Gambi's Restaurant — Restaurant in Reno

Please order here and read the entire review. My husband and I ordered Gambi’s for the first time over a year ago via Uber eats. The driver dropped our meal in the drive way and then delivered to our door, so there was dirt in our food and a mess to clean up. We couldn’t eat it and after that and because we we just had a major family death, we were very upset and worn out. Anyways, we called the restaurant and they were so kind. They offered to reimburse but we never claimed it due to the family death.

Here’s the good news: We decided to order again last week and have ordered twice this week via Uber eats because it was sooo good. The ingredients are so fresh and tasty and the temperature of everything was spectacular. We always expect our food to be a little off when we order through Uber eats i.e. salad might be a little warm or wilted by the time we receive it, food might be cold, and or verging on gelatinous.THIS WAS NOT THE CASE! The Caesar salad was fresh and they even gave us enough dressing. Most places don’t. The shrimp scampi was light and delicious. The chicken Marsala was hearty and beautifully paired with the mushroom appetizer we ordered. We also order one flourless chocolate cake, which was to “die for.” Over all the price to freshness to proportions was spot on. We definitely will be going here again. I’d imagine it would be even better in person and not just through Uber eats, but the fact it was that good after delivery wait times was thrilling. Thank you for knowing how to prepare Italian...

Let me start by saying that the food is a 5-star experience. It tasted delicious and was presented well. It is pricey. Our two person dinner with an appetizer and two entrees (No drinks) cost $70 not including the tip. We ordered the calimari, salmon and penne vodka which were all delicious. The establishment is clean and has a good evening theme perfect for a dinner date and I wouldn't hesitate to spend the money again on a special occasion.

What brings my rating down from 5 for the food is the service. Only one man staffed both the bar and every table which lengthened our stay while he ran around doing all of his duties. I have nothing against the employees there but it is very clear they are understaffed and need more hands on deck. It is also not clear where the entrance is. There is two, but only one leads to the front desk while the other will have you walking through the restaurant and other patrons to get to the true front entrance. I hope the next time I go there will be more staff and I can give it the 5 stars...

1st time going to this place. 2 people. One ordered a drink for one, salad & main course for 2 people. Bill $120+ not including tip. I wouldn't have given nothing. My husband is kind. Very nice waiter. Placed our order and said bread would be out shortly. Salads came. Had 3 bites and then came main course. Still no bread. I had a wonderful marinated skirt steak but was the size for a 5 year old. Mashed potates which were luke-warm and questionable, delicious asparagras. My husbands dish, fish, smallest portion I have ever seen served. Then came the bill. Oh, "The bread is ready, would you like it". Maybe because is was a Sunday night?? Hardly any people. And like I said, had never been...
