Everything was great overall. I have their iconic lasagna with garlic bread and clam chowder. The taste is exactly what I want. It is just around $2x with these hella foods, and my server are really caring and welcoming as well. Ambience factor is the blend of vintage silk landscape and decoration with the great music Worth the experience and money you spend!
Just had an incredible lunch at Gumba’s Italian Cuisine! 🍝🍕 From the comforting bowl of soup to the crispy, cheesy pizza and creamy pasta, everything was absolutely delicious. The vibe is so inviting and authentic—definitely a hidden gem for all Italian food lovers! If you’re craving great pizza, pasta, and good vibes, this place is a must-visit. BService was amazing. Waiter ensured that we were well taken care of. Can’t wait to go back! 🇮🇹✨ #ItalianFood #FoodieFinds #GumbasItalianCuisine
We came for the 6 pm dinner - was not too crowded so we sat outside . We ordered quite a few dishes but seemed like our server didn’t like that . The calamari was okay but only had about 12 pieces so not sure I would order again . The pizza were very good . The pasta dishes was well made , the lasagna was just okayed. Our server did not come by to see if we need anything - our glasses were empty ; overall foods were good but don’t expect services -too bad because we would of return again to enjoy the pasta and the pizza .
Disappointing... I ordered a tiramisu, but it was dreadful. It came with more whipped cream than tiramisu and the tiramisu itself was frozen. I wanted to order a espresso with the dessert — the machine didn't work (this was at 7:30pm). I also tried to order a limoncello, but they didn't have any (a real Italian place would definitely have limoncello, probably even homemade).
As a bonus on this unfortunate evening: the table was covered in cheap plastic. It was sticky and dirty. Finally, the entire restaurant was filled with smoke.
My waitress was friendly and quick.
I had a great time there the food was very yummy and the waiter was so nice the atmosphere was also nice.I had a great experience I reccomend you To go here
Very salty pizza ! Horrible!
I ordered the same thing yesterday (2nd) and today (April 3rd) , 2025. You can see the difference for yourself. The ice chocolate drink was not mixed well at all and much of the chocolate syrup was not even mixed well with the milk. It tasted bland. The waitress was very nice yesterday and even gave me a refill as I was waiting for my calzone for long. It’s crazy how just 24 hours apart the experience is so different. I love this place and hope they incorporate the feedback.
You may be skeptical when you walk through the door, but trust me—stay! The normal garlic bread and vegetarian ravioli are to die for! The flavors are rich, and the portions are perfect for satisfying any craving. The desserts too—the berry panna cotta, coconut flan, and especially the exotica gelato bomb—were genuinely amazing. Each bite was a burst of flavor, with the perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
Beyond the food, the service was genuinely fantastic—the staff was attentive, friendly, and eager to ensure that every guest had a great time. It is not too loud or extravagant, making the perfect atmosphere for a dinner with good company, food, and conversation. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again!
A bit overpriced. My fettuccine carbonara was tasty, but the included salad looked like they didn’t put in any effort to make it presentable - it was just a pile of barely cut vegetables. The Calzone Dijon had too much mustard, which made it hard to eat, and the tiramisu was more like a cake, lacking the creamy texture and moisture.
It would be better if they worked on the presentation of their dishes and adjusted the amount of ingredients they use.
Good costume service, I like the style of the restaurant

Ordered chicken parmesan and pizza for takeout. My first time after others recommended. Pizza was good but chicken was inedible. Totally overcooked and dry. Sad to trash and expensive meal!
It was my family’s first time eating at Gumba’s and we had the most amazing experience. They’re service was top notch! They were so kind, generous and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. We sat outside, very nice patio seating. We look forward to coming back soon :)
Good food
Nice staff
Complimentary ice cream on the house
Delicious food! Excellent service :)
Food was poor. Garlic bread was soggy and tasteless. Clams did not taste fresh. Creamy pink sauce tasted like a Mac and cheese kind of sauce. Very disappointed in the food. The ambiance was that of an old, musty, restaurant in need of some updating.
