Gypsies is a Italian staple for the entire bay area. All sauces are made from scratch we usually get the chicken Alfredo or salmon Alfredo and decided to go with a customer recommendation of the beef Bolognese and have been getting it ever sense. It’s really just raviolis they also have a ravioli Alfredo that you can add chicken to. Do not sleep on this gem order what you can afford. You can turn any one of the meals on the menu into a combo which is a soda plus a salad not to exceed 15.99$!!! Don’t be afraid to double park like everyone else.

They have a good variety of different dishes to choose from. The food was so delicious! It is now one of my favorite pasta places. I tried their chicken gnocchi. The restaurant has plenty of seating and was clean. The prices were also very reasonable! I will definitely be coming back.

My first time here and I am so SUPRISED by the portion size. I DID NOT expect to get that much pasta and I ended up packing it up and eating it for dinner. The wait wasn’t that long and it was soooow worth the price

UPDATE 3/22: Excellent service, great prices and delicious food. My wife found this spot and took me here the 1st time because the owners are from New York and that's where we are from. Well this place did not disappoint. Tonight was the 2nd time we went and we enjoyed everything we had. We will continue to be customers here!! Very delicious... everything was hot

This spot had a charming ambiance, with adorable lamps and chairs that immediately caught my eye. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which I’d rate a solid 8.6/10. The portion was generous, and they didn’t skimp on the meatballs. It also came with garlic bread, which was a standout—the roasted garlic spread on the bread was incredible. My boyfriend tried the gnocchi primavera, but unfortunately, it was a disappointment at 4.8/10. The gnocchi was overly soft, and the dish was overloaded with olives that had an off-putting metallic taste, which overshadowed the other flavors. The service was straightforward—nothing notable, just taking orders and delivering food. One downside was the extra $1 charge per item for card payments, which felt unnecessary. Overall, it’s a nice spot with good food, especially the spaghetti and garlic bread. I’d recommend it if you’re in the area and feeling hungry, but perhaps skip the gnocchi.
