Our Team

Owner Gabrielle Mattina grew up on the West Side of Buffalo just a few blocks away from the Gypsy Parlor. After running restaurants and bars for other people it was time to open her own place. Gabrielle has always been in love with the old immigrant neighborhood. She combined this love for the neighborhood with her passion for mixing drinks and throwing parties. There hasn't been a bar like this on Grant street in a long time, Gabrielle has fulfilled her dreams and has made her contribution to the resurgence of the West Side by opening Gypsy Parlor- an ecletic, eccentric neighborhood bar where everyone and anyone is welcome! 

Behind the bar daily or in the kitchen, stop in today and get to know her personally.

Todd Mattina is the Co-owner of the Gypsy Parlor. Every gaudy inch of the bar/restaurant was restored or built by him. Todd is not only is a bad ass carpenter, he is also an amazing cook. He actually is the inventor of "The Stuffed Bread," a culinary masterpiece. Todd is all around brilliant. Come in and have a drink with the guy, or break something and watch how he magically fixes it.
