    The Gallo's House Pasta
    Debbie F.

    Wow!!!! This was an incredible yelp find. It is obviously a well kept neighborhood secret. The place was packed but we put ourselves on the waiting list and a table was ready when we showed up. We always enjoy eating in local family restaurants when we travel and Gallo's was top notch! The family story is great and we loved the bread from the family bakery. It was a warm crusty sourdough. I had the House Pasta and my husband had the Pasta Russo. Yum!!! But the star of the show was the Buttermilk Battered fried Oysters for our appetizer. We must go back again for those. Being a neighborhood hotspot, Gallo's is a vibrant, robust place.

    Walleye over polenta in cream sauce. Special. Delicious

    Gallos remains one of the best Italian/creole restaurants in town. Great menu and specials. Even table bread is very good. Highly recommend their creole dishes. Like everywhere else the prices have gone up, but the quality and quantity of food remains high. You can expect Great service. Also it can get really loud in here. Tables are close. Be sure to make reservations unless you want to take a chance on getting bar seating. Reservations require credit card.

    Always busy so I recommend a reservation! The owner is very hands on and friendly. Food is always delicious.

    Chicken parm

    What a great place! Food is excellent, service is fast. Ambiance is nothing special and it was soooo dark I needed my cell phone to read the menu, but that was easily forgiven when we got our entrees. Came in on a Monday night for dinner. Parking lot was packed, though there were still quite a few tables open inside when we arrived at 5:30...not so much when we left. Started with a side salad with their balsamic dressing. The salad was nothing special, just iceberg lettuce with carrots and Kalamata olives, but the dressing was great! I had the Seafood Creole and my daughter had the Chicken Parm. Both were really, really good. The Chicken Parm was served on Alfredo noodles and topped with a red sauce. Never sent that before, but it was delicious. The Creole was outstanding. Shrimp, mussels, 4 good sized scallops and a white fish swimming in the richest red sauce I've ever had! No spice whatsoever, which was a bit surprising, but the flavor of the dish was off the charts. Need to come back again and try something with a bit of spice. Looking forward to it!

    Fantastic food, drinks. Back for my third visit and it was perfection once again! Superb service! i had a pear martiniperfection. My entree was a halibut over polenta with their special crawdads sauce...unbelievably delicious! Ended with a limoncello cream cake...the best! Be sure to make a reservation as this place was packed by 7 pm ( Friday evening).

    Cavatelli Alfredo with Shrimp

    Our server at the bar was so kind, he was awesome! My friend had some dietary restrictions and he was able to help her. The Cavatelli Alfredo with Shrimp was amazing and the bread was warm. Cute bar area, I really enjoyed the ambiance.

    Burrata appetizer
    Jessica Y.

    Finally made it here. It was a nice weekday so we sat outside. It is fine but it is basically the parking lot just FYI. We were greeted quickly after being seated. Ordered some wine and then food. Once our food arrived (again very quickly) we dug in...but we needed extra dressing for the side salad, salt & pepper, and additional ketchup. We did not see our server for a lengthy amount of time to the point of going into the bar to get someone. It was a bit annoying as they were not that busy at the time. Food was fine nothing over the top but I would go back to try some other menu items. Wine list is good. If only they had a happy hour. Note - there is no happy hour here which was a little disappointing.

    When I'm charged 3.5% to use a credit card and not disclosed upfront, I say bad business. That leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.
