Food was delicious and service was great, romantic and fancy.

Over all it was a fabulous place with great food.

Our server was absolutely amazing! Very attentive and took care of our table perfectly! Thank you!

Everything lovely as always. Just felt that the rissoto tasted more condiments that cheese & creme and had more Brussels than rice this time, was it the same chef?

Second date - successful! It was a very pleasant evening, with the great food matching the conversation. With my throat a little sore, at the end, I realized I was having to speak rather loudly, throughout. (That is the only lost star!)

Galletto's is the favorite restaurant of my wife and I! We love going there. Everything about Galletto's including its fantastic staff make for a great experience. I have also gone there a number of times for business lunches. It is wonderful for that purpose also.

We arrived a few minutes before our reservation. We were seated quickly. The service was smooth, and the food was excellent! Such a consistent quality in their meals. Great time spent for diner after some time at the theaters across the street.

Business meeting. Nothing could have been better!

Attentive service, amazing food, and a beautiful environment.

There for lunch with friends. Great selection. Guys had burgers and they were yummy, cooked to order and BIG! Soup and beet salad were great. Girlfriend had the patty melt with homemade chips (yummers) foccaccia (sp?) was killer with EVOO and vinegar. Waitress was awesome and helpful but not hovering.
Great meal!

Always a great place to go.... very comfortable atmosphere ... great food and an attentive staff who cater to your every need!

they placed our names on the menu. very nice touch. food was excellent.
service was excellent. probable one of our best nights out.

Perfect. Ravioli and risotto were great, shellfish appetizer is fun, too.

This was our third time eating at this establishment, thanks to friends who provided us with gift certificates. This is an amazing place in which to enjoy a meal. It is expensive but an excellent experience. The wait help is friendly and very attentive. The food is second to none in this area. The clam chowder was delicious as was the carbonara and the lasagna we enjoyed. Looking for a fine dining experience? Look no further than Galletto's. Enjoy!!!

Excellent server. Very good food.

It was Christmas Eve, and my fiancé and I wanted something nice, quiet and fancy. We heard that this restaurant was the best in Modesto. We made reservations, and we ended up being very displeased.

The positive part of the evening: The restaurant was decorated prettily, and our waiter "Chris" was excellent.
The drinks were very strong (which is a plus), but were made with such poor quality liquor, that it made them un enjoyable. Our margaritas tasted like drinking just poor quality tequila straight.

The main issue was with the food. They had cut the main menu, and only offered a 3 course meal: Salad, A choice of 3 meats, and desert. We were not told this when we made the reservation, but decided to stick it out (We had gotten dressed up and it was Christmas Eve).

The salad was unlike any salad I had ever seen. It was literally just Lettuce with burnt croutons on top. They brought bread that was very stale, and very cold.

I got the steak, and my Fiancé got the chicken. The chicken was tasteless, tough, and overcooked. The steak was so rare that blood was coming out (after being told to please cook it well done). It was sent back twice. Neither of us ate much of the meal thus far, and I think the cook had to be new.

The desert was literally 3 bite sides of very stale deserts that tasted far worse than store bought deserts.


To whoever is reading this, do yourself a favor, and go elsewhere.

It's difficult to bring off a holiday prix fixe meal, but this was outstanding; great work by the staff. My only complaint is that the music was just a bit too loud, making conversation difficult at times.

Best Christmas Eve dinner

Xmas eve. Didn’t realize it was a set menu. My fault not there’s. Lovely decor and fantastic service

The ambiance is very romantic if that is what you are looking for. Perfect place for a formal dinner too if that's what you want.
The waiters are very courteous and their service is great aswell! The waitress who served us was quick and helped us with the menu! Brought our food quickly and just how we wanted it.
The food is beyond tasty. I had the Gnochetti Sardi in was divine! My husband got the Ribeye Steak it was the best he ever had! We also got the Clam chowder which was also great.
For the dessert we had the Tirmasu, it was a little bit dry but otherwise everything else about the restaurant was great!!!! I would def suggest to others!

Christmas meal was lovely, ambiance can’t be beat.

Everything was fantastic: the drinks, the bruschetta, the risotto, the salmon, and the short rib.

The food was excellent and the ambiance is spectacular! This restaurant will not disappoint you. I think it is the only "San Francisco-like" restaurant in a 50-mile radius. It was a great way to celebrate my wife's birthday with friends.

This restaurant did not mandate staff or customers wear masks. Only two staff had on masks. A few customers wore them into the restaurant but most did not.

My lasagna went back one time to reheat as the plate was hot but not the food. Taste was good - just never hot enough.

Chris was great on service. And yes, he wore a mask!

It was our (Hubby and me) 1st time there. Everything was FABULOUS…the service, the food, and the ambiance!!!

As hard as they tried, it was still a bit chilly on the patio. The place was packed, good to see. Service and meal was terrific as always.

Very good restaurant, great food and service- we love it.

Excellent experience

Wonderful dinner with exceptional service! Recommend!

We love coming here for a nice dinner out. The service, ambience, and food are all really good each and every time

As close to perfect as it gets. Everything came out as if on cue, Monica was excellent, and the tiramisu is back!

Our third time here, and we loved it as always. Flawless service, excellent food, attractive dining room. Great for a splurge (it's fairly expensive).

Christmas work lunch.

Galleto is hands down my favorite restaurant in Modesto!

Great meal and our server was on it!

Great service and great atmosphere.
Entrees were very good.
Great service for kids as well.
Table oil for bread seemed low quality.

Romantic and cozy. Delicious food! Amazing service!

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable.

This restaurant has been hit or miss since it opened. The evening started rocky as we were to be seated behind a post. For a 5 pm seating. And few other customers there. We were told the seating was that way for a reason. But reservers don’t request specific tables. They just needed to say yes, we will change your table. But no, the manager had to get involved. And he made the same dumb comment.

After that, our server came who attempted to save the day. Very pleasant and she tried REALLY hard. I appreciate that and we left a 30% cash tip for her.

Next they were out of the Penner Ash Pinot, tho still listed on the wine menu. So the som recommends another Oregon pinot. Not nearly the same style and he should have known this. For $120/bottle it was average at best.

Then the food. Sampled the tomato soup before we considered ordering. Pass. Tasted like tomato paste. I make better at home.
Fritto Misto is consistently good.
Risotto was good but average. The seafood lacked seasoning tho the sausage was outstanding. Just do the sausage and skip the seafood. The chef tried too hard.
The short ribs were done well, but bone out. So it ends up tasting more like a tender pot roast than short rib meat
Lastly were the butternut squash ravioli. Fantastic. Should have had three orders of these.

The ambiance is always nice especially for Central Valley. But their chef just left (this seems to be a consistent theme with this restaurant). And the young women up from greeting should be changed out for more mature experience greeters. It’s where everything starts. Or at least train them. But if you can’t keep a chef I suppose know one thinks about the greeter.
We will wait 6 months before we try again. In the meantime try Tresetti’s across the street. They actually seem to care.

Wonderful experience
