We sat on the patio for dinner last night and loved our food. I had the lasagna and my husband had the chicken parmesan. We shared a wedge salad and bread. We both enjoyed or meals. The portions were very large.

We arrived via our reservation time, and we're seated right away. That was the last time we were approached by anyone. We saw 3 other tables get seated and helped. We never even received the complimentary bread and water. I had requested indoor dining, and we were seated on the patio, which was fine as there was a good musician playing guitar, and we would have loved to stay. We walked out after 35 minutes of no contact and watched others get helped in front of us. Maybe a short staffed night? We have been there a couple of times before,dined inside, and it was a good experience.

One of our favorite restaurants when visiting family in Carlsbad. Service and food are both wonderful. Save room for the Italian Fritter dessert - both options are a treat. Cinnamon Sugar with sweet cream is our favorite.

Giaola was cozy and the service was fantastic. Great food. Menu was not overwhelming. I appreciated the simplicity of it. Deserts were incredible. Would definitely go back again. My son and has girlfriend had gone many times and I'm glad I finally got to check it out.
