Gamberini Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. The staff's attention to detail is remarkable—they truly go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels special. The service was nothing short of amazing. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly friendly, making great recommendations and ensuring that our experience was top-notch from start to finish. The timing of the courses was perfect, and we never felt rushed, allowing us to fully enjoy each dish and the ambiance of the restaurant. The food itself was outstanding, but the service elevated the entire experience to another level. It's rare to find a place where the service matches the quality of the cuisine so perfectly. I highly recommend Gamberini Restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience with service that truly stands out. We can't wait to return!

You have to get to the cash register first to initiate an order (I think) as of opposed to standing in front of the pastry you want in order to be served. Rice cake 4/5 is adequate, a little less moist than bologna version with a crunchier top, fragrant enough with the candied citrus peel and crunch from nuts. Pistachio croissant 3/5 Pistachio cream is much less sweet than a la grande cafe, croissant was normal, not crunchy. Pistachio sandwich cookie 2/5 Nothing to write home about, texture is average. Service Friendly enough! Can pay with card here, Amex/Apple Pay accepted Overall I’d come back if I’m passing by for the rice cake :)

We walked by the Pasticceria Gamberini to grab some pastries before realizing they also owned the restaurant space next door and you can enter the restaurant from the Pasticceria as well. We came back later today to enjoy a wonderful dinner of Veal Tornato and Truffle Pasta served by the lovely and amazing Enza. She made us feel like we were old friends and served us graciously throughout our wonderful meal. At the end of the meal she surprised us with some Grappa and a little dessert from the pasticceria as an ending to a lovely Sunday evening meal. This place is worth a trip for both an amazing dinner as well as just some lovely pastries or a sandwich for a quick to go meal. The prices are more than fair for the quality of food you get.

One of favorite places, very upscale feeling. Food and drinks very good. The cafe was packed and still had fast service. Bagel salmon the best... Juices and coffee excellent. Custard pancakes yum... I like sitting outside, it's a bit crowded in the cafe at times...we will be back.
