- PPatrickIndiana •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoCouple things of note, server was prompt and attentive, not overly, just right. Bartender didn't make the old fashioned correct, and then a noisey party of 8 or 9 joined a quiet special dinner with there obnoxious banter.... Great experience overallMore infoVinny Vanucchi's 'Little Italy' - GalenaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Galena•4.4
- OTOpenTable DinerChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined on 14 Nov 2024Came here for an anniversary and they did not disappoint. I marked that our reservation was for an anniversary and after letting the host know the name, he wished us a happy anniversary. We were sat near the window and they set out a little sign that said “happy anniversary”! Such a simple but amazing touch. The food was fantastic as well. The bread may have been the fluffiest I have ever tasted and the salad was delicious. We got the salmon bruschetta and spinach tortellini and they were both phenomenal! It was our first time visiting. I’m sure we will be back to Galena and we will be getting a reservation here every time we visit for sure. Definitely a must try! Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful anniversary dinner!More infoFried Green TomatoesPrice: Expensive• American• Galena•4.7
