    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!

    Everything is always excellent every time we dine at Gallos. Tommy almost always comes out to check and make sure we are pleased with our food which always tastes amazing. We love coming here and hope to continue doing so for many years to come. We love their Seafood Creole and their Walleye is also excellent.

    Food is always amazing! We started with the fried oysters (our usual starter - yum!). I had the shrimp po boy and my husband had the pasta with “crack sauce”, crawfish cream sauce yumminess! The staff is always friendly and helpful. This place never disappoints!
