We went here for a birthday dinner with a reservation. The service was incredibly slow. Our dinner reservation was for 7:30. Our dinner did not arrive until 9. The waitress, while attentive when at the table, did not check on our table throughout the night, and she took an incredibly long time to take our orders. Moreover, the kitchen was out of nearly 2/3 of the specials the waitress originally told us were available, including the wine. The food was decent but overpriced. read more

Service was not that great, food was ok, poor selection and the atmosphere was also ok. the worse part was there was no soap or paper towels in the rest room and only a moment before a person from the kitchen had walked out of there which leads me to believe he had not washed his hands. It took almost 20 min for the waitress to take my check and almost as long to get it back. This was my first time back in a year or so and unfortunately it will be my last. read more

I haven't eaten here in a year, but it was bad enough to tell everyone about it and warn them away. I grew up on the East Coast (NJ and DE) and I know what good Italian food is. This isn't it. I ordered the bruchschetta and the veal saltimbocca to go. Carson City isn't that big, so driving home couldn't have done that much harm to the food. The toasting on the bruschetta bread was overdone and rock hard. On top of that, I think the cook decided to use the gallon of balsamic vinegar he had left for the day on the order (there was a pool of it in the styrofoam container.) The flavor of the onions and tomatoes couldn't come through. The veal saltimbocca was even worse - the veal was overdone and chewy, and the prosciutto tasted off like it had been left out for a day or two. If I had a dog, I would not have given the dog my leftovers. This was one of the worst "Italian" meals I've had in my life. I've been afraid to try the other "good" Italian places in Carson City since then. read more

Outstanding food, service, and ambiance. Had dinner with my husband and parents, and was pleasantly surprised by the menu. Great variety of dishes, and decent wine selection, though a little pricey, and the dessert was made right there. We ate the Eggplant Parmagiana, the Mariana, and the Shrimp Pesto. All very good dishes. The Cheese Cake and Tiramisu were outstanding, and the decaf coffee was one of the best I ever tasted. Sean was our waiter, and he was very attentive. We will definitely go back to eat there, though we will bring our own wine and pay the $15.00 corking fee. read more

At first I was hesitant to try an Italian resturaunt since I'm so picky but I was pleasantly suprised. The food was very tasty and well prepared. The service and ambiance was also nice. I have a new favorite place to eat when in Carson. read more

Went there for dinner this time. Service was attentive and Sean was knowable about the menu. The menu is not your typical Olive Garden Ameican Italian., but a bit more inventive. Good meal overall. Tasty and worth the price. read more

Best Italian good I've had in years. Wow. The calamari was tender and perfectly breaded. The bruschetta was the best I've ever tasted. The seafood pasta had perfect wine sauce with capers and the ciappino had great flavor and the broth was outstanding. Highly recommend this place. read more

Service took FOREVER and the food was not that great! I would not recommend eating there! We were very disappointed. I have to put a star, I don't want to but it won't post otherwise. read more

Worst service ever. Not only did we have to wait 10 minutes to just get seated but we also had to wait another 30-45 just to get our food. And the food was just okay at best. Not to mention when I had complained about the service, the waitress had the nerve to give me attitude and talk to me like I'm a moron. Never coming back here. Take your money elsewhere. read more

Just by chance we saw that the restaurant was close by the hotel we were staying at and said what the heck. Wow, we were surprised. The food was great. Looking forward to eating at your establishment in the future. read more

This is a fake ad. The menu at Garibaldi's in Carson City is completely different, and significantly more expensive. The staff of the restaurant is aware of this, but have been able to do nothing about it. The food is very good, but these prices are completely false, like what has been seen on CNN lately. read more

Had the calamari and they brought a steak knife with it. Right than I thought something was not quite right. You NEEDED a steak knife to cut it. You should NOT need a steak knife for calamari. They also now charge for a wilted salad which used to come with the meal. We saw more of the other waiter than ours. In their defense they did remove the charges for the tough calamari. Garibaldi's used to be one of our favorite restaurants, now not so much. There are much better restaurants in Carson City for the ambiance, food and service. Good Luck, You are going to need it. read more

14.95 for angel hair with a few diced tomatoes, garlic, and overpowered by lemon juice? No thanks. My husband did enjoy his ravioli although they were clearly from the frozen food section at Costco. The food is not worth the ridiculous pricing. Although I am not a fan of chain restaurants and patronize local business as much as possible, I would've had a better meal, service, and value at Olive Garden. I could also tell that the server was disgruntled since we didn't order alcoholic beverages. The salad was drenched in vinegar- not good vinegar, cheap white vinegar. Make a simple balsamic vinaigrette at least! Sooo disappointed and it's slim-pickens for good, local eats in Carson. This place could be good with some culinary help and a management/service overhaul. It is a charming building downtown, but make it worth taking up the prime location or get out!!! read more

