"Our waiter was excellent…very professional and saw to it that every desire was met. My husband had the filet mignon and I had the halibut special and both were prepared perfectly and were delicious. We finished off with tiramisu and OMG.! Made our wedding anniversary very special. Wasn’t our first time and won’t be our last!"

"First Impressions and Atmosphere: Upon arriving at Galletto Ristorante right as the doors opened at 4:30 PM on 07/27/2024, I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted personally by the General Manager. This warm and informative welcome set a positive tone for the evening, highlighting the restaurant’s unique connection with the Gallo Center for the Arts. Owned by the Gallo Center, Galletto Ristorante creatively adapts its ambiance to match the theme of the performances at the center. On nights without specific events, the restaurant features an eclectic mix of music; for instance, during my visit, they played delightful 60s music, adding to the charming and relaxing atmosphere. The decor of Galletto Ristorante is simply remarkable, blending traditional Italian elegance with contemporary touches. The outdoor seating area is a particular highlight, offering a five-star experience. The lush greenery surrounding the exterior adds a refined charm that enhances the overall atmosphere, making it an ideal venue for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. During my visit, there were two large parties of 14+ guests, and the setting perfectly accommodated these events. Cuisine and Dining Experience: Galletto Ristorante prides itself on using freshly made, locally sourced, and farm-to-table ingredients. This commitment to quality is evident in the vibrant flavors and superior taste of the dishes, distinguishing the restaurant not only in Modesto but across the region. The freshness and authenticity of the ingredients provided a refreshing and distinct dining experience. However, there were a few aspects of the dining experience that merit attention. Both my guest and I found the sauces on our entrees to be overly salty. I would recommend ordering sauces on the side to tailor the flavor to your preference and especially for those with dietary restrictions such as high blood pressure. Service: While the initial greeting by the GM was exceptional, the overall service had notable shortcomings. Despite being the first guests to arrive, it took approximately 33 minutes for us to be attended to for our drink orders. This delay was compounded by the unprofessional response from the staff member who eventually approached us. Such lapses are incongruent with the high standards expected of a restaurant of this caliber. Additionally, the replacement of used utensils was neglected; they were left on the table until dessert, which is a deviation from the attentive service typical of fine dining establishments. Value and Pricing: Galletto Ristorante is currently revamping its menu, and I believe a reassessment of pricing is warranted. Some dishes, given their portion size, taste, and quality, seemed overpriced. Furthermore, the dining experience spanned two hours, which suggests a need for more efficient service, particularly in light of the idle staff and observed delays. Overall Impression: Despite the areas needing improvement, the General Manager’s attentiveness and the outstanding quality of the food made my visit memorable. Galletto Ristorante offers a unique and culturally enriched dining experience that I look forward to revisiting. The restaurant’s innovative approach of aligning its themes with the Gallo Center for the Arts, coupled with its dedication to fresh, locally sourced ingredients, sets it apart. I anticipate that with some fine-tuning in service efficiency and pricing adjustments, Galletto Ristorante will continue to enhance its reputation and attract more guests. Thank you for hosting me, and I eagerly await my next visit!"

"I recently visited a Thai restaurant downtown and had an incredible experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was truly spectacular; we ordered the coconut milk soup with veggies, green curry eggplant, Gen Tso Tofu, and fresh spring rolls. Everything was served promptly and prepared to perfection. Although we encountered a slight issue with one of our dishes, the staff were very considerate and addressed our request promptly. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we will definitely be returning in the future."

"This is our food from Osaka Sushi in Modesto! It was our first time here, and we always pass by it when we’re on McHenry! I think the fish is as nice quality and was yummy! My only complaint that the nigiri tasted really warm haha the California rolls were yummy and soft too! My sister’s udon had some good beef and a beefy broth! It was a pretty big portion too! My brother got the chicken katsu, and the outer coating was nice! This place was a little pricey for the food, so that’s where I’ll take off a star"
