Serving Italian magic "squid-iculously" well, Garbatella never misses…read more From the perfectly crisp CALAMARI FRITTI to the delicate SQUASH BLOSSOM with ricotta and mild green chili pepper sauce, every bite feels like a little Roman holiday. I'm obsessed with their STRAWBERRY SPINACI salad and the classic CAPRICCIOSA pizza loaded with prosciutto cotto, mushrooms, artichokes, and black olives. If you love seafood, the LINGUINE A MARE is a whole ocean of flavor--Spanish shrimp, calamari, clams, mussels, white wine, garlic, lemon, and chili flakes. And don't even get me started on the soul-warming RISOTTO E OSSOBUCO... absolute perfection. Ended the night with their dreamy pistachio cake and the sweetest service from Val, who made the experience unforgettable.

Let's go from start to finish…read more Service: 0.1/5 Ambience: 3/5 Food: 3/5 (might as well go to Little Italy for the pricing and better service) To be clear, I did try reaching out via Instagram before writing this review and never heard back. I decided to take my parents out for their 38-year anniversary, and they chose to try the place I've been telling them about Garbatella. My birthday is also the day before their anniversary, so this dinner was meant to be special. We walked in at 5:15 PM after seeing on the website that Happy Hour was from 3:00-5:30 PM. Our reservation was at 5:45 PM, so we wanted to catch the end of HH. We stood there for almost five minutes without being greeted, which in any restaurant for a guest is a long time. When we were finally acknowledged, the server already seemed irritated by our existence. We told her we had a 5:45 PM reservation but wanted to enjoy Happy Hour and asked if we should order at the bar or if we could do it at the table. She completely ignored the question, sat us, and handed us regular menus. When I asked again, she said HH was already over. I mentioned the website says 5:30 PM--and at that point it was only 5:22 PM. She responded that it actually ends at 5:00 PM and that the website is outdated. She then seated us directly between the only two other tables in an otherwise empty restaurant, so there was no sense of space or privacy. Again, if it was a full house totally understand but it was practically vacant. Trying to laugh past it, we ordered drinks and bread. The bread came out before the drinks--which is a restaurant SIN. When I tried to order the Pappardelle Rione (a dish I've ordered here many times and is still listed online), she told me they no longer have it and again said the website is old. I asked if there was anything similar or if the kitchen could make something close, and she pointed me to roast beef with mashed potatoes... after I had clearly said I wanted pasta. She rushed through taking the rest of our order, and I already felt like an inconvenience. Mind you, there were only three tables in the entire restaurant. She could have tried to meet me in the middle on an item but acted as if she had no time to deal with my order or make any suggestions per my requests. Two minutes after ordering, I decided to switch to the bolognese with burrata--just to stick with pasta like I originally wanted. She told me they had already started my dish and that changing it would be an additional charge. At that point, with the inconsistencies in HH timing, outdated website menu, seating, and overall attitude, I just said to add it to the bill. Since we all know she wanted to rack it up at that point or to shut me up basically. I've worked in the industry for some time now and not ignorant to servers antics. Both of my entrees came out. The meatballs were likely microwaved, the burrata was missing, and the roast beef with mashed potatoes was nothing special. Couldn't be that fresh if it came out that quickly is all I'm saying. My Coke was empty by the time the food arrived, and she never once offered a refill. Eventually, my mom had to flag down another younger server to get drinks. When our original server finally came back, we ordered tiramisu. My refill came barely before dessert was dropped. She then completely disappeared to chat with another table. No acknowledgment of our celebration, no dessert gesture for my parents' anniversary -- NOTHING. I actually had to get up from the table to find her so I could pay. She seemed uncomfortable when she realized I was the one paying--and tipping. I typically tip 20-30%, but this was the first time I've ever left 10%. She didn't even provide me with a copy of the receipt after saying she would. I have never felt more brushed off by a server in my life. Didn't get her name. She was older, dark hair, heavy eyeliner, and cold unwelcoming demeanor. What happened to good customer service? Don't know if it was our race, my age (much younger), or if we just caught her on a bad day. Either way would not recommend due to the inconsistencies of the times, menus, and service. Based off of the other reviews it looks like they pick and choose who to give it to. Especially the demographics... VERY interesting and disheartening.

The wine list was also exciting as I recognized my favorite wineries on the wine list from my visits to Valle de Guadalupe. Our party of 7 celebrated my birthday. My husband and I shared the Roquefort salad. Delicious! I had the Tournedos Provençal. The steak was tender and delicious. My husband ordered the Frute de Mare with squid ink pasta. Highly recommend all of the dishes we ate. The restaurant becomes busy so make reservations. We wanted to dine privately in one of the rooms, especially in the Cava room. We were told we'd have a similar room but instead we were sat in the main dining room. Not a big deal. We still had a great time. The birthday wishes, song and dessert were a nice touch. We'd come back again. The menu had many good choices.

Una experiencia deliciosa e inolvidable en Vittorio's!…read more Si estás buscando auténtico sabor italiano con un servicio de primera en Tijuana, ¡Vittorio's es el lugar ideal! Desde que entramos, el ambiente fue cálido y acogedor. La decoración con retratos italianos, detalles tradicionales y la música italiana de fondo crearon el ambiente perfecto para disfrutar nuestra cena. Nuestro mesero, Ángel, nos dio un servicio excelente. Fue muy atento, siempre con una actitud positiva, nos trajo las bebidas rápidamente y nos consintió con un delicioso pan de ajo para empezar--¡riquísimo! Y la comida... ¡wow! Yo pedí una pizza de pepperoni con champiñones, y estaba deliciosa. La salsa tenía un sabor especiado perfecto, con bastante pepperoni y champiñones. La masa estaba en su punto--suave pero crujiente en cada mordida. También probamos los espaguetis con albóndigas--¡una delicia! La salsa muy sabrosa y las albóndigas enormes y perfectamente sazonadas. Muy reconfortante y exquisito. La pasta con pescado siciliano fue otro platillo que destacó, con la combinación perfecta de especias y salsa. Cada bocado lleno de sabor. Ya estoy planeando regresar para probar más platillos del menú. Definitivamente voy a recomendar Vittorio's a mis amigos y familiares. Un restaurante que es una joya--con excelente comida, un ambiente encantador y un servicio excepcional--¿qué más se puede pedir? Ahora en Ingles: A Delicious and Memorable Experience at Vittorio's! If you're looking for authentic Italian flavor with top-notch service in Tijuana, Vittorio's is the place to go! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The Italian décor--portraits, details, and classic Italian music playing softly in the background--set the perfect tone for our evening. Our server, Angel, provided outstanding customer service. He was incredibly attentive, always had a positive attitude, brought our drinks quickly, and even served us some delicious garlic bread to start--yum! As for the food--wow! I ordered the pepperoni and mushroom pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The zesty sauce had the perfect balance of flavor, and there was a generous amount of pepperoni and mushrooms. The crust was just right--soft with a crunchy bite that made every slice better than the last. We also tried the spaghetti and meatballs--what a treat! The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the meatballs were huge and perfectly seasoned. Truly comforting and delicious. The Sicilian fish pasta was another standout, with just the right blend of spices and sauce. Every bite was full of flavor. I can't wait to go back and try more items from the menu. I'm definitely recommending Vittorio's to all my friends and family. A gem of a restaurant with great food, wonderful ambiance, and exceptional service--what more can you ask for?
