We then ordered shrimp and scallop geonese and I had the four cheese tortellini. Very tasty meals great flavors, fresh food, cooked to perfection.

It's the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked--light, crisp, and flavorful. A great way to kick things off.

Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Timing on the food was spot on. For entrées, the chicken marsala was rich, savory, and full of flavor it was easily a highlight. My husband's steak and shrimp was also very well prepared and equally enjoyable. Overall, Gambino's delivers a great combination of atmosphere, service, and satisfying Italian comfort food. Definitely a spot I'd recommend and look forward to visiting again.

A locally-owned gem with Southern hospitality and delicious Italian food…read more Having been a fan of this restaurant a few years back, I was excited to try it again after recently moving back to the area. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts to visit on a Sunday (they're closed!), I finally made it on a Tuesday evening. I was promptly greeted and seated by the friendly host right as they opened at 5 p.m. Our waitress was welcoming and took our appetizer order right after our drinks. We were debating between the mozzarella sticks and calamari, and she recommended the trio, which included both, plus fried zucchini - a great suggestion! Soon after our appetizer arrived, the owner and chef came to our table to introduce himself and check on our food. It was a nice, personal touch that you don't see very often. While the service was a little on the slower side, it was clear that the small but mighty staff was attentive and making their rounds to all the tables. For our main course, we ordered the chicken parmesan, which was a generous portion, easily shareable for two, and came with a side salad. It was yummy. This restaurant has a certain charm with its combination of Southern hospitality and Italian cuisine. I would recommend it based on my experience. They also have some weekly specials (unsure for how long) : -Wednesday Family Night: Large 3-topping pizza for $11.99 -Thursday Date Night: The $5 corkage fee for BYOB is waived, and they offer a "share a bowl" upgrade for $5.99 (usually $9.99), which gives you two servings of protein instead of one. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I'm happy to recommend.

But, I have NEVER had the opportunity to write a review for a restaurant that completely blew me away, like the restaurant we visited last evening. I need to go back and subtract a star from every restaurant I've reviewed in the past! (Hyperbole) A guy I don't know, on Facebook, highly recommended this Italian Restaurant. We have had our own favorite Italian restaurant that we have loved for more than 10 years (Petrella's, in Cantonment). So, we tried Bella Italia, expecting to be able to go back and tell the guy "our favorite Italian restaurant is better than yours." No such luck. From the moment we walked into Bella Italia, we knew we were onto something, starting with the sincere way we were greeted. Our waitress talked to us like family - telling us about the chef/owner and how he cooks everything from scratch and how he sourced many of his high end ingredients directly from Italy. (And huge, fresh shrimp from our local waters.) The Tiramisu is flown in from New York. The food was amazing. Our waitress brought us out a complimentary appetizer that was so simple - some Italian bread, lightly buttered and seasoned, with some large flakes of parmesan, and a small bowl of dipping sauce that consisted of ranch dressing thickened with cucumber, dill and some other tasty ingredients. Wow! I ordered a Salmon dish that rested on a bed of house made angel hair pasta and covered with a delicious house Alfredo sauce and wifey ordered a shrimp dish that consisted of some HUGE gulf shrimp on top of some cheese ravioli. Both dishes were served with hot garlic bread and everything was outstanding. Portion size was very generous, too. For dessert, we chose the Lemon Italian cream cake. It was very light and refreshing and we were pleased with the finale of our dining experience. If you're reading this review and shopping/evaluating which Italian restaurant to try out next. PLEASE GO HERE. You will not be disappointed. This is my new favorite restaurant and it will probably be yours, too!

They are only open for dinner which starts at 3pm and then depending on the day they close at 8pm or 9pm. When I arrived right at 3pm they already were jam packed but I fortunately was able to grab a table two days in a row after failing to get a table multiple times when I showed up around 5pm and 6pm. The owners are originally from New Orleans so that immediately let me know I was going to be in for some good food. I sampled soup, pasta, pizza, a sandwich and their dessert. I was happy with all of the food and only have a minor issue with the pizza as it is more of a thick crust and I prefer thinner crust pizza. The service was attentive and took good care of me. They also offer specials which they will post on Facebook sometimes. Overall I like this place but having to arrive so early to get a table throws my dining schedule off.
