Well it's been a long time since I've been to Galena and this is a good restaurant I took my mom…read morehere in 2018 before covid and stuff. I do love their pastas I did take also my mom's friends but they stayed so short in Galena for a two and a half hour drive. Anyways this is memorial Day and I don't have family anymore and I decided to go to Galena Illinois it's very quaint and feels like Gettysburg this restaurant that I went to I really love their Italian food was very busy regards to the ambience but I like how there's different floors and it has that old civil war 1860s feel. Other than that do come here again and try to explore Galena and all the other antique shops and one of a kind small shops for specialties

In a town that is catering to tourists, I get the appeal of this place. You walk up one of the…read morehills to enter through the "deli" area and are seated in one of many various rooms of what appears to be a house. Children are welcome and there is a limited menu for them as well. But, when you are paying these prices, you expect a little bit more than what VV's has to offer. First, the toasted ravioli's are clearly mass-produced and just heated at the restaurant. Then, people must love the idea of salad and garlic bread (like the OG), but this is not a great offering. The bread is like that you would get at a pizza place with your order of pasta and the salad is literally swamped in onions and dressing. The pasta is house made, and fine, but that was about all that was okay. The veal marsala is just odd. The sauce is the consistency of a thick, brown gravy and it just serves to disguise the over-cooked meat. At over $100 for one adult and two kids, you'd be better-off elsewhere. Extra star for the wonderful service from Gracie.

The food is pretty expensive but it's great quality. A climb up the stairs to get here. It's not a big place so it's usually not great for large groups or parties. There's still quite a few tables. A lot of great things to drink. It's just beer and wine though. It's about $9 for a glass. This of course always goes great with a pasta. A pretty limited amount of stuff to eat for vegetarians but there's a few options. It's about $20 for the vegan option they tell you to ask about, so they have something thankfully. As for the rest of the menu, they have appetizers. These include hummus, olives, and other shareables. For sure it's one of the nicest places around here. It's located on the corner of Main and Perry. They're closed Wednesdays.

Much of the region has caught up to this shop and it's appreciation of finer food, but Galena River wine and cheese still provides a great spot yo grab picnic supplies, a unique bottle of wine, or just some really good cheese for home.

There's a wide variety of cheeses ranging from the common to the quite unusual. As an example, we took home a green gouda cheese and tequila lime cheddar cheese. The second room offers a wide variety of wine, beer, and spirits - with tastings available for selected offerings. We tried a few wines that were compatible with the cheese we had based on recommendations. We were given all the time we needed.

The restaurant is also very clean, and there's ample parking available in the front and a large lot on the side.
