New Castle Italian in a casual atmosphere with Rock Star service. There were about 20 of us arriving at 4:30p for dinner (many old people were amongst us, lol). The staff was amazing with taking orders, refilling drinks, clearing plates and drinking the food. Great job team! Thanks for hosting the family minus one! The bread was one of the best dang breads I've seen in a restaurant. It was crusty and soft and HOT AF at first which was awesome. No problem with the butter on that stuff. The Wedding Soup wasn't my favorite as there were no Pepe's in it. I don't know about you, but I prefer my Wedding Soup with Pepe Noods instead of just meatballs and greens. The broth was good, but put dat Pepe in there! The Deluxe Antipasta Salad was ok. The lettuce was a rough chop of iceberg and the meats just seemed like they were hormel out of a bag. Some of the other dinners I saw others order looked pretty good. I was just trying to have a light snack and my "snack" items were pretty filling. read more

If I could give zero stars that still wouldn't be good enough. This place is AWFUL! The pizza sauce was spoiled it had a sheen on top of it and smelled rancid. The wedding soup should be called swamp soup as it was just thick spinach water. Service was awful, nothing at all good about this place. Do yourself a favor and drive a minute up the road to Sonis it's worth the trip! read more

Recently had an Birthday Party here with 18 family members, service was great, decor is nice. Food is average for Italian, had the chicken parmigiana smallish pattie, a bit dry n massive amount of pasta, ratio definitely off. read more

The steak salad was horrible. They used steak um to replace the steak tips! Also they don't know how to pack to go items! By the time it was delivered to me, the sauce was all in the bottom of the plastic bag! read more

Our family had a great experience here recently. Everyone at our table -- picky eaters included -- had no complaints about the food. From pizza to pasta to the amazing bread and soup, we loved everything. My eggplant parm was great and served with angel hair that was cooked perfectly. Our kids loved their pasta dishes as well and the whole family loved the bread and fried zucchini. The wedding soup was also great, but be warned -- there are no noodles if you're used to that. I should mention that service wasn't great but overall we had a good experience and prices were amazing. We'll definitely come back! read more

Everything is always good when we go. I don't think that we have ever had something I didn't enjoy. Yes some foods have been better than others but never a bad meal. We have always had good service and kind servers. I know things can get really busy at times and occasionally things can slip like a drink refill or extra napkins. Even when it's busy most times service is great ! My husband and I have been going to Gallos since before we were dating and that's been a good 25 years. We love the pizza and the garlic breadsticks. Sandwiches are great love the bread and dipping oil. Sauce is great too. read more

I've been to Gallos many of times and it at one time was one of our favorite places to eat. Although the past several times it seems the service has gone downhill a bit. There has been times my chicken parm sandwich has come out cold, not once but on two occasions. This most recent time we just went for the all you can eat fish and you can tell they weren't really prepared. No coleslaw and have to get a salad instead and it might have been the smallest salad I've ever gotten. Had to ask them to bring out tartar sauce with the fish. Just seemed a little unorganized. Like I said they use to be one of my favorites and now not so much anymore. We keep giving them another chance but just doesn't seem to get any better. Now I will say when they have the Mother's Day buffet is very nice in the banquet room and the food then is really good. read more

Gallo's. Great food. Great service. And the ambiance was welcoming. I'm a jerk when it comes to food, I don't post what I think of the place if I don't like it. I don't believe in a lousy review anymore. I try to only post after I've had a good meal. And in Gallo's case, Linda and I had really good meals. I was a bit concerned about a couple of reviews. Hunh, it was like that? And you're Italian too? But... Gallo's menu online has a few kinds of fish. And the apps looked good too. Will my Sicilian wife let us eat there? Because she is like that too. Lot of folks are. The meal has to hit the sweet spot. Which is usually Sunday sauce cooked on one of those basement stoves for hours, along with a meat course, a soup course, a big plate of baked bread. And then Grandma passes, and now what? If you can still get that at home, I am seriously jealous. If you can remember and really want that kind of meal, Gallo's hit what we had like boom. Just freaking great! Wifey got the Salmon almandine with greens, rice pilaf, and wedding soup. I got cod loin. With angel hair in oil and garlic and mushrooms and I had never had pasta like this before. It was sooo good. And my veg was green beans almandine. And wedding soup. And this review isn't about how much Mrs. Lucido-Lehtonen and I loved the ###### #### out of our dinners. Or how I told the waitress we wanted a nice slow meal, and Kazmere (Like the Zeppelin song, kind of) just had that clock running perfect. We had a meal that came out hot. On warmed plates. Full of delicious food. It came with a warm loaf of some unbelievably great bread. That i buttered and had with the soup, the hot bowl of just delicious wedding soup full of greens (endive i think) and them there little meatballs. The stock was chicken-licious. Sorry, couldn't resist. We also had, before the mains came out, a plate of the best calamari I have ever had. And I've been to Italy. A few times. Aviano Air Base in Pordenone region specifically. Near Venice. So, while I'm definitely not a chef, and am not lucky enough to have been born Italian, I'm pretty sure I know the tastes and smells of the fare in that area. And this dinner at Gallo's was so darn good! So. Not going to go on about how perfectly prepared and plated the dinners were. Or how torqued I am at myself for not coming here earlier. And the waitress Kazmere being, like, perfect. What I am saying is, this food was great. I loved it The wife loved it. And she wasn't kidding because she was talking later that night about; when are we going back? My wife, who I can only get to go to an Italian restaurant if there is steak on the menu. Sorry, I mean salad. So I guess I am giving a solid YES to should I eat at Gallos again with the wife. Like I said, not a review. It was our experience here. And we enjoyed it immensely. Now, if someone could tell me where I can get cannelloni, with veal filling not cheese, I'd appreciate it. read more

