    Had a fabulous pisco sour to start with; ordered the grilled asparagus with burrata and prosciutto was delicious; must get the rice croquettes! as a main course we ordered penne with broccoli, flavor was delicious but the pasta was warm almost cold

    Gracious, welcoming and delicious. Quietly requested a quieter spot and they moved us to a back location where we could visit with ease. Varied menu with generous servings- will return with pleasure.

    This was my first time at Garibaldi’s but it certainly won’t be my last. The food was delicious! My papas were a little overcooked but I didn’t complain. The short rib absolutely amazing- so tender and flavorful! My best friend enjoyed the Carbonara which was creamy and had a great hit of fresh black pepper. Service was prompt and friendly. Everyone seemed to love my multicolor fur jacket. I’ll be sure to wear it when I come back! Lol

    The hostess welcomed us warmly and wished us Happy Anniversary. We were given two complimentary glasses of champagne. One foopah was the waitress gave us two glasses of wine when we ordered a bottle…Beyond that she was very cordial. The Broccoli Pasta was excellent!

    We tried the restaurant being from out of town looking for something different. The place was fairly busy and there was only one waiter and it is hard to rate him. We were not impressed with the food I thought it didn’t have much flavor and the short ribs looked and tasted like they came out of a crock pot.

    Very consistent, very good. Also love that the hosts pay attention to requests in the notes on Open Table and are happy to accommodate bar seating via reservation when possible, and they actually confirm by phone - wonderful service! Another great meal, enjoyed Carlos' service and great atmosphere for a quieter date night.

    We started with the risotto croquettes which are a delicious starter. I love the chicken Milanese as it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The lemon sauce with capers is great companion to the chicken. The service was good and meal was well paced, we did not feel rushed and enjoyed cocktails to start. Definitely a great place for a night out with friends or date

    Tina's stewardship of Garibaldi's is superb and she always provides a warm greeting. My solo dinner at the bar was choreographed by Eric who mixes martinis, Manhattans and Old Fashioneds to perfection. BTW I love the meatball appetizer. Good job, everyone! Onward.

    The food was delicious-the dessert could be better. While our server was super busy-she tried her best but was overwhelmed with her amount of tables. She walked past us several times and never asked if we needed anything-finally had to flag her down to pay the check. Next time-we will sit at the bar!

    We have been to this restaurant 4 or 5 times over the past year. The food has always been very good, and the service so-so at best. The woman who works as front of house works very hard, and saves the waiters due to the fact that they always seem understaffed. Our dinner on Saturday was ruined by poor service. Our male waiter was disinterested and gave us minimal service. He did not take our drink order (the hostess did that), he told us that starters on the menu were "specials", a requested glass of wine with dinner never arrived, and he never checked in with us once the food was served (by others) - he did not ask if the food was OK or if we wanted another drink. He then brought the check without asking if we wanted to see a desert menu. Last - the bench seat that the wives sat on had a large tear on it and it was very uncomfortable for them. Too bad - we really want to like Garibaldis. It has a great neighborhood feel, but we cannot tolerate this service for another meal.

    Chef needs to be present in the kitchen. Steak was over salted. Along with the spinach. Very small portion for main dish as well. Front of the house staff doesn't speak English very well. However the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere.
