A friendly neighborhood Italian-American joint in NE Portland

When you think about times that bring you the feeling of comfort, of generosity, and of love, what comes to mind? For all of us at Gabbiano’s, it is sharing a meal with friends and family, where love comes from food, and drinks, and the pure act of coming together for dinner. What was at our collective dinner tables? A passed down but constantly tweaked recipe for Sunday gravy, so much pasta, chicken parmesan, bread, wine, caesar salads (sometimes with *too* much anchovies, sometimes not enough), espresso martinis, and more. Food was always made with love, and everyone always had a role in the process and a space at the table.

Gabbiano’s was created to bring those feelings of warmth, of love, of comfort, and of hospitality to our guests on a nightly basis. With a menu that respects Italian-American traditions while giving them a little Gab’s tweak, and a seriously playful cocktail list that compliments the food, you’re sure to create new memories of meals shared together, and we can’t wait to be a part of them! Come by, say hi, we’d love to see you!

It takes a village to create the Gabbiano’s experience, and we would be lost without our incredible team who cultivate the magic of Gab’s on a daily basis! We’re all a little goofy, a little fresh, and full of a lotta love!
