The chicken Parmesan, they had agnolotti on when I went which was delicious, and spaghetti and meatballs. We always get the fried mozzarella. It's so good. Also have to start with the house made bread with vinegar and oil. It's such solid food I keep going back. The tiramisu is always a must here. The drinks are delicious and it's such a cute space. I recommend it to everyone who asks where they should go eat! Can't wait to go back.

Gabiano's is Italian done right…read more First things first: order the fried mozzarella balls. Non-negotiable. I've worked my way through a good portion of the menu over the years, I have a few friends that love love coming here and for good reason! They do not take reservations so be sure to get here when they open to get a good seat if you're coming with more than a party of 4. And while the chicken parm wasn't my favorite, literally every pasta dish I've had has been excellent. Also the penne cotta? Wow. The wild mushroom ragu is rich! My personal favorite is the squid ink pasta with scallops - I've ordered this one a few times and it always slaps. Don't skip the focaccia. The bread with their olive oil is simple but truly unforgettable. The cocktails are consistently great, the atmosphere feels on brand without feeling stuffy like olive garden, and it's perfect for a date night, anniversary dinner, or catching up with friends. Portland has a lot of Italian restaurants, but Gabiano's remains one of my favorites.

Feedback: I wished the hashbrowns were more crisp! And warning, the online menu may not reflect the menu in-restaurant.

They were generous with the meat portion too, which I really appreciated. Their cocktails were good and refreshing and not too strong either. The place was dimly-lit with a good ambience for conversations. In the daytime, it is a chill sit-down and eat spot and at night, it turns into more of a dancing atmosphere with a DJ. The ordering process was kind of confusing. We took some menus and sat ourselves down and went up to the bar to place our orders. I think that some signage on this process would've been helpful.

We visited on a sunny summer Friday mid day. I am glad we waited because they get lines out the door at typical meal times. The staff were friendly and informative. We sat at the bar so we could see the kitchen staff grilling burgers. Of course we ordered a Double Rodeo Burger -COWBOY CANDY, CHEESE, BBQ MAYO, FUNYUN and a Junior Burger -CHEESE & KETCHUP. Both were excellent of course because Sure Shot knows how to make a proper smash burger. In fact I think they might have helped started the trend. Or at least gave us all a standard to live by. When you go I recommend the King Ice high ball it's refreshing and delicious.

We started with a round of cocktails and a few shared bites for the table. The Fry Bread a Neapolitan-style bread served with Parmigiano and garlic-rosemary oil, alongside burrata was a great start. We also ordered the Charred Calamari, marinated with mint, parsley, chive, and red bell pepper, which was fresh and flavorful. For the mains, everyone ordered their own entrée, and the table generally seemed happy with the dishes. The Autumn Harvest cocktail ended up being a crowd favorite and paired really well with the meal. I also tried one of their vermouths, which I enjoyed. Overall, it was a good experience with solid food and drinks. However , nothing particularly stood out to me in a way that would make me rush back anytime soon.

My experience tonight was honestly very disappointing. The woman behind the bar had negative energy…read morefrom the start and the service reflected that. She took our menus without asking if we wanted anything else, which felt rushed and dismissive. We ordered cocktails and later noticed they had a drink with CBD and THC in it. When we tried to order one at the bar, she came to our table to tell us she couldn't serve it to us because we had already had a cocktail. That seemed extremely odd, especially since there was no explanation of that policy beforehand. I asked another bartender about it, and he said he would have ordered one for us and even agreed it was strange. That confirmed for me that the issue didn't seem to be policy, but the way she handled the situation. Based on the attitude and the inconsistent service we experienced, management seriously needs to address this. Staff representing a business should be welcoming and consistent, and unfortunately that was not the case tonight. If this is the level of service being provided, it's something ownership should take seriously.
