Went for a family Birthday and the service from Gabby was enormous as we enjoyed our time together with her wonderful customer service and personalty.

Excellent, professionally friendly and courteous, knowledgeable about the menu and individual food and drink information. Will definitely return

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!

It was a perfect Christmas Eve dinner. The decor was on point. Food was great and reasonable. The steak was just undercooked so we had to send back to redo. Overall great!
