Came here cuz all the other places were packed. Waited on the patio a good 10 minutes before being acknowledged. Ordered the garlic parm wings. There was 1/4 inch of grease on the plate. Wings had good flavor but so much oil they were almost inedible. The water they served us was room temp and tasted like garden hose water. Won't be coming back read more

Happy to have another option in lewiston! Good wine, nice atmosphere. I liked the heat lamps outside too. Unfortunately our waitress explained the special my friends and I ordered incorrectly. She didn't mention peppers on our pizza and explained it as a pesto and sausage pizza, when the pesto was hardly there... The bottom of our pizza was also burnt. I'm sure quirks still have to be worked out, I would go back again. Just don't order the special -or rather make sure you know what you are ordering. read more

Had dinner tonight with family and friends. The server we had was great and attentive to our needs. That said, after eating a few years ago at the original Gallo, I can say that not much has changed. The food was ok at best, and the meal I ordered was the vinegar garlic chicken for $24. When it arrived, I expected a bonelesd chicken breast, but was suprised to get a bone in fatty one. The other parties in our group had margarita pizza and wings. The wings were tiny, and the general consensus was the pizza needed more sauce. All in all, it was a disappointing meal. For the cost and limited menu, the food should be so much better. We will not be back! read more

Great homemade pasta and really good meatballs. I usually only like the meatballs that I make but these are really good. You can get as an appetizer. it comes three on a plate. The best part is the dollop of ricotta that is served with it. They have one of the best vodka sauces. They have a lot of pizzas which I've never tried since it's hard to pass up homemade pasta. It's definitely worth the drive to Lewiston. I did take out yesterday but they had many tables set up outside. Next time we'll have to eat in read more

Service was terrible.Waiter dropped our appetizer,My dinner was cold as if came out of the refrigerator.Manager did not apologize at all. To make it worse I was charged for the dropped appetizer. Do your self a favor and try the many other Lewiston restaurants that actually care about their customers. read more

Terrible services. We rented a lake house for a bachelorette and came in for a few drinks and food. Immediately when we walked in the bartender eyes us (a groups of girls) up and down. She assumed that we were not paying attention and tried to up charge us on our order (thinking we wouldn't notice). When we confronted the bar tender on this she immediately became defensive and attempted to argue. This service made us uncomfortable and NOT welcome at all. For a rural area who caters to people who are vacationing on Lake Ontario I would NOT recommend this tavern for anyone who is a "outsider". Let's talk about discrimination!! read more

Deafening, echoey din + fluorescent overhead lighting give this place the ambiance of the UB Student Union cafeteria. The hard, uncomfortable chairs add to this (why on Earth are these so popular nowadays?). No drink list, which is not a huge deal but also incredibly strange? Like, surely the cost of printing and paper is worth it to provide such a standard convenience to your customers? The service was incredibly slow, which I normally don't mind (I enjoy talking to my wife/ordering an extra glass of wine/feeling like I'm living life at a European pace/etc.) but combined with the noise of the room it made the experience feel like an endurance contest. I had the mussels fra diavolo which were delicious, but my wife had penne a la vodka that tasted exactly like how I used to prepare it in college (box of Wegmans pasta + jar of Wegmans sauce), plus it was lukewarm. I'm not a big Yelper but this experience was so abysmal it struck me with inspiration. read more

I have been to Gallo a few times now. I decided to write this review because I have not been disappointed! My coworker and I shared a bottle of the house wine. It's on tap and it's $18 a bottle. I loved the house Cabernet. There was a group of 4 of us so we decided to share a bunch of appetizers. I would recommend the tapenade if you love olives. It is topped with a pesto sauce that gives it garlic flavor I love. We also ordered a cheese banana pepper dip. That came out hot and it was a table favorite. One of my friends is vegetarian so she order something different. She ordered Gnocci but instead of the bolognese she asked for mushroom Marsala sauce. That was AMAZING! And they were very accommodating! I would definitely come back and try different things on the menu because it won't disappoint read more

My boyfriend just moved to the area in February. It seemed like all of the better restaurants were in Canada. With COVID shutting the border down, we were desperate to find a good restaurant. Finding this place was like a godsend. Great food, great service, and great prices. We will definitely be back!! read more

This place is amazing!! Best food in Lewiston, the wine list is amazing, the outside patio area is awesome and the staff are excellent ! love it here !!! read more

I've been coming to this place on a regular basis since they opened and I actually do like the food . But something need to be done about the service, which has been going very south for some time now. Recently, there were several waitresses eating at the bar while one of them was waiting all the tables. On my last visit the service was extremely slow despite the place being only half full. It seems like the wait staff completely turns over on a monthly basis. The owners don't seem to be around and their doesn't seem to be any type of manager. Too bad, but at this point I'm not sure how often i will be returning here. read more

