Walked in and waited over 5 minutes to get seated. They were busy but but walked me three times before I was acknowledged. Was seated and asked if I’d have time to get my food as I had a meeting. Ordered a pizza and soup. Soup came and it was good. Ten minutes before my meeting someone comes up to me to tell me they screwed up my pizza and if I wanted to wait and get it to go. Paid for my soup and walked out. Would have loved to try the pizza and maybe give a higher food rating. And would have spent more money if I had gotten my pizza

Our area needs more small businesses and especially restaurants! We wandered into Gambino's one day, and we've probably been back a half a dozen times now! It's a super cute and cozy environment, food is amazing, and service is always great! Definitely recommend trying it out, you won't be disappointed!

Well how cute is this joint?! You’d never know it’s there tucked away in the strip mall. We happened to go on their one year anniversary celebration and didn’t have reservations. Well, all the tables were full we were able to wait a bit and snag a table. There was live music which did help the atmosphere that night. The place was a buzz with neighborhood regulars!Even nicer are the family that owns it, and no, I didn’t know them until we went to try this place. They are hilarious, sweet and salt of the earth types.We ordered wine (duh) and the white lemon cream penne and added the fresh pesto as well as the lasagne which was yummy!! But let’s talk about the freaking garlic bread?! Not sure how that wasn’t an option for what to recommend?!?The video poker section detracts a little bit from the atmosphere but it’s a place for all people! More importantly, it’s not a place for kids which is great! I have 3 and I’m glad to have a place for some peace!If I got the penne again, I would get it without chicken. So there you go Google, that’s your vegetarian recommendation!I will be back to this place over and over and hope they do live music more than just for the anniversary night!

Can't say anything but amazing things about this place. The food and staff were both amazing. You must try the fried ravioli!! We also had a pasta and pizza which were amazing. They were even able to customize everything for us and made recommendations! Vegetarian friendly as well. Check them out!Vegetarian options: You can customize pretty much anything on the menu. We did the penne pasta but took out the meatballs and changed to the sauce!

Came here on a whim while in the area, absolutely no regrets. Great food, great service, great vibes, excellent background music, overall a wonderful experience. Giant ravioli was crunchy and delicious, spaghetti was fire, cannelloni *chefs kiss*, and the bread? Unmatched. Definitely found a new favorite spot. Elina is a gift to this earth.

Wonderful food. Great service. Nice little neighborhood place. Four of us are and everyone loves their entrees and salads. We shared the deconstructed cannoli for desert. We will be back.

Food for my dinner(penned pasta w/meat balls) was a bit salty for my taste. Service was not that good. Forgot our water. I know poker video games make quite a bit of money for an establishment, but when it takes up half of your seating and does not allow children into your establishment, you may want to rethink this. To me, a bad setup.Kid-friendliness: Children not allowed due to having poker machines. ? ?

The restaurant was small but had a nice ambiance. The food was good. The salad was too heavy on the dressing. My pork medallions were good, although the baked potato had a bit too much sour cream on it, so I would suggest asking for it on the side. My husband said his chicken parm was very good. Service was great and our server was very friendly.
