“Meatloaf was flavorful, sea bass was melt in your mouth, fried green tomatoes were yummy, salads and bread perfect! Every time we visit Hawk Valley in Galena we eat here!”

“Stopped in for Breakfast, were seated quickly even without a reservation, server took our drink orders right away, asked about food allergies offered us their daily special and helpful suggestions to help decide. Food arrived right away, looked and tasted fantastic.”

“Amazing stop to finish our day shopping downtown. Food was excellent and the service was amazing! Stop in- you won’t be disappointed”

“Great atmosphere and the tour is very interesting. Would be nice if they had service to the tables instead of just at the bar.”

“Great food .Love the satay, ramen, hibachi . Friends enjoyed it to.”

“I highly recommend Cucina Bella. I felt that I was back in Italy, where I have traveled extensively. The fresh food, the atmosphere, the music, the friendly staff and definitely BRAVO to the chef! The food reminds me of the authentic fresh food I had when I traveled in Italy! Include Cucina Bella for excellent dining as well as a memorable experience ! Enjoy!”

“Great service and friendly staff! Tacos were awesome. Will definitely be back soon.”

“I discovered Blaum Bros when we ate at 7 Hills in Platteville and I had the BEST Bloody Mary ever. I asked the waitress to show me which bloody mix they used and she showed me the Blaum Bros brand. So I went on a mission to Galena to get a case of the stuff! We had an awesome experience with the tasting room and I go back annually now to get my Bloody Mary mix fix!”

“excellent mocha, treats, empanadas, service and environment! it's so uplifting stopping in there!”

“Amazing staff, delicious vanilla chai, and amazing breakfast sandwich!! The Dbq Arb was so happy to have you at our event yesterday! Hope to see you soon! :)”

“Food was very good, prices were good and the service was excellent. Sure wish we had tried this place sooner. Much better than other places we have tried in Galena.”

“We were in Galena for the weekend and stopped in for Pizza and wings and both were awesome as well as the service! We stopped in another night and had the tenderloin and steak sandwiches and they were excellent and the service was amazing!”

“We purchased, about 10 days ago, Pie-Pumpkin bread, sweet rolls among other breads and the were DELICIOUS. I would recommend Kleins Market Bakery to anyone. When we visit we will go back.”

“There was only 1 employee working when we got here. Prolly 8 tables occupied & the bar.. She was working hard to keep up with drinks and was also making the food. A fella did show up to help after awhile. Wasn't her fault at all. We had pizza, which was average, at best. Like frozen pizza crust. The musician was fantastic! Atmosphere is cool.”

“The first time my son and I went in about three weeks ago and very friendly lady waited on us. We had a great latte. I had the orange and white chocolate and I couldn’t wait to go back again. Then today we did and not only was the latte not as good. I couldn’t taste the orange at all. (The friendly lady was there but didn’t make our drinks) but the girls were complaining about someone being from Wisconsin while they were at the drink counter making our drinks and how they have people from Wisconsin. I’m not sure if they were talking about me and my family BUT we are from Wisconsin and were standing right there and could hear everything they were saying. My daughter heard them saying this also. I was not impressed at all today. Which is sad because I really talked very highly of the place to my husband when I got the first coffee. And so did my son. I made a special stop there today and was really let down. I guess I should have just stopped at Starbucks that was next door to us in Dubuque but I would rather support a small, local business. I hope next time is much better again or I probably won’t be back again.”

“I had a burrito bowl, and it was so good. my first time trying their food, did not disappoint. fast and friendly service.”

“We were seated quick without a reservation... The service was great and the food was awesome. We had the filet mignion and it was delicious, and came with two side dishes. Great atmosphere. Check out the hotel while you're there and especially the library, which has videos playing on the history of the hotel and Gelina.”

“Hands down the best Fish and Chips!”

“Thank you for an amazing time and for safe ride home. You guys are the best!!!”

“Been to this Pub many,many times. We live close by. Always been a fan of the Shepherds Pie. Whenever we have visitors we come here because everyone wants Shepherds Pie! Went to dinner tonite 11/3/22. Original recipe Changed. Terrible mistake. It was horrible!! Someone made a big mistake in changing recipes. So disappointing.”

