What a wonderful dinner. On our last night in Paris We searched for an Italian Restaurant near the Louvre. A short bus ride later we were here. My wife had the Cannelloni Ricotta and loved it. I pigged our on the Penne Portifino and enjoyed every bite. We were too stuffed for desert but were really tempted to try one of their sumptuous offerings. We recommend this cucina to everyone who looses Italian food. read more

If you want a departure from French food then go to Gambino. You will be whisked away into a rustic Italian eatery where you are greeted with a warm friendly smile (another departure). The food is excellent! I would have it given it five stars except the pizza was heavy on the cheese. The pasta is fresh, the desserts are decadent. The staff is attentive without being over-bearing. read more

When in Paris we normally eat French food, but my wife wanted Italian. We found this place on yelp and was not disappointed. Best meal in France for this trip so far. Service was excellent and the food was awesome! The place is super popular with the locals! read more

Fantastic Italian food with an incredible range of pizzas, pastas and all things in between. Servings are a solid size for what your paying and the taste is sooo good! Atmosphere was lovely, warm and inviting while not being too loud you couldn't hear what your company was saying. Staff were also lovely and friendly. Only con was that the Tiramisu was a little small for what was expected. read more

Great and causal atmosphere. Found via Yelp, while on vacation in Paris. Big portions-I suggest sharing. Their chili oil and bread is good. Our party sampled the veal with mushroom cream sauce, the spinach ricotta cannelloni and lasagna all great choices. Service fast and friendly. read more

Excellent food! We had pizza but the pasta dishes around us looked great too! We went for lunch and had to wait for a table. The place was full of locals so we knew we chose the right spot! Great location for shopping and site seeing nearby! read more

I would recommend the: caprese, spaghetti del sole, raviolini stuffed w prosciutto & Demi-lunes. Our server spoke English & made excellent recommendations. The food came out very quickly. read more

Don't go to Paris expecting great pizza. I should have known better, but after a few days of French food, Italian was being craved. Upon waking in, the staff was not welcoming or friendly. Lots of them standing around, peering out the windows as if they were imprisoned. The waitress was cold and Brash, not giving me any recommendations because she claimed it was "all good". We ordered the antipasto platter of meats, cheeses, and pickled vegetables. It all tasted old and left over. The pizza came out, and was cooked fine, but just left a lot to be desired. It satisfied my craving for marinara sauce, but the over all experience was a bummer. Afterwards, we walked around the corner and saw countless restaurants that were overflowing with patrons that appeared to be having a lot more enjoyment eating their dinner than we did. Too bad we didn't see those spots before we landed here. Hopefully the staff can reinvent themselves and have a lesson in smiling and being friendlier. read more

Nice quaint and friendly atmosphere. Low key. When asked for recommendations the waiter gave great advice. The food was excellent, and large portions. The salads are to be shared as they are so large. The main dishes were excellent. Plenty of food, and it tasted great. Given all that, I was surprised at how reasonable the cost was. If I lived in Paris this would be a "go to" place. read more

We were looking for a place to eat that wasn't French. After 5 days we needed something different! Gambino's was perfect! They sat us promptly, took our drink orders, and made our pizzas in about 20 min. The pizza was great and if your not starving can easily be split between two people. The place filled up quickly, so I recommend being there when they open. Would highly recommend. read more

Excellent Italian food in Paris. Located near Galleria Lafayette and Louve. Great pasta and desserts

When faced with overwhelming dining options in Paris, this is an excellent choice. Traditional Italian which is a nice change of pace. Olive oil and bread is remarkable. Our group had various dishes which included lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo, and pizzas. All were excellent. read more

Stick to the pizzas. We ordered rissoto and veal pasta and they were both pretty tasteless.

A M A Z I N G! Came three nights out of the seven we stayed in Paris and was never disappointed! It was about a five minute walk from our hotel so super convenient. The entire staff is super friendly, and most speak fluent English + english menu! The pizza is flawless. Other members of my family had pasta and left none uneaten! I split a pizza with my brother every night and it was the perfect size. the bread they give before hand is also delicious. They leave a bottle of chili oil on the table that I just want to pour on everything, make sure to try it! Another great perk is even though its a small restaurant, they work well to get you seated quickly, we never waited, and there's additional seating upstairs! Love Love Love this restaurant and I would recommend to anyone. read more

It was absolutely fabulous!!!! The pasta was fresh and unique. Loved every bite and ate every bite! Must go when in Paris!!!

