Reviews for Gabbiano's in Portland, OR
Food and service was mid. As a person of color absolutely did not feel comfortable and was rushed despite being told that all... dishes would be coming out one at a time given the small kitchen. The focaccia was ok and the oil and vinegar provided were notseasoned. Standouts were the tomato sauce and the arugula salad. If you have to get Italian anywhere in Portland I wouldrecommend Luce?s. Staff was more welcoming and knowledgeable there. The dishes felt more Italian American than Italian and therewere only two pasta dishes on the menu. Although the branzino was advertised as a shared dish, the one we got for three peoplelooked like a single serving. Over all my group left underwhelmed. Read more
The lamb dish was SUPER good???? The pasta and the chicken dish was as expected. The dessert was panna cotta, good but for the... price it could be a tad better :) overall is good. The atmosphere is perfect for gatherings :) Read more
The ambiance is great and the service was really good and friendly. But overall the food was really underwhelming. Most of the... dishes lacked the bold flavors you'd expect from Italian-American and almost all of them were well under-seasoned. This rangesfrom the focaccia starter to the sauce or "gravy," the one thing you'd expect to be perfect. Again, it's cool and fun, but thefood just doesn't match the vibe. Read more
an amazing restaurant with a friendly staff, if you have a big group you could have a bit of a wait, amazing outside area that... is covered and heated, they make the mozzarella and all the pasta in house, the meatballs are absolutely amazing as well andgreat cocktails Read more
So where do I begin, my friends and I were very excited to try out this new hot spot in Portland. To start the restaurant opens... at 5 we arrived at 5:30pm and had a 2 hours wait time (who doesn't take reservations in 2022?). We finally received a table andas soon as we sat down our server breaks the news that they are out of their famous Mozzarella sticks Aka mozzarella shootersAKA the food item they are most famous for AKA the item in the menu we really wanted to try!!! How do you run out of your mostdesired menu item on a Saturday evening within 2 hrs of opening. Now I dont want to totally bad talk this place, the service wasgreat and ambiance was nice buttt what I came for I didn't get which was highly disappointing. Don't have high expectations whenyou decide to dine here. Read more
Great Italian bistro. Noisy inside but the food and drinks are great and the staff is both friendly and attentive. There is a... back patio for outdoor dining. Read more
This new restaurant was a great surprise. We decided to give it a shot tonight and it was the best decision we have made all... week. Service - There was never an awkward moment of waiting too long to order or waiting too long for food/drinks to arrive. All staff seemed super responsive. 5/5 Drinks - We ordered two cocktails, the Limoncella-Drop and the Seagull Sour. Bothtasted great and the bartender was also really good. 5/5 The Food - We tried the Girlfriend Pasta and the Chicken Parm. IHIGHLY recommend the Girlfriend Pasta. It was different and tasted great. We also had zero complaints with the Chicken Parm. Their Fried Mozzarella (see photo) was also very good along with the Caesar Salad. Zero complaints on anything. We are excitedto try some other choices next time we go. 5/5 Read more
Wow what a wonderful place! Great food, fantastic service! Ok so this place is awesome, all of the staff was super friendly and... on top of everything and everyone is the best of ways. The food was amazing, the warm olive plate was shocking as I have neverhad warm olives like that! The table next to us had the fried mozzarella and wow wow wow did it look good! The sweet pea alfredowas delicious and beautiful, the chicken parm was huge and delicious aswell! One thing that I really liked was that none of theplates matched, they were all beautiful plates and all unique (no I am not talking about the food I mean the actual dishes thefood is served on lol) It was a fun to see and made things even more special.
