Sometimes it pays to be the first customer in the door.. Not our usually dining area but we needed to get out and try something new. We walked in to Gallo and were the only people there, I see reviews of people getting "poor service but that's definitely not what we experienced. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming into this quaint establishment. Sadly we were informed that the pizza oven was still getting ready so pizza was off the menu for us. That was almost a dealbreaker, but we found some other options on the menu to enjoy. The little yelper chose her usual chicken and fries, she had a healthy helping of them (they are definitely bagged nuggets as the pics show). The misses got a chicken and greens sandwich , while it was good, she said that the sandwich definitely would have benefited from being made with grilled chicken instead of fried. Naturally, me being a non-pasta person this was not my best day. I went with the old failsafe chicken wings. Garlic Parm, while the sauce was really good, I was a little disappointed by the size of them and little cup of Ken's bleu cheese. But points for presentation. There was a late delivery to the table, of sliced dough, which was quite good. I'm guessing the oven was just getting right almost close to temperature as we progressed through our meal. There were some really good looking pizzas here on yelp and while we were disappointed that we couldn't get a pizza today, we definitely plan to come back and give that a try. read more

Greeted by annoyed staff.... Saturday night check out this location on Google maps showing that they are open till 10 PM. Got excited to try it out and we got there at 9:20 just to find the place closing down the heavy waitress at the bar immediately shouted that they're closed. I pointed out that it says O'clock and she didn't even responded she pretty much turned her back on us extremely annoyed by the comment. Am I going back to try it out when they're open ....absolutely not. Also, judging by the other reviews, I'm getting a sense this place will not impress . read more

On this trip we didn't get meals-we were enjoying the outdoor bar for cocktails, which were very good! The service was great! This was the first night of the Lewiston Jazz Festival and it was very busy! The outdoor bar was conveniently located near the main stage, so we were very much enjoying the music! read more

The food was amazing! I loved the pizza and the service was very nice. The bathrooms were very good as they were personal for every person. Finally they had some televisions which led to a more fun experience. The wait time was average for a pizza place. 5 stars! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch on Sunday and decided on two pizzas to share amongst three of us. We had the Amatriciana and the White Gallo. Both were very good - the crust is thin and airy and light, but they certainly did not skimp on the cheese. Plenty of fresh mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes on the White Gallo, but barely any red onion. I preferred the salty sweet combination of the pancetta and caramelized onions on the Amatriciana, but both pizzas were really good and plenty of food for 4 people. Service was attentive, friendly, and kept our water pitcher full with cold water. Nice ambiance outside - inside seemed a bit sterile. read more

Margarita had too much sour. Appetizer came out with entree. Chicken was plated with greens on top to hide the over cooked meat. Meatball sub was soggy. Second drink took a long time to arrive and was incorrect. Positive.... The bottled beer was good. Putting this one on the DNR list!!! read more

Everything of very good quality, great pizza! Carbonara was a tad dry, needed some more pasta water to get that crème consistency read more

Good service and nice atmosphere! Had Al's pasta and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend this place.

My Son and his fiancé had their rehearsal dinner for 30 guests in the upstairs banquet room. They had a buffet style setup for the food. When I went up for food the salad bowl only had lettuce in it, the breaded chicken cutlets/ fingers were way over cooked - hard to cut and chicken was dried out. There was Italian sausage with peppers & onion but the rolls were somewhat stale. The paste as well as the meat balls were good. The desserts and the hors d'oeuvre platter with varies cheeses, pepperoni & prosciutto was good. The gentleman bartender did a nice job and poured a good drink. The upper outside deck was large and was nice to have cocktails on while talking to other guests. Big round tables with white chairs in the banquet room worked well for the party. I only gave 2 stars because of the poor food quality control with the buffet. read more

As a Lewiston resident, this restaurant is a continued disappointment. The food has always been subpar but recent changes to the menu only emphasize that the owners are only concerned with cutting costs. The only decent thing on the menu was the homemade mozz sticks but even those they had to cheapen by making them risotto sticks. if you're going to challenge a neighbor favorite by introducing a version of risotto, you should at least make certian that it's on par with Casa Antica. why bother if not? Dont even bother with the Chicken Milanese. Save your money and throw some arugula on a dry chicken breast at home. Literally that is what you'll get at this establishment. read more

