    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 rice was decent but not a winner for me. Lastly, parking is limited to street parking or an outdoor parking lot up the street. It's a cute place to have a social event or a laid back wine meetup but definitely need more staff, wine education for visitors, and better food options.

Initially slow to get going because we asked our server for a few extra minutes to peruse the menu (we MAY have been chatting too much!). Then it almost felt like they forgot us. But once we ordered, the service was great the rest of the time. We drank a lot of water, and the server brought a bottle so we could help ourselves. Nice touch. I had an excellent panini and chose the mixed greens instead of fries as my side. I had never heard of "cistecca" before, so I looked it up. Fun aside: both of my searches returned only Italian language responses! Anyway, it's a made-up word for a Philly cheesesteak. And it was delicious. Lots of beef steak strips, gooey, melty provolone, and boom-boom sauce. I took half of it home because it was very filling. The greens were meh. Not enough dressing and just very basic. I guess it's a lunch special but it doesn't appear on the online ordering menu. It was $18, very reasonable although I consider that only for the panini as the greens were probably about $1.00 worth. Wish I had gotten fries. One friend and I each had a decaf and it was the only surprising price: $8 for a very small cup! We were seated in a corner, which helped us to hear each other better. Parking is ample and free. It's on the end of a strip mall, easy to spot.

First, I was surprised to learn that although pizza is on the menu, they weren't offering it because the wood-fired pizza operator wasn't working today. I understand that staffing issues happen, but it was still frustrating to arrive expecting to be able to order something that's prominently featured on the menu and then find out it wasn't available. What made it even more frustrating is that as we were leaving, we were told they had actually found the operator to make the pizzas. We approached the them and they said, "oh just come back later. " Very dismissive and rude given we spent almost $500 for food we really didn't want. Unfortunately, the service didn't make up for it either. It was mediocre at best and noticeably below the level of service I've experienced here in the past. Overall, the experience felt like a significant decline from what I've come to expect from this restaurant. At this point, I don't think I'll be back.

We started with the Grand Caviar tasting, which was the most expensive caviar option on the menu. For the price, I expected much more. The caviar was extremely salty, to the point where it felt like additional salt had been added on top. The tasting included three varieties of caviar. The caviar they used on one was the exact caviar they used in sushi. Our second appetizer, the tuna dish, was significantly better. While the presentation could have been more refined and visually appealing, the flavor exceeded expectations and was one of the stronger dishes we tried. For my entrée, I ordered the branzino. The fish itself was decent, but def not crispy but it was salty. The sauce was salty and the fish was salty making the entire plate feel like salt layered upon salt. Additionally, the skin was advertised as crispy, but it lacked the crisp texture I was expecting. My husband ordered the rainbow trout stuffed with crab. It was enjoyable and probably the most balanced entrée of the evening, though it wasn't particularly memorable. For sides, I ordered the wild mushrooms, and my husband chose the risotto. The risotto had good flavor but seemed slightly undercooked. The mushroom side was also on the salty side, and despite being described as "wild mushrooms," it consisted primarily of portobello mushroom.
