    Love this place so much! Had the beet and goat cheese salad to start and then we ordered the chicken florentine and rigatoni bolognese. Food was full of great flavor, the service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience was chill and pretty. Highly, highly recommend!!

    My wife and I had such a great evening at Giardino Neighborhood Cucina in Lemon Grove. The food was incredible – the Pappardelle Bolognese was rich and flavorful, the Tiramisu was perfect, and the wine selection really brought everything together. Roberto, our server, was amazing—so friendly and attentive. After dinner, we checked out Zest, the wine bistro right next door, owned by the same people as Giardino. Heather was working there and gave us great recommendations for wine, making it a perfect way to end the night. If you’re looking for delicious Italian food, awesome service, and a great spot to relax with a glass of wine, Giardino and Zest are a winning combo. We can’t wait to come back!

    I have been here 3 times and every time my experience was really good. This evening we had the best waiter, Nadia. She provided the best service! We had the meat lovers pizza, Demi Moore burger, and Kale Cesar salad. All really tasty! Also the decor of the restaurant is a vibe!
