Gumba's Italian - Sunnyvale

Come here for the food- seriously it's good. The ambience- not so much. I made a reservation, but it was not needed, maybe because Saturday lunch is not busy. It was a nice day, and we sat outside, which worked out well because the inside is dark and very outdated. Each meal comes with salad, main and ice cream for dessert. To start, we got the cheesy garlic bread to share, it was perfectly soft, but had a crunch. I got the cajun rigatoni with chicken and it did not disappoint. I would definitely get it again. One friend got the chicken alfredo and enjoyed it, other I can't recall. However service was a bit slow, so if you're in a rush, rethink visiting here. You should try this place out, if you're in the mood for a great Italian meal.

I tried their breakfast and it is delicious . Nice shaded outside sitting area. Service is very good. I had veggie omelette. I believe they also do hot water and coffee refills for free.

Delish! Carbonara, Calzone, chicken Parm OH MY! Having a nice dining experience with cute table lights, on the Parklett!

6 course seafood meal for $22? Get out of here! We have come here many times before, always with a Groupon. Memorable because the $50 Groupon was incredibly restrictive: no steaks, no seafood, no veal, and no salad appetizers. This includes pasta dishes with seafood like shrimp. Ended up having to order 3 dishes of pasta and/or pizza to make it to $50 for two people, rendering the Groupon overordering. Today's deal was good on Monday-Thursday before 6pm. Got here just before 6pm on a Thursday. Both of us ordered the blackened catfish at $22. Service is good, and ambiance excellent. Too cold to sit outside. Meal came with bowl of chowder or minestrone. Chowder was OK, creamy but not a whole lot of clams. Three pieces of buttered toasted bread, along with vegetables, and pasta. Each main entree came with the three filets of blackened catfish, with tartar sauce. Catfish was decent, with just enough powdered spice on the outside to liven up the otherwise bland white fish. Afterwards a scoop of ice cream, just what I needed on a cold March evening. You can still get the six course blackened catfish dinner in December, but it will cost you $28. First and only time wife and I went to Gumbos without a Groupon.

I was pleasantly surprised at Gumba 's. It 's a neighborhood Italian place with tasty food. The minestrone and clam chowder were surprisingly my excellent. 'Home made ' per the waiter. Pizza was just the type I like with a thinner crust and slightly crispy. Garlic bread great. Chicken parm sandwich was a little too cheesy but delicious. Calzone spot on.
