Gabriella's Italian Steakhouse - Red Bank, New Jersey

The food was great! The service was excellent, too.

Ordered the cowboy medium with horny truffle butter, and it was perfection. Garlic bread was also a highlight - fresh garlic chunks with a good amount of butter. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Ordered a bunch of sides to split (creamed spinach, mushroom, & truffle mac) and the portion sizes were reasonable.

Delightful ambiance. I would definitely return.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Gabriella’s. Everything was exceptional. (Though, I do wish the booth tables were a bit more spaced out, I understand the challenge of accommodating as many guests as possible.) Our waiter, Michael, was fantastic—truly the best we could have asked for. From his spot-on recommendations to his attentive service, he made the experience even better. When I was uncertain about ordering a dish, he kindly checked in to make sure I was satisfied, offering to swap it out if needed. His warmth and attentiveness were remarkable and I truly feel a waiter can make or break your expierence. Even the man who brought, cleaned up our plates, and cut my cake was so kind. Every dish was cooked to perfection, and honestly, I’d dine here every day if I could! I tried the specialty drink, Screw-loose - already wishing for another. I will never stop recommending Gabriella’s. A friend of mine was unsure where to make a family dinner reservation for next week, so after sharing pictures of our meal and telling her about our amazing experience, she’s now set to dine with you for the first time. I’m confident she won’t be disappointed. Thank you again for such a memorable experience—we can’t wait to return!

Everything was absolutely delicious. My first time there and honestly no complaints. The waitstaff were terrific as well.
Just one suggestion please add the chicken Marsala as a regular menu item or maybe a roasted chicken. I don’t eat steak or seafood, but my friends and family do. Often steakhouses are their preference for special occasions, so I usually just fill up on sides. I was very happy when I saw the Marsala as an option as I try to avoid red sauce due to a recent diet restriction.

I understand why this place gets busy. I came here for my company holiday party and it definitely did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious. I wish I had photos of the beautiful steak but I promise it was tasty and tender. Salad was fresh, and the garlic bread was unbelievable, as well as the truffle on crispy bread! The shrimp was delicious. There was also a bar and I had a glass of Sauvignon blanc which paired beautifully with my meal. The ambience of the place is great, it was decorated for Christmas and the lights are dim. Makes a great place for date night, I gotta come back! Overall, a great place to gather with others. I left full and happy that day.

I need to start by saying I would give this place 6 stars if I could, from the food to the service everything was absolutely perfect. That pasta was to DIE for, I was in heaven eating it, the drinks were all so good and strong, the dessert was good and not overly sweet. We had a little bit of everything on the menu and every bite was better than the last. Nikki was our server and was amazing with the recommendations, timing of everything, humor, she made it feel like home. Tori the manager was also around to make sure everything was good and also had a great sense of humor. I’m definitely coming back!!

EDIT: came back here and food and service was still good, but weirdly enough, I was offered a military discount after speaking to the manager and asking her directly after she visited our table, second time around the server was really quick to deny it saying the restaurant doesn’t offer it. I’m not a pushy person when asking for that discount so I didn’t push the issue, just thought everyone should know. I guess sometimes they will offer depending on who you ask 🤷🏽‍♂️ because of that inconsistency though, I decided to change my review to 4 stars.

Literally amazing. Be prepared to pay $350+ for a meal of two but honesty the food was immaculate. You can tell the chefs care about presentation and taste and going here for my anniversary was a perfect choice. Would highly recommend!

I went to Gabriella’s to celebrate my son’s 16th birthday and I can’t tell you how amazing this restaurant was. Firstly, we were sat immediately upon our arrival. We did not have to wait even a minute! Shout out to the amazing girls up front. Secondly our waitress Melina and busboy Fernando were exceptional! Melina was super friendly and on her A game! Fernando was the perfect busboy! He not only kept our table clean at all times, but came with the jokes! We loved them! Lastly the food was a home run! We had a tomahawk steak for two, a cowboy steak, chicken marsala, chicken parm, rigatoni in red sauce, lobster mac & cheese, fries, and mashed potatoes. The manager even came over to make sure everything was okay. At the end we were so stuffed we did not order dessert however Melina made sure the birthday boy had at least a scoop of icecream in celebration of his birthday! Thank you Melina and Fernando for making this a wonderful experience. I can’t thank Gabriella’s enough for making my son’s birthday so special! I would recommend this place to everyone!

worst place i’ve ever been too. i went with my friends for my 21st birthday and we had melissa “take care of us”. honestly the food was okay but the service is where it really was bad. it felt as if our server was rushing us and being completely disrespectful for example, we didn’t love a dish we got so we asked if we could’ve had something else, she goes “uh.. okay so what’s wrong with it” (her tone was what made it disrespectful) and we are all also servers i don’t think i’ve ever spoken to someone so stuck up like that i would be embarrassed at her grown age. we’d ask for more drinks and she seemed annoyed. the audacity to act like that when our bill was over $600 dollars. again, my entire group and i have been servers and never would we treat people as terribly as she treated us. definitely ruined my birthday and the chances of us going back. during dessert towards the end of our dinner (don’t get the s’mores baked alaska it tasted like the ash of a campfire it was god awful.) my friend had to take a call outside then when another friend went to check on him she stopped him and asked if he was leaving too as if we hadn’t just ordered three desserts and 3 of us were still at the table. i understand we’re a younger group but what gives her the right to act like we’re not customers and trying to make her tables around us seem like we were fine and dashing. the drinks were good can’t complain a lot that.
