San Diego’s Top Restaurants for Wedding Receptions and Dinners | Eater San Diego
"Guests attending a wedding at Garibaldi are greeted by an orange Vespa signaling the entrance to the restaurant on the third floor of the Intercontinental Hotel. Attendees wind their way around the kitchen to an outdoor patio with views of the Waterfront, the USS Midway, and an underwater-themed indoor dining space. Named after the California state fish and Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi, this restaurant highlights southern Italian cuisine and beers such as the Birra Dolomiti pilsner. Attendees can dip into reception seafood stations with Baja prawns and shucked oysters or reach for a Sicilian flatbread with San Marzano tomatoes and ricotta. Prix fixe menu selections include Sicilian meatballs with ‘nduja tomato sauce; squid ink spaghetti with seared scallops and an uni emulsion; and a mascarpone pistachio sponge cake for dessert. As far as space goes, the private dining room can hold up to 25 guests, the indoor area has the capacity for 75, and the outdoor venue has room for up to 100 attendees. Couples choosing the full buyout plan can invite up to 200 guests to celebrate living la dolce vita." - Roxana Becerril
