End of business day meal! Nice, relaxing place. Dimmed lights. Italian (northern) country decor. Outstanding service. The waitress was helpful in explaining the dishes and even brought extra dish (Risotto with mushrooms, and if I recall deer meat) free of charge for us to try. Appetizer included a large mix of Italian cold cuts and a variety of Italian and French cheeses! The Ossobuco, a friend ordered, he claims was outstanding, it looked very good, and plentiful! I had the gnocchi in a delicious sauce with meat! Topped the night with tiramisu!

If you are looking for an authentic regional eating experience look no further than Time Out. A little off the beaten path, this local is worth the journey. My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic antipasto, a mouth watering pasta dish and two exceptional main courses.

With over 500 âexcellentâ reviews and a smattering of âterribleâ my husband and I felt safe in choosing Locanda Garibaldi as a new dining location. Usually in these instances the few outlying bad reviews relate to very specific eventsâ¦a customer felt slighted, the kitchenâs timing was off, the chef perhaps had a rare bad night, etc. However, I really wish we had read through the bad reviews (in Italian) because many of them have common elements, which perfectly capture our night as well.Menu (or lack thereof)There is no menu, and the owner Giuseppe comes over, sits down at your table, and basically suggests what youâll have. (Note: My husband is Italian, and I speak Italian. I have no idea how this process would work with non-Italian speakers!) When asked for details about certain dishes, Giuseppeâs response (in a jovial way) was, âitâs delicious; donât you trust me?â I didnât feel in control at all over my dish selection; however, due to the positive reviews, I felt safe that Iâd probably like what arrived.Food quality/priceIn fact, the food is good, but definitely âcasalingaââ¦think more âGrandmaâs cookingâ rather than âcontemporary cuisine.â Thereâs absolutely nothing wrong with a good home-style dish, but I donât think it warrants the prices charged. In regard to pricing, that too seemed very informal. Without a menu, you canât be certain that your bill wasnât influenced (positively or negatively) by how well you clicked with the owner.Service(This is THE âmake or breakâ element.) As mentioned in other reviews, the owner Giuseppe makes a point to sit down and chat with his customers. And, in fact, after we had finished our meal, Giuseppe returned to our table, sat down and proceeded to talk for at least 20 minutes! By the time he was finished, it was getting late, and we decided to go. I felt what could have been a quiet evening with my husband turned into a table for three.I fully concede that many of the positive reviews are based on exactly the âfriendly and warmâ demeanor of the owners. So Iâd say if youâre the gregarious type who loves (extended) banter with your host, this may be your place. If, like us, you prefer friendly but reserved service and straightforward selection and pricing, I would not recommend Locanda Garibaldi. I wish Giuseppe well, and I appreciate his passion for his work, but this just wasn't our type of place.

We loved our delicious dinner here. Only criticism? Too much good food to eat! There were two amuse bouches before we even had our starter, so I was full by the time the meal came. However the meal was so good that I ate it all anyway. The staff were also really friendly and helpful. We asked about the delicious onion chutney served with the foie gras and the waiter brought us a small pot of it to take home. Very sweet! I would definitely return here!
