    Absolutely loved this place. I was staying at the J Resort for a couple of nights and thought I would give it a shot as the menu on the website looked very good. I had the bison sliders as well as the dry aged rib eye. The streak was perfect. I also tried the smoked old fashioned and that that was great. Well done place the art on the wall is beautiful and worth checking out. Thanks for a great experience!

    Good food and prepared fairly quickly allowing us to dine and attend a performance at the theatre next door. Very convenient, the 2nd time we have chosen La Famiglia for dinner prior to the show.

    We were pleasantly surprised with the new Gambi’s location! The food was delicious and better than it was when they were in Somerset! The ambience was great with a player piano and it will definitely be one of our “go to’s” for an Italian meal and a bottle of red!
