    Delicious!! So many delicious dishes to choose from and generous portions. The weather was perfect for outdoor seating. We were a party of 6 and the only issue we had was that 3 of us ordered the house Cabernet and Chianti and were charged $18 and $20 per glass. To be fair, the restaurant was understaffed that night and when brought to the attention of our wait staff the charges were corrected. Just a reminder to check your bill.

    Food and service was great. The young hostess was not very attentive upon entry. I dropped my wife off, who went inside to confirm our reservation. The female hostess ignored her even though she was right in front of her. Someone else finally came to assist. The table server was great, and the manager was also great.

    Love the food! Waiter was good but he seemed rushed and we had to get his attention for drinks. Also our water was not refilled. That being said this is one my favorite restaurants in Tucson. The Lemon Sorbetto is to die for!

    It was a little disappointing because it had the ambience of a sports bar. Did not expect that. We had an inexperienced waitress who first greeted us and then disappeared for at least 10 minutes. We were very close to leaving. Her demeanor was very robotic didn't ask how we were doing why we were there if there was a special occasion which there was it was our anniversary which we stated on the reservation online. My wife and I basically felt we got the bare minimum of service. Food was okay. The bread served to us was ice cold...strange. I also got the feeling that since we are only a party of two we did not get as much attention that's a shame. Do not plan on coming back.

    You would think based on where the restaurant is and surroundings it was the greatest at all. Disappointed by flavor, service and lack of management of the place. Not worth the dollars spent.

    We celebrated my husband’s’s birthday with friends here last night. We all had outstanding meals. The menu choices should please everyone because they are so extensive. I had the pescatore and split the Sicilian salad with my husband. He had a spicy shrimp and scallop special. All was fabulous. Our friends had veal, chicken and pasta. They were very happy. We can’t wait to go back.

    We come to Gavi every year for my birthday and my son's birthday. We've always had wonderful service and a free birthday dessert offer. This year the service was ok, but not the warm and responsive service we've had in the past and no mention of a birthday dessert. While dessert was not a deal breaker, we just didn't feel welcome.

    Food was good, as usual. We were stuck in a corner and it was hard to hear each other. Server was slow and inattentive. He looked overworked and eager to go home. We weren’t asked about dessert. Disappointed, not what we’ve experienced in the past.

    Sorry for late review. We spent a few days in Tucson and had a great dinner here. Huge portions, very reasonably priced (my husband and I could have shared a meal). Great service. Good bar options. Will definitely visit again while in Tucson. Very convenient -within a mile from where we stayed at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort.

    Server got off on wrong foot by seating us and then ignoring us for 15 minutes or so. After we observed him eating instead of taking our drink order, he noticed that we were not happy. That annoyed him with the result being that he was purposely brusque around our table and broke my glass of beer while pouring water leading to the soaking (and staining) of my leather shoes. No apology. No comping of any type, including the replacement of my beer. When leaving, the manager acknowledged the problem, but offered no remedy (we did not think we should need to ask for one). My 3 stars overall was given because the food and general ambience of the restaurant was good, and people do have bad days. Still, that should not happen, and if it does the restaurant should take steps to remedy it. They didn't.

    The pizza is my favorite in all of Tucson ! Like New York City pizza but better. I like to split it with a friend for happy hour along with a draft beer or vodka martini. I take all of my guests there. The regular menu is wonderful and dishes are easily splittable. The house salad and dressing are delicious. Everything I have ever ordered is delicious. I have been going there since they opened over 20 years ago.

    As always, Gavi’s was very enjoyable & delicious. Either our waiter was stretched too thin - or he just wasn’t efficient enough to handle the tables he’d been assigned. He was NOT very attentive, we had to flag him down or send another waiter to look for him. And the fact that he was largely UNapologetic 🤷🏼‍♀️. We WILL come back to Gavi’s again but hope that we don’t get that particular waiter.

    Always look forward to dining at Gavi's. It was a Girls Night Out - Reservation was ready, table as requested in fairly quite area was honored, and on time. Manny our server was outstanding. Food was nicely presented and delicious but always too large portions for us so we share or take home some.

    Recently rediscovered Gavi after having a couple of mediocre meals several years ago. Not sure if new ownership or new chef, but have been several times this month and our food and service have been exceptional. It's now our go-to Italian restaurant on the eastside.

    Our waiter was attentive and great fun! The drinks and food came out in good time and all was delicious. There have been times in the past where the service was horribly slow, taking 2 hours to get our food, but on this visit the restaurant was crammed full on a Friday night, and everything was running smoothly. We really enjoyed everything and will definitely come back again. The power went out for a few minutes and everyone was calm and still enjoying themselves because we were having a monsoon storm and it's not unexpected to happen now and then. The staff were calm and helpful, we turned on our cell phone flashlights. We had already paid, so we left while power was off, and saw that it turned back on while we were getting to our car.
