Vinny Vanucchi's 201 South Main Street, Galena, IL 61036

"Good afternoon everyone. Came here for the first time and had an Italian Beef. It was good but needed more spice. Miguel our server was fantastic. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in Galena. The atmosphere is amazing. Travel Photographer living in Galena."

"Vinny’s will officially go down in the books as one of the best Italian spots I’ve ever been to. I knew we were going to Galena so I did some research beforehand about where we wanted to do dinner and every search result / magazine I found recommended here. So we went. The atmosphere is adorable, and you feel like you’re in Italy. I kicked off my meal with a French martini and salad with their house made raspberry vinaigrette. Their garlic bread is some of the best I’ve ever had, and it pairs beautifully with their chicken Marsala. I split tiramisu with my parents and it lasted less than 30 seconds, we basically inhaled it. If you’re in Galena for the day, pop in here for some food or a drink. You can thank me later."

"It might be because we are spoiled with all of the Italian food in Chicago, but the food here was mediocre at best. It all just tasted very plain. This would be a great place to go if Olive Garden was something you thought of as really good Italian. The service was slow, but they were busy, so that wasn't the waitress's fault. Otherwise, the building and overall "vibe" was really nice."

"I was very impressed with their reaction to my gluten allergy. I have Celiac and when i told the waiter I have a gluten allergy, he immediately told me he’d let the kitchen know to use the gluten free pasta (not many restaurants have gluten free pasta to begin with) and that my salad will be separate than my family’s so that it excludes gluten containing ingredients. I was shocked at their amazing response! Loved this place, the food was amazing and the staff is great!"

"Super quaint place to visit. Nice atmosphere, great service. Went with a friend, but could also be very romantic if in the right relationship - point is it is for anyone and you feel welcome and at ease... not stuffy or pretentious. Beautiful view - better without the rain, but at the same time the rainy windows and streets added to it! Food was delicious - compared to Normal American plates, not a lot of food, but the amount was perfect to eat the whole meal and be very satisfied. The cosmopolitan drink was perfectly tasting and smooth. I would definitely go back!"
