"I had heard a lot about Gabriella's from friends so I decided to try it out for my birthday. They didn't seem to initially have our reservation so I had to tell them to check their OpenTable reservations, at which point they found it. This is a little worrisome since I love the convenience of this app so when restaurants don't keep up with the reservations, it can be a little frustrating. Our server was fantastic. I got the pasta pomodoro with pappardelle noodles instead. I must say, it was rather salty but overall, still delicious. That is really my only complaint food-wise. We also started with the calamari which was incredible. Overall, I highly recommend Gabriella's."

"Always love the food at Gabriella's! It was the first visit for my guests and they loved it too. I just wish they could find good help! No one was there to greet us when we walked in, which wasn't a big deal. I know they were busy. But when she finally came to the front, the young lady didn't make eye contact, didn't say hello . . . nothing for several minutes. Very unfriendly. Gabriella's could be amazing if they could just get some good employees! (Our waiter WAS very nice and friendly though - he was great!)"

"Wonderful food. We eat in & carry out. It's still a bit like the BBQ place it was previously but, the service & food more than make up for the lack of Italian ambiance."

"This was our 3rd visit to Gabriella's. The food is always great. We love the lamb fries and the Carbonara Americano and the Coalminer's spaghetti. The bread is to die for. I don't get why the service is so mediocre. Our server was super sweet but you could tell the kitchen was behind. The hostess was downright rude. We will definitely return as the food is that good, I just hope they work out the kinks in the service."

"The Spaghetti and meatballs, very good. The chicken was tender and very tasty. The salads and warm bread, excellent. The Wedding cake, she ate the whole piece. Delicious. The coffee was very good. We'll be back."

"We ate at Gabriella's to celebrate a few graduate school graduations. We had the BEST time!! With 10 people, we were probably a handful, but our service was impeccable, the food was exquisite, and everyone left very happy. We loved having our own little room so we didn't have to worry about bothering any other guests! We will most definitely we returning for the next special occasion."

Review 13 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"Great mix of old world Italian and modern cooking. Old family recipes from the Pennsylvania Italian coal minors who migrated to coal country in Oklahoma and then handed down to this generation are my favorites. Trying everything on the menu and haven't found a reject. We love sitting in the bar/kitchen area. It is loud, energetic and the kitchen is open so you get to see everything. There are also secluded booths at the front for quiet dinners. Great wine and beer list at reasonable prices. If you have never had lamb fries this is the place to try them. They are great!"

Review 15 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"You'd never expect it in this little out of the way place but this has some of the best Italian food we've ever had. All old family recipes. No matter what you have to order the house favorite lasagna. It is not only the best lasagna you will ever have but one of the best dishes anywhere. The red sauce on it is a little bit sweeter than usual and for some reason it makes one of the best combinations of flavors that I've ever had.
The server was friendly but not very knowledgeable about food and wine. It's not that it was slow or unattentive but just not much better than an IHOP I hate to say. The owner did come by to say hi which was nice. Don't let the knock on service deter you, if you want an amazing dinner give it a shot."

Review 17 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"Found the food to be sub-par. Salad was not real fresh iceberg lettuce drowned in dressing. There were three of us and each entree was $16 - $17. High for lasagna that wasn't that great. I tood the leftovers home, but threw them away."

Review 18 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"Actually the menus could use a little wiping down, but the food is outstanding. Everything is made there and creatively. I've tried Cioppino all over and I have to say theirs is about as good as it can get. The sausage is made on premises and is delicious. They also build several mean deserts - the build them right there in the middle section of the restaurant - watch 'em go."

Review 21 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"This place was really nice, and the ambiance it pretty cool too. My wife, the foody, kept saying how much she liked the place with the little private rooms off to either side and our table overlooked I-44 and the downtown skyline (not much of a skyline in OKC, but hey, it's what we've got). Food is all hand prepared and taken from the same italian family recipes that are in Krebs. Worth it!"

Review 28 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. I loved the meatballs and loved the garlic toast, but the spaghetti sauce was way too sweet. If I go back, I would have to order something without that type of sauce, like the fettuccini."

Review 29 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"Our waiter was overly attentive to the point we wanted to tell him to leave us alone unless called. The salad was dripping in too much dressing. The lettuce was also wilted from being dressed too soon. I had Chicken Parmigiana. The chicken was excellent, as was the garlic bread and dipping sauce. The spaghetti that was served with it was too spicy for my taste. I did enjoy my gift of cheesecake for my birthday dessert, which was very good. There are other Italian restaurants that I like better, so I will probably not return."

"This place is much more unique and authentic than we were expecting. The price is great for the quality and quantity of the food. Very romantic because you can request to be in a private like dining area. We will miss county line, but glad that a good eatery was able to replace it."

Review 42 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"I was so impressed with Gabriella's, and now I'm totally obsessed. Our server was incredibly attentive and told us all about how everything at the restaurant is made from scratch and gushed about how good it is. I like that she is proud of the restaurant where she works. We had one of the individual dining rooms (it was my birthday) and we were so amazed at the selection. The salad was incredible and that bread with the dipping sauce is like no other. My daughter had the tilapia and couldn't rave enough about how good it was. My son and I split a pizza and still had to take some home. The crust was hand-tossed and they ship the flour in for the dough. You can definitely tell the difference between their pizza and other chains."

Review 44 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"This was our first visit to the restaurant. We told our server at the end of the meal that we have found our new favorite italian restaurant. The food was outstanding as was the service. We had our grandson with us, and we will be back with him. The server was very understanding and very kind to our grandson. We were seated in one of the small rooms, and it worked perfectly with a 3 year old. We will be recommending this restaurant to everyone."

Review 47 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"We made a reservation through open table but got there early and had a drink in the bar. Very good selection of draft beers. Beers could have been a bit colder. Once seated, the service was excellent. Bread came quickly as did our salads. Little neck clams and linguine was great with its unigue sauce. My wife had the tortellini with chicken with a white sauce which was very light and not heavy or greasy at all. Very good flavor. Overall, we loved the place!"

Review 48 for Gabriella's Italian Grill & Pizzeria
"My wife and I both agree that this is the best Italian restaurant we've ever been to. Every bite of everything we ordered was fabulous, and the prices are moderate (making it a bargain). Not only was the table service excellent, the bar staff made an additional wine recommendation that was perfect. This was the best idea anyone could've ever had for the former Kentucky Club / County Line location. We cannot WAIT to go back!"
