Great place to hang out
Good price for food
Average portions
Amazing place to hang out with friend or family
Specially in the evenings have coffee with a view of Abu Dhabi sky like!!!
Must try -
Hazelnut latte - it’s layered and the taste is splendid!!!
French toast is good
Chicken roulade was so yumm!!
We visited the restaurant a few days ago. Ordered the Chicken Tenders for starters, the Halloumi fillet and a white sauce Penne pasta for our mains, and the Lemon Curacao as our drink. We were offered a complimentary bread basket too. Our server, Kamal, was the absolute best. He was polite and quick, with a good sense of humour and a friendly attitude. They have an outdoor seating area with amazing views of Abu Dhabi, perfect for cooler weathers. Would definitely recommend their pastas and the drinks.
Excellent ambience and great shisha. Nice flexibility to order food from other restaurants in the group. 10dhs valet is super helpful. Our server Kamaal made great recommendations and was very helpful throughout our stay.
Winters are here & places like casper and gambinis are a must visit 😊
Splendid view with delicious food & drinks.

Now that winter (a.k.a pleasant weather) is upon us, places like Casper & Gambini's are a must visit! Scrumptious food, fragrant sheesha and a splendid view is basically what you're missing out on if you do not head over there ASAP!
We ordered a grape-mint sheesha, a burrata salad, a pain perdu, an americano and a mint tea. The sheesha was the only let down as the smoke and flavor did not live up to the standards of the place. The pain perdu was a definite crowd pleaser! This is a dish that you must definitely order in case you head to C&G's. The burrata was creamy and heavenly! The balsamic dressing complimented the whole dish really well.
C&G's is an amazing date spot or even great for a fun family outdoors meal(cause the weather is calling for this right now!)!
We went on a saturday morning grabbed a quick breakfast. The food is deliciours the eggs were cooked to perfectio. And i loved the bread on both dishes. The salad was just diffrent kinds of lettuce which to me was a bit dull but the sauce was nice.
The ambiance was really nice unfortunately they didnt let us sit on the water side as they said they open it only in the afternoon and the ac is not very strong in that area so we will get hot. Too bad the view is beautiful.
The waiters were friendly and they played alon with my 3 year old.
We ordered also French fries for my son they were overcooked and dry for me but he ate them anyways.
Will definitely come again when the weather is nicer and sit by the water
Chicken Fajita Wrap was fresh but the taste was bit bland.We tried it with sauce .
C&G club sandwich was good but could be done better the bread was too hard to be chewed .
Kids liked their Margarita and Pepperoni Pizzas .Pizzas were freshly made and the tasted good as well .
We loved the ambience and in winters and they have seating arrangements to sit outside .
Best shisha and shisha support as per photo attached really well done and keep it up.
Nice atmosphere and view, staff are very nice and helpful, and their food is good too, overall it’s a very pleasant experience and i would go their for a third time
I absolutely loved this place! The food here is mind-blowing, the staff are so lovely and the ambience is beautiful. This place is a must try!

