Cafe Gabbiano

Great tasting genuine Italian food. Variety of wines available. We made a reservation and that seemed to be a good idea. We sat outside and it was very warm that night. They did have fans going outside to try to help curb the heat. Within a few blocks from the beach and multiple little shops.

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to so far!! Ambience was amazing. Food was delicious. Truffle cheese ravioli was delicious & flavorsome. Burrata was one of best I’ve had so far!! Crème Brûlée was light and yum.
If you are in Siesta key village and want fine dining experience for date night - I highly recommend this restaurant..

Stopped in for dinner during our trip to Siesta Key. Food was good and service was friendly and quick. The portions were filling and left us with no room for dessert. Great selection of wines either by the bottle or glass.

This is a super awesome fine dining Italian Styled Cafe right off Ocean Blvd on the Island. This place is over the top amazing! Everything they served us was not only delicious beyond compare but a culinary work of art. The ambience of this place is incredible with all the pine wood paneling and wine racks. Wine Cask tops and fine bottle art we loved everything about this little Cafe. All the staff where incredible so happy, friendly and inviting. Our waiter Mikey, was super experienced and knowledgeable about all facets of the menu, he could describe each and every dish they serve far better then the menus description. If your not sure what you want just tell him what you prefer flavor wise and what wine flavors you like and he can find the perfect meal and wine to compliment it for you. They have a awesome selection of incredible house wines that are very delicious and I strongly suggest going with one that pairs well with you entree. Peter was the co-owner and personally inquired with each and every guest if their dining experience was up to expectations, I could unconditionally assure him that we lacked for nothing. Everything exceeded our imagination and we will be frequent customers now that we have sampled their amazing cuisine. I'm giving them a top 3 best rating. Utterly delicious. Kudos! One spacific delicacy I would suggest the Poached Pear Salad, The Gnocchi, and the House Special Mamma Luci Veal, paired with thier House Special Chianti. The Tiramisu we had for dessert was the crowning jewl of the evening. Peter also provided a complimentary glass of their in house made Lemon Cello as a final dessert Liqour for the evening.

Had a great Christmas dinner. Very yummy.
Didn't get pictures of our dinners because we started eating them. Lol. They were both great. This pear salad is phenomenal. I will be back.
