This is hands down the best restaurant in Fuquay-Varina and one of the best Italian restaurants anywhere. I have Italian friends who when they come to visit, this is the first place they want to eat every single time. Over the years I've had most of the things on the menu and never a bad meal. Never had bad service. Often times the owner will come out and speak with you as will the chef. The kids meals are spectacular and priced perfect as well. My kids love the pizza. Heck, I love the kids pizza as well as the regular pizza. Best pizza in Fuquay also (vs Anna's, Assagios, J&S, Johnny's, and Aviator). In fact if I want pizza I often order it to go and pick it up. My favorite meal is the lamb lollipops. It's not a permanent menu item but it's always on special. I've had their steaks and they are cooked to perfection and rival the Angus Barn (well, almost...but if he opened a steakhouse like he's been saying for 4 years then it would). The scallops are another favorite meal of mine. I don't really eat pasta myself, heartburn, but all of my friends and family love it. The fettuccini is something I can eat and my daughter loves it and gets it every time. You can't really go wrong with any of their pastas. They do serve hot fresh made bread with olive oil and herbs....we usually go through extra because it's so good. You can't go wrong with any of the salads as a meal or an appetizer. And I always get the Creme brûlée for dessert. I could go on and on about every item on the menu and how great the service is but go see for yourself. On the weekends they frequently have live music as well.

Hands down the best Italian food in Garner. Great service and ambiance. An all around Great experience.

I love thier rigatoni vodka, Its creamy light pink. We also love their white pie. The red pizza is just ok. I order my own white pizza and add alot more ricotta cheese. I have been making my own french bread pizza at home. I defrost store brand garlic bread. I use a spoon to wipe the majority if the garlic spread off. I add either my own homemade sauce or alfredo, toppings like sauteed peppers and onions chopped, and Mozzarella a pinch of parmesan and oregano and fresh basil when its done cooking. you need to keep it wrapped in foil if frozen. Cook 425 degrees for 20 minutes then I cut it in half and open the foil just enough to cook the middle not the edges, keep the edges of the pizza covered or they will be burnt. We ordered 2 pizzas from any ther restaurant it was $52 on door dash, so, maybe $42 for pick up. I cant wait to go to Giardellis to dine in person.

Very good pizza to go last evening. Meatball and onion pizza was good. Cheese pizza was also good. A good service experience at pick up.

Enjoyed yet another amazing dinner here tonight with my Dad. The clams appetizer was simply amazing! I dipped my bread in that sauce after the clams were gone! They were out of escargot but our wonderful server David suggested the clams and I might've even liked them better. We also ordered the calamari which were crispy yet tender and fresh. I ordered the carbonara again and it was just as delicious as the first time I had it. My Dad went for the veal Parmesan and he cleaned his plate along with the side of spaghetti. He said it was amazing. I also had the lemoncello martini while my dad had a whiskey and my drink was perfectly sweet and tart and I had to stop myself from gulping it down. Not only is the food amazing but the staff are incredible at their jobs. David was so attentive and accommodating. This is definitely one of my favorite spots to dine in this area. Bravo!

Friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere. The garlic knots had a great cook and texture, but lacked the expected flavorful punch. The Genovese pizza was quite nice, however some of the eggplant pieces were unevenly cooked. This left some pieces of the pie more pleasant than others.

My all-time favorite Italian eatery in the FV area! The meatballs and the gnocchi are to die for! My husband and I have only done take-out, but that does not change their quality. Cooked to perfection every time! And I do not have any photos of what we order since I tend to start eating before I get a chance. :p
