The food was AMAZING, the service absolutely on point. Overall, I would recommend to anyone looking for the most authentic Italian food, this side of the Atlantic. We were there on a Wednesday night, and it was quite busy, but we were seated quickly. Reservations are definitely encouraged.

2024-03 update.
Server was very attentive. Quick on water refills, and soda drinks.
Ordered a bottle of wine, complimented the meats perfectly.
House bread arrived just after appetizers. It was soft inside with the perfect crust. It only comes with sesame seeded.
Calamari, sauteed, the sauce is perfect for dipping the bread into.
Veal pops medium rare, moist and delicious and very flavorful.
T-bone - ordered medium rare, arrived well done. Even well done, it was delicious. I did send it back. The new steak arrived a perfect medium rare.
Desserts - beautiful presentation.
Something there for most to choose from. The frozen lemon is a fun dessert.
Everything was exceptional. Service by Mario was exceptional. He is on the ball, he knows the menu.
Dinner was apps, entrees and desserts.
Every single item order was perfect.
The calamari was lightly breaded, fried perfectly, tasted delicious.
Shrimp and ravioli was cooked to perfection.

Gabriella's is definitely my favorite restaurant in Dauphin County. I have now been there twice and I am consistently impressed. I enjoy the food, cocktails, atmosphere and service.
My favorite meal is the shrimp salmon penne. Not only was the flavor fantastic, but also the quality and quantity as well. And I can't forget my favor cocktail the Lavender Sour. By far the best cocktail I have ever had. I asked our server for the recipe at the end of our meal.
The quality of the restaurant doesn't end there. It even extends to the restrooms where they had high quality toilet paper instead of cost saving by purchasing lesser quality.
I would recommend them to any friend or family member in the area.

My husband and I were traveling through Harrisburg on his birthday and found Gabriella for a celebration dinner. We could not have chosen any better, even if we had been locals. It was perfect. The food, drinks and service were excellent.

Gabriella consistently has excellent food and service. We always enjoy our meals here. However, parking can be difficult. The outdoor area is also very nice if you enjoy that.

We’ve heard so many great things about this place and we were so excited to try it! The food was amazing and the service was spot on! We started with a bottle of wine and the burrata caprese and it was absolutely amazing! We each had a salad, which their caesar salad is amazing and would highly recommend. I had the chicken picatta and my wife had the halibut special, both were very good with a side of gluten-free pasta and marinara sauce. We moved to the bar for desert and expresso martinis. The drinks and desert were really good, the bartender was awesome and the bar is just a cool place to end the night! I would strongly suggest reservations as this is a busy place and you aren’t just going to walk in. I would highly recommend Gabriella Italian Restaurant for people looking for good Italian food in the Harrisburg area.

Burrata Caprese
This was my first time visiting, but I’ve always heard great reviews. The food was really good! Everything from start to finish was delicious! I forgot to take a picture of my entree for this review, since I was so excited to dig in. I started with an appetizer special which was lamb lollipops in Marsala sauce. I had the Chicken Oscar with linguine in tomato sauce for my entree. The Caesar salad was good. I was really full, so I decided to take my entree and the three chocolate mousse to go. Everything tasted fresh. The restaurant was busy, so it was a little bit noisy. Overall, the food was worth it. I’ll definitely be back!

Chicken Oscar
This it's my favorite Italian restaurant in the area. The service is fantastic with services that have been there for years. They know the menu. They know the specials. They know how to help you be happy.
The drinks are well crafted.
The food! I have had so many good meals here. Every one was celebration worthy.
My friend got the manicotti. She said it was light and delicious. I had the chicken francese.
Go here, it is just a great little restaurant.

So, the atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty romantic and nice for a Valentines dinner. The service was okay. The food was okay but not impressive. We got the lasagna and it was tasty but again not really impressed. I was surprised that if you chose the Cesar salad vs. A house salad there was an almost $5 upcharge and we received 4 small 1/4 slices of bread(the hard crunchy kind) with our salad, so we asked for additional bread for when our meal came and there was charge for tht as well($2). Overall it was okay but probably will not return.😔😕

Absolutely scrumptious. Their food is magnificent. Italian at its finest. Portions are fairly large, so most likely you will have leftovers (always a good things). Their pasta sauce is totally original, so good! Their staff is nothing but friendly and accommodating. Our waitress had a large group with many demands for the holidays, and she was so sweet and attentive. Their bar staff members were also very friendly. I would definitely recommend! The only thing is that it was pretty crowded and loud, so hard to hear. They do have lovely outdoor seats with heaters, so you can’t even tell it’s outside technically! 10/10 come here!!
