SOHO Location was great, but actually the worst service, horrific food and would not recommend this place to anyone. I felt bad for the waiter so gave a large tip-no silverware, did not pick up dirty dishes, served new plates on top of old plates, bread was gross and we did not eat the chicken or pasta-AWFUL all around and I eat out all the time:( would have rather gotten a $1 slice of pizza as this was also expensive for disgusting food

The food is terrible and the only thing worse is the service. None of the food is seasoned. It’s bland and void it f any flavour. I asked for garlic powder, Italian seasoning or anything that could season my dishes and they claimed the only thing they had fresh or dried was salt, pepper, and garlic olive oil. We had the stuffed mushrooms which we sent back, chicken park which was so planed I had no interest in eating and the chicken marsala which wasn’t as bad as everything else it was just the poor quality of the chicken breast which were likely previously frozen and my guess is freezer burned due to how spongy it was. We didn’t ask for anything we just simply had them remove full plates of food and when we asked for the check our waiter who was rude and acted bothered by us the hole time said “my manager said I can’t charge you” so at least they acted on it without us saying anything. In the end we were there almost two hours due to extremely slow service and had to try and find food that was consumable at 10pm so regardless of the no charge, the waste of our time was a huge disappointment.

This restaurant was beyond disappointing. Our order was wrong . . . twice and our server forgot about it. She was busy socializing with the other workers. The food was meh and definitely not authentic. The parmesan came out in a shaker and they didn’t have a fresh grated option. Lastly, completely overpriced for mediocre food.

My family and I came back to Galli because we enjoyed the young, energetic vibe coupled with above average food preparation. The bolognese was excellent and the chicken parm was more tender and delicious than most of the veal parm I've had in the city. My only gripe is the herculean task it took just to get some bread. We look forward to our next visit.

We’ve been here too many times to count but last nights visit disappointed. Service was incredibly slow - we were there for almost an hour before we got our appetizers (which were cold), and then all four entrees came out incorrect so they had to remake them.

We were seated by the friendly host and could not get service for 15+ minutes despite requesting two bus boys to notify our server politely. We were so hungry we informed her to fire everything together. Tartare, Pescatore, sides, and Mexican cocktails were fine. Booth seating was homely. Beyond that the pumping club music really detracted from the ambiance, which was set to uncompromisingly dark. Our food runner was more friendly and professional than the stoic server. He was great. Next door’s Antique Garage’s been my staple for years as a native and will most likely return there; a more congested floor plan (think: you & your neighbors are side-by-side and will hear everything) but the ambiance and music level’s a step up in authenticity and class. This is Mercer St (not Jersey City). It seems management does not wish to heed the other reviewers on here. Ciao ciao.

I had modest expectations but overall even those were not met. They did call me when I left my phone behind so points for that. Furniture was worn out, restaurant could use a facelift. Emphasis placed on a very trendy neon sign I imagine is there to distract from very average food and experience. Fungi pasta sauce was watery instead of creamy. Shrimp overcooked in my date's dish. Tuna tartare was good but they should either serve less tartare or more bread with it. Tried the Bourbon Street drink and it was terrible. Overall I've had worse but I would not return. I went on a Monday evening so maybe they put on a better dinner service on weekends.

My boyfriend and I went here for Easter Sunday and I think the food was ok- we both had chicken parm with penne pasta. He thought the pasta was bad and it came cold (for both of ours) but we both liked the chicken. The portion size of the pasta was not enough and did not fill us up. The amount of food in the Instagram pictures did not look the same as it did on our plates. I drank Pinot noir wine and he had a modelo beer, my wine was ok I’ve had better else where. Overall I think it was a bit too pricey for the kind of food they served us. But I did like the sign they had where I took some pictures at.

Like other reviewers, we found the music way too loud. The worst thing was that the restaurant did not properly check us in with opentable even though we were on time, told the greeter we had an opentable reservation and the greeter acknowledged that we had a reservation. I contacted them the next day when opentable said we were a no show. I spoke with the restaurant manager. He said he’d look into it and call me back. That never happened forcing me to wait through over 20 prior callers to get to the help desk so I could get credit.
