21 Best Italian Restaurants in Carlsbad

“Excellent food and service.“

“Beatiful place I love it Great fooooood“

“Every once in a while you find a jewel. If you don’t love Italian cuisine then move along because after 25 years of dining around Carlsbad we have found a new place to call home. OMG all four of us had something different and we all agreed this is our new number one place to go. From the lasagna to the chicken parmesan with everything freshly made like you would not believe would swear that they’re growing it in the backyard of someone’s house. The drinks were master pieces and all I can say is we all had left overs because there was so much food.“

“Excellent costumer service from the hostesses to the bar , I like to recognize Bartender/Server Elias went above and beyond to make us feel welcome he was amazing. 5⭐️“

“I ate their Fish and Veggie Plate, it was the most flavorable Salmon I have ever had. It was cooked to perfection with plenty of savory juice left inside. The cubed potatoes and asperagus were seasoned just right. Highly recommend this place. It hit the spot. My final photo shows you just how much I enjoyed it.“

“Delicious spaghetti 🍝 great service“

“Gluten free crust was amazing ! We are not celiac but sensitive and best crust we have tried. Gelato was great and made in house as well.“

“Very good pizza and wings. Pizza came out pretty quickly. Sauce is not sweet, which is a good thing. Crust is airy and crunchy. Hot wings were also good. Good sauce. Right amount of vinegar and heat.“

“It suits any kind of gathering. The food was amazing. The Manhattan on the rocks-I love when they use the single large ice cube! There was nothing I didn’t like except as the place filled up we got a little warm but still enjoyed our full experience there.“

“First I want to mention our server, Savannah, was great even on her first night on the job. We ordered so much food along with refills on drinks and dips and Savannah provided wonderful service all around! Truthfully, I’ve never really had a bad experience at an Olive Garden and I’ve been going often enough since I’ve been alive. It’s a place that no matter where in the country I go, I love it for some reason even when other people don’t. I’ll never stop loving you, OG 💕🍝“

“I have eaten there many times. It's always good. I knew the Original Owners, years ago. It was great then and also now!!“

“They are now delivering!!!“

“pizza is delicious and wings are fantastic“

“Honestly, 3 stars for quality, but GO HERE ANYWAY. Why? Because the cost for an adult is $30, and you were going to pay that anyway if you go to another eating location in Legoland. I checked the chicken place in Knights land, and the cost of a chicken sandwich combo and drink was $26. Here, it's all you can eat and drink, AND it's air-conditioned. This is the way.“

“Great Carlsbad location. Something for everyone. Had their aoli artichoke and it was so yummy. Fast service great food.“

“Delicious food and fabulous desserts!!!!“

“All aspects of the dining experience continue to be excellent. Valet service was lacking on this visit. Standing in two empty spots, the valet told us the lot was full, and that we should find free curb parking in the neighborhood. That proved impossible, so we parked in the paid beach parking lot and luckily avoided any major heart or back issues on the uphill trek to the restaurant. In the past, valets have hustled and queued street parking until spots were available. Last night's valet seemed to be mostly focused on minimizing effort to accommodate customers. I may have had to find alternative parking in the past in my 20+ years in the area, but don't recall ever being dismissed quite so brusquely and unapologetically. Certainly not at Vigilucci's! But disabled beach parking is only $7 with no one to tip, so we did save a few dollars there.“

“Oh my goodness. I can't stop thinking about their chicken salad. Yes yes yes to the brown sugar walnuts and cranberry to the salad.
Great portion size for children and adults.
My family lives their take home boxes that say in crust we trust lol. Cute play on words“

“My wife and I had the gorgonzola beef filled ravioli with sliced filet. The sauce was really good, it wasn't super heavy and so tasty.
We also got a ricotta stuffed crust pizza that was basically like a margherita pizza except the crust was stuffed with ricotta. It was really good too.“

“The food is wonderful, plentiful and the service is excellent. The breadsticks and a side of marinara is a great start.“

“just had very good pepperoni pie and fried mozzarella. Definitely recommend in this area.“
