You simply will not find friendlier staff, better atmosphere, or better food. The cannoli in particular is out of this world, genuinely the best I’ve ever had!

Just WOW! Me and my mum went for brunch and it was faultless. The staff were so lovely and the food was delicious. All so fresh and cooked to perfection. We really struggled to choose what to have as we liked the whole menu! We can’t wait to go back! Thank you for a lovely experience.

The best pasta dish I have ever eaten! We visited for my 50th birthday for the pinot & pasta deal on a Thurs eve. £18 for drink & a pasta dish. This is extremely good value given the quality of the food. Lots of prawns in my dish, my daughter had beef Raghu which was tender strip of meat not mine & my husband had fennel sausage. The desserts were also to die for. Can’t believe this is ranked 11 in Olney. It is the BEST restaurant by a long shot.

I have been following on Facebook for some time and was waiting for the perfect opportunity to go. Celebrating our wedding anniversary seemed the ideal time. This was some of the best food we have ever eaten, it did not disappoint! We went on a Wednesday evening and it was the small plates menu. There was so much to chose from and absolutely everything was hot and fresh and tasted amazing. The ambience and attention to detail in the restaurant was really nice, and the service was spot on. A wonderful family restaurant that we will definitely be returning to.

We went here last Wednesday for dinner, the food was amazing. On Wednesday they do a small plate menu and each dish comes out as and when it’s ready. Food was fresh and spaced out well, allowing us to talk and enjoy our evening fully. Staff were super friendly and attentive, giving us details about the menu and checking in that everything was okay. Restaurant was busy and had a great atmosphere, service fantastic and food delicious, we can’t wait to go back!

An anniversary meal for us and a follow-on from the previous year's visit. Booking was simple enough, although their preference is email adding a contact number. Nice bread on arrival and we were asked if we liked it which we did. Just a pity that the two slices provided were the size of "soldiers" as per egg-soldiers. We chose starters of the frita mixta and the olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Olives were nice as were the sun-dried tomatoes but the olives were a mixture of green unpitted and green pitted plus black unpitted. As long as proper attention is paid when it comes to the green olives, then there is no worry about selecting the wrong ones and ending up with any tooth-threatening experiences. Strange that the olives should be served in a ramekin half-filled with expensive olive oil. Interesting and since no little forks or toothpicks were provided, taking olives meant either picking up the ramekin or dripping olive oil across the table. For the frita mixta, it was explained in advance that this comprised on Calamari, Cod and Salmon. The batter of this was pretty good but it was mostly salmon and only one calamari each. Personally, I would have preferred paying more than the £10.50 for this starter and getting a more traditional Italian style of frita mixta with other fish, maybe some smaller ones. Otherwise, this was acceptable. For mains, we had the Fegato (calves liver). This was cooked absolutely perfectly but the saute potatoes which accompanied this were a bit rustic (i.e. different thicknesses and different degrees of cooking). The calabrese (broccoli) which accompanied this was great for me but not so for my wife. Without warning this was cooked with chilli oil. Look, its OK to do this but how about some notification first? Wine was great. Desert was Tiramisu. A great sized looking portion but no Masala wine and very little coffee in it made for what was more like a stodgy cake instead of what this ought to be. Disappointing. We then went for single espressos. No crema head, more like a small black coffee and no spoons either for a while until the coffees were cold and all this despite asking. To be fair, service was very good at the start but as the restaurant filled, it became worse. Slower, comments like "I'll let chef know" when we complained about things. Hence on balance, this was an average experience for us and one which we don't look forward to repeating any time soon.

Absolutely flawless, we chose Locanda Gabriellas to host our 25th wedding anniversary. We made the right choice,everything was outstanding and the attention to detail fantastic. We had 30+ guests, and every one of them were very impressed, and we had no negative feedback. The food was incredible, and everything was presented beautifully and perfectly seasoned. From starters all the way through to desert there was no reason for any complaints. All in all our experience and our guests experience was made into a truly wonderful memory for us all to cherish.

When I booked by phone, I was asked if it was a special occasion. I said it was my wife’s Birthday. We didn’t expect much but having been asked, we would have expected some small token recognition. But nothing was forthcoming. The implication being that my wife’s Birthday wasn’t special enough. Otherwise, food was good, we had the beef medallions. Service was prompt but we had to remind a couple of times of things that were overlooked (we weren’t asked if we wanted a drink at the start and the dessert menu took two attempts). Overall one star demerit for raising an expectation about it being a special occasion.

