This is a great place to eat if u want great Italian food. A little pricy but they wont disappoint. My wife was craving Italian food and we decided to give this place a try since it wasnt too far and it had very good reviews. They do serve alcohol but only the usual beers, i didnt look at the wine menu. They had fresh oysters and it was a must for me. I ordered a half dozen and they were amazing. My wife got their lamb francese with a side of linguine pasta. It was very good, the veal was like a super flavorful country fried steak, i didnt try the pasta but my wife finished her entree. I ordered the house special duck over rice. It was good, the duck was cooked medium well (as requested) and was very tender. The rice was perfect....it had carrots and brussel spouts and topped with a couple orange slices. The orange slices were good and added a citrus sweetness to the duck. It was different....i wasnt really into the sweetness from the orange. I liked my wifes dish better. We ended with dessert, i got a cannoli and my wife got the dark cherry gelato. The cannoli was ok, the cream was gritty and wasnt smooth but the shell had a nice crispy crunch, i love cannolis and this wasnt that good cuz of the gritty filling. I personally wouldnt get it again. The black cherry gelato was great, i shlda got that or the other gelatos. Its a nice place, interior decor is very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place.

Simply perfect! This restaurant hits high marks in all critical areas, especially the food. There is amazing amount of attention to all details at Gabriella. From the moment you are greeted everything falls into place. Its beautifully and tastefully decorated. The hostess was smiling and friendly. Our server, Leo was very attentive and provided great service. We were here for lunch and I had shrimp frances which was excellent. My husband had gnocchi with marinara which he sad was very good. We have dined here before, so we were familiar with the dessert menu. I had the refreshing and delicious lemon ripenio and my husband opted for carrot cake which, by my standards is the best carrot cake out there. I can tell its either Italian or Swiss meringue with cream cheese frosting which truly elevate this cake. Dont miss out on excellent dining, make reservations and enjoy a great meal.

This place has fantastic food! The servers that we had (we had a lunch and dinner there) were very helpful and polite. We tried the Shrimp Francese (lightly battered shrimp in a lemony garlic sauce) and the Piatto de Mare (different types of seafood in a pasta dish). They were both delicious. The tiramisu is also good, even though it not homemade. The gnocchi and lasagna here at homemade. The one special, beef carpaccio over arugula, was absolutely gorgeous and delicious. I highly recommend checking this place out when youre in the Hershey or Harrisburg area.

Stopped on a whim, no reservations, while taking an out of town drive for something to do in mid-Feb! No tables available (Sat nite, 6:45) but they offered seats at the bar. The staff are a warm, friendly & happy group. Best of.all, the food was really, really good. My Italian companion is picky about Italian fare & he had NO complaints. I usually take part of my meals home but couldnt stop eating :-) Really glad we stopped & will be making our way back - as the actual destination next time!!

Had lunch and dinner here . The atmosphere is relaxed. The wait staff were all friendly and courteous. The food was excellent . I personally enjoyed and recommend the chicken marsala as well as the turkey panini My girlfriend loved the pasta. Lunch prices are very reasonable. I have found MY restaurant for AUTHENTIC Italian food! Thank you for an excellent dining experience. We will be back .

Had a great dinner here. Not cheap but fun for a special outing. Chicken francese is very good. My wife had the grilled shrimp asparagus, which was also very good, but the asparagus is in small 1" chopped pieces. Waiter was very helpful and recommended a nice white wine to go along with the chicken. Second time there, and Im sure there will be more.

Had a lunch date with coworkers fantastic time, food was wonderful, waitress was friendly and professional and helpful, well versed on the menu, it was busy I think she was the only waitress working, its a slow paced atmosphere so if you are in a hurry this is not where you need to be. Come only if you want to take time to enjoy your company and food

The restaurant itself is beautiful and the owners are very nice and polite and have many family values. The staff and guests are pleasant as well. However, the quote on quote manager is very unprofessional and is not manager material. She has no idea what she is doing! If you would like a job at this establishment...make sure she is not the manager.

The name of the restaurant first brought us in (my daughters name). We were impressed from the start. The personal feel, cozy & quaint environment had a family feel. The food is amazing with perfect portion sizes. We keep coming back time after time. Absolutely love this place. ❤

Friendly atmosphere. Place a carry out order on Saturday night. First visit; thought food would wow me. It was just okay. Although bread with seeds had a surprisingly good zing. Service was fast and courteous. Crowd was lively. Parking was tight. Cozy spot.

Not bad. The food was good, the service was great, nice atmosphere. Having come from Seattle though, I was a little spoiled when it comes to food taste. Nevertheless, I would recommend this place, for sure.

We went to eat here without a plan and got seated right away. I ordered a braised beef and my wife had eggplant, we enjoyed both our meals. The desserts Tiramisu and Creme Brulee were wonderful.

Ordered salmon but was served some cheaper subsitute fish. Complained. They were defensive but took it off bill. While I appreciate that they did not charge me, it remains a poor experience.

Veal Special bought on Friday was toughest and fattest veal ever tasted! 80% fat or waste. Manager offered a desert free but.no reduction in price. What is a special? Not worth the trip!

Chicken Marsala tasted OK but was not outstanding. Crowded room was hard to navigate for customers and wait staff. Noise level made conversation difficult for my elderly parents.

Very good veal here. Wine selection is thin. Good Italian reds, especially the Babara and Nera Davolo. Need better pinot noir to accompany excellent veal. Whites are just so-so.

Overpriced, reservation was unavailable at requested time, when wine was requested the waiter brought the most expensive stuff they had. Food is ok but not worth the price.
