Gamberetti's Italian Restaurant

Been looking forward to it but I have to give it 4 stars after all. Initial reception was off and it improved but didn't warrant 5. I had the beet salad, my friend had pasta. Beet salad was great. She said the pasta was good. We had bread pudding as a dessert and it was excellent. Never quite had anything like it prior. Also tried the flan. Again, excellent. At entry, we were seated at the bar per our request. We were the only ones at the bar. Restaurant was steady but not busy. Tuesday about 1pm in December 2022. Man and woman kind of bickered amongst themselves about who was going to take care of us and he actually voiced to us "trying to figure out who is going to take care of you". It wasn't in a friendly way like maybe one or the other was going on break or leaving but more like we were a hassle at that moment. 10 minutes or so went by. He approached and said he'd be with us in a moment. Another 10 minutes or so and we ordered our drinks. Kind of shouted the rest of our order across the bar as we couldn't really get eye contact or a good approach. Once we got it ordered, things came quick. Bartender was pleasing to the eyes but not overly friendly. Not rude, just not present in the scenario. I ordered coffee martini, it was great. He never asked me if I would like another once I finished it and when dinner came, I had to ask for water. Again, worthy of 4 stars but the reception was off-putting and just didn't really recover.

Nice little place in Albany. Good service. This was an excellent beet and avocado salad and adding the shrimp really made the dish. I don't come through Albany often but Gamberetti's will be at the top of the list the next time I do.Dine in: Yes

The place was nice, clean, the staff was very friendly. The food wasn't bad....but I didn't love it. The dessert was wonderful though!

Like every other restaurant, having trouble getting good servers and fresh produce. Food was brought out poorly timed, chicken was burned, and service was slow. Hoping that quality will get back to what it once was, and staff will get better training.Food: 3/5

Best restaurant in Albany that we've been to so far. Fantastic servers, excellent appetizers and incredible meals, cute and kitschy interior of the building, and decent prices. We had Chicken Gorgonzola and a Sausage dish with Marinara and pasta, and a garlic bread appetizer to die for. Worth twice the price! Be aware, family members think the menu is overpriced but we think the food is worth it.

We had eight people in our group and the service was good. The food was really yummy and we really enjoyed our selves.

The food literally took an hour to get to our table but overall the food was really good and we will be returning

First time there. Really nice restaurant and our waitress. We're there for our 15th anniversary. Meals were delicious.

Had a wonderful business dinner for seven. Seven different entrees and everyone loved the food. Has the baked sausage and pasta. Their pasta is perfect and everything else fell in line, so it was a great meal for all. Very nice selection of local wines as well.Food: 5/5

Great Italian food, service was friendly and prompt. Little wait time for a seating.Food: 4/5
