We had a meal for my nans 90th birthday here and we were massively impressed. We are an Italian family so we often don’t eat out at Italian restaurants as we find them disappointing, but NOT Locanda Gabriella! The food was amazing, all freshly made with excellent ingredients. The menu was flexible for people with dietary requirements and the staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating. Gabriella also made my nans birthday cake (which I had previously requested through her bakery) which was one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. We honestly can’t wait to go back there and couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you for a brilliant family meal! Grazie Grazie ?Vegetarian options: They were happy to try and make most of the dishes vegetarian friendly, the menu was very flexible with lots of choice!

Visited last night with family. Lovely setting, clean and classy. The menu was varied with many specials. The staff were superb and very attentive. The cost was very reasonable and I must say the food was simply outstanding.

We had lunch here and were treated to live music by a very talented female vocalist. Lovely food, good service and suitable for families. We had 2 very young children with us and even they enjoyed the music and nice atmosphere.

The food at Locanda Gabriella is honestly some of the best I've ever eaten, matching that with a warm friendly atmosphere and you've got yourself a wonderful place to eat.

From the resevation booking in to the Coffee it was perfect, they more than looked after my partners dietry restrictions and her food was as good or better than any on the table, unusual for Gluten free to be so tasty. The food quality was top notch with a wide variety of dishes and fantastic fresh ingredients all served by attentive friendly staff. The bill was very reasonable and we look forwards to our next visit and recomending friends to come along.Vegetarian options: Very good and very tasty

Thanks to the Restaurant only being opened part time and a next to hopeless Booking System it took me 3 weeks to organise a Meal . Welcomed in to the Premises and shown a Table the first thing I noticed is that owing to the colour contrast of the Menu and the evening shadow I found it very difficult to read . Another strange thing was the Starters were listed beneath the Mains . The Menu was very sparse to say the least whilst the Drinks menu by contrast was overwhelming . I think the latter is the Restaurant’s raison detre . For Drinks I had a Bottle of Pear Cider and my date a Glass of RedWine . For starters I went with Mushrooms and my other half Prawns . The Mushroom’s came with a Mushroom Sauce , Black Pepper and a few Crispy Bacon Shavings . Sadly they were completely bland urgently requiring some garlic though to be fair were perfectly cooked and presented .My main course was the Ragu and to my genuine upset I don’t think I have ever eaten a more tasteless dish , again nothing wrong with the food itself but just so tasteless to be completely unappetising . It’s no exaggeration to say Rab C Nesbitt could have knocked up better in his Glasgow Council Flat after a night on the lash . It was so abysmal I gave up after a few forkfuls . My partner’s Chicken Dish wasn’t any better and soon we called for the Bill and beat a disappointed exit .What do I conclude from all positive reviews of other Diners ? Clearly they have little experience of a genuine Italian Restaurant for this is a Cocktail Bar serving a very limited Menu on the side . On the face of it this is fine if the Food stands out but sadly here it doesn’t . It urgently requires flavour instead of blandness , they need to concentrate on the food rather than the endless variations of Cocktails but they won’t because this is where their margin is . To say I was disappointed is an understatement , we both had such high hopes and ended the evening completely deflated
Very nice meal indeed, only slightly let down by a couple of minor details which certainly won't stop me from returning very soon.

Some of the worst service I’ve had in a long time, we arrived at our booking at 8pm, we didn’t see food until 9:40! Not only did the food take over an hour and a half, not once did a waiter/waitress come over to us and explain the problem, apologise, offer us any drinks while we waited, or compensate in any way. The just proceeded as if nothing was wrong. Then to follow they sarcastically said “worth the wait?” and laughed. I can’t deny the food itself was good but that’s been overshadowed by the lack of care and responsibility taken. I won’t be in a rush to come back as it seems customer care isn’t a focus.

Nice place friendly service, menu was lacking in choices and found it slightly expensive for the portion sizes.Overall the food was tasty and enjoyed our cocktails.
