We ate at Gabriella's 3 times while on vacation. It's a great price for outstanding food and a great staff.

This place is the hit of the island. We had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. The appetizer of toasted ravioli was very good and the pizza was even better. Kim J waited on us and was very friendly. She was training a young guy, who was very attentive. This is definately the place to go... More

A return to SPI is never complete without Gabriella's. The menu is extensive, has something for everyone, and everything is deliciously prepared. Special requests are never a problem. The Spaghetti Festival, pizzas, and calzones are exceptional. Over many years my family and I have NEVER been disappointed by anything we've ordered. This restaurant is MUST VISIT if you enjoy good... More

My wife and me shared a pizza margaritha as an appetizer followed by fettuchini al tonno (my wife) and lasagne (me). Pizza was nearly the best I ever had in USA: a good mozzarella (a little bit too much cheese in my opinion), fresh tomato and fresh basil(!). Dough was crispy (a little bit too thick comparing with original pizza... More

My boyfriend and I went to eat at Gabriella's for Valentine's Day. It was a romantic evening out and we enjoyed the food. The macaroni and cheese was delicious. I am a fanatic for macaroni and cheese. It can get pricey if you are on a strict budget. The bartender staff was friendly and great. We had a great time.

A short walk from the Royale Tennis Club and the food was a step above. The service was great and I can not think of a single thing to complain about other than the fact that we only ate there once. Food portions are amazing and the prices are very good.

We took our family of 5 (with teens) to this restaurant for dinner. The reviews seemed to say this would be a guaranteed hit, but I'm not sure how that's possible. The food is so overdone and Americanized. The amount of cheese on some dishes could choke a bull. The calamari was overbreaded, overfried and tough. The marinara had a... More

I am not a big fan of Italian Food. But I really enjoy my Chicken and Mushroom Marsala was excellent. Bruschetta and Crispy Mushrooms were nice for starters. We were about 15 people and everybody was happy with their food. All in all very satisfying experience.

I ordered delivery to my hotel room and it arrived about 30 minutes later (not bad for a Friday evening). The young delivery person was dressed in a white button down shirt and tie and was so professional and respectful. That was a great start. I ordered the lasagna, crispy fried asparagus, and cheesecake. I wanted the wedding cake, which... More
