20 Best Italian Restaurants near Galena

“Best dinning experience we’ve had in years! The staff were very friendly, and the food was out of this world amazing! My partner and I ordered the calamari as a starter, I ordered the spaghetti meatballs and sausage, he ordered the Alla vodka pizza for our entrees, and then we finished with the lemon blueberry bread for dessert.There wasn’t one thing I didn’t like about Toni’s Trattoria! The service was very quick. We didn’t have to wait long for our food. Everything tasted amazing! This is our new favorite Italian spot and we will be regulars.“

“Try it. You might like it.I met WFH co-workers for lunch. We had a great time. It was during the cold snap. It wasn't busy at all. It was clean. Organized and roomy.Order at the counter. Soft drinks are by the bottle. The only staffer we encountered was friendly and efficient. Orders came out quickly. The food was tasty, appetizing in appearance, and reasonably priced.I prefer a thin crust pizza. They serve a crust that is thicker than I favor; however, it was a great change of pace and provides another tasty alternative in the area. I took my son (home-schooled) who prefers a thicker crust; he gave it a solid thumbs-up.“

“Here for dinner ? I'm having a medium old world pepperoni ? and mushroom ?? my wife is having the Lasagna dinner it comes with salad ? bread and butter Ashley is our server and it's pretty busy as it usually is! She did a great job, she was on top of EVERYTHING!! She took complete responsibility for the pizza I ordered, there was a accident and she comped my pizza and discounted my wife's dinner. Wow ? amazing service!!!! Ashley is an exceptional person ? and a asset to say the very least ?Parking: Can be difficult depending on how busy they are!Kid-friendliness: High chairs and kids with families.They have a kids menu!Wheelchair accessibility: No steps!“

“This location has severely gone down hill. I'm leaving 5 stars because it's important for the business to get positive reviews, but my experience was less than stellar. The short north location is significantly better. Our waiter was amazing, and the service was wonderful, but stellar service does not make up for poor food. The Burrata is what we always share together, and this time the tomatoes tasted like a bitter salsa. The meatball in my pasta was undercooked so much that it just mashed into a bolus of meat slurry, and my wife got the ravioli mezzaluna that was a salty mess with the texture of mashed potatoes. Please do better, we love this restaurant and we want to go here, but we won't be back to this location until the food improves. Bradley was our waiter, and he was amazing, and the drinks were great.“

“Rolando went above and beyond for my wild and crazy birthday party of 16 people! He was on his game the entire night! Everyone loved their food! It was so quick to come out, we were all impressed! I hope Villa Nova stays around forever in all its kitschy glory!“

“If you live close to this place and haven't tried it, shame on you!! We were looking for pizza and pasta for lunch from somewhere we had never been before. That is always a little scary!! We fortunately picked Pasquales. We ordered the garlic knots. They are Huge, Crispy where they need to be and chewy not doughy. And so cheap!! We decided to try the Meat Lovers Pizza and the Penne and Meatball too. Neither dish disappointed. The crust is so thin and crispy but not burnt at all and the amount of toppings was very generous. We have a lot of leftovers to take home. We both decided we would make the 45 min drive to eat here again and again. The server Makayla (sp?) was very friendly and the speed of service was Great!! Then there is the dessert case. We brought home a cannoli, a cream puff , a cinnamon roll and the peanut butter cookie sandwich with chocolate. So excited to try them too!“

“Is it fair to be more critical of an expensive restaurant than a mid-priced or inexpensive one? I think so. For a dinner for two that cost $190 (including the tip), I expect near perfection. First, I think they kind of forgot about us as we were a table of two in the corner. After we noticed that some folks who had come in after us were already getting their bread, my husband signaled someone and then we finally got ours, too, and his wine - which I think they also forgot about. He should've gotten that right away. It didn't have to bake. Then he got his Escargot which was bubbling hot and smelled delicious. Our salads came - nice and fresh but too salty for my taste. We both enjoyed our entrees (veal parm and a side of spag for him; a special of little pasta purses with a meaty sauce for me) but mine arrived lukewarm. His was nice and hot so maybe mine sat around for a while while they finished his. At some point he ordered more wine and then coffee and dessert and he was very happy but I felt like the experience left a little bit to be desired - especially considering the price. One thing I don't like at all is that the waiter rattles off the specials (and there are a LOT of them) and later on the desserts at light speed. It would be way better to be able to read them and think for a minute or two. It's a very comfortable small restaurant and my husband loves it but I don't.“

