7/27/35- Sunday @1:30pm- If I could give 10 Stars I would! Outstanding service, food and atmosphere! Definitely exceeded my every expectation!
A very busy Sunday at the Aventura Mall’I knew enough to make a reservation for inside. The atmosphere is beautiful, casual and comfortable. Greeted warmly by the Host I was seated inside at a perfect location for me. Then it began! Great Service ! Extremely attentive, knowledgeable and friendly service from Oscar G. . The entire Team was amazing with exceptional service! I ordered the most delicious Pinot Grigio with an appetizer of Focaccia.. oil and balsamic vinegar was brought to the table. Their olive oil is so delicious…very high quality. After reviewing their menu online for weeks in anticipation of my visit, I decided on the CRISPY POLENTA Served on a bed of Cacio and Pepper cream, Truffle oil, fresh grated parmesan cheese, chives! I started eating the Focaccia, pillowy buttery soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. A touch of Rosemary, course salt and olive oil. It definitely was the most delicious Focaccia I’ve ever had! My Pinot Grigio was iced cold and balanced by the pillowy Focaccia. Then came my entree the absolute masterpiece! I love Polenta I’ve never had it prepared this way and will never be satisfied with any other! The presentation was Michelin Star Quality! Then came the true taste test! Absolutely piping hot and delicious. The CRISPY POLENTA Served on a bed of Cacio and Pepper cream, Truffle oil, rosemary and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Truly things that dreams of.. The gracious manager, Giuseppe, greeted every table ensuring the service and the food exceeded expectations. And of course it delivered! He is charming and sincere!! For dessert I was offered their home made tiramisu. Creamy, light, delicate but full of flavor! What can i say but the entire experience was Magical! Yes, there are so many great restaurants at Aventura but Gaby should be your priority! I...
Read moreWe live in the city of Aventura and we go to the mall all the time on the weekends and this time we decided to go to this restaurant thinking it would be a good occasion for a nice afternoon. Once we decided to go in, they offered us the menu and at the same time my wife ordered two passion fruit drinks. When we started looking at the menu we noticed that the prices were exorbitantly expensive and we wondered if the place is nice we imagine the food must be good too. To make a long story short I just want to say once you place your order they don't bring you anything, they don't give you absolutely nothing, not even a piece of bread with olive oil, practically nothing. About 15 minutes later our food arrived and once again they didn't even offer us any parmesan cheese to put on top of the pasta, practically absolutely nothing. Another thing that is very important to us when spending money in a restaurant, the waitress never came and didn't even ask how everything was, if I wanted another passion fruit drink, my experience at this place was really horrible. This was really my first time and the last. In the end we paid almost $140.00 for two pastas and two passion fruit cocktails that I'm sure I would have cooked with better flavor. To finish, the waitress, who never had the decency to even ask how everything was, simply charged 20% for a service that didn't even deserve I just smiled it was not worth complaining since I knew I would never go back there... Do not go to this restaurant. There is an other Italian restaurant next to Cheese Cake Factory on the 1st floor, right now I don't remember the name but we were there several times and the price is about the same but service and food are...
Read moreFrom the moment I stepped into Gaby by Gaby at Aventura Mall, I knew I was in for a truly exceptional dining experience. The ambiance is effortlessly elegant yet warmly inviting, with a vibe that instantly lifts your spirits and makes you feel right at home.
Let’s talk about the food — absolutely exquisite. The house wine was a perfect start, beautifully balanced and a delight to sip alongside every course. The lamb meatballs were juicy and flavorful, bursting with savory goodness that kept me coming back for more. The veal parmigiana? Simply divine — tender, rich, and perfectly seasoned, a true comfort dish elevated to perfection.
The salmon arrived cooked just right — flaky and moist, with flavors that danced on my palate. The watermelon salad was a refreshing contrast, crisp and vibrant, adding a delightful burst of freshness that balanced the meal wonderfully.
Special shoutout to Chef Andrea, whose culinary mastery was evident not only in every bite but also in the warm, heartfelt greeting upon our arrival. It’s rare to feel such genuine warmth combined with top-tier cuisine.
Our waitress was exceptional — attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being intrusive. She enhanced the entire experience with her gracious service and impeccable timing.
This is a place to visit without hesitation or thinking twice. It’s a win-win, no doubt — highly...
