Gamberetti's Italian - Albany

My husband and I absolutely love Gamberetti's. The Beet and Avocado is always on point, and the pastas are generally good as well. However, within the last year I have found that the kitchen has an EXTREMELY heavy hand with the cracked black pepper in the pastas to the point that it is extremely unpleasant. I'm not sure why the kitchen feels the need to throw a handful of black pepper into every dish, it is definitely not how it would be done Italy by any means. I will continue to frequent Gamberetti's, however I will be sure to ask for no black pepper.

The wait was a tad long but our server was incredibly nice and repeatedly apologised for the wait.The food was amazing. The freshest Ceaser I’ve ever had and the Alfredo was angelic.Highly recommend if you enjoy Italian food.

Food was great, but very noisy table next to us upstairs loud with kids running everywhere. It was not busy as only 2 booths were occupied along with the two tables.Service was very poor, as we had to serve ourselves several times by finding a pitcher of water over on the table across the room to fill glasses twice. Asked for breadsticks, and server acknowledged but never returned with them. We were a quiet group of 8. I suggest NOT having small children upstairs because there is no barrier to keep them from falling down the flight of stairs!!The food was fabulous though!

For a dinner with family, Gamberetti’s was the perfect choice. The interior is rustic, yet refined. The atmosphere is casual, but classy. All of the staff seemed so welcoming and friendly, and patient as I took my time to peruse the menu. The descriptions of the choices we were served were spot on. •FYI: Best Bread Pudding ever• You can dine alfresco as well, at the bistro tables in front of the building. What a pleasant dining experience for this out of town visitor. ?

Went with group of eleven folks. Nine appeared to have decent meals. I had the skimpiest sausage/pepper soup. My pizza came when everyone else was finished and we’re boxing up food. In fact my pizza arrived in a take home box. I felt sorry for the poor server. He was embarrassed by the situation. I might return, but it will be sometime.