“We were just there on Jan 18th with 11 people. We did make reservations with Aaron & he was the one that informed me that they do now take reservations...very pleasant to talk to. We were upstairs, rather private ( just one other party up there but away from us). Our waitress, Bry, was great. We had one person running a little late, but Bry took our drink orders & my son ordered a wings appetizer which he said was really good.The beer bites & salad were a nice surprise & really good also. My son & daughter said their food was really good...mine was also great. Keep up the good work....we hope to make Gobbies a family tradition.”

“Had bfest and later in day stopped for ice cream. Quality & great prices, definitely take time to stop in!”

“The food is very good

Great patio space to bring our dog 🐕”

“Some places leave an impression because of the wine. Others because of the people. Jamie's Wine Studio gave us both.

From the moment we walked in, Jamie made us feel genuinely welcome. You can tell this isn't just a business to her, it's something she truly loves. Her passion for wine, her kindness, and the time she takes to get to know her guests create an experience that's hard to find anymore.

The wines were exceptional, but what we'll remember most is the feeling of sitting there, relaxing, sharing great conversation, and enjoying an atmosphere that felt warm, inviting, and authentic. It was one of those places where you lose track of time because you're simply enjoying the moment.

If you're visiting Galena, don't miss Jamie's Wine Studio. It's more than a wine bar, it's an experience, and Jamie is the heart of it. We left feeling like we'd discovered something really special, and we already can't wait to come back.”

“the best wine!!! wide variety!!”

“Nice clean, roomy home town restaurant. Went for breakfast, service was quick and large portions on the plate. Food was good, restrooms are clean and decent parking. Best part is your not downtown dealing with the crowds.”

“Everything was wonderful at the general restaurant in Galena. I would highly recommend it to anybody that would like a nice quiet meal. The ambience was just excellent. The ribs were outstanding. Everything was just perfect. Won't go back again.”

“Absolute best Restaurant in town!!! Hands done best steaks and seafood. Wait staff is the greatest. Very attentive to allergies etc.”

“Love coming here. The pizza is fantastic. The crust is amazing. Very friendly. Great service.”

“This store is so cute and interesting! The woman behind the counter said she has worked for the owners for over 9 years and it showed! She was very kind and knowledgeable. I bought orzo and squid ink spaghetti! Thank you Pasta Perfetta for being you!”

“An app I use found this place and counts calories from a photo of my drink. This soda fit the low calories I had left and tasted good. We walked in without a reservation. The restaurant was clean and quiet.”

“Great night listening to trivia and enjoying one of the best (I dare say the 2nd best) gluten-free pizzas I've ever had! Would have liked to see the golf simulator in action (next visit)!”

“New owners and staff, Wonderful place with lots of different ice cream selection and home made waffle cones all the time, wonderful team that are always so nice and make you feel so welcoming, you should probably stop in every time you’re in galena ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🍦 shakes, malts, sundae”

“This place is great. The food and drinks were awesome. Our server Aleska was super nice and very helpful.”

“Great steaks! Wonderful service and yummy french onion soup.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Vinny Vanucchi’s Little Italy during our visit to Galena. I ordered the Pollo Limone Siciliana, and it was absolutely delicious—the chicken was tender, and the lemon sauce was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere was warm and charming, making it the perfect place to enjoy a special meal. I would definitely come back!”

“We had my sons birthday party tonight and we reserved the party room. I just wanted to take the time to say how extremely happy we were at the food and service provided! The brunette with glasses (I am so sorry for not catching her name) made sure everything was great and was on top of our drinks, cleaning and service. We look forward to enjoying several more Happy Joe birthdays to come!”

“Teresa and Lita are super friendly and amazing at their jobs! Lita remembered our order and we had only been there 2 times before! Super sweet and would definitely go back!”

“Great local restaurant!! Wonderful staff. 😁”

“My partner and I ate here for our three year anniversary, Debbie and Lydia were incredibly kind and personable from the second we walked in the door. The fresh focaccia they bring you before your entree is beautiful and I highly recommend the lobster cavatappi. What a wonderful experience :)”