We went to Gambino with 7 people without reservation,well i can only say this!Very very very friendly people who work there,and the food was just too delicious.Next time we go Paris we promised our selves to go back again.Lucky us we only live in Belgium read more

Good cheese pizza, very good gnocchi, and great service! They had menus available in English, and the staff were happy to speak English as well. I would recommend! read more

Go eat here. You can thank me later. Seriously AMAZINGLY food! Pizzas were out of this world and the cannelloni, delicious! On a recent trip to Paris, my fiancé and I might have eaten here twice because it was just so good! Affordable dining right of opera boulevard. Many of the servers spoke English and were very polite to us. This was very useful since our French is not the best! Food is amazing and service is excellent and prices are affordable! We had a bottle of wine, entrees, and salads for around 60 :) read more

Very nice find in the heart of Paris. As many of you know it is very hard to find the right mix of quality food and fair prices, especially in Paris where most everything seems to be overpriced. The menu is simple but vaired, the ingredients are fresh and tasty, and the service was very attentive. The atmosphere is young and cozy while maybe a touch loud at times when it is full. Now for the food.... amongst the three of us we ordered a nice bottle of red wine, a Margharita pizza, a Genovese pizza which had buffalo mozzarella, sundries tomatoes, and a delicious pesto drizzle, as well as a pasta dish with a cream sauce and shrimp. Overall the food was delicious. The pizza crust was great and the sauce and other ingredients were high quality and tasty. The Genovese pizza had a great combination of flavors. The pasta dish was awesome as well. I would highly recommend giving this place a try as I am pretty confident you will find the food to be great and the prices even better. read more

Good Italian option if you are staying in this area, but not worth traveling cross town for. Service was far superior to most Parisian restaurants. I had the pesto mushroom pasta, quite good, large portion for Paris, but by the end I was over it. Wine selection was ok, dessert was also good. read more

Wonderful food, exceptional service. We don't speak French well and struggled early in in our trip with dining out but the staff at Gambino was so accommodating and inviting. It was such a relief. We did not make a reservation, but they seemed to have an area for those who didn't. We also went early around 7pm. Our server was so kind and made it our favorite dining spot on the trip. read more

Truly excellent food despite there being a little chef sighting. Definitely order the raviolini or the lasagne and they won't disappoint.

Ordered 3 entrees the lasagna and raviolini was delicious. Service was good and price was reasonable

A lively atmosphere with great staff, and wonderful food. Loved the evening so much, we returned for pizza at lunch. Definitely choose the Genovese - fresh buffalo mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes and pesto added after the pizza was cooked - phenomenal taste. read more

This place is excellent. Food is very good. Everyone in my family loved what they ordered. The place is clean and friendly with staff that is very professional and looking to make sure everything is to your liking. Decor is very nice, maybe a bit dark for some. We all loved it and when in Paris will go again. read more

After a terrible it Italian dinner, our first night in Paris. This place was a present surprise, our last night. Yelp has been a life saver. The staff was friendly, courteous and accommodating . The food was also great. My mother said her meal, was the best pasta she had ever eaten. I had a pizza, which was also really good. 5 stars, reasonable prices. read more

My daughters and I wandered into Gambino's with a hankering for pizza while visiting Paris. The staff was so friendly, the ambience was warm and congenial and the pizza was delicious. I'm sure we'll return. read more

It doesn't get any better than this for an American couple looking for the Parisian experience while still getting a great Italian meal. This place is a perfect marriage of ambiance and food. The staff was great. Our waitress was very friendly and spoke fluent English which made it much easier deciding on their many great dishes. The crowd was younger. We really felt like we stumbled upon a gem in Paris. What a great restaurant/experience. Highly recommend! read more

After 5 days of French food, this was a good alternative for my children ages 14 and 12. Pizza was very good, thin crust, crispy and had nice fresh ingredients. House Italian wine wasn't bad either. Definitely a place to check out if you need a change of pace in Paris. read more

The place to go when you are sick of Bistro food. I was alone and speak English and everyone, from the host to the waitress to the busser was incredibly friendly. Didn't see an exact match on the menu between pasta and sauce that I wanted, and the waitress told me they will mix and match whatever I wanted. I will be coming back here every time I'm in Paris. read more

My family and I really loved it. Great Italian food, phenomenal ambiance, great service, reasonable prices. Great place for kids too. Really one of my favorites on this trip to Paris. read more
