Delicious food! Small restaurant in a plaza with great service and excellent food. Would definitely eat there again. Reasonable prices and a good size menu.

Bowtie Pasta with Ham, Peas in an Alfredo sauce.

We arrive during dinner time, are welcome by the pizza maker and find no other customers. That makes me wonder, why there are more employees/owners hanging around then customers? We grab our menus, with daily specials and pick our spot to sit. Waitress quickly approaches, meanwhile another customer enters. Maybe we are early, even though it is 6:30pm. It is nice that entrees include either a dinner salad or pasta. And prices are very reasonable. Except, we notice a lot of up charge opportunities. We order, get our wines and then the red flag begin. The owner wanders around, while his dog is roaming freely dragging a leash, dog proceeds to spot in front of the register on the customer side to scratch itself. This is all inside! Aren't these health violations? My salad had wilted colored lettuce, not exactly appealing. On the menu it says bowtie pasta with ham, peas and Alfredo sauce. After I order it, the server actually comes back to me and asked if I wanted the peas and ham in with the pasta and sauce? What? Yes, and what I got were chucks of ham, the kind used for a pizza, with peas and bowtie pasta in an Alfredo sauce tossed together quickly. The lack of taste was evident. My can sauce taste better. Meanwhile you eat, no one is doing anything but starring at you eat. Literally standing behind your table, just standing there. Kind of creepy. Two other groups of 4 entered. But all else was relatively quite, other than the Italian music on the speakers. A visit to the one bathroom used by all, indicates that no one ever cleans it either. Disgusting floor and dust on the one piece of furniture. Really if this is the customer area, what does the back look like? Owner is real concern with visiting your table with his dog to make sure you liked everything. Where could I begin? Said nothing, paid and ran out of there. Very disappointing. Made through the night with no illness, thankful. Overall would not recommend.

a plate of pasta and musselling

Our group ordered a Margherita pizza, spaghetti fruit di mare, lasagna, salad and other dishes. The food was very tasty and the service was good.

Don't miss this place!!!!! Am I in Brooklyn????? Omg.... COME HERE! Outdoor seating... and lovely indoors as well!!!

What a find! We decided to have dinner here & due to the wind, we sat at the bar to have dinner…read more Discovered that they have a fantastic HH every day! My house vodka martini was great & only $6! We shared ate almost entirely off the HH menu - bruschetta, caesar salad, bolognese, & the pasta with mushroom sauce. Pasta is homemade & you can get it off the HH menu! We even got a bread basket served to us! We indulged in profiteroles for dessert. The bartender was wonderful. The interior looks very nice. Outside they have plenty of tables. Would definitely go back to this place.

I came back for an actual meal…read more They start the meal off with bread and a marinara-olive oil (see previous review for similar thoughts). For an appetizer, the gnocchi alla Bolognese was ordered for the table. It was homemade potato gnocchi with a Bolognese sauce and whipped ricotta. This was very good. The homemade gnocchi was light and flavorful while there was plenty of meat in the sauce. The ricotta just added to it. For an entrée, I split the Cernia in Crosta, and a pappardelle special. The Cernia was fresh herb-crusted Gulf grouper with lobster scampi sauce, grilled asparagus and potatoes. The grouper was a very generous size. The fish was cooked ideally, and the herb-crust really was flavorful. I thought the actual grouper could have been seasoned more, but not a huge deal. The scampi sauce was good too. The pasta special was homemade pappardelle in a brandy cream sauce with five scallops present. This was a simple dish done right. The pappardelle was perfectly cooked while the brandy cream sauce was light, but flavorful. The scallops had a nice char on them with enough flavor. I also tried a sausage link, that was too salty. I also tried the spinaci e caprine salad. It contained baby spinach, crispy prosciutto, truffle honey, multiple pieces of fruit, candied walnuts, and goat cheese. This was well put together and even the truffle honey was not too overpowerful like I thought it might.

This is where you bring family. That includes your besties…read more Even when we have reservations I don't mind waiting. The food & service, are that good. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're surrounded by family. The bathroom is clean! Thank you to everyone at Cafe Gabbiano, Especially the Chef's, and the entire kitchen staff.

Wow wow wow. I haven't had Italian food like this in a long time. Café Gabbiano absolutely…read moredelivered. We didn't take any pictures (which should tell you how fast we dove in), but here's the breakdown: 3 lobster ravioli (including me) 1 truffle ravioli 1 clams and linguine 1 chicken parm And I'm not exaggerating when I say we didn't speak to each other until our plates were cleared. Total silence. Just pure focus. I'm not usually a truffle fan, but when I tried my wife's truffle ravioli, I immediately understood the hype. It wasn't incredible rich (helped me not feel like I needed to be wheeled out afterwards), balanced, and packed with flavor without being overpowering. I genuinely wanted to trade plates. My lobster ravioli was perfect. Not overly heavy, not drowning in sauce just loaded with flavor and cooked exactly right. I would highly recommend this dish to anyone going. The clams and linguine and the chicken parm both got rave reviews from the table too. No weak links anywhere. Our server was kind, attentive, and quick without rushing us. She made the experience even better and handled a busy night like a pro. Pro tip: Make a reservation. We booked on OpenTable and were seated right away on what looked like a packed night. Also, if you park next door like we did pay the meter. Trust me. We learned that lesson the hard way on this trip. If you're in Siesta Key and craving authentic, high-quality Italian, Café Gabbiano is a must. We'll definitely be back.
