Il Gabbiano provides a satisfying dining experience with friendly and accommodating staff, generous portions, and delicious food seasoned to perfection. The restaurant features a great menu, wonderful drinks, and a beautiful water view, making it an ideal spot for special celebrations and repeat visits. Customers have enjoyed dishes like the sea bass special and chicken cordon bleu prepared in a brandy sauce. The chicken and veal Milanese are also highly recommended, with the arugula salad being light and delicious. Many reviewers praised the attentive staff, noting quick responses and excellent service, especially during lunch when they received very attentive care. The menu includes appetizers, mains, and tasty mocktails. The location offers a spectacular view of the water and a lively atmosphere, enhanced by live music. Guests appreciate the fresh, well-cooked meals, with some noting the mushrooms in the pasta were cooked perfectly and oysters on the half shell were delicious. Overall, visitors find the experience exceptional and look forward to returning for special occasions. However, some mention that Il Gabbiano, as an upscale restaurant, should reinforce certain dress code standards, like removing hats at dinner time, to maintain a high level of decorum and service quality.