We had a meal for my nans 90th birthday here and we were massively impressed. We are an Italian family so we often don’t eat out at Italian restaurants as we find them disappointing, but NOT Locanda Gabriella! The food was amazing, all freshly made with excellent ingredients. The menu was flexible for people with dietary requirements and the staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating. Gabriella also made my nans birthday cake (which I had previously requested through her bakery) which was one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. We honestly can’t wait to go back there and couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you for a brilliant family meal! Grazie Grazie 😊

Locanda Gabriella is not just our favourite Italian but our favourite restaurant! We first found out about it 2 years ago and have been many times since. Having been to Italy a number of times I can say this is the most authentic Italian food I've had outside of Italy. We normally have a couple of Cicchetti to start (the crab with pipped potatoes is insanely good and the ravioli which changes weekly is amazing). Then for main usually a pasta dish, the pasta is superbly cooked and every dish l've had has been delicious. We would like to have a cicchetti night sometime but the pasta is just so good! My wife also loved the swordfish and hopes that one day it comes back on the menu. The restaurant ambiance is nice and relaxed and not overcrowded, it's in a lovely setting and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Overall it's the perfect Italian!

Were fortunate enough to get a booking on St Valentine's night so went along with anticipation of a great meal and certainly was not disappointed. Nice welcome at the door and shown to our table which was very tastefully decorated for the occasion with lovely rose petals and high quality glassware etc. Service was slick as they were having different sittings so we anticipated the possibility of being served a little quicker than would be expected but to be honest, the staff efficiency ensured minimum delays and we certainly didn't feel rushed. Drinks and food ordered, we sat back to enjoy the musician who was entertaining us with a mix of jazz and popular songs. Delightful background music which enhanced the evening and in no way interfered with conversation despite being in a relatively small area. For starters, I had the Smoked duck salad with apple and celeriac with my wife opting for the Arancini Beef Ragu and Mozzarela. Both dishes were superb. Tasty, well presented and well presented as you would expect from this restaurant. Main courses were for my wife, the Sirloin Steak (well done) with pizziola sauce, saute potatoes & green beans with my choice being the Breaded Veal, saltimbocca, mushrooms & onion with duchess potato. The Breaded Veal was to die for, 3 slices with a lovely crisp coating and very tasty. Delightful meal, however, not the same could be said for the steak. It was beyond tough. Cutting it was hard but attempting to eat it was impossible. We had asked for well done, however this really was rubberised. Sad to have to say it but it really was inedible. A call to the waiter had it immediately removed with apologies and within a few minutes a replacement meal of the Breaded Veal was served up. All with the minimum of fuss, no argument and a few apologies from other members of staff. With the best will in the world, problems can occur but the real measure of how professional a team can be is the way they react to situations and I must say, Gabriellas came out on top. Not sure what was wrong, but the resultant action was excellent. For dessert, we had macaron - a nice finish to an excellent meal. Apart from the steak issue, I can only praise the quality of what we had, the standard of the staff and although a relatively expensive meal for Olney, the surroundings are such that it was excellent value for money and a great way to spend St Valentines night.

Having had cocktails here a few months back, on my birthday, I was taken for a meal. Wow - what a fantastic place. The menu provides and excellent range of food but when it arrived it exceeded expectations in all quarters. Starters of Arancini and Vendura Alla Griglia were so well presented and cooked to perfaction but this was only the starter of a lovely meal. Our main courses consisted of Beef Medalions and Sea bream which were accompanied by a range of vegetables - absolutely delicouis. Deserts of Apple Tart & Galleto and Semi Freddie just set the meal off. Nice wine and cocktails made it a night to remember. The staff were surprisingly young but their standard of service would have put many more 'up market brands' to shame. A real team who knew how to deal with a wide variety of people - congratulations must go to them in addition, of course to the behind the scenes staff responsible for the food quality, presentation standards and all that makes a good fine dining experience We will be back

