★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I have to give this place 5 starsMy first time eating here. First of all this tasted way better than the other Italian place I tried in Edgewater recently that was double the cost. Prices here extremely reasonable and flavor was all great. Service was very good, I absolutely loved the vibe here- dim lighting and someone playing some beautiful piano. Simple menu with all the classics plus a nice selection of specials . Desserts were delicious ! This will definitely become a regular date night spot for me .
August 15 · Stefanie D⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A true Italian-American treasure — timeless, soulful, and deliciousGP’s Restaurant in Guttenberg is more than a neighborhood favorite — it’s a national treasure of Italo Americana that deserves to be on every food lover’s radar.Tucked into the ground floor of a converted home in a quiet residential neighborhood, GP’s delivers the kind of warmth and flavor that can only come from generations of family ownership and loyal regulars. With red-and-white tablecloths, low lighting, and NYC-inspired Italian-American images on the walls, the ambiance feels both nostalgic and intimate — like you’ve stepped into a classic that’s been lovingly preserved.The meal begins with a thoughtful touch: complimentary warm bread and butter, perfect alongside their fresh, crisp house salad. The menu offers a comforting lineup of Italian-American staples — baked pastas, crowd-pleasing appetizers, chicken, veal, pork, steak, and seafood — all done right. The standout? An incredible veal parmigiana, generously portioned, perfectly crisped, and richly sauced. It’s the kind of dish that leaves an impression. And don’t miss the tiramisu — airy, luscious, and indulgent.There are nightly specials, too — inventive, modern spins on classic ingredients and traditions, with some dishes pushing into entirely new territory while staying grounded in Italian-American soul.Service is warm, familial, and consistent — just like the food. House wines served in carafes are accessibly priced and pair beautifully with the menu. Whether you’re a local or visiting from out of town, this is the kind of place where you’re made to feel like a regular.GP’s is everything a neighborhood restaurant should be — and more. Cozy, honest, flavorful, and proudly rooted in tradition. It should absolutely be a stop for any tourist looking to experience authentic Italian-American dining at its very best.
July 10 · Ray BiancoWent to GP's for the first time last week and it was fantastic. Everyone was very polite and made us feel welcome. The soft music in the background was wonderful. This is truly a cozy Italian restaurant. We started with two glasses of red wine and the meatballs as an appetizer and both were delicious. We were also served a generous salad and warm soft bread. Both were excellent. Then I had the chicken Parm and my wife had the chicken scampi and both dishes were as good as it gets. Hats off to the chefs. We finished up with coffee and mouth watering Lemoncelo cake. Lastly, the service was outstanding and the total bill was more than reasonable. We will definitely be back many more times.
July 27 · Michael OI came here for the first time a few nights ago and just want to say I’m incredibly impressed. Their food is one of the BEST I’ve think I’ve ever had. The bread, salad, mozzarella sticks, chicken parm are to die for. But I have to brag about that limoncello mascarpone cheesecake, that was a slice of cake made in heaven!! Absolutely love their food, the atmosphere was intimate, and the service was impeccable. The waiters were so kind and attentive to us. Overall amazing experience and I will be back!! 🥰
January 05 · Leslie CabrejaThis is by far the best and most authentic Italian I have ever had. Old school feel, with live piano music. Felt like a mob hit could take place at any moment, just kidding. Top notch place, can't wait to come back.
