There’s so much richness in Italian cuisine, a restaurateur could be forgiven for trying to serve it all. Mike Colombaro, however, decided to focus the cuisine of Gamerboni Restaurant exclusively on Italian seafood. Since opening his restaurant in 1986, Mike has perfected his signature dish: Casseruola di mare (casserole of the sea). “You get the different shellfish,” he explains, “and a tomato sauce, basil, olive oil…and the pasta, it’s made with the same sauce as the fish.”
If that’s not enough to lure you in, Gamerboni’s calamari and scallops will. Each dish is cooked with the finest attention to detail by an Italian-born chef, making diners feel like they’re vacationing along the Adriatic Coast. And if you get to chatting with Mike, he’ll let you in on his personal recommendations. “My favourite dish right now is called the linguine Gamberoni,” he shares. “It’s garlic linguine with just scallops over pasta, with garlic, olive oil, a touch of chilli.”
We go to Gamberoni a few times a year and it's always an amazing experience. Minestrone is the best in town and the seafood platter for two is just perfect - two kinds of fish, shrimp cooked two ways and the best calamari I've ever had. If you want something really special after dessert, ask Mike (the owner) for "his" coffee - it's espresso with some alcohol in it, not sure what kind, but just the perfect end for a perfect night out.
Such a great little place! My boyfriend and I eat out often and this is always a top pick when we're feeling like some good italian! Absolutely recommended!

Made new friends and after googling the restaurant i felt its my way to say thank you for my experience. The whole family are good people and they make you feel at home. Ate like a true Italian and lemme tell you coming from NYC i know my Italian food. Thank you guys my new spot grazie tanto.
on what was the last good day to golf it was my turn to treat the boys to dinner. ive heared great things about gamberonis so was just up yonge street decided to give it a try. they were busy on a tuesday night and i mean busy we had to wait in line for a short 5mins so i advise to make reservations. our server one of the sons new we were hungry and suggested an antipasto platter containing of a marinated seafood salad, grilled vegs, italian cold cuts marinated vegs and the best olives ive had in a while. he also suggested the wine of the week which he mentioned was great value. after a good start i told him to bring something out for us family style so we can all pick from. he brought out osso buko a veal shank stew which was so tender and tasty along with home made ravioli stuffed with squash in a rose sauce. we ate like kings. after a couple of great espressos i asked for the bill and since i didnt order anything was expecting a monster but was very impressed on how reasonable the bill was i mean a couple weeks before i spent double with the guys and wasnt satisfied as we were at gamberonis so i recommend gamberonis for a great meal. we had a soprano experience with the checkered table cloths the family speaking italian the four guys are entertainers all of them came to the table and laughed with us real movie experience without the movie tab. AMAZING!
