Editorial Review for Gabriel's – by Lucien Fletcher
The Scene
This welcoming favorite owes much of its success to the unfailingly charming owner, Gabriel Aiello. The saffron walls of the large rectangular room are whimsically appointed with colorful art and angled mirrors. Deep, horseshoe-shaped leatherette booths offer a clear view of luminaries from the art and media worlds. Recent soundproofing has significantly improved your chances of eavesdropping on Beverly Sills.
The Food
The kitchen turns out symphonic pastas and delicious grilled items. Penne arrabbiata strikes just the right balance of hot and sweet, as does a simple fettuccine with sausages and peppers; a slathering of horseradish enlivens a tuna steak ringed by fava bean puree. Grilled lamb chops are terrific set over saffron risotto cake with baby turnips. The desserts are all exceptional.

My wife & I have been to Gabriel's several times over the years. We love the atmosphere & service but mostly return due to the delicious cuisine which is always served fresh and cooked perfectly. What we also like about it is that it's not all typical red-sauce Italian dishes and the menu always has something interesting to offer. Highly recommended!

I stopped in here for dinner all by myself one day. I had to spend some time before going to the opera. I'm so glad I did because the food was delicious and the martinis generously sized and perfectly made. Before my dinner arrived I was given a wonderful selection of bread and rolls. My entree was a zucchini pasta and it was so good I could have eaten two. The atmosphere struck me as a little snobby (the other patrons, not the staff), but it could have been because it was full of well-heeled folks on their way to the Met. I definitely would like to go back, next time for an occasion. It's a little pricey but I left there feeling I had gotten more than my money's worth.
Pros: Great food and drinks
Cons: none, really