“Yelp never disappoints. This is a family-run Italian restaurant that hits all marks for service, food, and a great bar. I rolled in 30 minutes before they were closing on a Tuesday night and they made sure to not rush me to finish my amazing veal meal and push me out the door. The bartender was amazing, friendly, and the reason I will come back the next time I'm in Columbus.“

“We love this place. Food is always great, the crew takes great care of us, and the vibes are excellent. I usually get the gyro which is excellent, but this time I got the grouper gyro which was surprisingly also excellent! Keep in mind this is not a restaurant with servers, you walk up and order and they bring the food out to you. Not quite full service, but sometimes that's a little better than waiting for your server ? they do have a nice bar as well. And in the summer they crank open all the windows and it's like you're right out on State Street.“

“Phenomenal experience and exceptional service! We are always treated with the highest respect! Eric was our server , and he did an outstanding job! Our food was excellent! We love the spiendo de mare! It’s our go to every time! Best place to celebrate a birthday! You get a free desert! How sweet! The customer service is top notch!“

“Our server was amazing, refilled our drinks without asking, kept our table clear, very friendly!!! We ordered the Alfredo pizza and the manager brought it out to us and even served us our slices!! The service here is top notch. The food…. I’m speechless!!! Come with an appetite for sure. We had a 10/10 experience!!!“

“Lauren took phone order for 4 different items, had them ready exactly as she stated and brought them out to us with a big smile and great attitude. All our specific components were fresh, hot, and tasted so very good. The small calzones hardly fit on a dinner plate. They could feed up to 4 people!We continue enjoying meals from this particular Cottage Inn location. Kudos!“

“Excellent pizza! We have always gotten great service, food and value. This is a hand tossed crust style. Lots of toppings and a delicious sauce.Spectacular community business!They always support local events and initiatives-It's a really fun place to take kids and have them make their own pizza.Vegetarian options: Salads are good.veggie pizza are delicious.Dietary restrictions: Numerous optionsParking: Plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Super fun make your own kids pizza- friendly kids menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Standard accessibility“

“I’ve only recently started dining here and I love it. Recent news that it may not be here long is saddening and I will do my best to be here as much as possible until then. Sam runs a great restaurant that is welcoming and comfortable. The waitstaff are cheerful and make you feel like family. Jessie from my last visit, is attentive and familial. It would be a shame to see this place go and would be missed dearly.“

“DANG that's some good pizza! Never had Jet's before and I have to say, the staff was friendly. The delivery guy was really nice. The price I thought was reasonable based on other pizza places but when I got it, the pizza was way bigger than I thought it would be, generous with the toppings and fresh. Excellent value and taste.“

“When we moves to Ohio from Texas we were on the hunt for some good and authentic Italian food. Well, thank goodness an Ohio native told us about Giammarco's! We celebrated my husband this weekend with a nice sized group and everything was amazing! The food was so delicious, several of our guests took business cards with them so they could come back again to experience the entire menu's delicious selections.Kid-friendliness: The few tweens totally enjoyed everything especially the lasagna.Wheelchair accessibility: One of our attendees was in a wheelchair and she seemed to not have any difficulty getting in or out.“

“The food was amazing! We loved the fried pork belly! I got stuffed shells which was really good! Overall we both left full and happy. Angelo our waiter was great! Wished the seating wasn't so close to the door(a little cold) when the door opens. Overall great first tike experience!“

“I got the works and pepperoni half. The sauce is a bit spicy and fresh tasting. The dough is a little sweeter. The pizza was very good as the toppings are loaded on it. The restaurant is adding some much needed seating area. Once they get it done, it should be a great place to sit and enjoy some pie.“

“Sunday, September 17, 2023 was my first visit to this Sbarro and I was thoroughly impressed. I had a simple pep and cheese and I have to say that it was one the best pies that I have had overall in quite some time. Not to mention, in comparison to other Sbarro's pizza that I have had over the year this Sbarro's made the organization proud. I had a hard time trying to stop eating this pie. They have definitely gained me a new customer and I would highly recommend anyone wanting a fresh, tasty pie in my opinion that is made just right, I encourage you to give them a try.“

“Amazing service, they always treat me like one of the homies. It's gas station pizza, so nothing out of this world but it'll do in a pinch, cheap and fulfilling. Typical gas station spot but the service is why I keep going back for late night pizza.“
