Garibaldi Trattoria Pizza & Pasta

Garibaldi Trattoria Pizza & Pasta brings downtown Fuquay-Varina a polished yet cozy dining room where servers guide guests through long-standing family recipes and wine-friendly plates. The full-service trattoria pairs candlelit ambiance with neighborhood warmth, a combination that helped it earn Best Italian Restaurant honors in Main & Broad magazine’s 2024 Maggy Awards. Locals settle in for date nights, celebrations, and relaxed weeknight dinners alike.

The kitchen leans on imported San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella di bufala, and housemade sauces to turn out signature dishes. Must-try favorites include the Garibaldi Pizza layered with meatballs and ricotta, Lasagna Della Nonna stacked with bechamel and hearty ragu, and seafood-forward Zuppa Di Pesce simmered in tomato brodo. Pastas such as gnocchi Bolognese, penne alla vodka, and chicken Marsala showcase the menu’s breadth, while salads, antipasti, and desserts like tiramisu round out the experience.

Beyond the dining room, Garibaldi supports celebrations with in-house event coordination, catering packages, and convenient online ordering for takeout. Guests can reserve tables directly through the restaurant and use partner delivery platforms when a night in beckons. Friendly hospitality, thoughtful amenities, and a deep Italian repertoire keep this Main Street staple on the short list for Triangle diners craving la dolce vita close to home.
