Galati’s Italian Pizza & Pasta

Nice place, nice people… good value for the money.

Adorable Italian restaurant. You’ll find Sal there The majority of the time at least three out of the four times I’ve been there. He told us some pretty interesting story is from the old country. Funny guy. First night we went I had the trio and would say I’m not much for red sauce but the lasagna was delicious. Every other time I’ve been there I have gotten their pizza which has always been an light crackery crust with a perfect amount of sauce and a real cheese. Only taken 1 star away for the Alfredo sauce which was bland for my taste but I don’t get pizza anywhere else in this town.

Would have given a 2.5, but decided to round down. Galati’s looks decent on the inside, a little dirty but well decorated with a nice atmosphere. Just about as good as you can expect in a town like Perryville.
I ordered some bruschetta, which while decent wasn’t the best I’ve had by a long shot. Bread wasn’t crispy and the tomato’s weren’t very ripe or tasty, though I’ll give a pass on this because I ate here in March.
I also got a 12″ hand-​tossed pizza, ordered with anchovies and Provel cheese. I was quite excited to see Provel on the menu, as it is so excellent on the pizza made by the local favorite pizza chain Imo’s. I was very disappointing with the pizza when it arrived. It was slightly underdone. Instead of a whole pie covered in succulent, divine Provel the thing was mostly fashioned with mozzarella with a tiny sprinkling of melted Provel on top. LAME. Not cool at all Galati’s. The pizza also had about a half dozen tiny anchovie pieces spread far and wide that tasted very fishy and off, like a cheap low quality brand would.
The service consisted of one poor overworked gal who had to rush about table to table. She seemed quite stressed out and I felt sorry for her. She did not offer to get me another beer even though I saw her look at my empty bottle and glass several times. Galati’s needs to hire an extra hand or two.
All in all, Galati’s probably serves the best pizza in Perryville which isn’t saying much. Head up I55 to St. Louis if you want something truly good. Not a terrible restaurant, they just need to work on their service and food.

Had the pasta trio and Roma pizza. The trio was OK but the pizza was AMAZING. Stick with the pizza!

Best Italian in town. The pizza is yummy also.
