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!

We stopped in Gambaretti's for a late lunch in Albany. There weren't many places open on Sunday and this was one of them that was. We arrived around 4:00. We ordered cocktails to start, a grapefruit martini and a lemoncello lemon drop. Both were good. We had antipasto of marinara garlic bread to start and it was good. My husband ordered the fish of the day which was the catfish breaded and fried and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was really good but he was not a fan of the catfish, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. I had the insalata caprese and it was very good. When we got here it was not very full but it's been filling up a lot since we sat down. The downtown needs more activity.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.

Really good food, very stylish interior... casual mellow atmosphere. Good menu to explore and try something new. The place to go for Italian Food in Albany.Parking: Free Parking Lot across the street.
