Gabby’s Italian Bistro

We LOVE LOVE LOVE Gabby’s. The staff are very friendly and remember who we are which makes us feel right at home. The décor is fantastic as well. Most importantly the food is FANTASTIC! We have never had a bad meal at Gabby’s. The food is unique, favorable and plentiful. Soup/​salad as well as some of the best bread ever comes with your entrée. Sandwiches are served on the same great bread. Everything is homemade also! You CANNOT go wrong with Gabby’s. It’s a hidden jem you should try.

I’ve actually never been here, and don’t live in the area, so I probably will never go. However, I was at a party where a loaf of their bread was served and it was absolutely incredible. If you go, please ask to try the bread in a brown bag, they should hopefully know what you mean.

Ate there last nite. Something happened to their quality. Its a shame. I used to love going there for the chicken parm, but last nite was a huge disappointment. Not sure Ill go back. I must say our waiter was new and he was very attentive.

Stopped here for a late lunch. We had a large pizza with mushrooms and onions. The pizza was very good. The slices were large and the crust was great too. It is hard to find good pizza in Central PA. Our waiter was very nice. I would go there again if I am in the area. We enjoyed it! It was a nice atmosphere and reasonably priced.

I wanted to give my best friend a great bridal shower, but I live two hours away so my house was out. Planning with Gabby’s from a distance was easy. I emailed back and forth with Laura to plan the menu and the basics of the event. She took care of everything we needed. We showed up on Saturday and the room was arranged and decorated. The food – including special orders for two gluten free guests – was ready right on time and won rave reviews from the various family and friends in attendance. (We even had some converts to the cult of pepperoni rolls, which are probably my favorite item Chef Marco makes.) The event was a huge success, it was reasonably priced, and everyone enjoyed it! The bride’s family is also having the rehearsal dinner at Gabby’s and after this preview, she’s really excited for it.
Full disclosure – I’m related to the folks behind this restaurant – but if you’re from Lebanon County, I am probably related to you too.

Great Italian food! Great pizza. Great sauce.
This bistro is a gem in Lebanon.
The food is fresh, and you can tell.
The bread is very soft but perfectly crispy on the outside. This goes for the garlic knots, the chicken or sausage rolls, and the pizza.
The red sauce is perfect. Thick, deep red, and spiced just right.
The service is quaint, but very friendly and attentive, and they LOVE their food.
They recently expanded their dining area into a romantic, deep colored room, lit only by strung lights. It can hold parties of all types.
They also claim to deliver afar off — Annville, Schaefferstown. You can’t beat that!

Not great. We went at 2m and while the take out was going fast and furious, there was only one other eat in table occupied. It took nearly half an hour to get our soups and it was cold. It took an hour to get our entrees. The ravioli was dry and seemed to have come out of a box. The carabonara was okay but very fatty bacon. There was very little garlic to be tasted on the garlic bread. The waitress was great but it was obvious the kitchen held the eat in guests as very low priority. There are dozens of Italian places around Lebanon and even the middle-​of-​the-​road places do a better job than this. Problem is, the prices are more on par with top-​of-​the-​line places like Napoli in Anneville. My advice: find yourself an A&M Pizza chain, save your self the money, and still get better food.

Nice, relaxing atmosphere. Great food at reasonable prices! Large selection of desserts! I had the limoncello flute which is refreshingly awesome! Went with friends after work but will definite BYOB with the hubby in the future! They also deliver which is nice! Staff is friendly too!

This place was a pleasant surprise for Lebanon. I was nervous to try this place because the majority of Italian food around here is a J-​O-​K-​E. I have tried their fried ravioli which was not greasy at all and came with a red marinara that impressed me. I have also tried a blackened chicken alfredo dish, margarita & white pizza and everything was really good. The house italian dressing is really good, but the best thing is the home made bread… it is up there with the best bread i have ever had in my entire life!