Thanks to the Restaurant only being opened part time and a next to hopeless Booking System it took me 3 weeks to organise a Meal . Welcomed in to the Premises and shown a Table the first thing I noticed is that owing to the colour contrast of the Menu and the evening shadow I found it very difficult to read . Another strange thing was the Starters were listed beneath the Mains . The Menu was very sparse to say the least whilst the Drinks menu by contrast was overwhelming . I think the latter is the Restaurant’s raison detre . For Drinks I had a Bottle of Pear Cider and my date a Glass of RedWine . For starters I went with Mushrooms and my other half Prawns . The Mushroom’s came with a Mushroom Sauce , Black Pepper and a few Crispy Bacon Shavings . Sadly they were completely bland urgently requiring some garlic though to be fair were perfectly cooked and presented . My main course was the Ragu and to my genuine upset I don’t think I have ever eaten a more tasteless dish , again nothing wrong with the food itself but just so tasteless to be completely unappetising . It’s no exaggeration to say Rab C Nesbitt could have knocked up better in his Glasgow Council Flat after a night on the lash . It was so abysmal I gave up after a few forkfuls . My partner’s Chicken Dish wasn’t any better and soon we called for the Bill and beat a disappointed exit . What do I conclude from all positive reviews of other Diners ? Clearly they have little experience of a genuine Italian Restaurant for this is a Cocktail Bar serving a very limited Menu on the side . On the face of it this is fine if the Food stands out but sadly here it doesn’t . It urgently requires flavour instead of blandness , they need to concentrate on the food rather than the endless variations of Cocktails but they won’t because this is where their margin is . To say I was disappointed is an understatement , we both had such high hopes and ended the evening completely deflated

Some of the worst service I’ve had in a long time, we arrived at our booking at 8pm, we didn’t see food until 9:40! Not only did the food take over an hour and a half, not once did a waiter/waitress come over to us and explain the problem, apologise, offer us any drinks while we waited, or compensate in any way. The just proceeded as if nothing was wrong. Then to follow they sarcastically said “worth the wait?” and laughed. I can’t deny the food itself was good but that’s been overshadowed by the lack of care and responsibility taken. I won’t be in a rush to come back as it seems customer care isn’t a focus.

Having eaten elsewhere, we decided to have an end of meal cocktail here. Having been here many times over the past 25 years when mum and dad ran it, we were amazed at the changes. Always smart but the transformation has put it on a different plane. Staff welcome was exceptional. The fact we were only wanting a drink when the restaurant was in full swing meant nothing. A table near the bar was identified, adequate seating and menus supplied all in a very professional way by what was a relatively young staff. The offer of complimentary nuts or olives was appreciated although having just eaten, we reluctantly turned down. A really impressive start. From the well put together menu, we settled on 2 x watermelon Spritz and a Limoncello Long Island and it was interesting to see them being created by an expert. No flash dramatic demonstration, simply concentration going into the mixing. The drinks were perfect and these, atmosphere and more importantly, the staff will see us back there for a meal sooner rather than later. Thanks to all concerned - see you again soon! And why nearly 4 stars? A major disappointment was the lack of a range of premium malt whiskies. A restaurant of this standard would have 3/4 malts on the menu - a real shame!

Everything about this restaurant was superb. The decor, the atmosphere, the service the cocktails and the food. We were really well looked after from start to finish and very much looking forward to visiting again soon.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Amazing food and such a warm atmosphere. We were made to feel so welcome and it felt authentically italian! They also cater to kids - and fussy kids! Personal recommendations are the Arancini and their Limoncello Ice Tea cocktail!!

Absolutely fantastic evening out at the recently opened Locanda Gabriella! An amazing range of cicchetti dishes to start, and a wide choice of main courses and deserts. The staff team were excellent - very friendly and welcoming, and the service throughout was faultless. Will definitely be returning soon!!

I have had quite a few cakes from Gabriellas Dolci and I have never been disappointed! All cakes are made so personal for the individual and they just taste incredible. I have honestly not tasted anything like it. I would always approach Gabriella if a cake is required for anything. I already have her in line to make my wedding cake when the day comes!!

I have ordered a number of cakes through Gabriella's Dolci for various occasions. I have requested all sorts of different styles, techniques and flavours - and every time she has exceeded my expectations. Super impressive & highly recommended!!

Gabriella made me some cupcakes for a special occasion and not only did they look amazing but they tasted so good too! I would recommend her to anybody that needs cakes. She is a very talented lady! Thankyou Gabriella!

Great pizza joint, friendly staff, great variety, loads of different sides to choose from and nice choice of chicken toppings among other things. Would totally recommend. Nice to have on our doorstep ☺️

Although not a restaurant, the food is of restaurant quality, I think. Little seating next to the van, but a nice little spot to eat mid-shop. Pizza was delicious and not badly priced either. Would definitely reccommend. Not sure if they do drinks? I didn't see a list for any so if they don't already, would reccommend drinks being available.

Little Gem of a place in a very 'Harry Potterish' area of Olney. Great for that odd cup of Coffee and Croissant or a full on Gourmet Meal with Great Wine. Atmosphere was buzzing with people chatting and just enjoying the moment. Service was quick and efficient and the food came out piping hot and delicious, plus the bonus desserts were amazing and free. ( Orange Cake, a Greek dish, due to go on the menu Dec)..5 Stars are not enough for this amazing Restaurant.
