Galletto Ristorante

Dining at Galletto's is one of those dining experiences you won't forget. From the impeccable service, delicious dishes, wonderful cocktails (or mocktails), and the warm ambiance... there is just something so special about this restaurant. Like other reviews, the service here really is top notch. You can always expect it to be the highest level. The staff are so attentive and kind. The food. Wow. Delicious. Every. Time. Perfect portion sizes. Beautiful plating. My personal favorite is the short ribs. When you come to Galletto's, you can guarantee it will be an incredible experience.

Warm lighting, always full and lively, friendly attentive service, food is always cooked perfectly and well presented. Their fresh bread with the olive oil and balsamic is addictive. The salmon and mashed potatoes are my go to but the chicken is also exceptional. Husband loved his steak.Their pizzas are thin crust and freshly baked in a fire oven. Desserts are very rich, definitely enough to share.

I could go on and on about the service, because it was spectacular...so I will. Waiters and busboys were very attentive, despite it getting slowly packed throughout the evening. From cleaning the crumbs off our table to keeping track of our empty glasses to fill them right back up; I even saw one of them helping a family carry their baby's car seat into a booth. They offered to keep my mom's birthday cake in their fridge until we needed it at the end, which was an awesome plus. Fortunately, our waitress was very kind and patient with our uncertainty of my family when it came to how to go about my mom's cake for her birthday (we're not cake people so we were thinking discussing do we cut it, not cut it, cut just a couple pieces, who wants cake who doesn't, so thank you to whoever you were!) Also, shout out to my former student works there, he's awesome. Okay, so my mom is one of those women very hard to impress, so for her to say her short ribs were delicious is major. The meat seamlessly came apart with each bite. Y'all it melts in your mouth. Also, my bolognese pasta was a perfect amount. We also had the Fritto Misto as an appetizer for five, which was also flavorful with the dips on the side. The fried lemons were a surprise and equally as crispy and tasty. Definitely hit the spot for a family birthday dinner.

Came here for the first time on Valentine's Day and it was the nicest restaurant in all of Modesto. The vibe was amazing. Service was wonderful and attentive and the food was delicious. My boyfriend and I will definitely be back soon.

Bailey, Thanks for an amazing night. Great service and the ambience was great. Love the restaurant and the food was simply amazing as always. Actually proposed to my wife here years ago and completely love bringing her here tonight again. Perfect Valentines dinner.

I haven't been in the area to enjoy this place for a few years but they are still incredible. Very old school ambiance but that is a good thing. There were 6 of us and all the meals were great. I had the seafood rissoto. It had excellent seafood and rice with a red broth that they poured at the table. Although the rice wasn't the normal creamy rissoto consistency it was excellent. Others had lasagna and bolognese pasta. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The meatballs appetizer was the standout of the apps that we experienced.They also have a nice full bar if that is your inclination.Next time I'm in the area I will be back to try something new.

First time here on a pre-birthday event! Ok, the outside scenery is beautiful. They have grapes hanging on the ceiling and these lion head water fountains. For food, I got the bruschetta as an appetizer and I thought it was great. Juicy tomatoes, not too much balsamic sauce. My pasta dish was fantastic. I had forgotten the name of it but i think it had rigatoni in the name I believe? The tiramisu was ok. It's one of my favorite desserts so I needed to try but I would skip out on the gelato. I didn't find it special but good place if wanting to celebrate someone special

After years of wanting to come here I finally made a reservation for a patio table for my birthday. Upon arrival they sat us immediately. Ambiance is nice, covered patio with vines, water feature and a fireplace.We were greated by the waitress and she immediately said Happy Birthday would you like a complimentary glass of champagne. They served focaccia bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. The bread was soft and very good.I ordered the house soup which was Sausage & Kale with bacon & potatoes in a creamy broth, so good.My wife ordered the lasagna and I ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese. We were instructed that the pasta is house made and you can tell. Everything was so delicious. For dessert we shared the Peach Cobbler, they do a different take on it by serving it with a biscuit in the middle and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, still a very good dessert.For cocktails we had an Old Fashioned typically made tasted good. My wife had the elderberry Margarita and lemon drop, she enjoyed both of them. To end the night I ordered the Johnny Walker King George as my birthday treat. Not sure I would pay the price again but it was very smooth with a hint of smoke.Overall a great birthday night. We will definitely be back, the pizza looked amazing.

Top notch service! The service staff at Galletto Ristorante make having a meal there, will be even more special! Water glasses that never seem to get empty and charming servers every time! Besides excellent service, every meal we've ever had - pizza, pasta, short rib and all desserts are expertly prepared. Easily one of our Modesto favorites!

Good but portions are extremely small. Not kind of small. Extremely small. You will not get full.