Coming to Abu Dhabi after 1 year, I felt good about coming to this place.. the ambience, the staff everything was good..the food I would tell was above average but I felt it was not up to what I expected with what it mentioned.. however in the end it is a good place to visit ☺️💯
Food was good, staff was attentive and efficient. It’s a great place for lunch, to relax and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view. Prices are higher than on the menu on zomato though: a salad is around 60 aed.
Awesome location with yummiest crossiansandwich. It was fresh and bursting with flavors. Great experience, looking forward to have more.. service need to be more efficient. Overall it’s a good place. Breakfast options are quite less, they should expand the menu as well.
The place is so nice and perfect for a family dinner. I love the pesto pasta. I truly appreciate the friendly, accommodating staff, Rose who cheerfully assisted us in the menu. We'll definitely visit the place again😊
Casper & Gambini’s are one of my favorite places in Abu Dhabi. They have an indoor seating area which is beautifully designed and an outdoor one looking over a fascinating view. Their strawberry mojito is out of this world, their burger is soo tasty I don’t think I’ve tasted anything similar before. Their desserts are fine and service is extremely good. They are a part of zomato gold as well so that is always a bonus!
Cozy and lovely place. Friendly staff. A good cafe if you wish to enjoy the beach vibes and get yourself some snacks and coffee. Will definitely take my friends to visit this place again.
Good shisha, good food, I love their philly cheese steak and sliders. The breakfast menu can be improved, the hash browns were bad, not the classic one.
We really keep coming back to this place, the food is delicious, the sushi, Burger, sandwiches and main entrees are all quite good. The tenderloin was slightly overcooked but it was still good.The area is beautiful in cooler temperature so that would add to the overall experience. Highly recommended for delivery and eating in.
One of the best places, i like the view and the staff the hygiene of the food and tools. Staff are friendly i would like to thank Osama,Eidy, and John 👍🏻Recommended ☺️🌸
Enjoyed the food choices and the ambiance of the restaurant, the food crew and their manager were nice and accommodating. This is a good place to try around the Marina area.
I love Casper !! Always beautiful experience and delish food I ordered pizza last time and I am not a big fan of pizza but it was sooo good.. I only faced few problems because place was really busy and I had to ask for the menu for 4 times until a Lebanese guy who was Casper’s representative approached and apologized.
Great place tucked away in the cozy part of Abu Dhabi Marina. During winters and evenings, you can get a table by sea and it is very calming. We had their gourmet sliders and a pomegranate cooler. Both were excellent.
So I was meeting some people for the first time but I needed a place to have dinner and shisha indoor as it is very hot nowadays and this place was a great choice they have a smoking area with very comfy couches and their food is delicious we tried the pizza and chicken mozzarella burger and pesto chicken pasta and two other chicken dishes and they were all good and the drinks were as well so overall it was a good night out with good food and nice ambience I will be back very soon.
I really love this place, it brings wonderful memories of my childhood in Lebanon, I highly recommend this place for all types of people.( plus amazing service)
As recommended by a friend, we dined at Casper & Gambini for dinner. Situated at Marina Village, it is the perfect place to be. The service was fast and efficient, in no time our food was on our table. For the starter we chose the hand rolled Sushis and it was good. for the mains we had the Casper’s Chicken Escalope which is a typical breaded chicken breast. The Seafood Risotto was great with generous amount of seafoods on it. And for the beverages they served it in a very good way with a separate container/shaker. This place is perfect for outdoor dining too. Recommended!

One of the lovely place. Is nice view, staff are very friendly. And the food is tasty, specially sweets. Definitely recommend this relaxing place)
Definitely one of the tastiest philly cheese steaks I’ve had ... definitely recommended .. nice outdoor seatings
They also offer some good sushi ...
Will definitely go again ..
Today ca.e accross this restaurant accidentally and fell in love with it instantly. They provide variety of cuisines in a classic, calm and pleasurable environment, indoors and outdoors. They serve breakfasts and desserts which very well competes with the top rated restaurant in near by locality. The staff were very professional, fast in meeting the demands and provided great hospitality.
I tried their levantine Cusine amd started with biscuits amd hard bread served along with shanklish as a dip, a salty cow milk cheese ball topped with thyme and olive oil. The taste itself gave me goosebumps.
2nd dish which i tried was Sea Bream Fillet:- Pan- seared sea bream fillet served with basmati rice along with beans, asparagus, architoke, baby tomatoes (fav part), olive oil and lemon garlic butter sauce. It was tempting, light and amazing.
I also tried their red velvet cake which absolutely delightful and rich in flavour.