I had gnocchi the other day and it was pretty good. Not amazing but pretty good. I definitely will come back to check out other options. The garlic bread was simple but great! read more

Supporting local businesses is a mini rule that my girlfriend Yuli and I try to focus on. And we've heard mixed things about Garibaldi's. So we decided to try it out for ourselves. Yuli snagged the Chicken Pesto special and I took the steak special with the mushroom sauce. I've never been to a fairly higher priced restaurant that didn't even serve salad or soup with your entree. We did get an order of garlic bread however which we waited on fairly long and went through quickly. During the course of the meal which had an ok taste to it. We did get good service from the ONE hostess who was dealing with everyone there. Foodwise, I've actually had better, for cheaper, in Virginia City. When I suggested we get a second round of garlic bread, we did, and they tacked on another x amount of dollars. No soup or salad with your entree, long wait, ok flavor, fairly expensive for what you get. Sorry Garibaldi's. You're too pricy for an average restaurant in my books. read more

We just love this place! Food is terrific and service is great! I love their garlic bread and the wine list is superb! You should go!

I am visitng friends in Minden and took them to dinner at Garibaldi's last evening. They love this place and so do I. I had one of the specials, sole, and it was perfectly done. The garlic bread my friends ordered when we first sat down was delicious. The service was great, the ambiance warm and friendly. The salad that came with dinner was ok, not great, but the main courses we selected (the sole, the calimari, the veal) were very, very good. read more

The atmosphere is ok , but needs updated such as it's cushion seats are worn and need to be replaced and tables need table clothes to improve atmosphere ( comes across as diner) . If you want bread, you will need to pay extra ) . I have been to alot of Italian restaurant's and this is the first one that bread is not complementary. Salad was ok, but not fresh. Main course was good! No price list for wine, but house wine a little high for the area. read more

Impressed, came for office party, great food ... everything looked good

They Still Do it Right. Wine is Prevalent Katrina still is a perfect waitress. And Mark Can Cook. And run a Cafe. Go in Have fun. Slow down. Enjoy. read more

Food was good but if using a gift card check charges online. They bumped up tip amount thinking no one checks gift card charges.

Fabulous lunch. Best fettuccine Alfredo I've had! Husband had greek salad which was also fabulous. Great, personable waitress! Will be back!

Food is too expensive for the quality. Jambalaya was 20 bucks but should be about 10. Service wasn't great either. We had a group of 6 and there was not many more tables, in the 2 hours we were there my soda cup got refilled once. Would go back if someone else pays for it. But not on my own dime. read more

Delicious food. I got the angel hair pasta with olive oil and tomatos. It was incredible. The warm bread that they gave me at the start of the meal was delicious. It had an elegant atmosphere that my wife enjoyed! I just moved here from the Ashland area, and I was very impressed. One of the best italian cuisine menus I have came across! read more

We ate at Garibaldi's for our anniversary. The food and service was wonderful. We would definately recommend it.

My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate our late Valentine's Day. And we were so incredibly satisfied with everything! Our server Shaun was very knowledgeable and kind, and led us to great selections. My boyfriend had the Swordfish and I loved the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. We will absolutely come back for the authentic Italian experience and friendly staff! Oh, and that Berry Cobbler with Ice Cream is on point! read more

We had dinner last week at Garibaldi's. My wife and I both loved our entrees. She had the pasta with cream, pesto, and shrimp and thought it was absolutely delicious. I also had a pasta with sausage and vegetables. We started with a dinner salad and everything was delicious. Don't forget to order the garlic bread. It is the best we have ever had in a restaurant. The prices are fair and the portions are large. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Very nice restaurant. Food is top notch. I use them mostly for lunches and it is awesome. Thank you all for your hard work. See you at my next lunch. read more

27 dollars for chicken fettuccine alfredo and garlic bread to go. The sauce was bland and goopy. Would never order here again.

