Giorgio Ristorante

Giorgio Ristorante is a well-known Italian restaurant brand originally founded in Quebec, Canada, over 35 years ago. The brand became famous for its 'Bring Your Own Wine' (Apportez Votre Vin) concept, which helped establish it as a staple in the Quebec dining scene. Beyond its restaurant locations, the brand has expanded into the retail market, offering a variety of Italian food products including pasta sauces, pizzas, and prepared meals found in major Canadian grocery stores.

In May 2017, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when MTY Food Group Inc., one of Canada's largest restaurant franchisors, acquired the assets of Giorgio Ristorante through one of its subsidiaries. Today, the brand is part of the MTY portfolio, which manages dozens of different banners across North America. While the brand carries an Italian identity and culinary tradition, its operations and manufacturing for retail products are primarily based in Canada to serve the local market.
