Giabella Fine Italian Cuisine PERMANENTLY CLOSED

We were going to go to Carrabba's but they had a wait so we thought we'd try here instead, and so glad we did. They're hospitable, friendly, have a wonderful menu and their food is amazing. Forget about Carrabba's from now on, this is our new Italian go to spot in Palm Coast. Can't wait to try more dishes. Thank you.

This restaurant was fabulous find with very friendly and professional service and delicious food. Food is cooked to order and tastes so much better than other local pasta places. Atmosphere is nice for a strip mall and tablecloths are a welcome touch. Expect all the usual Italian dishes but done very well. Prices reasonable for quality and portions sizes. Overall we were impressed and look forward to visiting again.

Highlight of visit: Chicken alla Vodka

Very nice little family run place hidden away behind Walmart. This is our favorite Italian restaurant in Palm Coast as we like the cozy atmosphere and delicious food. In true Italian style the portions here are very generous and prices very fair. Everything we've had has been very tasty even the Caesar salad has the best homemade dressing. Staff are good and very accommodating to special requests, but it can be a little slow if you visit during peak times. It's hard to find but it's past Carrabba's next to the mattress store.

Definitely the best Italian food in Palm Coast and beats Carrabba's next door. They try really hard here and from the welcoming service to the their food that not only looks lovely but tastes amazing and is also plentiful and flavorful. Their bread is excellent and I can never get enough. I must admit that although everyone is super friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is not the best and can feel a little stark at times. However, we are delighted to have Giabella's close to home and we will remain regulars.

Highlight of visit: Chicken Pasta Alla Vodka is to die for :-)

I have just learned that they will no longer serve pizza, calzone, or stromboli, all of which were very good. The other dishes I tried off their menu I often found either too wet or too lemony. The service was always very good thanks to Patrick. I think they are making a mistake trying to be strictly high end especially with their current location in a small unit in a strip mall. Good luck!

Very authentic, tasty food, great atmosphere and attentive staff. So glad that my parents introduced us to Giabella; they really have it together!

Always a pleasure dining here. The staff is very friendly and attentive, but what puts this restaurant above and beyond is the chef and owner. Upon hearing we were vegan he immediately came out to speak with us asking what ingredients and pasta we liked and custom made a dish for us each! They were both different and exactly what we were craving. The quality of ingredients are superb as well. After dinner he came back out to see how we liked everything and spoke with us for about 20 minutes. He is such a nice person with a huge passion for what he does. He truly loves his job and going the extra mile to make each individual happy. He said anytime we are thinking of coming in to give him a heads up and he will have some vegan dishes prepared for the elegant dining nights. Whether you are vegan or not, you will definitely be catered to at Giabella! Best Italian in the area, I guarantee.

*Note: The first time we came it was super busy and we did not meet the owner at that time, although we still got a delicious vegan dish. The second time there were only a few tables and he had the time to personally come out and had remembered a table coming in the week before ordering vegan dishes and wanting to come out to speak with us, but not having the opportunity to do so.

We usually get delivery but have eaten in a few times. This is simply the best Italian food in Palm Coast! We have never had a bad or mediocre meal from Giabella ever. If you try them once you will be hooked. The pizza is great the chicken bianco is to die for. Try the chicken Parmesan or chicken Frances and chicken picatta is marvelous. If you want seafood try the pesce di mare, superb.

First time ordering here, I did a delivery, waited almost an hour for the food, which is expected during dinner hours. The food had a packaging issues and was all over the place the driver apologized and took the food back and said she would be back in 15-20 minutes with new food. After almost another hour of waiting I called to see what was going on, was placed on hold for ten minutes, while on hold, a new driver showed up. I received a new order but was missing part of the kids meal. At this point I was rather frustrated with the company. The driver could tell I wasn't satisfied, he called the owner, came back to our house. The owner was extremely polite, apologized, wanted to hear what was going on (didn't just make excuses and ignore my frustration) gave us a discount for the meal, they handled the situation very well.

I don't write reviews and was going to make an exception for what originally was turning out to be disappointing, however, accidents happen and with the way the driver and owner resolved my dissatisfied experience, we will happily order from them again. I had a chance to eat the lasagna I ordered (which is a couple dollars cheaper than the other Italian pizzerias) was delicious! It tasted homemade and surpassed any of the others I have tried around here. My daughter who is going through that picky stage loved her spaghetti. The bad part of our service was due to training a new employee, busy business, and accidental packaging issue none of which affected the quality of our food. Great food, owner really cares about his customers and wants to make sure they are satisfied. Extremely impressed.

Best I have eaten since my fine dining in New York. Fabulous. Highly recommend to anyone. Seafood as well as the pasta and pizza cannot be surpassed.

I love their lunch specials with 2 large pieces of pizza and a drink for $5.00. Great pizza and great price!

My husband and I had pizza, a bottle of wine and chocolate mousse that the chef recommended. Everything was wonderful. The pizza crust is exceptionally thin and very good.

At one other time we had a dinner and will do so next time. My husband already knows he is having the chicken cacciatore and I 'm not sure what I will have but I'm confident it will be delicious.

It's a very small intimate dining room and on the week-ends they use tablecloths and light candles. It 's a delightful little restaurant with very good food.

Chicken Parm was great, I had it for the next day too. Large servings, the owners are very nice people.

My wife and I had dinner at Giabella for our first time Friday evening, and we had a wonderful experience! Everything was great from start to finish and everyone there was very kind and professional. We each ordered the Cioppino fish stew and it was amazing. Excellent traditional Italian entrees as well. We will be back soon!

We are so happy to have found Giabella's near our new home in Palm Coast. Chef Tony's creations are exquisite and the pizza and bread are as good as anything we have had in Italy and New York. The staff is social and accommodating and the prices are very reasonable. We recommend Giabella's to anyone who is looking for authentic Italian cooking.

Horrible service. Waitress was not timely and things went from bad to worse when she didn't offer to remedy a terrible entree. Will never go there again

Pizzeria by day and during the week, more like an Italian restaurant on weekend nights. It was our first trip there, so we tried a variety of things. Everything we tried was tasty pizza, Stromboli, homemade meatballs, and pasta. We will def. be back!

First time to Giabella. Have been in Palm Coast for 13 years and no question this the best pizza in Flagler County. The staff are very friendly and made you fell like it was your own home. Will be going back, no doubt.

We have gone here a few times. Food is great and the service is wonderful. It's very personal the chef comes out to meet you to makes sure you are satisfied. Highly recommended!

Great Italian food, service. The chef came out personally to make sure all our requests were met. Service was great and we all enjoyed. A new favorite!
