My daughter in law and I were walking by this restaurant we were offered a taste of the garlic bread it was delicious we were given a coupon, we continued on our way shopping because it was early morning and we weren’t hungry.

Just had a fantastic Birthday Dinner here. Each dish is hand made with individual seasonings/sauces. Best Alfredo Sauce and Marinara we have EVER had!! So many choices and each one was so delicious! Even the Gluten free pasta and Zoodles were delicious. The service was over the top! Every single person treated us like we were royalty! Thank you Joe for encouraging us to come in and try it!! You are very talented. Thank you Justin for the over the top service. You underestimated yourself when you said you’d give us “great service”. It was unbelievably attentive, helpful and you all were so fun!!

Love this place! Food is all homemade and tastes amazing. This has been a mainstay in Carlsbad for almost 30 years. The staff was great and helped keep our little girls entertained while we had a wonderful dinner.

Absolutely amazing Italian food! We stopped here on a food tour and had the artichoke hearts with garlic cheese and olives With the amazing garlic bread with marinara! Definitely had to come back and had Mike our server who was amazing! Had one of the house favorites roasted Peppers as the appetizer which was phenomenal! Had the sausage peppers and onion with marinara which was one of his great recommendations! My wife had the chicken pomero which is also fantastic! Got to see Fran one of the owners as well which was fun. Can’t wait to eat my leftovers in a few hours! Thanks Mike, Fran, and Caldo Pomodoro family!

This was an amazing dining experience. The garlic bread, pesto pasta, and their lasagna are so delicious, the best Italian I’ve had in CA. The staff go above and beyond and their customer service is top notch.

Service was amazing. Aubree was so so sweet and went above and beyond to make my boyfriend and I happy. They can cater their menu to vegans which was nice. The veggie pasta with red sauce was vegan and delicious. They hooked it up with vegan oil dressing with vegan rolls that was amazing. Very pleased will definitely be back <3

Absolutely amazing food and ambiance. The family feel, the care and attention paid to the food, the personal care taken to make everyone feel welcomed, it all made us feel like we’d been coming to this restaurant for years despite it being our first time. The best garlic bread I’ve ever had, and overall one of the best Italian dinners my wife and I have ever had.

ALL TIME BEST restaurant experience! This business has the most incredible food and experience I’ve found to date. The menu is absolutely decadent. The breadsticks alone are enough to write a review about. The staff is engaging and passionate about their art. This restaurant makes for incredible food and an incredible experience. Dine on site for the most amazing night out!
