Cafe Gabbiano was delightfully cozy, with wonderful cuisine and excellent service. The veal scallopini in the veal Momma Lucia was tender and delicious. Two of us shared a Caesar salad that was fresh and perfectly prepared. When the staff was informed that we had a time constraint, the expertly but comfortably accelerated our service, without rushing our meal. We will definitely return when dining in Sarasota.

Amazing Italian food! The pasta is all fresh made and sauces are fresh made as well. It is outstanding. It’s a very small place, so definitely plan on reservations and keep this in mind. Servers are very polite and quick. We will be back, it’s our new favorite in the area.

What most distinguished our experience was our waitress Alyssa, who outperformed. I’ve been a server in the best restaurants in Santa Fe and Boston and can say that she was excellent, thoughtful, and knowing. It was also nice that Kaitlen checked on us and made sure we were happy. Food was terrific and the wine deal for lunch is unbeatable. Also, Alyssa was perfectly charming.