Stopped by today with a girlfriend to grab some pizza. We bungee-corded it to the passenger seat on my bike. We arrived at 2:55pm. They didn't open until 3pm. We waited at a table outside. When they opened right at 3pm the server came out and took our order. She brought out the check 5 minutes later and took our payment. The pizza came out about 15 minutes after that and we were in our way over to Academy Park to eat it. It was good! The price was right $19andchange. Was my second time here, my friend's first. She was impressed. I told her she would be. I'll definitely be back. read more

Got pickup here after doing a walk of the Niagara Gorge trail during the COVID-19 quarantine. I placed the order on the phone - pickup can be done curbside by giving your credit card over the phone or you can come inside (the person handling the card/food is wearing gloves). Inside, there is also some pasta as well as sauces you can purchase. During the COVID-19 quarantine, cocktails are for sale for $7 and house wine as little as $2 per glass to-go. Food-wise, I got a delicious Margharita pizza, which had the perfect crust and sauce/cheese ratio. The garlic parm wings were amazing. I also got the eggplant gallo as an appetizer - it was tasty, but a bit small so I'd likely skip it next time as a takeout item. Highly recommend for delicious coal-fired pizza/wings. The gnocchi is house made, so be sure to consider it! read more

My fiancé and I came here for dinner and really enjoyed it. We both got the penne ala vodka, but he got the spicy version. We both thought it was good. Our bartender was very friendly and we had quick service. The patio here is so nice and large! read more

My wife and I came by with another couple shortly after they opened on Saturday afternoon. It has a very bright interior and you can see the coal fire in the oven throughout the restaurant. We ordered the Sicilian chicken wings and eggplant gallo as appetizers to share. The wings were roasted in the coal fire oven and came out very crispy. They were also topped with roasted onions. I enjoyed these very much. Eggplant Gallo has thin slices of sauteed eggplant layered with tomatoes and Romano cheese. This was an excellent and tasty appetizer. I had the garlic vinegar chicken as my main course. This has chicken with garlic, peppers, onions, potatoes and Italian sausage in a red wine vinegar chicken stock sauce. I am a person who likes vinegar a lot but this dish had everything literally swimming in it. All in all, I would definitely come by again to try a few other menu items. read more

Everything was delicious! I went in for dinner because I bought a house in Lewiston and my real estate agent gave me some gift cards. My wife and in-laws were with me.

My wife and I are here now. The worst service I've ever encountered. We waited 50 minutes for drinks and never got them even though everyone around us had their drinks. We cancelled the drinks and my wife went to the bar and got them right away. Go figure. The manager blames not enough staff. It took an hour to get our meals. My salad was so small you would consider it a dinner salad. We were offered a free meal but that doesn't help. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

Great spot! We had the banana pepper dip which had a kick to it but was creamy and delicious! I had the Amatriciana Pasta and added chicken. Very tasty. Also finished off with a signature margarita can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

Out to lunch for my Birthday with the In-Laws and the wife and kids. First time here at the Gallo, was looking forward to seeing what's on the menu. They have so many great items to offer it was a tough decision but I went with a spicy breaded chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato on a ciabatta bun with fries and a sweet tea to wash it all down. We got a few appetizers to start, banana pepper dip with pizza bread as well as die beer pub pretzels. The wife ordered the fish with cold slaw and fries. Son ordered a fish sandwich which was pretty big and my other son got chicken nuggets and fries from the kids menu along with a warm soft brownie for dessert . Breanna our server was very hands on, very friendly and smiling all the time. overall she was just great as a whole! Thank you for making my birthday lunch an awesome experience at the Gallo! Also I received $5 off $50 upon checking in on the Yelp App... read more

From the very beginning when we placed our order the waitress told us our entrees we not available although ahead of time she did not mention there were items we couldn't order. They were unable to accommodate us because the fish entree was "premade" and offered with breading , fried with red sauce and mozzarella cheese. Sounds a lot like chicken parm with fish. We ended up getting the banana pepper dip but it was very thin. The salad watery and the Chicken Milanese buried under a mound of arugula and cheese- no flavor Drink menu very limited. We came here because across the street at the Village eatery they were only offering pizza not their full menu. It just was a negative experience last night in Lewiston all the way around Definitely not worth the prices they were charging ! $85 later we went and got dessert at DiCamillos which was awesome read more

