What a great find! I loved this place. It was pretty easy to get a reservation last minute on a Saturday and everything was delicious. It was a little dark but other than that it was the perfect Saturday night date spot. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Fast service and they staff was nice. Drinks were tasty too! If you’re looking for a reasonable Italian spot downtown this is it! Definitely will go back.

Great restaurant on a quiet street. Delicious food from the bread to the desserts. Staff friendly. A bit on the noisy side with the music and crowd. They also can accommodate large groups. There are specialty drink options available.

This place is awesome! Ambiance is cute, food is delicious, but it was the service that really made the big difference. Everyone on staff was so on point, friendly, and attentive. They really seemed to be working hard and enjoying themselves as well which made the experience all the more memorable. It sort of feels like the different parts of the restaurants have different vibes- in a good way. The very back feels airy but also like a party spot, the booths are comfy, the bar area seems like it would be a good spot to sit and meet someone, and the outside up front is very cute and charming. Your ambiance would depend on which part of the restaurant you’re sitting in. The spicy calamari and the pesto pasta were my favorites, though truly everything was delicious!!!

My friend introduced me to this restaurant and I’m glad he did! It’s great place to get some Italian ears in a cozy setting! It’s got booths in the middle and a nice dining area in the back with a sun roof. I highly recommend getting a table at the back! I love the cocktails here and have never had a bad one! It’s a fantastic spot to hang out with friends and the staff is great as always! Thanks for the good times Galli!

Had lunch here and loved it. Tried the calamari entree and pastas and everything was perfect. Portion sizes were just right, and the sauces were so flavourful. Service was top notch - our waitress made sure everything was fine a few times. Overall, highly recommended to try.

Very chic Italian spot with a beer garden. Upon entrance I was greeted with a smile upon entrance. I ordered the soup of the day-Shrimp Soup along with a Aperol Spritz. For my lunch dish, I ordered the Bolognese. All dishes were tasty and packed with lots of flavor. Will defiantly plan another visit.

Went for dinner and had the best penne vodka of my life! I highly recommend the bufula mozzarella as an appetizer. the dessert cheesecake was excellent as well. They have happy hour Monday through Friday until 7.
