Giardino's is such a wonderful experience. The food, the service, the ambiance - all so good! The food is plentiful, but, even though full, we always get dessert to go. Buy a round of beers for the kitchen - it's on the menu, an they deserve it!

Highly recommend this place. I live in east county and it's nice that I don't have to travel to little Italy for good Italian food. Born and raised in San Diego. Service is fantastic. Happy to have this place close by.

We enjoyed dinner here for our anniversary. We wanted to support our local restaurant and this was the perfect place. They have an excellent drink menu, so we ordered the blackberry basil and the pear vodka cocktails. For dinner we had the cheese wheel pasta with shrimp and the chicken marsala. Both were equally good. Overall a very dnjoyable meal.