It is always a good idea to dine outside the restaurant when its night time during winter as there is fire warmer outside coupled by a great Filipino server named Ken, he gave us recommendations too. For starters we had C&G Roll (my favorite) and Crispy Crazy, the size was just enough and rice was good. Also we had Crab and avocado salad, the greens on it was all complimenting but I almost felt that avocado was overpowered by other ingredients that it was barely there, the crab meat on top was also generous! For mains, Casper's Chicken Escalope, the typical battered chicken fillet nothing much really although it was moist. The part that I liked about it is the mash potato, creamy and seasoned well. Also, we had New Good Melt, patty was juicy and tasty. For drinks, Passion fruit Mojito and Ginger Mojito -- the latter was my personal pick, refreshing and thirst-quenching too and not sweet. For sweet ending, we had Bernadette's chocolate cake, warm fudgy soft ganache with vanilla ice cream, this is a must-try. Overall, I am satisfied with the experience and service although I think it is a bit overpriced. Moreover, the price list here in Zomato is not updated, I hope it will be sorted. Nonetheless, it was a special night.
We went while the weather is still great in Abu Dhabi , the view from this place is amazing, and tried the following dishes:
- nachos as a starter, wish was a good, the side dipping and the cheese on the freshly made nachos is good.
-seafood risotto: this dish was not good at all, worst dish i ever tasted, its like seafood and loooots of onions with heavy white cream.
- chicken pesto pasta: a lovely dish, a bit heavy but still good, needs little more salt.
- chicken mozzarella burger: great great
indeed.and some desserts and drinks.
Overall experience was amazing and fantastic and the staff were very friendly.
The weather was stunning, we chose sit outdoor, we ordered so many items.
The boys who took our order was very helpful in helping us to choose, the service was very fast and efficient in no time our food was over the table, well made, excellent taste we finished it all to level we left the plates shining 😜.
All the staff were very polite, once you lift your hand to ask for something many of them will be standing waiting for help.
My family enjoyed the time and food which is very important to me.Thank
Casper and Gambini’s THANK YOU 🙏.
Unfortunately I didn’t take photos coz I was busy with eating 😁
Great food and great service. Had the guacamole chicken burger, chicken quesadillas and sushi. Loved it all. Will definitely come back for more.

My husband and I had our anniversary lunch here earlier. It is still February so the weather is still very good. Not too hot nor too cold. However, it was noon time so the outside seating was still a bit hotter and sunnier. We sat inside and around us was big glass windows, so we still felt like the nature. Plus there was this real tree planted inside but fenced with glass wall too.
The ambiance of the place was cozy and homey like the cabins in Tahoe, USA. The structure was built on pine wood (or at least pine-looking one). I liked it that their ceiling was wood and clean, not painted black just like other restaurants. It felt comfortable here, relaxing and conducive for meet-ups.
The venue itself was a destination, it had ample parking, and near the breakwater. The view was amazing, by the sea itself overlooking the skyline of towers along Corniche.
The staffs were of different nationalities but having one common thing — warm, helpful and courteous. My bad I was not able to get their names except for Peter who took our photo.
While waiting for our order, we were served with munchies: bread and dip. Oh they were delicious! Then our starter was served, Mushroom Soup and Tomato and Basil Soup. They were served really hot and with wheat (brown?) bread/croutons but not salty. I had the Tomato soup, it was as expected and the portion was good enough for a hungry me.
Our mains were served few minutes later and they were their specialty, Wild Salmon and Sea Bream Fillet.
The Sea Bream was 2 large pieces served with saffron basmati rice, asparagus and cherry tomatoes. At first bite of the fish, I fell in love with it. It was not salty, it was medium rare that I can really taste freshness.
For the Wild Salmon, it was served with potatoes and bananas. I tried it and thought it was perfectly cooked too — not well done nor rare. Indeed, these are their specialties.
Lastly, we had bannoffee pie for dessert. It came in a short narrow glass with banana stuck on a stick. It was chilled. As always, the syrup was always the best. It had a bit of icecream on the first layer and pie on the 2nd.
I would consider this place to be on the expensive side . A great hack to eating at places like these are groupon vouchers . The food at this place is mind blowingly amazing. The highlight was the fruity red velvet cake . The ambience and interiors were great and the staff was super friendly
I ordered mozzarella kabab it was not up to expectation normal kabab and mozzarella on top of it .
Burger was avarege "nothing special" shrimp coscos was good choice .
Overall experince ambient, location, service and food i give 3.5 out of 5..
You will love this place if you love Italian food. We were served with complimentary bread and cheese first as a starter. It was truly magnifique.
We tried the Lasagne Bolognese- 3.5/5 - it was good and filling.
Seafood Risotto - 3/5 - it was yummy but again was not fond of the fishy taste due to calamari in the pasta
Mini Melt sliders - 4/5 - really enjoyed this one as I got to taste three different burgers. More like a starter than main course.
For Desserts we ordered
Red Velvet Cake - 4/5 - I would give it a 5/5 but I was a bit turned off by the sour fruit cherry sauce at the bottom of the cake. Otherwise the cake and cream cheese is a melt in the mouth
Bernadette’s Chocolate cake - 5/5 - this was recommended by our friendly host. Absolutely divine!!
Lovely place to dine by the view and eat some good old Italian food.

