Formerly a Good Place to Eat

by TucsonJohnny

We took some house guests to Piazza Gavi for breakfast on Sunday. Although we don't go there for dinner any longer since the prices have gone up so much, it was convenient and breakfasts have usually been good.

After getting our beverages and menus, we sat for 15-20 minutes while our waiter obliviously walked by us. We finally asked a bus person to send him over, at which point he apologized and made up some excuses about being tied-up outside (not true).

Before we received our food, I noticed that a couple at a table next to us, who had arrived shortly after we did, was finishing their breakfast. When ours did arrive, one of our party was given an omelet with the wrong ingredients. It was taken away and replaced some time later with the correct one. Unfortunately it was burned and the party could only eat part of it. We mentioned it to our waiter but no adjustment was made.

This will be our last visit to Gavi for a while.

• Pros: Large portions
• Cons: Quality & Service not what they used to be

yummy calamari

by bettygurl2008

We were staying in Tucson for a few days and decided to try this place based on the reviews. I have to say the calamari was fabulous! Probably among the best I have ever tasted in my life. The duck, unfortunately, was dry and tough. The chicken rustico was good too. Not to tough with great flavor. If you get around to this place I would definitely suggest ordering the calamari. Perhaps we should have gone with one of the pastas for dinner

Gavi

by smith2015

My wife and I went to Gavis the other day and the food was great so we decided to go again today with our kids. My wife went to use the bathroom and found out she had to go through the kitchen where they were making the food to get there. she saw a lasagna sitting on a small table right outside the bathroom and the floor was greasy and was just a gross mess. (let just say Gordon Ramsey would have a field day with that kitchen) even though the food was very good we are really not to keen on going there again.
