Reviews for Giaola Italian Kitchen in Carlsbad, CA

Placed an order through uber eats. it was balanese with cheese. never order this. Least similar to Balanese. You will be... served overdried pasta with tasteless sauce and cheese on the whole plate so that it will be impossible to eat. $30 isdefinitely not worth it. It is not tasty and due to the amount of sour cheese it is impossible to eat. Too bad I didn't ordera good steak from another restaurant for the same money. Read more

The special of Grouper vegetables and couscous was outstanding. The lasagna is worth coming back for. The tiramisu is served... in a high ball style glass with an excess amount of cream, could pass. The espresso martini is good but a little light on allthe flavors. The service is wonderful very present atmosphere in the patio as dogs are welcome. Couple of tvs. The wineselection is outstanding. Worth the trip and will come again. Read more

Absolutely worth a post and review. Most exciting place with not only the perfect indoor outdoor atmosphere but actually crazy... amazing food fresh fresh fresh. Pasta is definitely handmade I can tell and I feel like I just flew into Italy but even betterthan that!!!!! I got the trio and my wife got Scarface with is fettuccine with mushrooms and chicken. My plate is pictured herewow wow wow. The lasagna is like pudding because it’s perfectly made. The service is amazing. My wife had the lavender drinkkind of too much lavender but we loved it also. Recommended highly was my drink pictured the Italian mule wow!!!!! Read more

The food was great. The service was great. I mentioned that the reservation had been set by a dating service and a gray haired... man, who I suspect was the manager, personally ensured that the evening was perfect. I couldn't be more happy with how the mealwent. I highly recommend Giaola Italian Kitchen. Read more

Disappointed. Pizza was tough, undercooked, and very salty. The Lasagna was not edible, like rubber. Garlic fries were stale and... soggy. Cheese ravioli had a lime flavor. The spaghetti and meatballs were okay in comparison to the rest of the food. Feels likeI just gave the restaurant a donation instead of paying for a meal. Read more

Atmosphere was nice and quiet. Service was good and timely. Food portions were very good for the entrees (half of our party took... leftovers home.) Taste was good, but nothing to be brag about. For the overall experience it would be worth a visit once but Idon’t know if I’d make this a regular place to eat. Read more

This was a very pleasant dining experience. The outdoor seating with a nice view and heaters create a comfortable ambiance. The... restaurant is dog friendly as we took our Maltese with us and they brought her a cup of water right away. There was a ladysinging with a soft karaoke background music that added to the ambiance. Good was great n tasty, service was friendly nprofessional, portions were good. We had some minestrone soup and garlic fries to start with and a couple of refreshing drinks.Then had the chicken picata and the scarface. To finish we had cannoli with cappuccinos. We will go back. You should give thisplace a try. Read more

We really enjoyed the lasagna, Hawaiian pizza, and wedge salad. The staff was great too. They have very nice indoor and outdoor... dining areas. There was pleasant live music as well. Kind of annoyed they stick you with a 4% surcharge. Overall, decent food,nice vibe, and great staff. Read more
