About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals

Gabriel's Bar and Restaurant has been a NYC staple for over three decades. Gabriel's brings the quintessential flavors of Italy right to the heart of Manhattan. Established in 1991 by Gabriel Aiello, his restaurant is known for providing excellent service and great food throughout the years and being home of many famous personalities. With rare dedication towards his craft, Gabriel will still find time to greet you at the front of the house and make your experience memorable. Now at our new home at 40 Central Park South, we are proud to continue the same tradition, with the same sensibility and care.

    I am a 30 year customer. 30 years experiencing consistent excellence across the board. Gabriel and his sons have put this restaurant at the pinnacle of what fine dining can be. Not fussy. Not pretentious. Simply excellent in every way, every time, across 3 decades. Restaurants of this quality are few and far between.