The food is amazing, which is the only reason I'll continue to eat or order from there. Had an issue with my order today where they didn't have one of the items I had ordered and paid for. When I asked how it would be refunded they said I'd need to take that up with GrubHub. The manager who assisted was not nice at all. More important for him to prove himself right than to simply apologize. read more

Walked in at 5:45 on a Friday with no reservation but after a short wait at their awesome bar sipping wine we were able to get a table. I would recommend a reservation though. They haven't been open very long so I expected some growing pains with their service. The staff here really has their act together for being open such a short time. The growing pains I expected were non existent. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food was very good and generously portioned. We started out with an appetizer of meatballs served with pomodoro sauce and ricotta cheese and a Caesar Salad. Both were very good. We chose the smaller portion of salad. This salad could have easily served three or four if consumed as an appetizer. We then shared a Fresca pizza. This pizza was buried in toppings consisting of olive oil, mozzarella, arugula, tomato, red onion & kalamata olives. It was very good. I was pleasantly surprised when the bill came and found them to be very reasonably priced. We will return, but with reservations, and recommend dining here to others. read more

Good woodfired margherita pizza and cheese pizza was very good. The craft beer lager type was also very good as was the pasta with meat balls. our server was excellent I would recommend this place.. read more

The service was really good here, we came around 4:30 so the food came out super quick! We weren't too impressed with the pizza, it wasn't bad but it didn't wow us. I never had burrata so I really wanted to try it. The pizza bread was so yummy I loved it. I wasn't exactly sure what the cheese was supposed to be inside but after I left, I found out that it is supposed to be gooey in the middle. It tasted good but I felt like it was all fresh mozerella because mine wasn't gooey inside. read more

This place was such a nice surprise in Lewiston. I had to run out there for a gift and found reviews of Gallo on Yelp, which looked amazing. Well, the real place does not disappoint. Honestly, it was some of the best coal-fired pizza I ever had. We ordered a traditional cheese pizza and then a traditional cheese and pepperoni pizza with hot banana peppers, in addition to the hot pepper appetizer, spicy BBQ wings, and a small Caesar salad. Everything was delicious! The wine by the glass selection is great, too! They definitely could use more space and tables, but I understand there are plans to move to a bigger space down the street eventually. Overall, I would give it two thumbs up for a casual night on the town. read more

We went to Gallo Coal Fire Kitchen for my wife's birthday. We had a party of nine and each of us got different dinners on the menu along with several starters. Every single dish was excellent! My wife and I split a large bowl of Amatriciana Pasta. It has such a delicious and light tomato sauce. I absolutely loved this dinner and we had so much with the "family" size bowl that we brought some home (a rare thing for me)! It really was that good. I highly recommend it! Everyone at our table enjoyed their food and we all would come back to eat here again. My sons shared a pizza and it was devoured by them. These 13 year olds know their pizza and gave this pizza high praise. If you have the chance to eat at this new restaurant, you will be pleased with your choice. Great restaurant in a great location. Make reservations as this place is hopping! read more

Where to begin? Aesthetically it's hip and trendy looking. Offers high ceilings, plenty of outside seating, etc etc. Environment leads to loud tinny music on a boring concrete pad. Ordered tonight were two pasta dishes and two salads. Salads were fine. Arugula with pine nuts was tasty. Unfortunately both pasta dishes arrived lukewarm at best. Penne was cooked to perfection yet was lost in the fact it needed to be heated up. Pomodoro sauced lacked flavor and accompanying chicken cutlet was bland. My friend found her pasta to be lukewarm and lacking flavor as well. Her meatball was dry. Wine selection offered cheaper brands which were as sub par as the food. With so many places serving quality fresh Italian food to choose from this won't be a competition. Such a disappointment. read more

Service is beyond SLOW. Servers are inattentive, brought the wrong order after waiting and ETERNITY

