Reviews for IL GABBIANO in New Haven, CT
it’s crazy because I only READ horrible reviews. We had a reservation and when we got there they were awesome…as soon as we... sat down we were given the bread oil and olives and water and within literally two minutes we had a waitress. She was one of thebest waitresses ever…food didn’t take long, plates were HUGE Like insanely huge…! wasn’t expecting that. pricesweren’t low but the quality was 10/10 and worth every dollar and more. We were given complimentary champagne…and desert wasamazing too. To me it’s a 10/10 Read more
Place was beautiful and the food was amazing. Brand new inside, but we ate outside because it was right on the water and pretty... nice out. Everyone loved the food and mine was honestly the best chicken parm I’ve ever had. Read more

Dined here with a group of 7. We had a 630pm reservation and were able to sit immediately but took advantage of their large bar... for a pre-dinner drink. Benny was the bartender and he was friendly and made an excellent drink. For dinner, the steaks wereamazing. We had the rib eye, tomahawk, porterhouse and shared them. They were cooked perfectly. Appetizers were shared andawesome as well. We tried some deserts too. Key Lime pie was light and flavorful. Tyler was our waiter and he was extremelyattentive. It\'s a bit noisy in there, hopefully they do something about the acoustics - that\'s my only gripe. I\'ll be backfor sure, the outside patio looks like it will be perfect for the summer. Read more
It\'s a new restaurant with some teething issues. The service at our table was extremely slow. We got more attention from the... bus boy and runner. Asked for the check twice. We finally got it to our table 30 minutes after asking...I had to run the card upmyself to the server station after 10 minutes. Not sure what that was about. The other areas seemed to be running well, but itwasn\'t even very busy as we showed up at 3:30pm to a near empty restaurant.\n\nThe food was ok. The calamari was cooked well.We had a risotto that was Mushy AND soupy...for the nearly $40 it cost we were glad that they took it away and gave us acomp.\n\nThe restaurant itself has been nicely renovated from the previous place that was here. Looks gorgeous and great for thearea if successful. The exterior just needs some weeding and landscaping and it should be awesome.\n\nWish them good luck andhope to have a better experience next time! Read more
