- VVidalVIPChicago / Illinois •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe have been coming to Galena for 26 years, and this was our first time in the Irish "village" and Frank O'Dowds's. EVERYTHING was excellent. Brussel sprouts, Fish and Irish Chips, and Whiskey Glazed Salmon were outstanding. Irish Margarita was DELICIOUS, so excellent bar tending, as well. Lily, our server, was kind, thorough, attentive, and very helpful. Can't wait to make it back w some family and friends.More infoFrank O'Dowd's Irish Pub and GrillPrice: Moderate• Irish• Galena•4.7
- DDennisVIPChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoDecided to cap off my wife’s two-day BDay celebration with the 7 friends and family remaining in Galena after big Friday night BDay party of 30.. Chose Vinny’s and boy was it special! First off, the food. Italian sauces and pasta were all homemade (from Grandma’s recipe we later discovered from her GDaughter) plentiful AND delicious. If you like homemade meat balls as I do, get the side order! And oh my, if you like Garlic bread, they make it special and serve it by the boatload! We took some home! But the BEST part was our server - Grayson an unbelievably charming and delightful young lady. As we always do, we asked her what her story was? (Try it sometime, you w/be amazed). Former professional dancer, married to a former British soccer dude, both called into weekend service by her Irish “Da” (as they say in Dublin) who owns Vinnie’s with wife’s family. Turns out she danced in Chicago for the Troupe run by a very famous lady (Mrs. Bataille) who taught just about every little girl (including my daughter) in our hometown of Barrington. My son and I could not believe it. Then my Argentinian-born D-I-L (who happens to be a 50+ year old soccer player and fan of British soccer) went nuts over Ben, Grayson’s hubby. You can’t make this stuff up - probably one of the best meals from a cuisine and ambiance meals any of us have ever had. Highly recommend it!More infoVinny Vanucchi's 'Little Italy' - GalenaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Galena•4.5
