Gallo Family

We had an 80th and Sweet 16 combination party for my Father-In-Law and daughter at Gallo Family and I am so happy we did. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. The team took care of us with such care and diligence from the moment we began the planning process. Lindsay and Christie were amazing and really made us all feel welcomed and comfortable. The back room was perfect; the sound system and projector were a total added bonus and brought pictures from the past alive. Our next party will be held there again because we were made to feel like we were a part of the Gallo Family!

I want to leave a review of the Gallo Family Restaurant regarding the dinner meal my wife and I shared on 6/21/2023 while staying at the La Quinta Inn next door to the restaurant. There are two parts to this review, the first regarding the food and the second regarding the service.
To start, my wife and I have eaten calamari as a Starter, over a wide range of territory and establishments. But the Crispy Calamari (no peppers) and Aurora Sauce served here was outstanding, I am inclined to say the best we have ever tasted. Each piece of the generous offering was perfectly cooked, with a light chew and great flavor. The truly outstanding part, however, was the coating in which the calamari was dressed. Almost as if it was a part of each morsel, the coating was light, with a crispy element and never fell off. The Aurora Sauce was an outstanding complement to the calamari. For the entrée, my wife had Chicken Marsala. She was very pleased with the dish, and the small taste I did have, was full of flavor and rich of sauce. My entrée was the Zuppa de Pesce, and it was without a doubt one of the very best seafood stews I have ever eaten. I know a lot of superlatives, but all true from our perspective. The meal ended with pistachio gelato and panarea, a delightful first-time cake experience.
The second part of this review of the Gallo Family Restaurant is all about the service. In particular, the service as provided by Alania O. Ms. O was an outstanding server, upbeat, confident, and very knowledgeable. She was even challenging; the recommendations were hers for both entrees and the panarea – very nice. All in all, Alania was very entertaining, as well as a very professional server who made our meal much more enjoyable. In sharing conversation with others on Staff, attitudes were upbeat, pleasant, and totally in keeping with the Best tenets of a Family business. And while the décor might need some work, and aging, hopefully that will be coming to the Gallo Family Restaurant over the many years to come. I know for my wife and myself, we will be stopping in Danbury again, most especially, to patronize the Gallo Family Restaurant.

We stayed at the hotel connected to The Gallo while in town to visit my sick grandma. It was phenomenal!! ALL of the staff are professional, kind and attentive! The drinks are yummy, the food is filling and the prices aren't bad. I forget her name, but on Saturday night, the bartender we had was wonderful! She had shoulder length hair and a nice smile. Thanks again you guys for making a short time in town for a not so great reason- wonderful!

Enjoyed every second. Our server Alania was amazing! She was polite, super educated and very attentive. The food was perfectly seasoned and the dessert was just the icing on the cake. The Restaurant was not crowded, the decor was simply but cute and the music was nice and relaxing. We will definitely return!
