Gambino’s Italian Cafe - King City, Oregon

Hands down the best I have had in recent times, we were a group of 6 and pretty much ordered variety of food and the food looked amazing. The page one on the menu says that they make food for the order and it takes time, but worth the wait. It’s a small place and may have to wait if you’re a larger group. The waitress was super hospitable and funny. I had the Dillinger’s Amore and also tasted the creme pastas, all great. Will try Pizzas next.

Gluten Free and Dairy Free options are available and the waitress got the pasta box to make sure the GF pasta was also DF for a friend.

Must visit if you work or live close to King City, Tigard.

What a little gem this turned out to be! I’ve been wanting to eat Italian food for a while and this little spot was on my list. Its quaint atmosphere compliments the menu so well along with a service that checked all the boxes too. So the next time you’re in King City, and crave a simple Italian meal, give the little place a try.
And, as always, remember to support small or local businesses!

The food at Gambino’s was absolutely excellent—full of flavor and perfectly satisfying! Our waitress was amazing and helped us pick the perfect dishes, which paired wonderfully with the wine we ordered. Everything was top-notch and exceeded my expectations.

The only downside was the slot machines right at the entrance. I understand it’s a bar, but it gave off a trashy vibe as soon as we walked in.

Thankfully, the incredible food and service more than made up for it. I’d definitely recommend Gambino’s for the dining experience alone!

Yay!!! This morning, I suddenly craved something creamy, so I stopped by a nearby Italian café—wow, it’s amazing! It’s rich yet not too heavy, perfectly balanced and clean. It's truly a hidden gem! I can’t believe such a delicious spot is so close to the city, and I’m excited that I discovered it today!
Mine is Zuppa Toscana Soup of Bowl(it's come with garlic cheese bread). And my hubby had Spaghrtti with meat sauce(add meat ball). Both brilliant choices!

So I have been living pretty close to this place for 6 months and today I finally popped in for lunch to check it out and I am SO HAPPY that I did!!! Hands down one of the best experiences I have ever had at a restaurant!! My service was great!! The bar tender was attentive and friendly but not overwhelming! My food was absolutely fantastic!! Honestly better than I expected! I am a big Italian food kinda guy and these guys knock it out of the park! I will definitely be back soon! Also the atmosphere is relaxing

Cute little place with absolutely amazing food in a strip mall. What a great find. Everything was wonderful! We started with the garlic parmesan potato crisps which were indeed crispy and garlicky and so yummy! What a great start to a meal. I got the half Caesar salad with lots of yummy grilled chicken & fresh grated parm. It was so tasty though a bit over-dressed and was plenty big for me. The croutons, which I would normally just remove: incredible!! You have to try them to know what I mean. We had the Scarface Capone pizza with Canadian Bacon, Pepperoni and Italian Sausage. It was cheesy and delicious. I’m not sure, but it had the look of a pizza cooked in a pizza oven. Really very nice. We also had the spaghetti with meat sauce which was quite tasty, well seasoned and served with garlic cheese bread - so, so good! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was exceptional including the service.
We went at opening at 11am and were the only patrons at that time. I believe we were served by the owner’s daughter who couldn’t have been more patient to 1st timers with questions and she was so friendly! She did let us know they get very crowded in the evenings but they do accept reservations. She suggested next time we try the fried ravioli which is 1 one large deep fried ravioli filled with cheese and served with marinara sauce. Since all the dishes we tried were amazingly good, we will be back to try everything else on the menu including that fried ravioli!
I very highly recommend Gambino’s to anyone looking for a moderately priced, comfortable Italian restaurant with great tasting Italian food.
21 & over only because they have Oregon Lottery Games.

Gambino's was recommended to us for the excellent food and didn't disappoint.
They give you very generous portions and the service was friendly and attentive.
The wedge salad was incredible and huge in my opinion.
The spaghetti and meat sauce was delicious and yes you can add meatballs (there is one buried there)
The Lucky Luciano pizza was fantastic, using the basil sauce is a great idea. La Estate’ Pasta is delicious.
Although completely satisfied after dinner we made the sacrifice to finish off with the Deconstructed Cannoli.

That's all for now. Time to enjoy a few leftovers from our feast 😋

We've been looking for a good local Italian place for awhile and I thing we've finally found it. We started with the deep fried ravioli (which was incredible on its own), then for our entrees we ordered the chicken and eggplant parm, both were hot and tasted great.

Service was also great and we really enjoyed the cozier vibe. We'll definitely be coming back to try the other menu items!
