside chefs from across the country in a piece that highlights culinary voices shaping the way we think about food.

Beginning Tuesday, September 16, Giardino is rolling out Happy Hour, served every Tuesday through Friday from 3 to 5 PM. It is the perfect way to ease into the evening with friends, coworkers, or family.

As the season shifts, Giardino is bringing fresh flavors to the table with a new featured entrée and cocktail.

Aurora officials gathered recently to get their first look at a new restaurant in downtown Aurora. They held a ribbon-cutting for Giardino Trattoria and Pizzeria, a new Italian restaurant at 12 N. River St. in the historic Hobbs Building.
