The staff went all out for our Anniversary. Food was delicious, atmosphere is always top notch. We dined out on the patio tonight. The weather was perfect, but not sure if they can take credit for that. We ordered a few of our favorite menu items to share and it was perfection.

Amazing restaurant! The closest to Italy you will find in Central California. Great vibes inside and outside on the patio, fresh, delicious and seasonal menu, great wine list. The staff is phenomenal, especially GM Cal who is without a doubt the best restaurant manager we've come across. He's so gracious, hard working and accommodating! Thanks Cal and Galletto team, see you again soon

So happy I went here for my birthday! Staff is very friendly and attentive, also got this delicious little vanilla ice cream for free :) The bathrooms are so pretty and the atmosphere is dim and cozy. Obviously food was great too! Will be happy to return here when the time comes!

Amazing. Best ribeye I've had in the central valley area and the prices are reasonable for the quality. The seafood risotto was underwhelming but the kids pizza was actually great. Peach cobbler wasn't great. We always get the Frito misto too. Overall we love this place and tried some new stuff and had a great time. Outdoor area is a great family atmosphere. You just have to be ready to park in the garage down the street or find street parking.

I enjoyed a Blackened Salmon. On the side were roasted marble potatoes, bell peppers, squash, and it was topped with a lovely lemon caper beurre blanc sauce. Just spectacular. Couldn’t have been better.

It was fantastic atmosphere. The grilled octopus was amazing. The calamari was served with breaded olives, onions and asparagus. Shoutout to the chef
