In observance of Memorial Day, Gamba Ristorante will be closed on Monday as we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We are deeply grateful for their service and the freedoms they’ve protected. Wishing you a meaningful day spent with those you love as we reflect on what truly matters.

There’s something different about lunch when it’s done right.

Join us at Gamba Ristorante and slow down over something truly memorable—our Supremo di Petto di Pollo. A perfectly pan-roasted airline chicken breast, served over a rich roasted garlic potato and vegetable hash that brings every bite together.

Not your typical lunch… and not one you’ll want to miss.

There’s something special about lunch in the summertime—when the pace softens, the sun lingers, and every moment feels meant to be savored. Our new summer lunch menu has arrived, inviting you to slip away into the tranquil beauty of our courtyard and experience a more refined way to dine midday.

From the delicate balance of our Tonno Rosso alla Piastra—seared ahi tuna with jasmine rice, Asian pear, avocado, ginger soy dressing, and crisp shallots—to the comforting richness of our Milanese di Maiale, a perfectly pan-fried breaded pork tenderloin finished with lemon and EVOO, each dish is thoughtfully crafted to capture the season.

We look forward to welcoming you to a new way to do lunch at our ristorante—where every detail is designed to be enjoyed.
