Il Gabbiano Restaurant / BYOB

We ordered Mama Mia Pasta, Meatballs and Linguini and Steak Old Fashion. Everything tasted ok, but nothing spectacular. I wish the pasta had been homemade, but alas you could tell they were from a box. Service was fast and friendly.

SIMPLY AMAZING. We had an event at Il Gabbiano and it was exceptional. The staff are very professional and kind. The service was excellent! The food tastes REALLY good and the cost is very reasonable. And to Alex the owner…I take a bow to you because you are awesome. I couldn’t be more happy and satisfied..My husband and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for extending your restaurant to our family and friends. You and your team showered us with love and respect. I HIGHLY recommend Il Gabbiano in Cranford if you are looking to have a small and cozy event. 10ssss across the board. I have NO complaints. I thank you and your team for making my daughter’s baby dedication dinner so memorable. 🩷🩷 WJ

I had a wonderful birthday dinner at Il Gabbiano and was able to snap a few pictures before it filled up with guests! This is a hidden gem, and a real favorite. The staff is super attentive, the food is outstanding, and the atmosphere is warm and friendly! BYOB too! I highly recommend!

IL Gabbiano is seriously good Italian. I highly highly recommend coming here for some of the best food in Cranford! We had the broccoli rabe to start and for mains we had the snapper with shrimp on a bed of parmesan risotto. It was to die for. You are allowed to being your own wine to the restaurant which we did. The menu has so many Italian classics to choose from! Get here asap for an incredible meal.

We had a very delicious dinner here. As the previous reviews stated, the wait staff was amazing. They were not too pushy, and very friendly and very attentive. “Katrina”, our waitress, exemplified that. We’ve been here about 20 times before over the last 12 years and we’ll return again. I was pleasantly surprised to see the seafood linguine was full of fresh seafood- actually more seafood than pasta! The chicken piccata was also very good. And BYOB is always nice.
