What People Are Saying About Gavi Italian Restaurant

The Scene
Tables are close together and surrounded by walls covered with soccer paraphernalia. The cooks sport ball caps as they flip pasta over open flames. Energetic servers are knowledgeable and helpful. The conversational buzz is quieter at the outdoor tables and traffic in the mall lot is unobtrusive toward evening.
The Food
The smoked salmon a la Greca has the salty fish wrapped around eggplant and feta cheese with a heap of tasty spinach in the middle. The fabulous calamari crema floats in a creamy, white wine sauce balanced with lemon and spice. The veal
saltimbocca is fork-tender and served with proscuitto and kasseri cheeses. The lasagne, moist and complex, is loaded with spinach and riccota. You can add chicken to pastas like the mostaccioli serenata, which has mushrooms, spinach and a tang
of pepper in the wine sauce. The heavenly tiramisu is the house specialty, but the chocolate cannoli is also a must.

This restaurant always seems small and a bit crowded. But we always get great service and even better food. The prices are a little high but it's worth it.

Order the Calamari Crema Appetizer, Side salad with Creamy Italian (WOW), Veal Saltimbocca (Out of this world) If you dont like veal, get chicken or shrimp Saltimbocca but the Veal is phenominal. Then Tiramisu. You will have the best dinner ever. I Guarantee it. Don't deviate from this list. and you will have a 6 star experience.

My first trip to this place onLa Cholla on Sunday AM. It took 15 minutes to get coffee; 25 minutes to get an omelet after ordering. Wait staff was inattentive and made excuses about the shortage of staff. Who cares? I am paying good money for minimally adequate food and lousy service. was never even offered more coffee. Will not go back.
