On our first date, my fiance and I went to Gambino Brothers Italian Restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal in a romantic, low-lit atmosphere. We were seated in a cozy booth and a candle on the table reinforced the mood. The restaurant itself is just right in size - not too big, not too small - giving customers a comfortable and homey experience.

Each dish is homemade and completely met my expectations for a delicious Italian meal. My personal favorite is chicken fettuccini alfredo. Freshly baked bread sticks are served to quell any rumbling hunger until the entree is brought out. Dinner entrees are priced from $10 to $15.

If you are looking for a more up-beat, lively experience, visit the restaurant on a Friday night for karaoke and drinks. They also serve lunch, which features a menu that includes even more reasonable prices. Their proportions for both lunch and dinner over-achieve the standard for the prices.

Thought you have tried it all? Gambino Brothers, located in the corner of the Sugar Mill Village Shopping Center, may not have shown up on your radar for restaurants to try. Go out and see if this small, local restaurant makes the list of your normal restaurant picks.
