    Our drinks

    Visited recently during happy hour! It had been some time since I was last here. Sat at the bar and service by Calvin was great. I enjoyed a nice cocktail and some pasta (not on happy hour). I need to come back sooner than later. I forgot how much I like this place.

    Eggplant Parmigiana
    Allyn F.

    I discovered this restaurant a couple of days ago and decided to come for lunch. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana and it was pretty good. The complimentary bread was very good and the dipping oil was quite flavorful. Being mid-afternoon, the restaurant was on the empty side, but with that I was able to see the decor and it has a well-decorated interior. Our waitress, Brenda, was wonderful. I would definitely come back to try more dishes!

    Chicken Milanese Panini
    Art T.

    Disclaimer first. I work nearby, so the vast majority of my experiences here have been during lunch hours. I've done dinner here too, but that's pretty rare. So, maybe that should be part of the consideration with my review. Honestly, though? It's gone downhill somewhat over the past year or so. Our office still gets catered pizza lunches from them about once a month on average, and let me say... their pizza is great!! Even just their regular cheese pizza, though the Grandma's Pie might be my new favorite. The last two times I visited the restaurant for dine-in, though, I was very disappointed in my meal. In both cases, I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich; first it was the chicken parmesan and then recently it was the chicken Milanese. Both times, the chicken itself had very little flavor, if any! The toppings were fine, but there just wasn't anything to it, taste-wise. I was both surprised and underwhelmed. The bread they gave us to start was kind of stale. It was way too chewy to just be full of gluten. I wish the sandwiches were served on this type of bread, though, because they just use this ordinary soft regular sub roll, the kind you get at any supermarket. One naming complaint: they list their sandwiches as "panini." They are not. A panini should be grilled and pressed and served warm. These sandwiches are not grilled or pressed (see picture) and definitely not served warm. Just call them sandwiches, it's okay. The pepper shaker was empty. That's not really a huge deal, but it's indicative of a bigger issue... staffing. Or, cutting corners (standard tasks) because of a lack of time or personnel. One of the small side plates the brought to the table had a huge chip missing out of the side. Again, it's a minor thing by itself. But, many minor things add up to a bigger picture. Overall, though, it was a decent lunch (this last visit). Every restaurant has their ups and downs. Their pizza still hits the spot in my opinion, and the service was friendly and fast. We all had a good time, which at the end of the day is all you can ask for.

    valentines themed drinks - sweet and strong

    I've really enjoyed the pappardelle bolognese here! The portion size of it is also huge, and I have leftovers for days. It's my favorite dish on the menu. It's an elegant restaurant with lots of dining tables and bar seating. Lots of parking in the lot as well. I also went for V-day and they had a decent valentines menu! Only one of the dishes had bland food (I believe it was the steak and potatoes dish). The drinks were so pretty and sweet and the apps were delicious. I'll have to go back and try another dish on the menu to see what else I like from there.

    Fettuccini, white sauce, shrimp, scallops, topped with crab meat.

    Ate here for lunch got the dish with fettuccini noodles, shrimp, scallops, and white sauce topped with crab meat. I don't remember the name. Dish was good. The bread is great (nice and soft). Started with the vegetable soup. The soup was good. The bartender was the waiter for about 3 tables. Every time we needed something we had to keep waving for his attention. Even to order and to pay the bill. He never came back to check on us. We had two flies constantly trying to land on our food so we had to cover it up! Flies are just disgusting.

    Pizza

    Update 8/25- They seem to be back on the ball. We enjoyed the brussels this time. Our waiter told us we could have it prepared differently (off menu) as deep fried with bacon and chili sauce. Although the Mediterranean Insalate (Salad) is smaller than before, it's still very fresh and tastes good with blackened chicken. Hubby and U split a pizza, which had good flavor! Desserts are tasty. And they have really good drip coffee by Lavazza.

    Bread

    Gallianos is a shirt drive from the major shopping center in Maple Lawn. I had a little trouble finding it because there is no signage on the building. The restaurant is spacious and connected to a business office. They have seating at a bar with options to watch different games as well as more intimate seating options. My friend and I ordered their Arancini as an appetizer. I thought the crunchy exterior paired with the soft and tomatoey filling was perfect. I also had their spaghetti and signature meatball dish. I was a little confused when my dish came out because it was 4 meatballs rather than one 12oz meatball that was listed in the menu description. The meatballs were lacking some flavor, but the spaghetti was my ideal bite. Their sauce is pretty sweet, but I like it that way! I was very impressed by their wide menu options. I definitely want to go back and try more.

    Penne alle Vodka
    Jocelyn K.

