At Tapas Gitana, waves of steam steeped in saffron, chorizo, and seafood stock rise from paella pans and dishes, featured on ABC's Hungry Hound, carry your palates away to Barcelona. Cold tapas twine ingredients such as avocado, Serrano ham, and Manchego cheese, and hot tapas exhibit tiger prawns that fuel the sharing and conversation of small-plate dining. You'll find the atmosphere invites you to relax, laugh and enjoy. Sit in a quiet corner and enjoy our live entertainment on Wednesday nights, or enjoy a pitcher of refreshing sangria and fresh air on our beautiful outdoor patio.

    Tried this place for the 1st time and fell in love with everything. We came on a cold winter night but we warmed ourselves with magnificent food and drink. Nice ambiance with Spanish decor.

    We tried a variety of tapas and each one was superb. Especially like the bacon wrapped dates and phenomenal seafood paella. Authentic sangria complemented nicely. Can't wait to return.

    Tapas Gitana is a gem. Amazing food, extensive variety of tapas, including lots of vegetarian and gluten free options. Warm environment and friendly service. I love supporting chef-owned restaurants and Chef Andrew Novak makes Tapas Gitana one of my favorite restaurants. His dedication to his craft is evident by how magnificent his food is. In a word, YUM.

    We had reservations and ended up being seated at a table near the door since we were told the other tables were reserved for others with reservations. Okay but not the best tapas place we’ve been to.

    I’ve been going here for probably twenty years. They food is very good and very consistent. I’d appreciate if they altered the menu once in a while but at least I know when I go it’ll be a good experience.
