Garbatella Italiano - Chula Vista (CA)

5 /5 Shirley Fargo: Celebrating a birthday, our group of three were impressed with the friendly service which was attentive but not overpowering. The wine steward/waiter was exceptionally knowledgeable about wine and even gave us a taste of a Caymus wine. I ordered the Cunundrum and it was outstanding. We ordered vegetarian pizza and lasagne with a shared Cesar salad and everyone was happy with their choices. We were never rushed and had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a delightful afternoon/evening and great Italian food.

5 /5 Christian Vazquez: RECOMMENDED!! Gabatella Italiano was an excellent dining experience! The short rib with mashed potatoes was absolutely delicious tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, ideal for enjoying a nice dinner. The waiter was very attentive and friendly, making the service stand out just as much as the food. A great spot for anyone who loves great flavors and great hospitality!

5 /5 Rodney Regala: We had a nice birthday celebration with a nice meal and excellent entertainment. Enjoyed our dishes and the live music.

5 /5 Connie Rodriguez: I recently dined at this Italian restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for both a casual dinner or a special night out. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The pizza was absolutely delicious — fresh ingredients and authentic flavors in every dish. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce tasted homemade. The appetizer was a great start. Overall, a fantastic experience — great food, excellent service, and cozy ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family!

4 /5 Melissa Villarreal: We recently celebrated my daughters birthday, and had a wonderful experience! From the taste of the food, the service and ambience, we had a great and pleasant experience! Everyone enjoyed their meals as well as their drinks. The only downside that I would have to point out, is that the plates are a bit on the pricier side. For the price, I would have expected maybe a small side salad or small soup. Other than that, we really enjoyed our time and the live music was a plus.
