Food was outstanding as usual. The server we had kept trying to upsell us. She also didn't tell us the specials until asked and also skipped the appetizer special. We wanted to share a salad but she mentioned just getting two smalls. We took her recommendation and looked at the bill later and she charged us 22 dollars for it. The one we ordered was 16. We will go back but refuse her as our server.

Great experience as my wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The waitstaff made our dining experience special, and the food as always was outstanding. Bravo to Cafe Gabbiano for providing the perfect environment for our celebration. Al & Kate Bovino

Our dinner at Gabbiano's was amazing! Great food. Great service! First time to Siesta Key. Gabbiano's was recommended by a friend. Did not disappoint. First night was so wonderful with our waiter Ricco, we went a second night! Had Ricco and the same table in the wine cellar room both times. Wine selection was amazing. Food was excellent. Ricco made excellent meal suggestions. We will definitely return on future trips to Siesta Key.

We had a party of 10, celebrating a 60th birthday. Robbie went above and beyond with his amazing service and attention to detail. They even had a birthday mini cake with decorations from our hometown that they printed out. Also took a group photo and had a birthday card. The food was incredible as well. I highly recommend eating here, especially for a celebration.

The poached pear salad was perfect and the dressing light and home made. The osso buco veal ravioli was outstanding and the staff could not have been any friendlier! We will be back soon.

Cafe Gabbiano's. One of the premier Italian restaurant s. Went for birthday and they delivered as always.

Very good restaurant with solid menu and good quality food. Service was professional and attentive. Our sautéd calamari and bruschetta appetizers were excellent. My veal chop was tasty but could have been leaner. My wife's clams and pasta were very good. Try a cannoli for dessert.

The best, most delicious Branzino in the area. Not only served at your table in the proper way of bringing the entire fish to your table to ensure freshness, it was large and filleted at the table, with only one tiny bone that was easily found and disposed of. The atmosphere of dining in a wine cellar was a new experience that we enjoyed. Always a pleasure dining here.

This restaurant has upped its game. Servers coming from everywhere to bring hot bread, deliver food and clear dishes. Robbie was an awesome Server. I would request his table again
Terrific food, service and atmosphere. The veal was the best I’ve ever had. The drinks were amazing. Shout out to #DanielleDelivers for the recommendation and kudos to the owners, chefs and staff for an incredible dining experience.

My wife and I love this restaurant and visit it whenever we're in the Sarasota area. We had a 7:30pm reservation and were the only ones seated in a small room that's lined with wine bottles. Very nice ambiance and we really enjoyed the background music, an eclectic mix of Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Louie Armstrong, some Motown and soft rock. Our server Arantza was quite personable and gave us very attentive service. My wife and I really enjoyed our entrees although if I had any complaint, it was that my dish while tasty, wasn't very hot temperature-wise. All in all it was another very enjoyable and satisfying meal and dining experience. We'll be back again soon!

Plenty of menu selections. The service was excellent, our waiter was polite, professional, provided the specials of the evening and gave some added suggestions. Our courses were timed and served appropriately, our main entree’s were super! This is an excellent Italian restaurant.
