I have to disagree with the previous poster. Gabriella's presents a more faithful rendition of the type of food that you would find in Italy. Anyone who has ever been to any city in Italy would know that Italians eat their bread unadorned with a greasy and garlicky concoction know in the US as garlic bread.\r

Gabriella's makes their own crusty bread, which is very good in its simplicity. I love their spaghetti alle vongele which is graced with about a dozen littleneck clams. Their fettucine alfredo is also authentic. I cannot fault the place. As someone who has been to terrific Italian restaurants in Venice, Rome, Florence, Naples, New York and Philadelphia, I regularly choose Gabriella's when eating Italian food in Harrisburg.
Pros: Authentic Italian food, Good bread, BYO
Cons: Does not accept credit cards