Nothing special to be honest! Very expensive food. Service is good enough. It was our first time there so can't judge about the flies invasion. Not recommended
Good food and a great view and ambience but the service is really bad. The waiters are inattentive and they take a very long time to respond
One of the best places for italian food and sushi, i have tried sandwiches, main course and salads all made perfectly. The sushi is perfect and very tastfull not a big verity but good enough. The prices are expensive so expect to pay a big bill.
I had lunch with my family on saturday there and we enjoyed the atmosphere and the view very much. I enjoyed the pasta arabiata with white sauce and mushroom soup both of them tasted delicious bt my husband ordered crispy chicken that had nothing special and for desert we had molten tart that was exquisite! In general i loved the place and everything but i hope next time the main course will meet our expectations more.
I like Casper & Gambini's because it reminds me of my college days in Lebanon. Their food is on point and their price point is reasonable if you consider how expensive restaurants in the UAE are these days. My favorite dishes include:
1) Sushi - Crispy Shrimp, Crispy California
2) Soup - Tomato Basil (fresh tomatoes)
3) Salad - Crab and Avocado
4) House Specials - Veal Escalope (amazing!)
My only criticism is the location. It's a bit far from central Abu Dhabi which doesn't make it a regular choice for my family and I. Other than that, I like Casper & Gambini's, it's a good restaurant with a lot of soul.

The gourmet sliders which is three different flavors of burgers,mediterranean with halloumi cheese, classic with provolone cheese and Mexican with avocado cream. It comes with French fries.Which one did I love the most? I honestly couldn't choose as all were just amazingly delicious 😋😋😋. I loved the flavors of each burger👌🏾. I asked for it to be cooked medium well so it was juicy 😋.Had to try their goat cheese salad which I absolutely loved. Am not a salad kind of person🙈 but when the salad is that good then yes am all for salad😃.It consists of goat cheese croutons, fresh beetroots, rocket leaves,cherry tomatoes, cucumber, toasted hazelnut & pine-nuts with balsamic vinaigrette😍. Yes I know your looking at the burger right behind the salad😂. That burger is recommended by them which is called a new good melt. I loved it too. It's an Australian beef with melted provolone cheese, onion, mushroom, rocket leaves and and tomato and it's served with French fries🙌🏾. The drink on the left is strawberry and banana smoothie and believe me when I say it's not your average strawberry and banana smoothie 😍. Bottom left picture is the classic pepperoni which is nice but I would recommend to go for burgers there. On the right is the spinach chicken salad which is grilled tender chicken breast,smoked turkey and emmental cheese slices, bacon strips, spinach,avocado and cherry tomatoes which was okay but I felt it lacked seasoning. If it had better seasoning I know I would of enjoyed it. This burger right here is the Tex-mex which is also made of Australian beef , jalapeño,guacamole,mature cheddar,tomato salsa and onion. Yes I loved the burger. Most of their burgers are quite delicious😋. Love this place , great service and great food.If it didn't make me drool it wouldn't be here👅. #theefoodiemonster #casperandgambinis #abudhabifoodies #abudhabifoodbloggers #uae
A cozy and rustic themed restaurant with a great ambiance. The staff make you feel comfortable and homely. The food is prepared fresh and tastes wonderful. Highly recommend 👍
We went there 2 times, there location and ambiance is good.
Thee food were delicious, we order lasagna bolognese, chicken escalope.
helpful and friendly staff, service was excellent.
Carries the Lebanese signature restaurant v. well, just like many other international places. The theme of adding an outdoor sheesha seating also makes it more welcoming for the sheesha lovers. I had my bday there, the staff including the general manager are so helpful and welcoming! :)
Great Ambiance. Lovely place. Food taste good too. But serving js bit small according to price. Its one of those too notch cafe's of Abu dhabi thats why pricey. Must visit.
Food 3.5/5
Ambiance 5/5
Value for money 3/5
The pizza I had was good, the paste taste well. Would not recommend to take the basic one, more elaborate is better but a bit overpriced. Overall I recommend.
We went there for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We got a very warm welcome from the staff. Service is excellent, as good as in a five star hotel. Food wise is standard quality, not too exciting.
Place is amazing with very helpful and attentive staff. The prawn & couscous salad was just perfect! And was also the perfect choice for a filling but healthy summer lunch. The portion was great, more than enough for two ladies! 😀
Yesteday it was our first visit to casper and gambini's and since the climate is hot and humid so the outdoor area will be closed. We order 2 shisha, four turkish coffee 2 deserts and 2 banana milk shake. We directly returned back the milk shake as it was with no taste. The shisha was Ok and the desserts were fine. In the beggining we thought that they have charged us for the returned milk shake and we wrote a review in Zomato for this issue but after that Mr.Osama (the cafe manager) called and clarified the issue that the milk shake was only mentioned in the bill with zero price. Thanks for the kind care and follow up.
We had our late dinner here last night with a friend and we enjoyed it a lot. When we came, we were already greeted and welcomed with their friendly staff helping us choose what to order as it was our first time. We ordered Shrimp Penne Arrabiata, (man, it was perfect! 👌) Caesar Salad, Calamari, Quesadillas, home made lemon ice tea, and great service - what an Excellent evening. Highly recommended.
Place location is perfect with valet parking and it's a good place to hangout or for a date food is very tastey sweets are perfect i recommend it and i would go again

