Caffe Gazelle — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

Cafe Gazelle – A True Italian Gem! Wow — what a fantastic experience at Cafe Gazelle! This place is a cozy, romantic little spot that feels like you're dining in a small village in Italy. Perfect for a date night or just a special evening out. We started with the bruschetta and artichokes, and both were fresh, flavorful, and a great way to kick things off. For our mains, we shared the Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Piccata, and the Carbonara Pasta — everything was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of classic Italian flavor. You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. And don’t skip dessert — the Limoncello Cake was light, lemony, and the perfect ending. What really made the night was the service. Our server was amazing — super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. And the two owners were actually present the entire time, helping take orders and personally presenting dishes. You don’t see that kind of care and involvement very often, and it made the experience feel even more personal. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and atmosphere. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit. Highly recommend — this place is a must-try if you love real Italian food with...

This is one of our favorite restaurants and a regular go to. We probably go at least once and sometimes twice a week. They make you feel like home at this very special restaurant. It is a hidden gem with a nice & quiet ambience. My husband loves the pasta dishes although I am not a pasta eater. They have so many delicious items like Seabass piccata, The salmon, fruity D’ Mare but I have them put it over chopped broccoli instead of pasta, very tender calamari steak that is the best I’ve had anywhere, the shrimp appetizer is amazing and so are the chicken meatballs. The chicken gorganzola & Normandy are favorites also. It is quite a varied menu and there’s something for everyone. Also the bread is some of the best anywhere and they bring out hot when you arrive like all good...

This was probably some of the absolute best Italian food I have ever had, and in my opinion Italian food can often taste the same. Not Cafe Gazelle, their food had amazing flavors we had their shrimp and calamari as appetizers, not fried and extremely fresh. Even the bread comes fresh out of the oven, and goes great with excellent Italian food. I ordered the Michaelangelo which is an Alfredo dish with mushrooms and they fulfilled my request to make it with vegetables. The owner was very attentive and provided incredible food...