Upon entering Garibaldi's my Father and I were impressed with the very pleasant decor. Then we were greeted by one of the two servers, both dressed in worn out jeans and shirts as if they worked in a hardware store. We were seated, given menus and our server then promptly disappeared. When she did return she took our drink orders and then vanished again. Awhile later she returned with our drinks, asked if we were ready to order and then offered to tell us about the specials. She told us about the swordfish and said if we wanted to know about the others she would have to go ask the chef. We placed our orders and both chose the Caesar Salad as the accompaniment. When our salads arrived they consisted of nothing more than a plate of iceberg lettuce and three croutons (yes. I counted them). With our server now nowhere to be found I asked the other server if I could order another drink and some bread? She said yes and proceeded to bring bread and drinks to all the other tables. But when we asked about ours we were told the beer taps were being fixed and the bread was in the oven. After a hour of waiting, with no contact what so ever from our server. I was able to flag her down and told her to please just bill us for the drinks we would just like to leave. Her response was, "You can't leave. Your food is almost ready. And besides you already ate salad and you have to pay for that." She walked away and returned with two plates and said, "Here's your food." Again I said that we would just like to leave and please give me a bill for the salads and the drinks. The other server then came to our table and asked if there was a problem? We explained our dissatisfaction with the service and would like to just pay our bill and leave, Without saying a word she walked away and returned with a bill charging us for our drinks and two nine dollar plates of lettuce. And also she refused to honor the $10 off coupon we had. As for the quality of the food? I don't know. We never got that far. read more

After ordering our meal, we sat for 20 minutes before our waiter returned, informing us that they were out of one of the dishes requested. We changed our order and requested bread which we saw being served on other tables. We were informed that they were out of bread at the moment but would have some more shortly. 10 minutes pass. Two customers that came in after us gets bread served along with their dinner. Our waiter returns informing us that we need to pick another main dish because the chef can't complete the proposed change. I enquire about bread again and am told it is on the way--apparently the other wait person served the bread that was intended for us to another table. So we change our order again. 10 more minutes pass and we are served our antipasti appetizer but still no bread--this is an Italian restaurant: you serve bread with antipasti. We nurse the antipasti, hoping the bread will arrive soon, after 15 minutes the bread arrives. The warm garlic bread is good, but the antipasti is almost gone. 15 minutes later our dinners finally arrive. To the restaurant's credit the dinner is good. So, two stars for the kitchen, zero stars for the Kafkaesque service. We won't be back. read more

This place was a real find! I had some of the best food I've had in a restaurant in a long time. I would put this place up against any Italain restaurant in SF any day! I had a swordfish dish in a lemon/caper sauce that was like nothing I've ever experienced. It was fresh as it gets, mild, fork tender and done to perfection. The sides were excellent, too, and the amount of food was amazing, no "little bites" here! My wife had the veal Milanese which was tender and moist and again, done to perfection. Prices were very reasonable, at least compared to Bay Area prices which we're used to. Make reservations because they get packed and it's a small place. The ONLY issue we had was the service. While the young lady was pleasant enough, it took a LONG time for the food to come out. yes, they were busy, but come on, 30 minutes for two orders? This needs to be addressed. I would have given 5 stars otherwise. Oh, and kind of odd that they have no wine list, but rather you have to go into another room and pick out what you'd like(?). read more

The food here is still terrific, but the service is terrible. Six of us sat down at 6:30 PM Wednesday night and didn't get water for 15 minutes, and food didn't arrive until 8:15. One of our party left in disgust; it seems this has become a regular problem here. read more

Walked in for dinner this evening. The restaurant was about half full, not busy at all for a Saturday night. Not really surprised after a long Nevada Day Parade though. My boyfriend and I ordered caesar salad and garlic bread to start. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo, he ordered a chicken and mushroom dish, I can't remember the name. We never received our garlic bread or salad. The food was okay. Nothing terrible about the meal, it just didn't meet our expectations for a locally owned Italian restaurant. We didn't mention the garlic bread or the salad to the waiter, only because we had been waiting and didn't want to wait any longer for these items, (our waiter did mention that everything is made in house). Luckily neither of those items were included on the bill. I don't think I'll be coming back, I've had much better luck, and prices, at our local Olive Garden. read more

On a recent trip to Carson City we received a recommendation from a local to eat at Garibaldi's. The food was fresh and flavorful. My husband had the blackened snapper. It was moist and tender with a little bite. The fish was served with vegetables and pasta that were excellent. I had more than my share of tastes from his plate. I had the pasta with chicken, artichokes, mushroom, and sundried tomatoes. The cream sauce was superb. The chicken was plentiful with just the right balance of artichokes and sundried tomatoes. Even the garlic bread was great; served hot and crunchy. Next time I'm in Carson City Garibaldi's will be my first stop. read more

We always try to go to Garibaldi's when we're in Carson. We went last night (April 19 2012) and weren't disappointed. The food and service were fantastic as always. An awesome "find" in Carson City, NV. read more

