Wonderful spot with delicious cuisine and amazing staff! Our waitress Jill was the best - knowledgeable of the menu and very attentive. The drinks were incredible - especially the espresso martini! It was an amazing, memorable Valentines Day experience. Can’t wait to come back!
Celebrated a birthday lunch and wasn’t disappointed. Food was tasty and well cooked. drinks were amazing and the service was great! Sicilian Calamari, Buffalo chicken wrap, a bison burger with eggplant fries and a Cajun chicken flatbread sandwich. Can’t forget the drinks! Antique cash register which is pretty cool!
Gaetano's is absolutely fantastic! The food is always fresh, the service is friendly, and atmosphere feels welcoming.
Our second time back & nothing but fantastic! We came specifically in high hopes Reilly would be working. She is upbeat, attentive, and makes the best dessert martinis. Hands down one of our favorite town spots. Thank you Reilly
Jill is an amazing server very attentive and such a wonderful and friendly demeanor. Food was delicious. Espresso did the trick with dessert.
Had our company lunch at Gaetano’s Tavern on Main and it was amazing! Great food, great service, and an all-around awesome time. We’ll definitely be back!
A very pleasant experience I, my wife and Eddie( dog) had at Gaetano's Tavern. It was a beautiful afternoon with outdoor dining The service and food combined with the servers were superb. I am a conosier of whole belly clams and I have to say these were the BEST I've had in a long time. Sweet small and very tender not overcooked and the slaw was great. French fries were also golden fried and very tasty. If you love whole belly clams you will LOVE THESE. Try them. You'll love them!
My first time there. Great menu selection and great food. We shared the generously portioned appetizers of potato skins and fried zucchini. Burger were yummy. Will be back in the future and would recommend.