First time experience was horrible , food was disgusting. Manager was rude, upon ordering they misheard my order(which I understand mistakes happen) but when I arrived at the store I said why is the price so high? I asked for an eggplant parm sandwich, they rang it up as a sausage eggplant sandwich so it ended up being like 5 or 6 dollars more, I said no I ordered the eggplant parm, and she yelled back to the cook "Hey those eggplants need to have the meat taken off of the sandwiches. ( I am a vegitarian with stage 3b kidney failure and if I eat meat I feel very intense pain in my kidneys, I should have left right there. But I said no those need to be remade i can't eat meat at all, so they did remake it but I feel as if the chef didn't put a single ounce of effort into the second dish and if the first one looked similar you guys need to find a new cook. This is unacceptable. Reading all of these horrible reviews and that experience I don't understand how you're even still opens also 4 sides of ranch I paid for were forgotten and when calling and telling them, they said to come get the ranch, I said I dont think I'll be coming back to eat there anymore could I at least be refunded for the ranch i didnt get, she said no we can't do that. I won't be coming back . This meal was $27 and to think they expect a tip lmao paid $33 for this trash. Frozen fries, frozen eggplant, hell I think even the bread has been frozen. Do not eat here. I'd rather eat fast food than this read more

We've been there several times and every time we were highly satisfied! This evening was no different! Home made spaghetti, meatballs and wedding soup that's close to Mamma's! Our Server this evening also gets 5 Stars! Clara is awesome and making you feel right at home!!! A definite gem in the New Castle area! read more

The amore roma pizza was great and I'd get that again. The lasagne fell short for me. I'm used to meat in my lasagne for one thing and the filling just tasted like a ton of ricotta with a lot of dried parsley mixed in. Also I have to agree with another reviewer that their veggies taste like they came out of a frozen food bag. The manicotti and meatballs were good. The hot stuffed peppers also were disappointing - I make them much tastier so probably going forward will continue to order their pizza! read more

I'm a trained chef, not a cook, a chef and Italian, so I am especially picky about my food and almost never try Italian Restaurants when I can make the tastiest Italian food. My first visit I tried the Scampi Primavera, since Scampi is one of my favorites, I thought I would give it a go. The vegetables were from a frozen food bag of mixed vegetables I would bet you dollars to donuts that is a fact but I am speculating and can't be 100% sure. The flavor? What flavor? No garlic and if any was sauted in the order I had, it was scant or garlic powder or worse yet, garlic salt. A chef once threw a container of garlic salt at me for daring to pick it up and look at it. Just sayin. So, flavorless, hard and mushy veggies, how one does that is a mystery to me. The Tiramisu was outstanding and the coffee was weak. The bread, this seemed to me like some aweful pre made garlic bread one buys in a market premade and ready to pop in the oven. Just aweful texture and flavor. The server did a good job. My last visit, there will not be a third, I was running errands and thought I should give them a second chance, I rarely do with prior experiences with food venues. My choice was pasta with meatballs, a salad and I skipped the bread right outa the gate. No self respecting Italian, chef or not, would have served this meal to anyone. The marinara was tasteless with hints of Speghettios, I swear that is what my palet responded to as an assessment of the flavor complex or lack thereof. The meatballs, dear Lord, an insult to meatballs. How hard is it to make meatball? Lean ground beef, saute in onions, garlic, sesoned bread crumbs, parsley, S&P, an egg, some Pecorino Romano or Parmesan, fresh darn it, and parsley. THat is it, simple, roll, cook either on stovetop or in oven, drain fat and put in your marinara for an hour at minimum, serve over al dente pasta with a side of fresh Pecorino Romano. THis was awful, the salad was lettuce on a plate with a packet of some name brand salad dressing. How hard is it to make homemade Italian Dressing, I felt like grabbing an apron, going in the kitchen and ordering everyone to move aside and let me teach them basic cooking skills. I skipped a drink, desert and the coffee, left the waitress a good tip and let her know that was the poorest excuse for marinara and meatballs I had ever tasted short of my best friend who once served me pasta with ketchup as a joke. Whatever poor sods who think this place is an example of good italian food needs to get their taste buds tested or get the bar up ten notches to expectations. For Shame serving this under the guise of Italian Food. For Shame. read more

Truly one of my favorite meals of all time is their chicken tortellini Alfredo Gallos more than earned their 5 stars!