I attended an event in their cute upstairs event space. It was cozy and nice for a small gathering with two large individual bathrooms for your party. The food was decent with sauces and dressings on the side which was nice for people trying to eat healthy. The pizza was thin and crunchy but wasn't on any warming serving equipment, so was on the cold side when we started eating. I think it would be great warmed up. There was a bar available upstairs with a small pour of wine for $8.5 and mixed drinks and beer, and the bartender was there when the food was out. There weren't assigned servers it seemed it, several people coming up periodically so we stacked our plates after appetizers and before dessert to make room but they were kind when they got around to cleaning up. Overall, it was a nice setting and spread, with a struggle for street parking but worth a nice afternoon. read more

This restaurant was good, pre COVID. The food quality has since changed, as has the service. Portions are different, things are pre-made, and while the ambience seems good, when your food arrives cold 5 minutes after you order it, it certainly isn't fun anymore. We've tried reaching out to management but they don't care for feedback. We are sad as this was our favourite place. read more

Nice new place, up the street from the original. Food is great and our server on a Thursday night was Brandon. A fine young man with a nice sense of humor. Check this place out if you're ever in the Lewiston area! read more

I was so disappointed. We are visiting and not familiar with this restaurant. The menu describes portions that seemed very large, so we asked the waiter for guidance. We each ended up ordering an item of the entree menu (half chicken and meatball stew), which could have fed 8 people! At the end of the meal, I talked to the manager about the quantity of food and he essentially said "we don't judge how much people will eat." I can understand that if all customer isn't directly asking questions about the portion size. In this case we did ask and were completely oversold. Bummer! read more

Oh my stars. The pesto pizza was amazing. My review is for take-out this past Sunday. My friends and I attended Artpark's the Art of Walking tour and got a to-go order from Gallo. Thanks to the friendly person who answered the phone and patiently read us the pizza menu options, since we couldn't find a current menu online. I'll be back soon! read more

Sorry the food was served luke warm and was overpriced and not very good. Ordered a pasta dish and fried meatballs, which were hard,dry and cold. Pasta hardly had any sauce. Beautiful atmosphere though. read more

The Carbonara pizza is by far my favorite thing on the menu. They typically do a great job with making pizzas but there are times when the pizza was over cooked and the topppings are sparse. But for the most part the pizza is great for the price. The management is also super friendly and helpful with correcting issues and making sure the customer is satisfied. They have a great beer selection as well, which pairs nicely with the pizza and other delicious dishes. read more

Great pizza with a simple but neat atmosphere. We started with a family Caesar salad which said was 4 but could feed 6. Very tasty. The chicken and turkey soup bowl was great along with the fried meatballs. My cheese ,pepperoni and banana peppers pizza was real good. read more

LOVE eating at Gallo. I have been here several time, and every time, it's fantastic. In my opinion, they have the best penne vodka in the area. Tonight, we started with the arugula salad for the table. It's made with arugula, pine nuts, Parmesan and balsamic vinaigrette. We love this salad! The family size is more than enough for a table of four. For dinner, I had the penne vodka (always!) with a chicken cutlet. The sauce is so creamy and full of flavor, and he cutlet was perfectly crisp! For dessert, we shared the brownie with vanilla ice cream. It's served in a mini skillet--so cute, and the brownie was warm and decadent. We will definitely be back!! :) read more

Dined on the outdoor patio during the COVID-19 quarantine. We ate there around 4:00 PM and at that time no one else was on the patio. Staff wore masks and ask that you wear them when inside too. It looked as if the tables were set far enough apart to accommodate social distancing, and with a large part of the deck being covered you had respite from the heat while being able enjoy the outdoors. Started with the banana pepper dip. It had a bit of a kick, which I appreciated, and the seasoning on the bread strips was fantastic. It is on the smaller size, so maybe two max if you're splitting it, or perfect on your own with a salad or other appetizer. It will be hot when it comes out, so you may want to give it a second to enjoy all the stringy, cheesy goodness. Went with the grape tomato and balsamic specialty pizza. Very thin crust and charred to perfection. While not a combo topping I would normally go for it was executed well. I enjoyed the meal, setting, and staff service. Would definitely come back if I'm in Lewiston again! P.S. They have sauce jars for sale if you want to try crafting your own at home - though how can you beat their baking method? read more
