    I reserved a table for Mother's Day for my wife and she loved the food. We have been here before and we both liked the atmosphere, decor, and the service. Our waitress was extremely attentive even though the restaurant was near capacity. Ava was outstanding with her service. Thank you for a memorable moment in life.

    It was our first time and will not be our last!! From start to finish it was such a delight. We are always passing this place and me and my husband decided to check it out. It is so clean and inviting and top notch customer service. The food was excellent. I got the crab bisque and the Mediterranean trio. My husband got chicken parm. We intend to return to try more. Our server, Joe, was so in tune and friendly and made the experience seamless. We hope to get him again and again!! The lighting, the smell, the music and the decor was perfect. Great great job!!

    Pleasant room, great staff paying attention to diners. Prompt service but not rushed. We've been before and will come back. Overall, the food isn't exciting, but it is really good. Do not go during their busiest times. If energetic is code for don't bother wearing your hearing aids, they won't help, well, it was that loud during most of our meal.

    What a pleasure to find a high quality Italian restaurant with a kitchen that stays open late. Galliano works well for families that want to eat at 6 pm, and for adults that enjoy going out to a late dinner. Excellent drink menu, first class appetizers (small plates.) We'll be back!

    Food and service was impeccable. A little pricey but the food is amazing. Our server Ava was very professional, polite, and very knowledgeable of the menu, wines, and provided excellent suggestions on what to order.

FAQs

Yes, Galliano is a popular choice for date night. Guests repeatedly praise the stylish, casual‑elegant ambiance, a cozy separate bar/lounge and live music that make evenings feel special. Many describe it as ideal for occasions like anniversaries and birthdays; the service is frequently called attentive and professional. Note that weekends and live‑music nights can be lively and a bit noisy, so book a reservation and request a quieter table if you want a more intimate experience.

Portions are generally generous for many entrees and brunch items, several guests mention plentiful servings and leftovers. That said, a handful of guests reported smaller portions or dishes that felt overpriced for the size. Because feedback varies by dish, consider asking your server about portion size when ordering (they’re often knowledgeable and give helpful recommendations).

Galliano serves lunch and dinner daily. According to the owner listing: lunch is served daily from 11:00 AM–3:00 PM and dinner daily from 3:00 PM–10:00 PM. They also run a happy hour (owner notes Mon, Wed–Fri 3:00 PM–6:00 PM) and offer weekly specials. If you’re planning a holiday or special celebration, call ahead to confirm hours.

It depends on your goal: for a lively night with live music and a buzzy atmosphere, go on weekend evenings or nights when the lounge hosts entertainment. For a quieter, more relaxed meal, weekday lunch or early dinner times are best. Brunch is also popular and well‑reviewed. Reservations are recommended for weekend evenings and holidays to avoid waits.

Galliano offers several seating options: a main dining room with an upscale yet welcoming vibe, a cozy separate bar/lounge area for cocktails and more casual dining, and an outdoor patio that guests enjoy. The restaurant also accommodates private parties and events, so you can request a private room for celebrations. Call ahead to reserve specific seating preferences.

Galliano blends casual‑elegant style with a warm, inviting vibe, great for date nights, celebrations, or a relaxed dinner with friends. Guests praise the attractive decor, attentive service, and lively lounge. Expect an energetic atmosphere on weekend nights and live‑music evenings; the space can be noisy at times. Overall it’s described as classy, comfortable, and suitable for dressing up a bit while still being approachable.

The dress code is casual dress. Guests frequently mention dressing up for date night or special occasions, but the atmosphere is relaxed enough that smart casual attire is appropriate. If you have a private celebration or special request, you can always call ahead to confirm any expectations.

There isn’t a complete public list of payment methods in the provided information. Several guests reference paying by card and one guest mentioned a credit‑card fee, which indicates the restaurant accepts major cards. For specifics (cash, contactless, gift cards, or corporate billing), call the restaurant before your visit to confirm accepted payment options.

Yes, the team at Galliano is used to handling special requests. Guests report managers and servers answering ingredient questions, accommodating birthday touches (like celebratory desserts), and supporting private‑party needs. For dietary restrictions, seating preferences, or celebration arrangements, call ahead so the staff can prepare and ensure your visit goes smoothly.

Yes, families and children dine here regularly. Guests mention celebrating birthdays with kids, enjoying brunch with family, and family dinners being common. While many menu items are classic Italian and portions can be generous, there isn’t a published kids’ menu in the provided data, so consider calling ahead if you need child‑specific options or an early seating for younger kids.

Busiest: weekend evenings, holiday nights (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, New Year’s Eve), and nights with live music, expect a lively, crowded atmosphere. Quietest: weekday lunches and early weekday dinners tend to be calmer and better for a relaxed conversation. Brunch can be popular but generally quieter than peak dinner service on weekends.

If you want atmosphere and entertainment, go Friday or Saturday evening for a lively scene and lounge music. If you prefer a quieter meal or a relaxed conversation, choose a weekday, weekday lunch or an early weekday dinner is often more peaceful. Sunday brunch is also well‑reviewed if you want a casual, tasty meal with a friend or family.

Yes, Galliano accepts private parties and can accommodate on‑site private events. The owner description specifically notes they allow private parties and offer catering services, so it’s a good choice for celebrations and group events. Call the restaurant to discuss room options, menus, and capacity for your event.

Yes, guests report dining at Galliano on holidays such as Christmas Eve, Mother’s Day and New Year’s Eve, so the restaurant does operate on many holidays. Still, holiday hours can differ and services may be busier than usual; call ahead to confirm holiday hours and make a reservation for special dates.

Yes, guests mention a pleasant outdoor patio area. Several reviews highlight the patio as a nice spot to sit when weather permits and describe it as a cute addition to the lounge and dining areas. If you prefer patio seating, ask the host when you make a reservation.
