I visited this restaurant for the first time with a client/friend for lunch yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by the charming interior of the place. Although it is hidden in a shopping center, parking can be a bit of a challenge due to the many businesses and restaurants in the area. However, it is worth waiting for a spot to open up. Our waitress, Cheryl, provided excellent service even though the restaurant was not very busy. I would expect the same level of service during busier times, as we dined for a later lunch after the crowd had left. I ordered the special: pan-seared sablefish with spicy collard greens, and it was delicious. If you prefer less spice, you can ask them to hold ba...

we have gone to giaola for over a year and the dinges don't seem the same since we started. the first time we thought we were going, he had one of the best steaks he had, I tasted and I loved it and I don't like steak! drinking were amazing! the second time, the next time a little less. decided to go to dinner for new years. no steak special and what they offer, I didn't see on a table. that is to be an Italian restaurant, the choices are very few and every dish that I make home. Although I must say, although we bring our own wein, I am impressed by their choice and their trips.
This is my 4th visit to this delightful neighborhood restaurant. I went to celebrate with a long time friend our Birthdays. The heat lately may me concerned with wanting to eat outdoors, but fortunately there was a soft breeze and it was absolutely comfortable to dine outside last night. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and this neighborhood restaurant has come to be a favorite. I highly recommend anyone looking for really good food, comfortable environment inside or out and want to support a local business this is your place to go.
I understand it was New Year's Eve, but we were seated at a table where the wind was so strong, the menus were blowing off the table; the music was too loud; and, the wait staff was spread way too thin. My wife's entrée was cold. Overall, very disappointing. We had dined at this restaurant many times, but this time will be our last. Book a table now
We recently had a wonderful dinner to celebrate our anniversary with friends who were also celebrating. The service was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for our celebration. We highly recommend this restaurant for a great dining experience in the neighborhood!
Food was very bad. Pasta over done. Taste like it was reheated. Roasted rooted vegetables taste like frozen vegetable heated up. Disappointing. Won’t recommend and won’t go back.
Andrew provided excellent service as our server and the food was amazing. The meatballs were some of the best we have ever tasted, and we are Italian!
The pork pot roast was one of the most amazing things I've had. It was on the Christmas menu but they should add it to the regular menu! Book a table now
