As the first US-based concept from husband-wife duo Saul Plata and his wife Carelma Rodriguez, as well as his partner Antonio and Diana, Garbatella Osteria in Otay Ranch, is the coming together of cultures, of travels, and of a lifetime of experiences. The Italian menu is crafted to reflect the authentic Italian flavors of Antonio’s childhood with recipes he has loved and cooked for decades.We are thrilled to call Chula Vista home and root ourselves here.

Thankful for Lauren for accommodating the change on my reservation. A slight mishap occurred and i was still On the road 30 minutes on my reservation of 5 pm and she helped me. Food is always good in Pizzo's. Consistent and very generous in portion. Very tasty. I love the Mussels and the rustic salad. This is my family's favorite restaurant and i hope you try it!
