Carson City – December 20, 2023 – A family night out to celebrate my wives birthday in Carson City is an annual tradition. The question is always “where do you want to go?” In 2023 the answer was i want “Eggplant Parm” from Garibaldis. It has been a favorite of hers for over 10 years in Carson City.
So I booked a reservation by calling and leaving a message. Garibaldis is a little different then other places in Carson City, they open at 5 pm six days a week and close at 9pm, so reservations are a requirement.
With our oldest and daughter in law, we arrived at 5:30 and we welcomed immediately by staff who lead us to a table, took or drink orders and let us order some of their famous Garlic Bread as a starter.
Drinks in hand the orders were simple, Two eggplant Parm’s, a Classic Spaghetti and Meat Ball and I’ll have the special, two pork chops on bead of seasoned polenta. the atmosphere is always so relaxing and the staff so friendly, which allows us to laugh and share stories of the week while waiting for our house made classic originals.
When the food arrived, I honestly think you could have just shared all the plates around the table, they all looked so good. The Meatball is so huge and delicious, (I have had this in the past) My wife and son were thrilled with the Eggplant and I loved the Pork chops which had been ponded so they were juicy and tender with a panko breaded crust and the Sun Dried tomato’s Polenta was so smooth and flavorful.
Check paid and a Merry Christmas wish from the staff and we leave back into the Cold winter night in Downtown Carson city, enjoying the variety of Christmas decorations at the state capital and long the streets. Another successful Birthday dinner with the family at a great local establishment.
