Garbatella Italiano

The food was great but the place was empty which was strange. The service was average but maybe the economy is having an impact. Also the menu was dated. Nothing new or exciting about was available compared to other restaurants at the same price point.

This restaurant looks like is going down, they used to have live music not anymore, before the pasta was great now shrimps are not cooked properly and costumer service was great now even when is not costumers around the servers are just somewhere besides with the costumers I will think twice before come back Attention with manager or owner (manager on duty was worry more to the beisbol game than the service)

A little pricey, otherwise a great place for live music. The food was excellent and if you're into wine - they have an extensive wine list.

Food and service was great. I went on Friday because I thought they had live music but they don't

The waiter in charge of our 9 person table completely forgot about us, never came back to ask if refills were needed, manager did not do anything about it, also my husband left his prescription glasses behind on the table, I was not able to recuperate them, even going in person to claim them, manager was suppose to look at cameras, he never called me back. It’s a shame that they have a very good place to enjoy Italian food , but the service is awful, NEVER GOING BACK TO SPEND MY MONEY THERE, FOR FUTURE CUSTOMERS I RECOMMEND NOT GOING THERE

Food is twice as much as an Olive Garden but not half as good. Chicken Parmigiana was the worst I’ve ever had .

Was nice experience but I came to the establishment for the squid ink pasta, the Spanish octopus and the wheel of cheese special which they didn't serve. Very disappointed.

Our server was nice and friendly but did not refill our drinks until we asked. There was another person on the floor, and I'm not sure if he was the manager or lead server, but he was not very friendly at all. He looked like he didn't want to be there. The food was excellent, however.

Oh wow! What to say about Garbetellos…. So my family and I are always willing to give any establishment a chance. I made reservations for 6pm on a Friday evening… We arrived, waited a few minutes to be seated… We decided on the Parmesan Truffle fries for our appetizer, they were decent but nothing to rave about. We ordered a spinach vinaigrette salad before our main course, again it was nothing to brag about and half way through, I found a hair. I mentioned the hair to the waitress and they brought out another salad, but by this time I was not feeling it and would have thought they would have just comped it. We then decided on our main course; two Atlantic Salmon dishes, for my daughter and I, with creamy risotto and charred broccolini… The salmon was very dry and overcooked, the risotto no where near creamy but rather tasted like watered down chicken broth and overcooked, no parmesan cheese creaminess and the broccolini was not charred. My husband ordered the braised short ribs, with red wine braise and pink mashed potatoes… The braised meat lacked any flavor, the pink mashed potatoes were watery and not creamy. We are big time foodies, we’ve lived in Italy and this food was no where near authentic Italian cuisine. The restaurant was cute and has potential but the chef needs more training and or needs to be replaced all together. The food was definitely not worth the cost even with a military discount. The best part was the average truffle fries and the wine. We will not be returning.😏
