Gabriella Italian Restaurant

It was too loud to hear the server and carry conversation. My steak was good though. The gnocchi was too soft though.

Okay so I went with my husband today to celebrate his birthday and what can I say? His birthday dinner was ruined. He really wanted to try some italian food and we have been to many in this area but this one was not good at all. Our server was super slow and the food was outrageously expensive. The server forgot to give us complementary bread even though everyone around the table got it. At the end I asked for desert menu, she gave it to us but vanished. I saw her walking around but she came to out table after 15 to 20 minutes. By that time we were in no mood for desserts

*1/5 stars*

Disappointing experience at Gabriella Restaurant. A few issues that really took away from our dining experience:

- Overpriced Mocktail: The mocktail drink was more ice than actual drink, with ice cubes filling over half the glass. For a $10 drink, I expect more than a quarter of the glass to be filled with the actual beverage.

-Charged for Bread: We were charged $6 for bread, while other tables seemed to receive complimentary bread with their meals. When we asked about it, the waitress mentioned we had to ask for it specifically. Not clearly communicated, and it felt like a nickel-and-dime approach.

- Salad Charge: We were told the salad would come on the side with our meal, but were later charged an additional $4 for it. Another surprise charge that wasn't clearly communicated.

Given these issues, I wouldn't recommend Gabriella Restaurant to others. Maybe revisit their menu and pricing strategy to avoid surprising customers with extra charges.

this restaurant is a gem! Antonella and her family are so warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly and the food IS DELIZIOSO!! If this restaurant was at the North End in Boston, it would be one of the top ones! We'll definitely be back.

The Absolute Best Penne Vodka We've Ever Had!

This Italian restaurant is an absolute must-visit! The food was to die for, and I can honestly say the penne vodka was hands down the best either my mother or I have ever had in our lives—and we've had a lot.

It was so incredible that my mother, who was already thrilled with her excellent boscaiolo, actually traded her dish in for a plate of the penne vodka. It was just that good! The staff were so super kind and accommodating about the switch, and they didn't double-charge us. The desserts were also very, very good.

We will 100% be going back without question or hesitation if we are ever in the area again.

great food and service

Our second visit and still a gem. Wonderful fresh salads, an outstanding ragu sauce on homemade pasta special, and bread to die for. Lovely attentive service. Doesn’t look like much, and the neighborhood isn’t the best, but love the food. I’ve dined many times in Italy, so I have a real basis for comparison, and this place is really good.

Really great food and takeout experience. Stopped in town overnight and wanted to try some local cuisine - Gabriella hit the mark. Gluten-free penne vodka was delicious and the grilled sausage in marinara was outstanding. Ordering was easy and accommodating, and the food was hot and ready when we arrived. Great all around.

It had been several years since we've eaten here. Met friends for dinner which made the experience even better. Our waiter, Mario, said he worked there for 23 years and it showed. He was very knowledgable on the menu and had great timing, ensuring we had everything we needed for an enjoyable and delicious meal.
