Giaola Italian Kitchen - Carlsbad

I asked the waiter for Mixed seafood pasta and he said there were no clams or oysters available so I ordered Spaghetti Carbonara instead. The spaghetti was sticky and had no flavor. My husband and I just returned from a 2 week vacation in Rome and Florence Italy and their Spaghetti Carbonara was excellent. The ingredients in Italy is high quality compared to Giaola. Also for an “Authentic Italian restaurant” as Giaola claims to be the waiter didn’t even bring to the table olive oil and bread as in all the restaurants in Italy. Overall, low quality with high price. Never again will we come back!

Open air, enjoyed sitting at the bar. Spritz cocktails were refreshing

We usually come here for the music, the artist didn't show this time, but the food and drinks were delicious as always!

First time there very impressed! The food was creative as well as delicious! Very courteous manager and server!

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! The garlic bread with 3 cheeses was fantastic and went perfectly with our wine. Excellent service and we will definitely go back. It is a little hard to find unless you know the area.