Reading some other reviews makes me laugh. Pricey? Nope, McDonalds must be pricey then too. Inedible? Lol, would love to taste your cooking. The food is great, fresh and reasonably priced. read more

I have been waiting for Lewiston to get a legit top notch pizza place! But the best part is that the pizza is just the start! The entire menu is amazing! My wife and I try something new every time we go in and we are continually blown away. Also, the wine selection is impressive as is the service! read more

Update! Tried to give Gallo a third chance because I like to support local businesses. The sangria was amazing, I have to say. The pizza is still not good, burnt to a crisp. Wood fired does not mean the pizza has to be black. We also got the pretzel sticks which were way over cooked. The service was still shitty, and the person greeting us was not friendly at all. Every waitress I have ever had here was rude, didn't refill drinks, etc. I'm not a picky person, but this was just bad service. If they at least had decent service, the place like be okay. It's the little things that make a place great, but they need to make a lot of improvements. For the prices at this place, not worth it. read more

Terrible. It's not gross but frozen pizza is better and a whole lot cheaper. The salad was small and lacked flavor and ingredients. The description of the wings sounded good but fell flat. read more

Waited over an hour and a half for food to come out. Watched multiple tables that came in after us get there food before us. We watched the waitress give the order to the cook about 50 minutes into our wait. They did comp us but was it worth it? Food was rushed so crust sucked. They can only do 4 pizzas at a time... shouldve built a bigger oven. Beer was good but we had to beg for drinks since the waitress avoided us like the plague. Good thing we were too hungry to leave. Won't be coming back for sure. Woodcock does a much better pizza out in Wilson. read more

Gallo used to have the best burrata appetizer tonight it's about the 1/4 of the size. I'm so disappointed

The pizza was very short on ingredients. It took us almost two hours to get our food after it was ordered. The employees said that only one cook had came to work. They should have informed us when we ordered. They gave us a 20 percent discount but not only did we spend two hours and the pizza was poor. Beware this place could not make it anywhere where people expect quality and service. read more

Just like Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza back at home in New Jersey. Great service. Place gets noisy, even before it gets crowded. Hard to hear fellow diners across the table. Sauce on pizza was good, on the sweeter side. Would like a bit more cheese on the pizzas. read more

Couldn't get an order right, and daily special is only good enough for 1 person. Disappointing.

Stopped there tonight for pizza to go. Two small (only size) pizzas $36.00. Every topping except cheese is $1.50-$2.00. Not much free cheese and the extra toppings few, barely 3 pieces of pepperoni per piece mushrooms and cherry peppers hardly existed. What a shame , we like thin crust pizza, but his was not worth returning for. I also say no wonder the place is empty. More help in there then customers and a help wanted sign in the window. Another trendy Lewiston restaurant that won't last. Hope the owners wake up to see there are people that want to support local businesses that cater to everyone. Hope they get the message. read more

Open only for a week on our visit the food left much to be desired. The pizza was undercooked with mozzarella unmelted and zero flavor in the sauce. Creamy polenta looked and tasted like they poured cream of mushroom soup over the top. The only redeeming dish was the turkey/chicken meatballs in clear broth, although the white beans were unnecessary and tasteless. If we were locals we would probably give them another try after they've worked out the kinks. read more

I wish I could come to this place more often! The pizza was delicious and the service was great too. We came in on Valentine's Day on a whim (writing this review a bit late...) And the pizza & wine special they had was very reasonably priced. I think they accidentally screwed up our bill but before I even noticed they made up for it quickly and gave us a discount. I really appreciated this quick recovery and it made the experience more memorable honestly. I think it's a family owned place and the owners are very friendly. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Terrible service. Waited 20 minutes for a drink and over an hour for pizza. Eggplant tasted like jarred sauce. Over priced/mediocre food and understaffed - the men at our table had to go to the bar to get drinks,and still waited forever. Tables around us were complaining and we watched people walk out. read more

Fantastic food. Everything we ate was very good. Wood fire oven pizza is excellent. Would stop here again any time.

Went here for dinner with my husband tonight, and it was AMAZING!!! Best pizza in Lewiston, hands down! This place is always packed, but it is totally worth the wait. We had a pizza with three toppings and the gallo salad, and they paired perfectly together. We also sat at the pizza bar, and it was so relaxing to sit and watch the coals cook food and be warmed up by it all, too! The owner was really friendly and genuinely cared about our food and experience, and I can't wait to go back here - definitely a new favorite for us. Great place to bring friends or family! read more

Start to finish everything was great. Tapas peppers, fried meatballs and eggplant were all wonderful. Vodka sauce pasta was probably one of the best I have ever had. Pizzas with the thin crisp crust were signature great. Topped it off with a chocolate chip cookie ixe cream sandwich. SUPERB! read more

Been here twice and loved the food both times!! Great pizza and great entrees; a little pricey but worth it.

