SIMPLY AMAZING. We had an event at Il Gabbiano and it was exceptional. The staff are very professional and kind. The service was excellent! The food tastes REALLY good and the cost is very reasonable. And to Alex the owner…I take a bow to you because you are awesome. I couldn’t be more happy and satisfied..My husband and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for extending your restaurant to our family and friends. You and your team showered us with love and respect. I HIGHLY recommend Il Gabbiano in Cranford if you are looking to have a small and cozy event. 10ssss across the board. I have NO complaints. I thank you and your team for making my daughter’s baby dedication dinner so memorable. 🩷🩷 WJ

Aug2025: our group of 5 thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We had great appetizers (spicy sweet calamari & stuffed avocado), salad and various entrees (see pics) plus dessert (NY cheesecake, chocolate mousse, & cannoli). Service was outstanding and they were very attentive. This place is small and it rained so we ate inside however wasn't crowded. Love that it's BYOB!

Our appetizer, calamari, was VERY TOUGH. Restaurant needs to address food quality. Tasted as if was frozen and just reheated.

Delicious food, excellent service. It was a beautiful summer night so we decided to be seated in the outdoor tent. Inside seemed a little noisy as they were busy. Will definitely return.

Our group of friends try to meet at least twice a year at Il Gabbiano. We keep returning because it is perfect for us. What makes it perfect? The service is attentive and spot on, always anticipating any need. The food is delicious and the value is great. We receive restaurant food at easy to afford prices. The fact Il Gabbiano is BYOB is appreciated by all. We have dined both outside and inside and were always comfortable and at ease as we lingered over our meal, never rushed or ignored. We just celebrated a birthday for a friend and the staff could not have been more accommodating. Perfect! Some friends drive a distance and always remark that a night at Il Gabbiano is WELL worth it!
An okay meal with disorganized service. Although a holiday and staff busy, one person's appetizer came out when everyone else had finished theirs. The entrees also did not come out together. Holiday menu was overpriced and portions small. My seafood dish was missing a component listed on the menu. One big plus, the chef did come out of the kitchen to clarify ingredients in the celiac, gluten free, order. Thank you for that.

Love Il Gabbiano’s! Service here is great and the food is high quality at a great price. One of the few restaurants where I trust the seafood to be fresh and well cooked. Great for private events as well.
