Gabriel's Restaurant Gabriel’s Bar & Restaurant — a New York classic since 1991. We make all of our pastas, bread, desserts and uniquely flavored gelatos in house from scratch.

Serving authentic Italian cuisine steps from Central Park South with fine wines, timeless pastas, and warm hospitality. 🍷✨ Gabriel’s Menu consists of traditional Northern Italian dishes with an elevated American influenced contemporary touch. For three decades, we have continued the tradition of using only fresh ingredients and the highest quality of products. A NYT review from the early 90’s reflects on the true quality of our product: “None of the pastas are ordinary. Pappardelle tossed with a sauce made of rabbit, chanterelles and prunes is an explosion of flavor, the earthy richness of the mushrooms played against the strong sweetness of the prunes. Half-moons of pasta come filled with a mixture of spinach, pine nuts and aged ricotta. But the real winner here is homemade gnocchi, little dumplings so light they float into your mouth and down your throat before you even have time to chew…generosity tends to be the norm at Gabriel’s.” (Reichl, 1994)

Our kitchen is inspired by perfection, play, and creativity—combining tradition and finesse. The depth of flavors and the diversity of ingredients sets us apart from the rest, along with our relentless drive to satisfy our guests and deliver the products that they enjoy and savor daily. At Gabriel’s, you will find that our dishes carry a nostalgic feeling of the Northern Italian region and of American daily comfort—a unique blend of elegance and warmth.

A little Grub Street love for Gabriel’s 🍝🍷

Chloe Malle stopped in for dinner with her mother, Candice Bergen — Sancerre, corn-and-crab soup, spaghetti pomodoro, and even a custom bowl for Bruce. We love being part of the neighborhood routines that become New York traditions.

Thank you Grub Street and Chloe Malle 🥐 for including Gabriel’s in The Grub Street Diet.
