Gallo Nero offers a warm and lively atmosphere with friendly staff and a welcoming vibe, and live music or entertainment often enhances the evening. Many reviews praise delicious Italian dishes and good service, while some note small portions, dishes that are tasteless, a limited menu, and occasional missteps with drinks or with staff knowledge, as well as a very loud dining room and higher prices. Overall, the feedback suggests a memorable experience with moments of excellence alongside some drawbacks, and many diners express a desire to return.
Dès notre arrivée, on se sent comme de la famille. L'accueil est chaleureux, sincère & attentionné - ça fait toute la différence. Le service est tout simplement exceptionnel : on est servis comme des rois du début à la fin.
La nourriture est délicieuse, pleine de saveurs, & on sent la passion dans chaque plat. L'ambiance est conviviale & authentique, exactement ce qu'on recherche dans un restaurant italien.
Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter. Nous allons assurément y retourne
Been here on many occasions & had very good experiences. This time was awful that I felt like a very famous chef when he criticizes restaurant food. Ordered a dish of lobster risotto & they bring me a plate of rice that looked like minute made rice. & to charge 60$ for that is unacceptable. Unfortunately I won't be eating here anymore.

They mention à singer got there thé singer sat down all night didn't sing. We order à drink the waiter didn't know how to make it . The waitress didn't know the menu at all. It was extremely loud everyone was talking loud. The menu had very little items to choose.I had tortellini à là Gigi tasteless.
On the menu it was written 24.00 & on the bill 26.00
Big disappointment.
Restaurant exceptionnel, tous les plats étaient réellement délicieux, le service est impeccable & en soirée un chansonnier pour bien terminer le repas.
Un rare 15/15 ! Cette place est tout simplement parfaite ! Superbe terrasse & salle à mangé bien propre à l'année !! Les plats sont authentiques & frais même quand j'y vais un mercredi après midi. Les propriétaires père & fils sont souriants & passionnés, l'accueil est invitante. On vous suggère des plats selon vos goûts & ce que je préfère par dessus tout c'est la justesse des repas! Quels délices! Je recommande fortement !
The food was amazing. It brought back my childhood memories of my Nona's cooking. The staff was very nice. I live a few hours away but will def go back for that authentic Italian touch of love in the food. Big thanks to all the staff for greeting us so well.
We were a group, & the waiter seemed in a hurry to serve us the water & wine our boss had purchased, without even asking if we wanted cocktails. He never offered us the drinks menu. As soon as we finished eating, he rushed to clear the plates & the bread, without checking if we wanted to continue enjoying our meal.