    The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was a good volume/selection. Our server Todd was very nice. But, you're not here to hear about that- you want to hear about the food! It's a restaurant after all. Bread with olive oil was delicious and the margherita pizza was good, a bit saucy with mozz falling off but pretty typical. The main dishes gave us mixed feelings. The spaghetti with meatball (yes, it's just one big meatball) barely had any spaghetti which was really odd proportions. Branzino fish was mushy, it was probably frozen and didn't turn out well after defrosting. The penne alle vodka tasted great but the pasta was a little overcooked. Veal was a little tough. Broccolini was perfect. So you can see how there was good and bad. Not quite the Italian meal we wanted. TLDR: food was mid :(

    French onion soup
    Margy C.

    Galliano provides a lovely ambiance for a weekend lunch with friends. But service was very slow. It did not seem like it was too busy as we didn't have reservations and were able to be seated right away and it was not overcrowded the entire time we were there. We were a party of five but I will review the dishes that I ordered. We were told that they have French onion soup as a special that day. It's been such a cold winter that any soup sounded wonderful. For the entrees, we got chicken parm and shrimp and scallops with spinach. Unfortunately, our meals took over 30 minutes to arrive. I thought the soup would at least come sooner but it appeared only a few minutes before all of our entrees. It was still satisfying in a thin broth with lots of onions. It's always fun dangling the stringy cheese. I very much enjoyed the shrimp and scallops with spinach. It had a nice presentation and creamy sauce. The dish was warm but not hot so it was sitting for a while before being brought to the table. The other dish was the chicken parm and it was cold. We did not return it because we did not want any food wasted. Another friend did inform the restaurant that her side item was cold and they immediately brought more. Before leaving, someone in our party ordered additional items to go but there was a mistake in the order and it had to be prepared again. Though I think the servers were friendly, the restaurant missed the mark on the timeliness of our meals and the accuracy of the to-go order. Since our meals were brought to us so late, I think a quick check in from the server would have been nice or more bread or something as a kind gesture for the wait. I would really like to give this place another try. The location, atmosphere, and offerings in the menu beckons a revisit. And everyone deserves a second chance. Parking: Spaces in front and I believe I saw more spaces in the back if you're not inclined to parallel park. Noise level: Comfortable conversation level.

    Popping into a local favorite restaurant. Today I enjoyed the cajun chicken tortellini pasta in Alfredo sauce with A Southern Connecticut drink. It was my first time eating tortellini. Pasta was cooked well. Alfredo sauce was filling but need some sale and pepper. I would have liked more of the cajun or blackened spices to come out flavor wise in the dish but overall, it was a great dish. The Southern connection is great drink for the spring and to open your pallet. It was lite, but not to fancy, but ended with a taste of Southern charm. Service is always fantastic. I look forward to my next visit.

    The delicious eggplant parmesan!
    Leigh D.

    Introduction to Galiano on the January 2024 visit: I'm starting a photo series each month of 2024. Galliano is representing January 2024. There's a 1-star I've been dreading to write for a while that can represent April. But to get back to the positive topic of Galiano, I first tried this on Sunday, January 21 with a large Meetup group for dinner. After a crappy weekend where my car battery died on that Saturday, the coldest day of the Winter, derailed my Saturday late afternoon/evening and dealt with getting the new battery at place open on Sunday, which was like $400. That Sunday afternoon I somewhat redeemed the weekend with a movie, then dinner still on this bitterly cold night, then leaving dinner a bit early from the Meetup for another movie on my AMC A-List. Food & Experience in January: There are a few parallel parking spots in front, but the parking in the back is still close. The organizer of the Meetup recommended the crab bisque, Italian medley soup, & the eggplant parmesan as did a couple of others from the group, who had been there. The eggplant parmesan is awesome here! The Italian medley soup is solid too, but not quite as high of enthusiasm but very good. It has beef balls and little pasta pieces. The ambiance is nice table cloth with large windows and comfortable cool lighting. The server was cordial, but I remember he got a couple of people's orders mixed like who had what exactly. No major issue though, and it was a large group so could get confusing. Subsequent visits: I loved the eggplant parmesan so much that I wanted to revisit possibly for other items. I visited again in March, May, & June with my girlfriend with the catalyst as the Meetup. In March my girlfriend was relatively new at that point (I was still single on that January 21 visit). I told her about this Meetup & how great the food particularly the eggplant was. Unfortunately, the organizer of the Meetup had Covid, so we got a different organizer. So, she didn't get to meet him in early March but late March elsewhere instead. In March, we both got the crab bisque, I got a wine, she got a beer, and she got the eggplant I highly recommended, and I wanted to try something different...So, I got the chicken marsala. The Crab bisque was excellent too. Honestly, I was pretty underwhelmed by chicken marsala though. We each tried each others' food and both agreed the eggplant was far superior. On the subsequent visits in May & June, we stuck with the eggplant parmesan since we know that's delicious. Other interesting note in June was the two people we were sitting directly across from, two people who hadn't met each other, both got salmon. Neither of them raved about the salmon saying it was ok. But I'm thinking salmon is weird choice for an Italian restaurant. Summary: Eggplant parmesan & crab bisque are the best two things to get. After having the chicken marsala, I'm a bit nervous to NOT get the eggplant parmesan as I feel like I'll be at least a little disappointed. Overall, Galiano has left a positive impression for service, ambiance, & food, but there's a couple areas where it fell a little short too.

