I've been to a lot of restaurants, but the service here is hands down the best I've ever had. The waiters go above and beyond to make sure you're taken care of, and it doesn't go unnoticed. From the moment I sat down, they were on top of everything. They even pull out your chair for you and ensure your drink is always filled before you even have to think about it. What really stood out to me was how attentive and considerate the staff were. They were constantly checking in, making sure everything was perfect, but never in an intrusive way. The level of service made the whole experience feel so special and effortless. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so well taken care of at a restaurant. If you're looking for a place where the service makes the meal even better, this is the spot.

I remember some incredible meals here soon after they opened, and for a few years afterwards, but hadn't been here in quite a while. I wondered if it would still be excellent. Nothing to worry about, this place is still one of the top spots in Miami. As many report, the view is amazing... but what makes this place really great is the food and especially the service. This is a professionally run spot that gets high marks on every aspect of the dining experience. The complimentary cheese, tomato, balsamic starter is a welcome start... a gesture from the house that builds a bond that will continue throughout the evening. It's so fresh, perfect balance. We shared Tartufo Ravioli, Cannelloni, and Shrimp Scampi Originati to start... all perfect, served nice and hot. Entrees included Scaloppine Capriccio (Veal sauté in wine, prosciutto and mozzarella), Scallops with Risotto Primavera, and Costoletta alla Parmigiana (Veal chop with tomato sauce and mozzarella), enjoyed by all. For dessert we shared the Chocolate Soufflé, served with Gelato... amazing. The chocolate is very rich... its sort of a dense soufflé, not airy. Highly recommend it. Wines by the glass worked well, we concentrated on Italian whites and reds. Service was great, led by our team of Larry and Eric, complimented by others. Manager, Juan Perez, kept a watchful eye on the room to make sure all was in order, stopping by our table to check with us. A great meal, a great evening. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Oh my deliciousness. I haven't had pure Italian food since I last went to Italy. The ambiance the service and everything was impeccable. The meal started with a delicious array of freshly baked bread and the most flavorful tomatoes and fresh Parmesan. The escargot had mushrooms underneath and tons of garlic (which is my absolute favorite). The pastas were the main treat. They were so so rich with flavor. My favorite was the linguine al vongole (clams). Finally the desserts adequately satiated my sweet tooth. I couldn't help but devour the chocolate soufflé with ice cream. The waiters were very attentive and made sure our wine and water glasses were never empty. They were super kind and helpful in making our ordering decisions.

Wow wow wow!! This place was amazing! I have been here before but they have definitely up their game! They have outside and indoor sitting and the inside was beautifully lit and the staff was really nice. They answered all the questions we had and help us choose some amazing items. For posters we got the oysters and the escargot! I would eat the escargot everyday if I could it was amazing it can stuffed in a mini mushroom! The pastas were all to die for. I had the lobster ravioli and it was sooo super delicious. It came stuff with a lot of lobster and sauce was delicious! The lamb was a good potion and was perfectly cooked! It came with a crust and it perfect combination. The mushroom ravioli was also amazing and came stuffed perfectly! And the desserts were amazing amazing amazing!! We got the chocolate lava cake, the crème burlee, and the tiramisu and it was all amazing. I would definitely order the whole menu if I could again. Also, we got two bottles of brunello wine and it was delicious!

The view definitely steals the show at Il Gabbiano (@ilgabbianorestaurant), but the food and service are top-notch! As soon as you are seated, they serve you some caprese with a side of balsamic glaze and a bread basket. We started with the Calamari Fritti, which was the perfect level of lightly breaded and came with a fresh homemade tomato sauce. It's one of the best I've tried, for sure. The Chicken Milanese and Snapper entrées had excellent flavor, as well. This is definitely one to add to the list!

Beautiful people and a spectacular view is what's being served with delicious authentic Italian cuisine here at Il Gabbiano. Service is extremely good. The waiter was super helpful, explaining the menu items to us, one by one. Starts with a complimentary bread basket and a small plate of very tasty bruschetta, cheese and balsamic vinegar to dip it in. We ordered the shrimp scampi originato appetizer, and that sauce was so good, we wanted to lick the plate. I had half portions of the pasta special (that included truffles) and the cannelloni, which tasted so yummy, like an Italian grandmother had cooked it. I ordered my favorite martinis, as they don't have a cocktail menu and can make you anything you like. They do have a very extensive wine list. Pro tip: ask for half portions of the pastas, so you can try more than one and it will cost half the price! ...and don't be embarrassed to ask the price of any of the specials being offered. They are pricey.
