Gamberoni

Outstanding Traditional Italian Fare

Welcome to Gamberonis, a restaurant that caters to your individual culinary desires.  Gamberonis features outstanding traditional Italian fare such as, pasta, seafood, fresh fish, veal and much more.  The beckoning aroma of garlic and the welcoming staff set the mood for a pleasurable dining experience.

 The Cooks have visited this authentic Italian restaurant on several occasions and return because of the outstanding food and service, every detail of which is overseen by the owners.  Mike and Nick, who opened this wonderful dining facility 19 years ago, can be seen interacting with the patrons to ensure every possible need has been met. 

The décor in the restaurant  boasts pictures of Italy creating an inviting, warm and friendly atmosphere.  One simply feels right at "home" while enjoying any of the menu choices offered.  The dining area is cozy, with an upper level for larger parties.

 On our most recent visit, our server was a gentleman by the name of Lorenzo, who is extremely well versed regarding the menu and most helpful with his suggestions while assisting us in our dining decisions.  He was most pleasant and attentive to our needs and his timing while serving our table was excellent. (There is even pasta named Lorenzo&?)

 During our recent visits to Gamberonis we have dined on different items from the menu, including Brushetta, Portobello Carpacio (a favourite), Smoked Salmon, Linguine Gamberoni (The restaurants biggest seller, consisting of Linguine with shrimp, scallops, garlic and olive oil.), Linguine Pescatore with shellfish in an excellent tomato sauce, Veal Medaglione  topped with a superb mushroom cream sauce along with a medley of vegetables. And oh yes, the daily special of fresh fish--we had the Sea Bass. 

All of these dishes were generously proportioned and simply AWESOME.

 Dinner for two with a bottle of wine is about $100.00 plus tip--excellent value for a superb product.
