The food is good as always. If in doubt order the clam chowder. Just my opinion but this place has the best clam chowder in the area. What sets Galettos apart is the bartender. Sandra is the best. Always makes my wife her favorite drink even though it is not on the menu. This is our go to restaurant in Modesto.

We had a lovely dinner here before a show at the Gallo Center. Maybe we looked like out-of-towners, but our server asked if we were going to the concert and stayed very attentive to the timing of our meal to get us to the show on time. We had the grilled octopus appetizer, split the butter lettuce salad, and had the duck confit canneloni and saffron wild boar ragout bucatini. It was ALL excellent! Would happily come back any time we are in town.

Our server was great! The drinks came right away. But the wait for everything else was too long. I’ve never had such awful calamari...deep-fried lemons??? And deep-fried olives??? The veggies and potatoes were great, but the salmon was tasteless once you cut off the skin. May not be back

We’ve been going here for years but the last 3 visits or so have had the same outcome. The food has become bland with lack of flavor, minimal changes to the menu, not a broad scope of specials, subpar service. It used to be our very favorite.
