I had a wonderful birthday dinner at Il Gabbiano and was able to snap a few pictures before it filled up with guests! This is a hidden gem, and a real favorite. The staff is super attentive, the food is outstanding, and the atmosphere is warm and friendly! BYOB too! I highly recommend!

We went to dinner there many times and had a great experience, but most recently we went for Mother’s Day weekend, which you know is crazy busy. They tended to our table and made sure we had water, bread, salad, etc. On time, and even catered to one of my “change of menu” requests perfectly. I was so satisfied I wanted to cry. They are truly a gem in the area. Btw I was craving vodka sauce and Veal, but it wasn’t on the menu so I asked if they could do it and they said ‘no problem’

I decided that this was the restaurant that I wanted to try for Mother’s Day. We made reservations the day before. Upon arrival we were seated in a timely manner. The service was friendly. Because it was Mothers Day, they had an abbreviated menu, I was somewhat disappointed, but made due. I didn’t drink or order an appetizer but we enjoyed a Caesar salad & bread. As for the main course, we both agreed our food was bland and lacked taste, due to inadequate seasoning. Although my son paid, I will say that the restaurant was reasonably priced, too bad I didn’t fully enjoy it.

Yum! We came for dinner for the first time and each ordered a pasta dish. Very yummy. I loved the chicken francese. My partner loved the rigatoni alla vodka. We were both very happy with this place. It seems the place is BYOB as well.

The food and service were excellent! My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and the staff added some special touches to make it special. Had the broiled Salmon and shrimp which melted in my mouth. Delicious.

My wife and I absolutely love this place, such a wholesome feeling place. The food is beyond good, but what keeps us coming back is the service. Edgar who was not our waiter today but has been in the past. Is so great it feels like an old friend greeting you! 5 stars all the way but please don’t crowd our date night spot!