This place is perfect for Lewiston and its empty-headed inhabitants: All show and no go. Tried some take-out before venturing inside and, needless to say, we won't be frequenting this dump again. Ordered a pizza and "sicilian wings" and disappointment doesn't begin to describe the experience. When we arrived to pick up our order we were informed that our pizza was accidentally burned in the oven. It would be another 30 minutes before it was ready. When we came back half an hour later we were charged full price despite the screw-up. The pizza was half the size of the box it came in and so-so quality. You'd never known it was baked it a coal fire oven; maybe it wasn't. The "sicilian wings" were one of the worst items we've ever received from any eatery ever. Inedible. The dog wouldn't even touch them. We left them outside in the backyard overnight on a first come, first served basis but found them the next morning in pristine condition. They eventually made their way to the most appropriate resting place deserved: the garbage can. They have obviously recruited their friends etc to post 5 star reviews but if the local squirrels and other furry scavengers had their say it would be the same as above. Yuck. read more

The food is amazing- whether dining in or taking out! The parking lot is small so plan on parking somewhere else on a Friday night, it gets very busy but more than worth it! I love the pizza and baked wings. read more

Had dinner the Cesar salad was great the pasta was outstanding the meatballs to die for took two pizzas home the staff was super everything was outstanding service A+ The inside and outside of the building are like something you'd see in a movie. read more

Nice job remodeling! Like the decor. No room, too loud, tables too small for food or the food should be brought out in stages? Food was pretty good, not anything special, coal or not. In Buffalo it's IPA'S everywhere, not here. But they have not been open long, so we will try it again. Pricing is ok. read more

Great new restaurant!! Pizza was great!!! Fun atmosphere!!! Waitress Angelina was very nice and attentive even on a busy night!!! Bar tender kelly, is also great. read more

One of our favorite restaurants in Lewiston. Not sure why people are posting such hateful messages. The pizza is excellent and we have always had great service. Going on Monday is a great deal, when you can get the pizza half price! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Lewiston. I come here all the time. The arugula salad, meatballs, and artichoke dip are at the top of my list. Also the drink specialties are top notch! read more

Was given a gift card, so tried this place again. Our feeling this time was the prices are much too high for what you are given. For example, the baked ziti was $17 ala carte. No salad, which is not all that unusual but no bread! We asked for bread because we thought they forgot to bribg it. We were told they don't offer bread. Been a long time since I've been to an Italian restaurant that didn't put bread on the table. The chicken parmesan was ok. One chicken breast but at least it was decent sized. All in all, food was ok but you don't get much for your money. read more

We had about a15 minute wait for our table and sat comfortably at the bar. Pleasant atmoshere, but would recommend some draperies or something else to quiet down the noise factor. Food was excellent. We enjoyed the calamari with a spicy red sauce and the eggplant Gallo as appetizers. The margaretta pizza was delicious with fresh basil and cheeses. We would also recommend that they carry either white zinfandel or sweet riesling wines, since the moscato was the only sweet wine they carried. I don't think too many order dessert, because our waitress had to be reminded. I ordered the brownie served in a skillet with Hibbard vanilla ice cream. It was tasty but parts of my brownie were hard; difficult to cut, and it would benefit all, if the brownie was served warm. Overall, we will be back! We enjoyed the food and the camaradarie! Pleasant owners and wait staff! read more

I love this restaurant!!! I've been here numerous times and it's always a good time. The food is delicious, the ambiance is just what you're looking for in this beautiful town. The family that owns and operates the restaurant is absolutely amazing and they always make you feel like you're family and you're eating at your home. Can't wait to come back. Thank you again Gallo for such a wonderful time. read more

Where to start, my husband and I ordered online for pickup a traditional pizza and an order of fried meatballs. The hostess was the worst and was snarky with my husband for I don't know existing... all she had to do was hand him a pizza so what exertion and effort on her behalf was minimal yet perturbed her greatly. The food was COLD not like oh well the ride home cooled it, I'm speaking of the lack of heat at all. The meatballs well I could brown up some from Walmart and give you an equivalent situation and the pizza was the most bland situation. The pepperoni was ok... there is your one star. It sucked no wonder no one was in there when we went to get our food, waiting for the failure so something new can move into that building! read more

This was a much anticipated visit, this is the first coal fired pizza oven in our area. I ordered a pizza, and my husband ordered eggplant and meatballs. His meal was delivered 20 minutes before my pizza arrived. When we kept questioning where my order was, I was told they came out of two different kitchens. My understanding was that pizza in coal fired ovens is quickly baked. Once the pizza arrived it was delicious, however, my husband had already finished his meal, his was adequate but nothing special. The atmosphere was congenial and the wine list was great for a small place. They have been open several months and should have worked out these kinks. The staff was comprised of young kids, so they need more experienced people running the restaurant. read more
