Native San Franciscan and live in San Francisco ( 2 1/2 drive well worth it)have lived in San Francisco, my entire life and I am very fortunate that my job,:and my work-related duties required me to dine at every 4 and 5 star restaurants in San Francisco for the last 25 years daily, so I'm pretty tainted and jaded because I still get the red carpet treatment. But I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised by the service, and the food, and the ambiance at Gallettos. Especially the way the manager Cal treated my guest and we're due to be back there on her birthday. Thank you Cal. See you this weekend

Mediocre food. Beautiful ambience and attentive service. This restaurant could be spectacular but the kitchen execution is sub par. Bland fish, bison ribeye was poorly prepared and tough. Overall seasoning was just a miss. Our server was wonderful and attentive. Atmosphere was romantic- appropriate lighting and quiet to allow conversation.

Came in on a Tuesday night with a date and ordered their salmon dish. She ordered their ribeye. The salmon came out and after one bite of me eating it, I cut it open to see that it was clearly raw. When I asked to send it back the server argued that it was “sushi grade” and said it was fine to eat. I still insisted I wanted a new one that was cooked fully. On top of date my date ordered a medium rare ribeye and when she first cut in it, it was almost a well done. Luckily they were more willing to remake her meal. Besides the food, the service was alright and the atmosphere was okay. Will probably not come by again but who knows
