Meatballs
Mahsa T.

The outdoor seating is lovely. The food was ok, but some items on the menu are hit or miss. My branzino, for example, was delicious, as was the side that came with it. But both the meatballs appetizer and the pizza that my mom ordered were a bit disappointing. I didn't like the taste of the meatballs, not sure what ingredients were combined to make the meatballs, but it just didn't taste good and it was too dense and tough. My mom's pizza was too doughy and had so little sauce, it was dry and tough to eat it. We had to request extra pizza sauce, which took forever and by that time the pizza was cold. Service was otherwise ok. I would say order appropriately here and avoid our mistakes because they're pricey.

Watermelon salad, polenta and Margherita pizza
Car S.

Lovely spot for lunch. Food is well done. Service is efficient. We ordered the Margherita pizza, crispy polenta and watermelon salad. The salad was surprising filling with complex flavors. Inside has a nice calming ambiance in a busy part of the mall. Only con - a bit on a pricey side.

Lunch at Gaby by Call Me Gaby did not disappoint. We sat inside, though the outdoor patio is perfect for people-watching. Service was quick and attentive. I had an espresso martini--hands down one of the best I've ever had. The focaccia was just okay, but the pot of meatballs was outstanding--so moist and flavorful. Hubby and I shared the Asian pear carpaccio and the Little Gem salad, both absolutely delicious. FYI... 20% gratuity is already included. I'll 100% be back.

Fiocchetti Alle Pere e Tartufo
John R.

This was the first time at the Aventura Mall, and heading outside to find this place where it was located immediately reminded me of Lincoln Road in Miami...except better. Sat outside and enjoyed a great meal. The Pot of Meatballs - Lamb and beef meatballs, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, whipped ricotta & chives was a great way to start. For me, the Fiocchetti Alle Pere e Tartufo - Handmade pasta filled with Parmigiano Reggiano fondue, caramelized pear, Sage butter sauce, Aceto Balsamico di Modena Goccia d'Oro, truffle carpaccio was both unique and tasty. Service could have been a little more friendly, but I'm giving that a pass for this review since everything else came together so well.

The food was very fresh and the service was excellent. We stopped by after doing some shopping and had a great brunch. The restaurant is super cute and has a nice menu. We did not try the regular menu but the brunch menu had many options.

Polenta
Maria C.

I looked at the reviews before I came to dine here, so I thought I would try it. However, very much disappointed I got the polenta which were a few small sticks. No taste to it and I feel like it was definitely overpriced. At the pizza had no flavor and the service was not that great. I would not recommend it.

7/27/35- Sunday @1:30pm- If I could give 10 Stars I would! Outstanding service, food and atmosphere! Definitely exceeded my every expectation! A very busy Sunday at the Aventura Mall. I knew enough to make a reservation for inside. The atmosphere is beautiful, casual , comfortable and inviting! The outside patio dining is a magical setting and the indoor has a casual family friendly vibe! Greeted warmly by the Host I was seated inside at a perfect location for me. Then it began! Great Service ! Extremely attentive, knowledgeable and friendly service from Oscar G. . The entire Team was amazingI Hospitality at it's finest! I ordered the most delicious Pinot Grigio with an appetizer of Focaccia.. oil and balsamic vinegar was brought to the table. Their olive oil is so delicious...very high quality. After reviewing their menu online for weeks in anticipation of my visit, I decided on the CRISPY POLENTA Served on a bed of Cacio and Pepper cream, Truffle oil, fresh grated parmesan cheese, chives! I started eating the Focaccia, pillowy buttery soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. A touch of Rosemary, course salt and olive oil. It definitely was the most delicious Focaccia I've ever had! My Pinot Grigio was iced cold and balanced by the pillowy Focaccia. Then came my entree the absolute masterpiece! I love Polenta I've never had it prepared this way and will never be satisfied with any other! The presentation was Michelin Star Quality! Then came the true taste test! Absolutely piping hot and delicious. The CRISPY POLENTA Served on a bed of Cacio and Pepper cream, Truffle oil, rosemary and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Truly things that dreams of.. The gracious manager, Giuseppe, greeted every table ensuring the service and the food exceeded expectations. And of course it delivered! He is charming and sincere!! For dessert I was offered their home made tiramisu. Creamy, light, delicate but full of flavor! What can i say but the entire experience was Magical! Yes, there are so many great restaurants at Aventura but Gaby should be your priority! I highly recommend

Decided to try this restaurant located at Aventura mall during lunch time and it was pretty good. The drinks were delicious and my favorite dish was the crispy polenta. That sauce! The Fiocchetti alle pere e tartufo was not my favorite, I think needed a little more seasoning in my opinion. I do want to go back and try the other pastas. Service was great, super attentive, and because it was lunch time it wasn't too busy so everything came out quickly. Cute spot to check out if you are at Aventura mall!

Margarita pizza with olives, and salad nicoise
Sharon S.

We love the food and call me Gaby at the South of fifth location. Stumbled across this location, and the food is exactly exactly the same. Everything is absolutely delicious. But the icing on the cake was our experience with the staff. They are exceptionally nice, and and have a great sense of humor. Stella and Dylan were outstanding (truly out-stand-ing!) We will be back very soon !!

Nice open indoor space

This is the first time I've been to Call Me Gaby and Aventura. I live near their original restaurant in South Beach and so I was interested to find out how well they had pulled off their casual chic, Mediterranean, Italian atmosphere. In short, it is a fantastic rendition. I loved everything about this location, completely forgot I was in a mall, and the attention to detail, the service, and the food, were among the best I've had at Gaby. The host, Jason, was super, and everyone was attentive without being overbearing. From the charcuterie board to the Nicoise salad to the focaccia, there was no let up on delivering full flavors and great fresh ingredients. Super for lunch. I'll have to try it again once for dinner to see if the atmosphere stays as wonderful

Watermelon salad  Burrata
Addison P.

Recently ate at Gaby by Call me gaby. The food was great and the service was nice and fast. We walked in without a reservation and got a table instantly. Would definitely go back.

We absolutely love this spot! We come here every time we come to the mall to shop. The food is real authentic ingredients and the interior is very cute and vibrant with many colorful pillows. It's a bit pricey but so worth it for the quality of the yummy ingredients!

Good service. Food is very over rated. Things were super salty! Do look at your receipt, they add the tip/service already on there.

One thing that I can be sure is the consistency of the Sicilian Oven restaurants in the Fort…read moreLauderdale area. We have been to 4-5 of them and all of them have a great staff, good food and decent prices. This last time we got some items from their lunch menu. Loved their herbed roasted chicken wings and their signature Sicilian Salad...which was a bit cheaper on the lunch menu. Just a great quality meal.

Here is a cleaner, more direct version that reads better but still gets the point across clearly…read more I placed an online order for pickup that included two salads with chicken and a large pizza (half peppers and half cheese). The order was paid for online. When we picked up the food, both salads arrived without the chicken that was supposed to be included. The pizza was also incorrect and came fully covered with vegetables instead of half peppers and half cheese. My daughter called the restaurant because she specifically wanted the salad with chicken. She even offered to come back to pick up the chicken that was missing. However, the manager told her there was nothing they could do. He mentioned that he would comp the meal, which was not what we were asking for--we simply wanted the order corrected. Unfortunately, that was never done either. The only item in the order that was correct was the penne bolognese. Overall, it was disappointing to have multiple items wrong in the order and then not have the issue properly resolved. .
