Pizza is all right.

The prices were unreasonably & overly increased in 2025. Surprisingly, they charge more for takeout than a dine-in & certain prices on invoice did not match the menu price. Some portions have also decreased in size or quality. Regular customers are the first to notice these greedy & unfair practices. The place just has an overall dishonest vibe now. Maybe administration changed.

One other issue is the lady manager/owner who is constantly fixating guests. It feels like you are being watched & monitored by a security guard. Could be more subtle. The gentleman however (Marco I believe) is incredibly kind & professional.

Please adjust your prices & service & realize there is a lot of competition in the area.

Very good food. The pasta felt like home, traditional tomato & meat sauce served in abundance. Really liked the vibe as well, romantic & intimate, perfect for a nice date.

The best part was the service which was absolutely outstanding. You can tell they care about you, having the best experience, & seing all the staff workinf & enjoying being there makes it feel like you're in the right place.

A neighbourhood corner where the knowledgeable seem to be regulars, Osteria Gallo present its food with warm greetings, pride, decadence & layers of tasteful nuances in often deceptive simplicity thx to the high talents of its chef & the superbly high quality of handmade & hand picked ingredients.

From pasta full of flavors to layered delicious cheese on pizza, my friend & I had a memorable night there & have been craving to go back ever since.

Highly recommended. Bravo

From the moment you step inside this cozy neighborhood Italian spot, you're greeted like family - & the warmth doesn't stop there. The atmosphere is charming & cozy

The menu is traditional Italian cooking, with every dish prepared with obvious care & attention to detail. I had the osso buco - tender, slow-braised, with a rich sauce you'll be thinking about it for days.

Beyond the food, the service is impeccable. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive without hovering, & genuinely passionate about what they do.

Whether you're a longtime lover of Italian cuisine or just looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this restaurant delivers every time. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back - & bring everyone you know with you.
