What User doesn't like about Giardino Neighborhood Cucina:
we have made a reservation that we are sitting right away, but wait over an hour and minutes for our dinner. when we asked the server how much longer it would be, she said more minutes. we decided to go instead because it was and we had to go home and bed. it was restaurant week and they served both a regular as well as special menu that I think the kitchen did not in the position to maintain with sorrow. it was bad. View all feedback. What User likes about Giardino Neighborhood Cucina:
as always, eating was great. had the chicken parmigiana. so good and had enough for lunch the next day. Sausage and calamari starters were also great. I thought the restaurant weekly menu was very well made with a beautiful variety. karina (owner) is always so inviting. She knows her things safely. View all feedback.
