Gabby's Cafe

Stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant in the Wyoming area of Cincinnati due to our organization hosting a Christmas luncheon there. It has large glass windows allowing diners to look out at the people enjoying the cute shops along this quiet street. Gabby's is a family-owned restaurant and the DiStasi family has been in the catering and restaurant business for over 50 years. It turns out that our Executive Director has a personal relationship with the family going back for many years, so that made our time at the restaurant even more special as they recounted old memories from high school to today.Our table shared a variety of appetizers: giant meatballs (some of the best I have ever had), garlic bread, cheesy garlic bread, fried pickles, Saratoga chips, and various side salads.The menu ranged from pizza to salmon to lasagna and many other items. I tried the lasagna as this is one of their signature entrees. It was the absolute BEST lasagna I have ever had! I received a huge portion with garlic bread and a side Caesar salad. After all those shared appetizers, I was happy to have half of my lasagna boxed up to have the next day. The meatballs come with plenty of the DiStasis marinara sauce that they are known for. So tangy and a perfect addition to the large meatballs. You can pick up jars of the sauce at the restaurant and purchase online. They do catering, so be sure to check them out for a party or dine-in. You won't be disappointed either way.

I was in the area checking out a couple of bookstores and had lunch at Gabby's (courtesy of a Chowdown Cincinnati recommendation). They had a salmon burger special I decided to try and I'm glad I did! It reminded me of a crab cake, which are my favorite, even down to the remoulade sauce. My friend got the fist sandwich and it was huge! The desserts looked so good we had to try to lemoncello marscapone pie and peanut butter pie. Don't skip out on dessert and our server was great!

A great neighborhood eatery, with an Italian bent. I had the calamari and it was very good. Everyone in our Group was pleased with the service and the food. Our table for10 turned into 14 and they handled it with a smile and professionalism. If your in Wyoming, give it a try. You'll be glad you did.

Really need to update pricing on the website.... Arrive for dinner & pricing is WAY higher than listed....Service was great!

We've never been disappointed in our many visits to Gabby's. I have had the salmon most every time. My absolute favorite part of my meal though is the sautéed veggies. My husband and friends have sampled several different menu items and always enjoy their meals. I always forget pictures because I'm so excited for their first bites! Desserts here are plenty and also delicious. Service is always great and pretty prompt. The owner and manager are often seen stopping in and checking with diners. We usually make reservations on weekends just to be sure we'll have a table when we arrive. It's a small space with a front dining room and some seating in the bar area.

Great sort of "hole in the wall" vibe, but with delicious Italian style food. I got the eggplant parm and it was very tasty. Good portion size too, moderate prices. The server was a little harsh but not a bad experience. There's also a sports bar style room in the back where you can drink or get a DORA cup to-go and walk around cute Wyoming.There's some picnic benches out front, but I think you can only take the DORA cups there, no food. There's plenty of desserts and frozen meals to go. Would return

If you like delicious food, friendly service, a great bar menu and a locally owned restaurant, Gabby's is worth a try. It's no accident they're celebrating their 20th year in business. In the restaurant world, that's pretty special! So much of the success is due to the Gabby's team. It starts with owner, Dino Distasi and his mom's recipes. He makes everyone feel like they're family. And no one leaves hungry!Dino and manager, Joe Cornella, have hired very carefully to find really kind, caring team members.Don't miss out on the lasagna and the very local Bocce beer. If you have a sweet tooth, try a freshly baked dessert. They're a very community-minded business, donating frequently to important local fundraisers and non profits. This community is loyal to Gabby's because Gabby's is loyal to the community.

I've had a few carry-out meals at Gabby's over the past few years and I've had some mixed results. They almost always take longer than the quoted time (by a ways), they have forgotten parts of our dinner, and they've The salads have been disappointing, especially the caesar salad - a smattering of lettuce and parmesan shake, nothing special at all. Burgers are... okay. Not amazing, not special, but definitely not bad. The fried fish sandwich is suitably large, lightly fried, and pretty tasty. The batter isn't overwhelming, but it compliments the flavor of the fish well.Their pizzas are their best things, they are well topped and evenly cooked, with great sauce and cheese. I'm more than happy to continue enjoying those.When they've forgotten things? They've more than made up for it, offering a generous compensation on our next order, and being very apologetic - I actually view this as a positive. Mistakes will happen, especially when you're running with a small staff. But how you handle mistakes is big, and Gabby's does a good job!

Pizza was burnt send it back. It was burnt again. We usually love the food at Gabby's but this was the worst pizza. I think we've ever had. The server didn't acknowledge that it was burnt the second time and didn't check back with us. Very disappointed.Server could have cared less!

GABBY'S DOES IT AGAIN! When the Carnivore in me comes calling, a Gabby's Angus Burger fills the bill. But now, Gabby's has a Filet Mignon with a Red Wine Reduction that is UNBELIEVABLE! I have had it twice and each time was cooked to perfection and amazingly tender. The best part, the price is far less than other "Steak Places." Again, I ask, with a smile , why does Wyomings' favorite Italian restaurant serve the BEST burgers and filets?