This is one of the top three restaurants in Carson City taking its place along side Adele's and Glen Eagle. Prices are fair, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is exactly what one would look for in a fine dining restaurant that doesn't put on airs, yet offers authenticity in food preparation and service. Great for that special evening or a drink and appetizers at the bar. Don't wait. Go now. read more

FIRST OF ALL- NEGATIVE STARS-NEVER EATING HERE AGAIN. I had intended on Ti Amos, but they are closed on Wednesday and it was my parents anniversary and my daughters birthday and they wanted Italian. We took a chance on Garibaldis even though I have never heard a kind review, other than the garlic bread. My adult daughter ordered a ceasar salad with anchovies. When the waitress returned we were told they had run out of anchovies over the weekend. It is Wednesday, what kind of shoddy operation is this? We were disappointed. I ordered veal and so did my daughter. My veal was tender. My daughters veal was as tough as rawhide. I informed the waitress that my daughters veal was tough but mine was fine she took my daughters plate and informed me that she would show the chef. The waitress came back with the bill and my boxed up veal. I asked her what the chef said. She informed me that he said there was nothing wrong with the veal. I told her that my veal was tender but her's was absolutely tough. She told me that the chef said my daughter's veal was as tender as mine cause he cut into my leftover veal and tried both of the veal. I WAS AGHAST! I said the chef tasted my veal that im taking home? The lying waitress then retracted that statement she made. She further informed me that the bill would not be adjusted. I asked to speak with the owner. I was then informed that the "chef" was the owner. The owner came to our table. Let me just say 'Condescending'!!!!. He told me that my daughter's veal was quality meat and her veal wasn't tough. He further stated that she must not have eaten veal before and doesn't know how it's supposed to taste. I informed him that it was her first time eating veal, but not my first time. I told him it was tough. I was not questioing the quality of the meat but how it was overcooked. I was getting nowhere with this condescending so called business person. I told him I would pay the bill and not ever come back! If this is the way he runs his business, I assure you his business will decline thus another closed up failed restaurant. I recommend to all yelp veiwers...don't eat there..go to Ti Amos!!! Great food and service there! read more

We were recommended this place but we're so disappointed. Our service was abismall. The food was mediocre and my husband's Linguini Fra Diablo forgot the Diablo! My calamari steak was bland. I will say, we did have a good bottle of wine...McMurray pint gris. Cheap and worth the price. Sorry but we won't be back. read more

I hate to leave a bad review, but this is the second poor experience in a row here and, for the price, people should save their money and go elsewhere. My husband and I were craving Italian for dinner and wanted to stay local; we went to Garibaldi's a few months back and had a poor experience, but figured they just had an off-night since we've had excellent dinners and service here in the past and really wanted to give them another go. But now, after tonight, I think they've changed the chef and most of the wait staff since our last decent visit, so I probably won't be back. We arrived about 5:15 Saturday night to an almost empty restaurant and were seated promptly. The server, who we had the last time, was very nice and friendly. I ordered a glass of house chardonnay and an appetizer of wild mushrooms on crostini. The wine came out immediately and was WARM. I swear, the wine was warmer than the restaurant. We had to go find the waiter and see if he could chill it somehow. I'm not pretentious, but for $9 a glass, they could at least serve it chilled. 15 minutes later, I finally got the wine I ordered, along with the appetizer, which, btw, was great. The sauce on the mushroom crostinis was similar to the sweet Marsala sauce served at the Carson Nugget next door, so I'm thinking they may have a chef that has worked both restaurants, but the sauce was good regardless (still cheaper at the Nugget, though). I tried for another glass of wine to go with my entree...still not cold, but not as warm as the first glass. Also, no Ceasar salad option either, which is surprising for a high-end Italian restaurant, but you can order side salad with the option of Ceasar dressing (or ranch, or honey mustard...). The menu items weren't available as listed either (no lobster tail that night, only prawns). My husband and I each ordered sole for our entree, which comes with veggies and pasta. I asked if I could substitute else something for the pasta, so they offered to do extra veggies. The entree was good but not better than what you might find at decent chain restaurant. My husband and I got exactly the same portions of veggies, only his meal came with pasta. The server joked saying my husband got my extra veggies, which would have been super funny if I wasn't super hungry and it didn't cost me $25 for fish and a handful of carrots and zucchini. No apologies, no bill adjustment, no comped wine to reconcile the first glass. Nearly $100 with tip for two people, which isn't outrageous of it were a nice dinner, but then certain things should be expected when paying that much for a meal. This was not a fine dining experience but cost just as much. Wish I could say it was better, but just not worth it for the price. If you want better Italian, go to Reno. read more
