    We really like Gambi's seafarer / pirate atmosphere. We prefer being there when there is live music 🎶 🎵 to listen to as we visit and eat. However, the service was better when there are fewer people, so. . .that is the plus of no live music. We like the menu and have enjoyed the entre's that we have tried. Appetizers are very good, too. We could make a meal of the Appetizers! We enjoyed our meal and the Gambi's experience! Thanks 🌟

    The food and service was amazing. I personally loved the decor, but it’s not everyone’s taste. That said, the overall experience was fantastic. If you haven’t dined there, put it on your list.

    Gambi's feels very European. Loved the atmosphere. Prices were about average for an Italian Sports Bar. We liked the piano player and his wife's music. The food was pretty good, no complaints. We waited and waited and reminded twice about a glass of wine. It finally got to our table! I got my first drink in pretty decent time. The 2nd drink took a long time to receive. My thinking is that Gambi's needs more bar tenders, or at least faster ones and more servers. Otherwise, no complaints. It was a cute place and the food, and the food service was good!

    We were pleasantly surprised with the new Gambi’s location! The food was delicious and better than it was when they were in Somerset! The ambience was great with a player piano and it will definitely be one of our “go to’s” for an Italian meal and a bottle of red!

    This place was rocking! From the second I walked into the main entrance which I believe is right of the red lit gambis sign, the font of it was awesome by the way. The hostess greeted me and my group of friends and we felt so welcomed from the start, we told her we were starting at the bar for some drinks. Kyle made us fabulous drinks, I had a gin martini which was very good. After a while we got a table and everyone loved the food I had the steak special that night which was a flat iron steak with a red wine reduction sauce, risotto and asparagus.

    A friend made this recommendation so I gathered a couple of Foodie friends to give it a try. The location gives most people pause because this place has never had a typical restaurant. Well, Sparks can be proud they decided to make Sparks their new home. It is casual, but not a "sports bar" casual. The menu is extensive we all decided to try the Italian dinners. The Scampi was tender and flavorful, the Chicken Piccata was also tender and flavorful, and last but not least the Pasta Pescatore was equally as flavorful. Our only complaint was a dinner salad should be included and some toasted bread. Don't hesitate to give them a try, we will be back, Welcome to Sparks.

    Good place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Newly moved to this location so business is not booming yet, but it might not take long once the word gets out. Food was really good and at a reasonable price. Service was excellent. I highly recommend "Gambi's".
