We had an excellent evening at Gamberoni. Their new restaurant is much more spacious than the previous location on the west side of Yonge St and therefore more comfortable. The menu offered an excellent range of alternatives and was supplemented further by daily specials. the food was tasty, the portions were ample, and the service was excellent. highly recommend this restaurant!

I have frequented this restaurant on many occasions and I have never been disappointed. Quality of food is excellent. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating with any dietary restrictions. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

Unfortunately, we had a rather poor experience , although our waitress was friendly and helpful. The bread was stale, the salad consisted of a plate of lettuce, with two slices of cucumber and two small tomato wedges, with a tasteless dressing. My shrimp was overcooked and my husband's chicken parmigiana was a very small sized portion. This was very pricey for such a disappointing meal. We will not be returning.

Based on reviews, we were expecting a neighbourhood restaurant with good homemade local foods. These days we are trying to support family businesses . At the end of the evening, instead of feeling good , we felt resentful. Not good .When trying to address a simple egg food allergy, we were told that the bread, and the pasta were not made in house, and so they couldn’t verify the contents . So much for homemade family cooking. Fresh bread, Contents of which were unknown, looked like it came out of a grocery store .All they needed to do was look at the packaging.The misto salad , Supposedly enough for two came in a small bowl and look like it was a mix from a salad bag. The mozzarella on tomato, We’re also small pieces of mozzarella.The signature dish, Gamboni consisted of three overcooked shrimps. The veal Parmesan was uninspiring as was the pasta.Service was good, atmosphere Pleasant. Very much a disappointment for the $80 per person Tab (which included one drink, and a cappuccino.)Next time when I have an urge for Italian , I will visit No Frills.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Nice and friendly restaurant owner serving everyone during very busy time.
Gamberoni has long been a staple for North Toronto residents. This place is old-school Italian. That means large portions, heavy sauces, and friendly service. In comparison to other spots in the neighborhood, their portions are greater however, the food is not as refined.If you're looking for high-end Italian, this is not the place. However, if you want a nice night out, a big bowl of pasta or veal parmigiana and you don't want to be greeted at the door with the typical Toronto restaurant greeting, "We will need the table in two hours", then this place is worth a visit.

The server forgot our napkins and the kitchen forgot the salt. You can tell the food would be great if it had some salt.
Brought bread to the table that is stale and cold. And butter that was cold. Spreading cold butter on cold bread doesn’t work. Not sure why not served nice warm rolls or warm bread. The food was okay. I had gamberoni linguini. The linguine was dry and overcooked. The shrimp and scallops were cooked nicely. Overall Wouldn’t go back.
