    The Truck
    Tiffany D.

    Another top-notch Italian food truck! Braulio's Bistro is located at Modesto Grub Hubs food truck park and they are serving up some of your favorite Italian dishes. The menu isn't too big but they do have a menu for lunch and a separate menu for dinner, the dinner menu has a bit more offerings. The prices are a little on the high side but the quality and taste of the food justifies those prices. I have been trying to come to this food truck for a month or so now but I'm usually in the area on the says they are closed which are Sunday through Tuesday. They also are only open for dinner on Saturdays from 4pm - 8pm. I happened to pass by during dinner hours on a Friday and immediately stopped. The dinner menu had a variety of items such as fettuccine alfredo, penne romano, penne pesto, shrimp linguini, chicken parmigiana, chicken marsala and many other pasta/chicken & fish dishes. They also had a kids menu, various sides and drinks. I decided against getting my basic fettuccine alfredo and instead got the penne pesto, I was told that the pesto is made daily and it's one of the most popular dishes on the menu. The penne pesto was so delicious, the sauce was creamy, nutty and had such a good flavor and was not too oily. The pasta was cooked to perfection and was topped with fresh parmesan and parsley. I definitely could taste that the pesto was made from scratch. The dish also came with fresh baked garlic bread that was so divine. It was light and airy, had the right amount of garlic flavor and tasted even better dipped in the pesto sauce. Overall, I'm so glad that I gave this place a try and I will be back when I'm in the area and craving pasta. I now have two amazing Italian food trucks that are my go-to in the Central Valley, Braulio's did not disappoint!

    Chicken Marsalla

    They do authentic Italian, better than many other. Really enjoyed it. Thx! It's not cheap but it is so much worth it.

    You are going to get restaurant sized portions from a food truck! Located with the permanent food truck parking lot just outside of downtown modesto, you can always find parking. The prices are steep, but it is so worth it! High quality ingredients and choices for protein. Everything I have received to date has been fabulous, and we had so much food we had to finish it the next day. Even reheated the flavors were on point. Not pictured with my review was the chicken piccata w mashed potatoes and seasoned sautéed vegetables. The capers and sauce were so creamy good, and the veggies!!! The veggies perfectly cooked IMO!! The pesto is perfect and ample, no hunting for more, you get it all. High quality protein choices, next time I want to try the shrimp! Worth a visit, you never know how long a food truck will be around. Treat those taste buds today.

    The shrimp Alfredo is so greasy like half of the bowl was filled with it and my shrimp was mushy.

    Zero color in the "sautéd" mushrooms. Zero color in the sauce. This is cream and broth.

    Huge disappointment. The chicken Marsala has zero Marsala taste. Watery. Cold. The chicken piccata is the same sauce with no lemon flavor. Also watery . Cold. I knew we were in trouble when the garlic bread wasn't even good. Vegetables weren't properly cooked. This was a rushed meal for $40 . Will not be returning to try the Cajun chicken pasta. Left a comment on social media and they blocked me Instead of addressing realistic criticism. Sad. Could have made this right . Instead made it worse.

    Cajun pasta, horrible lighting, doesn't do it justice but trust me, 10/10 on flavor!

    My boyfriend and I have ordered food from here a handful of times and not ONCE have we ever been disappointed! Service is great! They are super nice and friendly! Food is delicious. Chicken is never dry, the shrimp is always cooked perfectly. Every sauce they have is flavorful! My picky child DEVOURED their alfredo pasta! You get big portions for a good cost! Every time I get asked, where do you wanna eat: "Braulios" hands down the best!

    Came across an Italian food truck and decided to share a menu on Yelp since I didn't see any postings or reviews from this place.

    Chicken parmigiana
    Norma M.

    Picture taken Saturday at 8:58 pm . Best flavor huge portion friendly staff. The time taken for the food to be made was probably 15 minutes but it was enough time to walk around find a place to sit so I could enjoy the food. Benissimo place you definitely want to try the whole menu.

    My hubby and I went here last night to compete in a karaoke competition, so of course we ordered…read morefood to enjoy while we waited. I can't eat a lot at one time, so despite some adverse reviews I'd seen online about the fried calamari and shrimp, I went ahead and ordered it-and I'm so glad I did! It was hot, fresh, and perfectly cooked-not greasy at all! My hubby had the meatball sub-despite it not really being available during dinner hours, but he's not really a fan of pasta, so the waitress (and chef) kindly made special accommodations for him. We didn't ask, they helpfully offered to do so. Hubby said the red sauce was really good, and he enjoyed the sandwich. I felt bad because they appeared short staffed for the amount of business they had, and they had run out of a few things, but the pressed on gamely and made the best of it. All of the staff was kind and very helpful. We will definitely be going back again soon! I want to try the yummy sounding seafood risotto.

    Been here twice now and it's consistently good with great staff/service. I prefer the bar side of…read morethe restaurant (though we don't drink)- it had small town piano-bar type vibes. It's quieter and less busy. You can tell the staff take pride in cleanliness and presentation of the restaurant. The pasta is definitely fresh/ homemade. I disagree STRONGLY with the other review that suggested it's pasta-roni style sauce. The ingredients are fresh and food was good. We've tried the Rigatoni, Gnocchi, Lasagna, Fettuccine, Lobster Ravioli, Mango Panna Cotta, and Torta Al Cioccolato and their fresh hot bread; all were enjoyable. When we've come the staff took some time to tell us a bit about the family history- passed along traditions and it's clear the recipes as well. This is a family-oriented legacy for these folks. And there's honor in that. If you're into just food, vibes, and low prices- this is NOT your venue. This is a place to celebrate a family (the owners) sharing a bit of themselves with you and yours. Note- people who complain typically mention price without thinking it's not just the food cost, but the lease, utilities, the insurance, staff wages. You're not going to get out to dinner here less than $60 for 2 (with a nominal tip and no booze). But THATS THE POINT- I'm thankful for the care, time, and heart that is put into each dish. We will be back and share this oddly-located, pretty tasty place with our friends and family.

    This past Friday evening (3/20/2026) was my very first time at Galletto's …read more I attended a dinner for a good friend of mines birthday. We had a total party of 11 people. The food was fantastic! Everything from the bread, & appetizers to my braised short rib with polenta, the food was absolutely delish! I highly recommend their food. Busboys made sure our water glasses were filled, however, the server assigned to our table, she was not very attentive. She did ask us if we wanted anything to drink and took our orders, however, once our food was served, never saw her again! Didn't come back to see if we were needing refilled drinks ( one person in our party ended up going to the bar to order himself another drink) or if we were needing ANYTHING more. I honestly don't recall her coming back to ask if the food was to our liking. Don't believe I saw her again until it was time to give us the check. Another problem we encountered, for SOME REASON, the overhead fans that were near our table were turned off. All the others that were farther away from our table were on. Ours had been on when we first arrived, so why they were turned off, I've no idea! We tried to get our servers attention to have them turned back on, but that was to no avail. Not certain if she just wasn't paying attention or if she completely ignored us. It was a fairly warm evening and many of us were becoming uncomfortable. We finally got the attention of one of the busboys and he helped accommodate our needing the fans turned back on. I know this was very disappointing to our "birthday girl" as Galletto's is one of her most favorite restaurants in Modesto. I don't recall the name of our server, I hope the management can look at the date and figure out who was assigned to the party of 11 with the 6:45 reservation and not release her from her duties but rather help her to improve her customer service skills.