    Pappardelle Bolognese
    Cynthia L.

    Weeknight dinner. Complimentary bread and olive oil. This place is reminiscent of Mama Lucia's or somewhere along these lines for an American-Italian restaurant. Our waitress was great. My pappardelle was overcooked and excessively saucey. My jalapeño margarita was very much lacking in alcohol and the only thing spicy about it was a sliver end of a jalapeño they put on a skewer. I didn't step foot inside because we ate outside, but it looked spacious and there was a steady stream of people here during dinner. It's not authentic Italian and so long as you set your expectations right, you'll be ok.

The lounge is on the smaller side, which actually worked well for the event and gave it an intimate vibe. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The menu is extremely limited, and you pretty much have to piece together a meal from a few items. I ordered the jollof rice and six-piece chicken wings. The wings were overpriced, overcooked, and had no flavor at all. The only options were sauces on the side (honey, ranch, or blue cheese), and when I specifically asked for honey drizzled on top with blue cheese on the side, that request wasn't followed. Even more frustrating, our server never came back to check on us or make sure everything was okay. The jollof rice was honestly the worst part. Instead of that rich, smoky flavor you'd expect, it tasted burnt with a harsh charcoal aftertaste. I've had jollof rice many times before, and this was nowhere close. I ended up sending it back. Because I was hungry, I forced myself to eat the wings, even though they were dry and lacked flavor. Overall, Myste Lounge has a nice look and potential, but the food and service really need improvement. A revamped menu and better attention to guests would make a huge difference.

It's become our little tradition, and we always have a good time. Typically, this place is PACKED for the game, and over the years I've had mixed experiences with the service. Sometimes things move along pretty smoothly, and other times it can be a little chaotic--long waits for food, mix-ups with orders, having to ask for things more than once, etc. But yesterday was different, and I have to give them credit where credit is due! I arrived around 4 p.m., right around the end of one server's shift, and we ended up getting a new server named Maria. She was GREAT. She was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. Our food came out quickly, our requests were handled promptly, and when I asked for the check, it came right out. We never had to sit around wondering where our food or server was. Everything was orderly and efficient, which was a major improvement from some of my previous experiences. And of course...the EAGLES WON! So that definitely helped make it a good day! I do have a couple of things I think Looney's could improve. First, the TVs. I understand that there are multiple football games happening, but considering we're in the DMV and this is a Commanders/Eagles matchup, I would expect the game to be on the majority of the screens. That wasn't really the case. There was also tennis on at one point, which my mom was enjoying, but it was switched off before the match was even finished. I think they could do a better job of balancing what games are being shown, especially during major matchups. I was also a little confused by the ID/stamping situation. When I first arrived, I wasn't asked for my ID; I was simply given a stamp. I'm not sure what the stamp was for or whether I was supposed to receive one, so I was a little unclear about the purpose. I don't mind following the rules at all--I just wasn't sure what the process was supposed to be. And the bathrooms could definitely use a little more attention in the cleanliness department. Overall, though, we had a good experience this time around. The atmosphere was fun, the crowd wasn't nearly as overwhelming as it has been in previous years, and most importantly, Maria was on it! The food and service are a huge part of the experience at a sports bar, and yesterday was definitely a step up from some of the experiences I've had in the past. We'll be back next year for our annual Eagles/Commanders tradition. Hopefully the Eagles will be bringing another W with them!

The stories behind each one made every sip better. This is one of those places that you have to buy a bottle to take home because you won't stop thinking about how good the wine was. I am no wine connoisseur but wow they expanded my wine pallet so far in just a day. They do have charcuterie and jollof and suya here. The staff is sweet , the service is great and the decor and ambiance is absolutely stunning! Everything and I mean everything is beautiful here. They have atleast 2 events every month so check them out on eventbrite and Instagram. Oh and please get a bottle of Obys boldness, SJs Pami, and the mayor !
