Food was great as always. Gnocchi, veal scaloppini, and chicken parm excellent Our sever, Celina, was attentive and friendly. Only negative was the outdoor seating arrangement. Weather was beautiful so reserved an outdoor table, but upon arrival, but no standard height tables were available, so we were seated at a high top. The rigid wicker stool and poor footrest location made it very uncomfortable sitting through a full meal. Recommend restaurant invest in better seating if they continue with the high top table.

The worst service, and food is NOT worth the money. We were sat outside and our waiter barely checked on us and kept apologizing for being busy as the bartender. We asked for an ice bucket for our wine, which arrived warm, and it came 20 minutes later. We ordered fish specials which were nothing spectacular and they ended up being $50 & $60 each for grouper and swordfish. Everywhere we’ve been in the area has had grouper on the menu and NO ONE was that expensive. My toddler has been eating grouper nuggets at local restaurants in the area that have tasted better than what we were served. This is a fraud restaurant trying to pose as quality Italian. Will not be back.

Have been to Cafe Gabbiano three times before with excellent results. The food this time was just average. Veal parmigiana was tough and lukewarm as was the rigatoni that accompanied it. In the end, I should have stayed with basic pasta.

Top notch experience as always. Ambiance rating is because we were seated inside and not on the covered porch, as requested. Thank you!