One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever attended . Awesome bread great homemade pasta. I highly recommend this place to anyone that has never been. Friendly staff read more

Food wasn't good. I picked my food up so there is t much to say service wise, but just know their spaghetti was bad. The spaghetti was all clumped together like it was kept in a fridge or pot too long and dried out. And the sauce was just slapped on top. Not to mention everything wasn't even moderately warm. I'm not picky but at least let the food be somewhat warm! If you want some pasta in new castle, save your money, tastebuds, and stomach by going to mangino's. read more

On the evening of Monday, September 18, 2023, four of us endured the rudest bartender any of us have encountered in decades. I won't name the bartender, but you may very have simultaneously and permanently lost four patrons. read more

Excellent Italian restaurant! The sauce is great. The pasta is fresh. They have a large banquet room at a reasonable cost (we had our wedding reception here three years ago). There are two main rooms and lately they added a bar area. The atmosphere is rather noisy even at noon for the lunch buffet. read more

The BEST!!! Italian ever! My wife and I just love it, the atmosphere, and the wonderful touch of adding the dipping oil -- WOW! Itsa italiana mmmmmmmmmm read more

Wow, fantastic flavor and seasoning with an old world style authentic Italian hint. Looking for fantastic pizza, go no further than here, you will be delighted! read more

Food is generic at best and I literally watched the older female worker basically assault the young door dash girl there. Screaming at her over confusion of a stuffed shells order. The dasher girl was polite and so was the tech support guy on the phone. The employee however was screaming like a psychopath! No joke after she tried to leave the worker THREW the bagged order at the delivery girls car! Who the heck does that!?!? If you like less then average food with a side of verbal assault then this is the place for the family . If they were smart they'd fire that woman FAST! read more

Today I decided to use door dash for the first time. I live in VA and my parents are still in New Castle. My mom has been sick for a few days and really wanted soup, so I thought it would be nice to have it delivered. I ordered a quart and there was a mix-up and only a cup was delivered. When I called Gallo's, the employee I spoke to in the phone immediately apologized and asked for my mom's address and delivered her another soup himself! I thought that was the sweetest, and best customer service I have EVER experienced. Gallo's doesn't deliver, and I'm still amazed at their kindness. They've always been one of my favorite places in town, but that really put them to the top of the list!! Thank you SO much!! The soup made my mom's whole weekend better :) read more

Our first visit... Really good quality ingredients, fresh. Pizza, pasta, soup and salad buffet for only $6.99. We will definitely come back.

I went there on my lunch break for their pizza buffet. There were over 20 people waiting for pizza. Within my 30 min lunch break (which I stayed for 45 mins) they brought out 2 pizzas. I only ended up getting 2 pieces of pizza for $10. Very poor way to run a business. Will never go back. read more

The best Italian restaurant. Great food, service and atmosphere. Sauce and food is so good, the serving size is more than enough but I did manage to eat the whole bowl of farfalle. So good, can't wait to get to New Castle again. My new favorite Italian restaurant. read more

Randomly stopped in when I was out this way, and I'm so glad I did. It is now one of my favorite places to go. I'm obsessed with the margarita pizzas! read more

How can I put this nicely...Quite possibly the WORST Italian I have ever had. I was really disappointed with this place. I know I shouldn't expect much being in New Castle, PA but honestly, this is an Italian-settlement area. So, I actually DO expect some old school, local Italian to hook it UP in this area!! We were here for my grandmother's 100th birthday party so it was buffet style. I will give a little grace because I know buffets are tough... However, this is what went down... Wedding Soup...disgusting...more like wedding poop. It was water with spinach, not even escarole...spinach! No noodles, minimal meatballs ans ZERO flavor Penne marinara...lukewarm and pukity. I wouldn't even give it a Ragu rating because it actually tasted more like ketchup with sugar added. Just NOT good. Green beans...Canned, enough said. Potatoes--actually not bad. Soft, flavorful, pretty good. Bread-not crunchy, cheap, not fresh Salad, ok..pretty standard. Service was okay...nothing special. Maybe somehow they deliver a better product when you order in their main dining area but I can't recommend their buffet-style party room. Just not good. read more

Honestly I give all positive reviews but the food here and I have tried it twice has zero flavor. They bring you a packet of dressing with your salad to dump on your lettuce. The pizza is bland and the wings were greasy. They run cheap specials to attract customers but it's not worth it. The one positive they have a very nice bar area to watch your local teams play but do not order any food for your healths sake. read more

ON POINT FOOD. I came here with my boyfriend for his 21st birthday dinner and we are new to new castle and omg this place was a effing amazing. I had the cheese ravioli which is my favorite food and it exceeded my expectations it was amazing. I can't wait to come back here! Also we got drinks at the bar and we just turned 21 so we don't know a lot of drink names yet and the bartender was so nice to us and the drinks where delicious!! read more

Where do I begin... The wedding soup was inedible. Greens, water (not broth) and some bits of frozen meat. Bread was fresh, hot and good. The rest of our meals tasted like cafeteria food. Veg straight out of a bag, no seasoning or butter. Entre's really lacking in inspiration and flavor. Sigh. $50 that I will never get back. read more