The ambiance outdoor is wow. It's one of my top 10 restaurants in AUH. I always come here to destress myself. Food is good and the place is inviting.
Went here during the winter, the place has indoor and outdoor sitting. Corniche beach can be seen outdoor. Too bad it's winter and couldn't stay outside because of the dust. We ordered Mango Roll, Chicken Pesto, Passion Fruit Mojito, Caffe Mocha and gourmet mini sliders. Food was perfect specially the Mango Roll. They do have plenty of Makis to choose from which is great. Friendly staff! They even gave us free dessert which are Strawberry Tart and Apple Tart, i think. It's a must try!! ❤️
The manager of the restaurant is really perfect the taste of the food was prefect thank you and i really recommended the restaurant thank you Mr. osama you are really perfect manger for such restaurant
The place is perfect for outdoor dinning with the view of Corniche Beach. The food was great starting with there starters down to there desserts. The crew were nice and approchable they treat you like a VIP.. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 we had so much fun!!
Great location. I love this place since I started eating there when I was living in Beirut. I love their Santa Fe Chicken Salad and their Casper and Gambini's Escalope is fantastic😍 Usually very quiet and low- key. They serve shisha outside and ther service is good.
Nice location, nice view, friendly staff, average food, good service, bit pricey. Its worth to visit again. We ordered mini burgers and fajita warp, both was average.
The food is delicious and the ingredients are fresh. The location is great, outside seating is fantastic during the winter. The service could be improved.
Generally speaking, it is a lovely family and friends place to visit.
Love the location and view. The service is good as well as the food.i like their red velvet cake and the Philly cheese steak was yummy :)
Good place with a great view for bfast. I ordered a sandwich, omelette, fresh orange juice and cafe mocha,all tasted better than average but surely not exotic. Recommended mostly for the view and peaceful surroundings
Amazing location and views. Food was great, the sushi were yummy, the slider dish serves 3 different types which were great and tasty. We have ordered the Casper's chicken fillet which was just ok. The waiters were tough and not that friendly.

One fine weekend we were in abudabi to visit our relatives. There we thought to try this place. This place is opposite to marina mall. I have already tried it in jeddah as well. Over here they have lovely inside as well as outside sitting arrangement.
Its an italian restaurant who has sushi variety too.
We ordered casper's chicken escalope, crusted parmesan eggplants,lasagne bolognese and chicken fajita wrap. In drinks ice tea and orange juice.
Service was ok, after waiting like an hour our food arrived on the table. I liked chicken fajita wrap and lasagne bolognese. Although they have a fair margin of working on the taste of their dishes.
In dessert we ordered chocolate fondue which was a class. If I come back here again the location would be the only reason.
I love this place..it has a decent variety of delicious food and their desserts are super tasty! I like the fact that is not too crowded when i visit, staff are very friendly and prompt!
