Finally stopped in to try this place after years of seeing it. The atmosphere was great. It was very romantic. The service was awesome and very attentive. The food was in good portions and very good. Parking was free and in a big parking lot. Kid friendly as well. It wasn’t the best food but it was a nicer experience than the regular places around. We will be coming back here for some pizza next time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Experience!
Tried Gabriella’s Italian Grill & Pizzeria tonight and everything was on point. The food was great, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and fast. The pizza was amazing — full of flavor, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Definitely a spot I’d come back to! Highly recommend

Alejandro (Alex) gave us tremendous service, he was so polite and took great care of us. We loved the complimentary bread and balsamic dip. The margarita was great, pizza was cooked wonderfully. We had asked for peppers on the pizza that were forgotten but no big deal, they lowkey tasted better raw on the side. Thank you so much! Would love to visit again.

Walking in the door is like traveling time to an Italian restaurant you loved in your mind but thought no longer exists. Friendly, classical service. Great for a casual lunch or nice date. Huge beverage selection, many taps, unique choices. A fresh sliced focaccia bread with the classic olive oil, balsamic, garlic, and pepper oil plate was a welcome memory from the past! This is how you do it. House salad with green olives and peppers was a nice touch, perfect. Quality in every sliced veggie. My wife said the Caesar was very good as well. We split a Spaghetti Festival plate and a Pizza Margherita. The spaghetti dish was excellent, def going to crave this again. Not the usual red sauce style, far more delicate creation, with perfect amount of chicken, Italian sausage, pepperoni, peppers, black olives, etc. just amazing. Not an expert on noodles but those were homemade or expertly prepared. The pizza was excellent as well. A bit heavy on the cheese, if you like that, but otherwise perfect. We did make a mistake getting the cheese stuffed crust option which put it over the top on the filling side. We had a good bit of both to take home. This is not your cheapest option, but good places never are. Highly recommended.

We went to Gabriella’s and wow, the vibe was absolutely immaculate. It’s one of those places that just feels good the moment you walk in. We ordered the pizza and added basil, and it came shredded, which was perfect because every single bite had that fresh basil flavor. The pizza itself was amazing, crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The service was great too, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of my new favorite pizza spots!
