    A friend made this recommendation so I gathered a couple of Foodie friends to give it a try. The location gives most people pause because this place has never had a typical restaurant. Well, Sparks can be proud they decided to make Sparks their new home. It is casual, but not a "sports bar" casual. The menu is extensive we all decided to try the Italian dinners. The Scampi was tender and flavorful, the Chicken Piccata was also tender and flavorful, and last but not least the Pasta Pescatore was equally as flavorful. Our only complaint was a dinner salad should be included and some toasted bread. Don't hesitate to give them a try, we will be back, Welcome to Sparks.

    Good place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Newly moved to this location so business is not booming yet, but it might not take long once the word gets out. Food was really good and at a reasonable price. Service was excellent. I highly recommend "Gambi's".

    We had dined at the old location and were eager to try the new location. We really liked this restaurant and hoped the new one would live up to our expectations. It certainly did! Super fun place with great food and service. We were there on Valentines Day and they brought around a roses and champagne. Such a nice touch. The pirate theme of the place carried over from the old on and is even better! Great job be the owners to improve on an already fun and enjoyable experience. Chicken parm and lasagna were excellent! We will be back soon

    Husband and I are foodies and we have no faith in Reno restaurants….THIS PLACE CHANGED MY MIND!!! EAT HERE ASAP!!!!!!!!! Did I mention they have only been open for 4 days!!!!! This food was delicious from beginning to end. The appetizers for me that were FIRE was the coconut shrimp——can I get 1000 of those succulent gems? Sauce to dip SO DELICIOUS!! I ordered the special of the night which was swordfish and it was so perfectly cooked!!! I was scared to try the risotto but was pleasantly pleased with it and would like to have had some in a to go box…however not one bite was left to take home 🤣🤣🤣🫨🫨🫨 Sooooo good and a chipotle sauce to top. My hubby got the chicken masala and I think I told him 4 times “that’s a great Marsala sauce” and those are rare words from me! I love this spot. We will be going here frequently!!!! KID FRIENDLY!!!! We visited on Valentine’s and they gave me a Rose and complimentary champagne. Owners and managers were on top of their game and service. As someone who ran fine dining front of the house hosting for 20+ years this restaurant has it going on!!!! Thank you for a great dining experience and meal!

    We scheduled reservations through OpenTable and when we got there, the restaurant is no longer open and was totally moved out of the building. Of course, we drove all the way across town, then it was a Friday night, so couldn’t get reservations anywhere else close.

    I have never had a better lasagna bolognese. Service was outstanding. We'll be coming back but probably not for a while with the road construction. We live in Sierra Canyon.
