Gamba Ristorante

A friend told me this was a must dine about 4 years ago. I'd never have considered it considering the location but was surprised to have a wonderful meal and continued to have them each time I found myself in this neck of the woods. Atmosphere is excellent as is the service and the owner. The Osso Bucco is outstanding as is the pork loin and the veal. Unfortunatly the Pasts Fagioli is oil and white bean soup(no pasta) not good.The prices are very high here considering the location but were worth it. Unfortunatly, the last two times I've eaten here, both in the summer and fall of 2012, there has been a significant dropoff in the quality of food.Fair food extraordinary price. The waiter tried giving two of us a charge to sign that included a 20% tip !!! An outright attempt to rip us off, AND leaving the tip slot open. I now hear the chef has left and is at a new restaurant. Maybe one more chance? Dont know if I can do it. I am sooo disappointed.

OMG!!! Italian is my absolute favorite...This beautiful ristorante was amazing...From the moment We walked in host was beautiful and charming , waiter gave amazing suggestions very  informative. Quality classy service ..from antipasti vino & desert.....what a delight!!!!!

Let me start by saying my review would have been 5 stars if we wouldn't have run into a heinous situation and it would only be one star if the manager had not tried to rectify the situation quickly (the damage was already done however). I was attending a wedding here on Saturday night, everything was great until the bar closed. The bar closed at 10:30 (which wasn't the issue), the issue began when the groom and best man brought in some Crown to take a celebratory shot, one of the bartenders then tried to take the bottle of crown from the best man and then went on to accuse him of stealing the bottle from the closed bar but it didn't stop there. We found out from the other bartenders talking and the loud mouth bartender went on to call the best man and the guests, White Trash. Needless to say I will NEVER book an event here in fear of my guests being referred to as White Trash. The manager did try and rectify the situation but the damage was done once all of the guests attending realized how little the bartender thought of us. Also, everyone was tipping every time they made a trip up to the bar.
This was highly dissapointing to me since this was my first time at Gamba's and this is what I expereienced...my family being called white trash, which we are the furthest thing from.
