Wood-Fired Pizza and Pasta Fuel Carlsbad’s New Italian Kitchen - Eater San Diego
"A new Italian restaurant that’s coming to The Square at Bressi Ranch in Carlsbad where it joins of growing roster of eateries including Casero Taqueria, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, and Mendocino Farms, will feature wood-fired pizza and freshly-made pasta. Named Giaola’s Italian Kitchen, it’s by the Grand Restaurant Group (GRG), which also operates Bellamy’s in Escondido, Rancho Santa Fe’s Nick & G’s, and The Ranch at Bandy Canyon in San Pasqual. Sandra DiCicco, who runs GRG with her daughter Gianina, has deep roots in Italian restaurants; in 1956, her family opened the first DiCicco’s in Clovis, California, which now has locations around the Central Valley. The time-honored traditional recipes brought from Italiy by the family will be the foundation of the menu at Giaola’s Italian Kitchen. Scheduled to open this November, the 3,000-square-foot restaurant includes a 930-square-foot patio." - Candice Woo
