08/11/2025: We had a wonderful dinner at Il Gabriello years ago and always wanted to return. I finally visited again a couple of days ago and had another amazing meal. The quality of both the food and the service is truly top-notch. I was delighted to see the same family still running the restaurant — the father, mother, and daughter are all incredibly kind and welcoming.
The food is Michelin-quality in both taste and presentation; you can genuinely feel their passion for what they do. I ordered the salted cod as an appetizer, black spaghetti with seafood for my first course, and grilled calamari for the second course — every dish was absolutely delicious.
I’ll definitely be coming back to Il Gabriello whenever I’m in Rome!
06/11/2025: My parents and I chose Il Gabriello for dinner during our week in Rome as it had good reviews, a convenient location, and my father is a fan of excellent seafood. We had no idea we were about to have one of the best meals of our lives.
We had the tuna tartare, the shrimp with potato, tomato and onion, the langoustine pasta and one of the specials, a gorgeous, delicate dish of blue lobster, burrata and peach. My father asked the sommelier to choose a white wine for us and he chose the most beautiful sweet and fragrant wine (I know nothing about wine so I have no idea what it was, but we all loved it). Every dish was delicious, prepared perfectly, with clear love and care in each bite. The ingredients were incredible quality. I wish I’d thought to take photos of the food but we were too busy enjoying it!
The restaurant is family-run; we were served by mother and daughter, while the father ran the kitchen, and a cousin was also on the floor. No wonder the atmosphere was so warm, lovely and inviting. The service was just so perfect. The dining room was completely full and it seemed as though everyone else was enjoying their meal as much as we were!
Honestly, this place is a crown jewel of the Centro area. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful meal in Rome. We will absolutely be back!
