    Great atmosphere - quaint, inviting and in keeping with what you'd expect from an Italian-style bistro. Meatballs & fried arancini balls were amazing as appetizers. Vodka pasta & fish of the day were spot on. Limoncello was amazing to top the meal off: Vibrant and very moist (obviously made in-house, likely that day). Tommy Gallo & crew delivered an A-caliber experience as you'd expect at any of their locations; they still understand the meaning of true hospitality. We'll definitely be back!

    15th or 20th visit. Extraordinarily evening, We were slow in ordering, yet service was patient and balanced. Last visit the crayfish sauce was lacking, but this time everything was spectacular. Fried oysters, calamari, Muffuletta, black cod with crayfish sauce -- each dish stunned. Left extremely happy. …

    This place is the total package. Great food, great service, great vibe. All these combined makes this, in my eyes, one of the top restaurants in the Columbus area. Next time I won’t wait so long to return.

    Another quality meal with very friendly service at Gallo’s Kitchen. We started with the buratta appetizer which is one of our favorites and it was very flavorful. We both ordered the chicken piccata special and really enjoyed the juicy chicken and perfectly prepared pasta and lemony sauce. And even better — we both took home leftovers!
