"One of the nicest cuts of meat in the South: a porterhouse at Giardina's. Optional side dishes include potatoes, pasta, and a not-to-be-missed item called Camille's Bread, a rugged length of loaf with a vivid Italian accent."
Michael Stern
"Like Greenwood's other top-notch eccentric eatery, Lusco's, Giardina's features broiled whole pompano on its menu. If you like fresh fish, it's deliriously good."
Michael Stern
"Giardina's offers several different oyster options including a fine Oysters Bienville."
Cliff Strutz
"Throughout the Mississippi Delta, at restaurants high and low, hot tamales are a preferred way to start any meal."
Michael Stern
"In Mississippi's less politically correct days, the item sold as Giardina's salad would have been listed on the menu as wop salad for its Italian flavors."
Michael Stern
"Iceberg lettuce is the only leaf that would stay crisp and crunchy under this heavy mantle of blue cheese dressing."
Michael Stern
"Dining at Giardina's is in curtained booths -- a holdover from the days patrons needed privacy to drink bootleg hooch."
