I was thrilled to come to Galleria for dinner Sunday night, especially because they had the garlic knot sliders I kept seeing on Instagram! They're as tasty as they look - as is the spicy rigatoni with burrata. The hot honey adds a sweet heat to traditional vodka sauce while the burrata mellows it out. Their chicken cutlets are cooked to perfection. My stomach was only so big to enjoy those two dishes, but there were so many things I wanted to try. I look forward to going back and trying their pizza next time!

Wowza!!!! Absolutely delicious!! The garlic knots were so fresh and tasty we ordered 6. Asked for a side of sauce which was yummy Buffalo cauliflower was very good. It had a nice hint of spice which woke me up a bit, but I really enjoyed it. Chicken sorrentino was excellent ! I loved the sun dried tomato in it. The sauce was to die for!! Definitely cooked fresh! 5 out of 5 Cavatelli bolognese had outstanding flavor and cooked al dente! Came with a small side salad. We got a Cesar and the dressing was fantastic! Service is usually only counter service, but they took our order because they weren't busy at the counter. Very friendly staff and super knowledgeable about the menu! Saw probably 20 FRESH slices of pizza. I swear I couldn't decide on one. I wanted to try each of them. I'll be back sooner rather than later. Thank you for a wonderful experience, I can't wait to try the hero's and pizza next time!

We didn't try the pizza but had dinner here. It's a casual place where you can seat yourself. The pizza side is separate from the restaurant. The service was friendly but slow. We ordered arancini for an appetizer and it was crunchy on the outside, tender inside and the sauce it came with was delicious. For mains we got papardelle and spicy rigatoni burrata. Both were great, well plated and portioned. My only question was why not have the burrata warm or hot as it being cold against the hot pasta wasn't best. Other than that it was a solid meal.

The Pizza is always fresh and Always on point! the food is also a must try like the chicken parm dinner is my go to and it's always perfect every time. The reason why its not 5 stars is because imo They do need to work on customer service and try not to make the customer feel rushed when they are ordering slices. Other than that i believe this place is overall worth it.

Incredible place, will definitely be coming back. Everything we got was amazing - the spicy vodka rigatoni, the chicken cutlet vodka and pesto hero, and our favorite was the chicken cutlet with vodka sauce in a huge garlic knot. Best garlic knot I've ever had! The owner Ciro was also so kind and welcoming.
