Ordered lobster raviolis. The sauce was so heavy I couldn't taste any lobster. Totally overpowered the dish. And the sauce was not that good itself. My friend had a Caesar salad she said was mediocre. Sweet ambience and good service. Too bad the food is lousy. It has been years since I was there and hoped it had gotten better. It hasn't.

Well let's start by saying my wife and I were really hoping to like this place. We were extremely hungry saw the menu and decided to give it a try. We were greeted which is nice but then asked if we had reservations, we said no and then said it's ok we can come back another time. The person said well you can stay but only to a 2 hour limit. Well ok fine like we don't need to stay longer anyways but fast forward I heard her ask some people that came in, if they had a reservation and said no she simply said your fine go head and sit. Shouldn't everyone be told that? The ambience is nice yet crowded and since it's cozy it may get really warm in there. Our sever was lovely very nice and talkative and kind. The hostess needs to learn to be more friendly. The food (also waaaay overpriced) The focaccia was great Butternut squash was ok I thought it was a soup because it was trenched in liquid. The taste was there but was overpowered by the cut up veggies and fruit. 5/10 Chanterelle Mushroom Risotto very underwhelming needed salt lacked flavor 3/10 Fresh ingredients is great but still needs flavor/ seasoning. Don't know what the spin is here on the food. My thoughts was well we tried it and it's just not for us. Wish we would have read the reviews first. If you want real Italian food go to an authentic Italian restaurant. Side note my wife notice an elderly couple asked a server if they can somewhat change a dish, the server agreed with no problem but when she turned around and walked away she rolled her eyes. With all said and done 2 stars.

Good service, cozy atmosphere, cauliflower and brussel sprouts appetizers were excellent.

The Open Table process was easy and simple. I received both a confirmation and reminder of the date and time of my reservation. Gabriella Cafe continues to provide excellent meals. Their menu is not static. It's always interesting to see what changes they've made to their menu. I've been here for both lunches and dinners unless than 5 times. They've never disappointed me. Try it if you've not had the opportunity.

The four of us had a nice variety......roasted beet salad, crispy brussel sprouts, caesar salad, butternut squash ravioli (awesome!) petrale sole and duck confit!!! we had a time crunch to attend a show, and were given speedy and cheerful service!! The portions were quite generous with leftovers for another meal. we will definitely return!

I went on a recommendation from someone I know. Was not disappointed. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. I ordered the sole with sautéed veggies. Had the focaccia with olives as an appetizer. Service was outstanding as was the ambiance. I'll be back.

overall experience was ok. The seating was squished. the spinach frittata was soggy and bland, I don't recommend it. But our waitress kindly replaced it with the butternut squash ravioli, which was pretty good. The eggs florentine was also good. The service was strange... don't think we'll be coming back.
7:30pm reservation. We were seated straight away but it took 15 minutes for anyone to come to the table. We ordered then it took 20 minutes to get our drinks. First course came out an hour after sitting down. 2nd 30 minutes later. Waitress basically ignored her section and avoided any eye contact during the delays. Total time for meal was 2 hours. They did comp the drinks but still the delay was ridiculous.

We loved our dinner and the wine selection. Gabriella's is charming and special. The servers are so nice and friendly but the service was not up to par....maybe because of early Valentines diners? Looking forward to eating there again.

My 8 year old daughter and I had Sunday Brunch at Gabriella's. The service was fast and the staff was very attentive. The food was delicious. My daughter had waffles with a glass of orange juice. She said it was the best orange juice she ever had. I had the salmon lox eggs Benedict and the portion was huge. If I could have finished it, I would have.
Excellent choice for bringing joy and pleasure to our family from out of town.

We have always loved everything we've ordered from here. ESPECIALLY THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS. Get them. I didn't know I could LOVE brussel sprouts before I had these. Gabriella's is a small, European-style restaurant, so yes, small-ish tables, without a ton of space between. And totally worth it. They also added a fantastic outdoor street-side tented area (with heaters) during Covid, that is a great addition, I hope they'll get to keep forever. It is farm-to-table, beautiful, and delicious. That doesn't come cheap, and isn't out of line with other similar restaurants. Just don't go there looking for routine, cheap food. ;)

Excellent food and service. We found this place after visiting the Spanish Mission nearby. We were super impressed by the good vibes by the staff. The food was great, the staff were great, and the wine was great.
