The dinner was delicious.

romantic Italian gem in Siesta Key. Fantastic wine list, homemade pasta. Osso buco ravioli is superb. Kris , manager, is eager to assist . A home run !

They have gone to the pits, was awesome but now don't bother, wast of your time and money.

Great service and Delicious food

The service and food was delicious! We came here for a bachelorette weekend, made an easy reservation on open table. We were seated immediately, ordered cocktails and calamari to start! The bread and oil that is complimentary is delicious. We ordered the salmon entrees, lobster linguini, and the clam linguini dish! They even threw in a special tiramisu for our bride and it was to die for!! The environment is cozy too! Our waiter was from Hungary and very attentive! One of the only restaurants on the island that takes reservations, something to think about if you have a big party!

Excellent food and service as always! I always look forward to going there when we are in the area.

I am shocked at the 4 star rating here?? Got the chicken parm thinking how bad could it be (one of the easiest Italian dishes) and it was not good at all…marinara sauce tasted like tomato paste and cutlet was blah. Homemade pasta may have been ok but smothered in that paste it wasn’t edible. I got the minestrone soup which was basically water with potatoes and vegetables ($18) and it was so bland, no flavor. My husband got the veal scallopine and said it was the worse he has ever had! They breaded the scallopine which we have never seen done in that dish? We haven’t had that bad of a meal in a long time. Being from New England I guess we are fortunate to have really good Italian food but I just don’t understand how this place is rated 4 stars. You are better off going down the street and getting a pizza, seriously, waste of money. I wanted to tell the server how bad it was but my husband said forget about it, we are on vacation and it isn’t her fault. I agree it’s not her fault but food was so bad I thought someone should know to tell the cook….but isn’t he tasting the food, lol. The caption of ‘bringing Italy to siesta key’ is far from reality. This is more on par with chef Boyardee!

This is my favorite birthday/anniversary place! The food is always fabulous! I love their bolognese sauce so had the Ossobuco Ravioli- delicious. My friend had eggplant parmigiana which was also wonderful. My husband had the red snapper special and my friend’s wife had the veal special- both were perfect. We all had a delicious red wine -montepulciano. We shared that we were celebrating my birthday and our anniversary. They brought a beautiful tray decorated with icing and full of samples from their dessert menu. The staff are always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend Cafe Gabbiano for any occasion!
