Mark Morais, 3rd generation owner of Giusti’s Place. Erle Stanley Gardner CLICK here for more information about Erle Stanley Gardner and his longtime friendship with the Delta and with Giusti’s. Welcome To Giusti’s Place Whether you are an old friend or first time visitor, we take great pride in welcoming you to our web site, which is designed to reflect who we are and what you’ll find when you visit us by car or boat. Giusti’s, for four generations has served family style lunches and dinners in the California Delta’s oldest bar and restaurant. Our simple formula for success has never changed - serving reasonably priced food and drink in an atmosphere of fun and camaraderie. The noted author, the late Erle Stanley Gardner, creator of Perry Mason and author of three Delta books, described that formula well when he wrote in 1965: “It is impossible to adequately describe the warmth of the place, the impression of hospitality, the cool crispness of the salads or the flavor of the food (his favorite meal was sourdough French bread and red wine). Many commercial resorts extend service on a basis of “Hello, sucker! Come on in and be fleeced.” But up at Giusti’s, there is a warm friendliness, a genuine desire to accommodate. That atmosphere emanates from people who are happy with their lot in life and want you to be happy too.” Mr. Gardner passed away in 1970. Shortly after his death, Sacramento Union Columnist Tom Hornton wrote a column about “Uncle Erle” and the special friendship he had with the Delta and Giusti’s. We have included Tom Hornton’s column on our web site because it captures a special part of the history, tradition and legacy that makes Giusti’s what it is today. Have fun visiting our web site, and make sure that you check out our first ever newsletter - Giusti’s Platter of Fresh Chatter.  All of us at Giust’s look forward to seeing you. Ciao! Mark BACK TO TOP
