"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
"The fanciful indoor dining space with underwater decor has a view of the waterfront, the USS Midway, and the old Padres field. The secluded section can hold large parties or semi-private tables for smaller groups. The coastal Mediterranean menu features Sicillian-style pizzas from the on-site Italian oven, Blue Zone salad, local spiny lobster, and Sardinian gnocchetti. The Festa della Mamma is a set menu with popular dishes and an add-on option for bottomless spritzes." - Helen I. Hwang
"Catch the sunset on Garibaldi’s ocean-view patio, where happy hour begins at 4:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday and at 4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday and lasts until sunset, meaning its food and drink deals will extend as the sun sets later into summertime. The Italian-inflected menu includes Amati Fizz made with San Diego-grown and produced myrtle berry liqueur and snacks like tuna tartare with Calabrian chile, pickled celery, capers, pine nuts, and Sardinian flatbread and a fritto misto with calamari, green beans, marinated olives, grilled lemon, and pepperoncini aioli." - Candice Woo
