Just fabulous and five stars all around. This is a relatively small establishment but the tables…read moreare thoughtfully arranged to allow more seating without feeling crowded. They even have a cute four-seat bar at the rear. Decor is charming Italian bistro style. Food and drink menus are displayed underneath plexiglass right on your tabletop. Brilliant! I imagine they swap out lunch menu card for dinner at the appropriate time. Chalkboard provides soup of the day and any specials. Service was excellent. Prompt, welcoming, knowledgeable and perfectly attentive. Drink AND bread refills were offered at the right time, and when I was getting full, the waitress offered to wrap the leftovers without me having to ask her. I wish I'd noted her name for a shout out! The soup of the day was Roasted Garlic, and on her recommendation we started with a blended cup of this plus their house soup, Roasted Tomato. It was full of flavor without being overwhelming. The included croutons were a perfect texture to go with soup. I had the tricolor cheese tortellini with fresh tomato sauce and upgraded to add spicy Italian sausage. The dish was a dream in every way. Sausage was so authentically Italian and nice and spicy. I was also offered shakers of Parmesan and red pepper flakes. My husband really enjoyed his braised beef panini and the horseradish based dipping sauce that accompanied it. This restaurant is aptly named as I found it to be an Italian foodie paradise. Parking is somewhat challenging and that is the sole negative. Highly recommended!

On the other hand, it's kind of in the same mold as other upscale Italian chains like Maggianos, and it just does not live up to even that bar. It's possible to have decent Americanized-Italian food here, it's not authentic by any stretch, but for the average American that's good enough. I guess it's small town-midwest-fancy, and that just doesn't do it for me. Either be more laid-back or be better. Go here if you want halfway-decent American-Italian food. This is "prom night" fancy, not "wedding anniversary" fancy. If you have ever been to Italy or ate Italian anywhere East of Pittsburg, Gallos will disappoint. When my family meets at Gallos, I am neither excited nor disappointed by the food, it's simply good enough.

For dinner we split the rigatoni (very popular per our waitress and we can see why - delicious and the short rib was tender and plentiful) and lasagna (special for the night and also quite good)! The restaurant was cute, smaller but not too small they couldn't do larger groups. Overall, delicious and would recommend!

My wife and daughter shared the Caesar salad and it was very good. I had the Fra Diovlo lobster special and it was excellent although it wasn't remotely spicy which was disappointing. My daughter had the sweet potato ravioli and it was excellent. My wife had the salmon and she really liked it but my daughter and I didn't loved it. It was very citrus forward . The service was fine but nothing more. We did not like our table as we felt like we were at the kiddie table between the bathroom and kitchen with no lighting and lots of traffic. You could tell it was an afterthought for added seating at a popular restaurant. I was also unimpressed with the wine options and I didn't love the one I ordered. We will go back for sure.
