Galliano’s Cucina

First let me start by saying I only gave you 4 instead of 5 because of the über long wait. As with what some other people have said on here.
Place wasn’t at full capacity by any means and it took us 45 minutes to get our pizza and kids Alfredo.
Service was «ok». Not sure if our server was new or what the case was. But she was «trying» so I can’t knock her.
Food gets ¹⁰⁄₁₀. I’m from Cali so we have pizza spots all over, and no I don’t mean commercial crap. Id choose this over the majority of Cali spots. Gonna make an attempt to go again before we depart.

Good taste but for a restaurant like this should have better ingredients, location isn’t very easy to get to. The manager isn’t very pleasant. Easier to get a good sandwich else where.

Waited over 20 minutes for house salad and soup of the day. And this is a restaurant where you go up to the counter and order and sit with a number in your table. How long does it take to bring me a cup of soup? There is only one soup!
I shouldn’t have tipped when I paid.
Had to go ask for it.
Salad was tiny but tasty. Tomato basil soup tasted like volka sauce. Wish I had some gluten free pasta to toss in it. Would be better as a sauce not a soup. Ice tea was good. Serve yourself with the chilled glass they hand you.

Always a fantastic meal. Great service. Love the inside. Nice little beer and wine list. The pizza is fantastic, cioppino is my favorite in Seattle. They use high quality veggies, meats and cheese. The sandwiches rock! (The Italian is my favorite). They have fresh herbs and well seasoned dishes. I Love all the salads on the menu. I take my out of town guests here. It’s a special place to my family.

This was my first visit and the. Cuban sandwich was recommended and it held to its reputation. Crazy delicious! definitely will be coming back. Only reason I gave a 4 is because they messed up our group order and it took a bit to get it cleared up. In the end food was good.

Went for lunch and my Ruben was good along with the waffle fries. The other meals I saw looked pretty good. You order at the counter and your meal is brought to your table. We got there at the beginning of lunch and glad we did. It was a little long to get our lunch but will come back again.

After doing business at my credit union on two occasions recently, I stopped by nearby Galliano’s for lunch.
Me likes Galliano’s Cucina.
It gets fairly busy around noontime, but there are open tables. Actually, at Galliano’s you order your meal, and if you are eating in, your food will be brought out (the soft drink bar is self-​serve). And in my case, both times, my food was delivered by a beautiful Latina gal that was also tasked with taking orders and bussing tables for the entire restaurant. Her effectiveness is impressive. And all done with a smile!
On my most recent visit, I ordered the daily soup — tomato basil. Oh boy, was it ever good! It had a delicious cheesy buttery slightly nutmeg flavor.
Both times, I ordered the chicken scaloppine. In addition to the chicken and spaghetti-​like pasta, the scaloppine comes with a lemon butter cream sauce, prosciutto, artichoke hearts, capers and mushrooms. On the side came a slice of an excellent garlic cheese bread. The first time I was here, I thought the scaloppine was a tad salty, but most recently, it was flawless.
I plan on returning, and would recommend if you are in the Tukwila/​Southcenter area, and are craving Italian, come here for a quick and good lunch (alas, they close at 3:00pm daily).

The best thing to order here are the sandwiches and is pretty much the local norm for why people keep coming back here every day. From the turkey bacon avocado, to the sausage and rapini, to the crispy shrimp pacemaker it’ll make you wonder why subway and quiznos even bother. The waffle fries are always worth it, but even their salad’s have enough cheese and dressing on them that it’s easy to convince oneself that the fries aren’t that much more unhealthy. I’ve had the pasta and pizza and while not bad they really don’t stand out enough to make me order them over the sandwiches.
I work close by this restaurant and it seems to mainly serve the work crowd. The service here is usually friendly, but a bit short staffed so they can be slow when it’s busy.

Great place. Had the mushroom ravioli and it was delicious. Our waitress was friendly, fast, and efficient. Very accommodating. Highly recommend!

I’ve been waiting 45 mins for a sandwich to go. she said 5 – 10 mins and it’s really not that busy in here. Not impressed.

So far everything I’ve tried here is packed with flavor. I usually call and pick up during lunch hour. I honestly can’t get over the fact that they are pretty cheap for what you’re getting. The main item for me is the Cuban sandwich. It’s not italian but it’s just too good.

The food was tasty, but the power went out. The staff said nothing about the status of our order. After 20 minutes we went up to get a refund and were told our paninis were done but they were waiting for power to do fries. We asked for a refund. They offered to bring out our sandwiches and the fries would only take 3 – 4 minutes. After waiting another 6 minutes, they brought out our order.
The food was good, but the service wasn’t. The staff should have communicated with options, refunds or discounts for a future meal. The power was still out when we left.

Wow, I’m really wavering between two and three stars. But, it’s Valentine’s Day and I’m feeling the love, so I’m going to go with three.
Husband and I stopped in for dinner tonight. We had driven past Galliano’s a few weeks back and I immediately bookmarked it on Unilocal.I love Italian food and was excited to see a new (well, to me, anyhow) place in an area we seem to find ourselves in reasonably often. So, finding ourselves there again tonight, we decided to try Galliano’s for dinner.
Although it was Valentine’s Day and we did not have a reservation, we were able to be seated right away. I would love to say it was in a comfy booth, but, really, it was not. A small table for two was immediately perpendicular to the booth where we were seated. Seriously, it felt like the people at this table were dining with us. I was able to mostly ignore this as the table was behind me. But, the back of my head was pretty much right in the faces of the two people seated there. If I had been at that table, I would have been very uncomfortable and would have asked to be reseated. And, if that request were refused, I would have left.
House wine was very poor. Really, it is not that hard to find something that is inexpensive, quaffable, and decent. So, why serve something that is so flavorless and tastes like it’s been watered down?
The starter salad was a nice surprise: It had an «antipasto» air about it with roasted red peppers, garbanzos, bites of fresh mozzarella, and (real!) olives.
I had the Chicken Parmesan. The chicken itself was tasty, if not the most generous serving I’ve ever seen. I was excited that the accompanying pasta was served with a pink sauce, which I generally very much enjoy; but the sauce was very bland. We were given a choice of garlic or cheesy bread. Not wanting something heavy or fatty, I went with the garlic bread. But, it was still fatty and heavy. I ate only a single bite. An option of just straight up bread would have been nice.
Service was friendly and attentive throughout.
In short, I’m not sorry we gave Galliano’s a try. But, I left mostly unimpressed and would be unlikely to stop in again.

The only good thing I can say about the calamari is it wasn’t overcooked and rubbery. The marinara served with the calamari was very watery and the aioli very thick. To me it didn’t seem like fresh calamari, it seemed like frozen, pre-​breaded.
Chicken parm. was good, but I found 2 nearly whole bay leaves in my sauce, one I ended up biting into. My wife had the chicken scaloppine and she took a bit of pasta and what she thought was a piece of artichoke, but it turned out to be a small lemon wedge. My wife also had a latte which was also not very good.

This is restaurant that I have been eating at for years. We use to come once a week and I would have the Classic Italian sandwich but they unfortunately changed it and I do not care for the new version.
The restaurant is comfortable with Parachutes coming down from the ceilings as decorations and somewhat camouflaged bathrooms. The service is usually friendly and efficient. It is a nice place to sit and enjoy lunch.
While it is typical deli — order at the counter and they deliver — they also refill your drinks as a courtesy.
Our grand kids have always enjoyed their spaghetti and meat balls and I have tried their Strawberry Chicken a number of years ago. Not sure if they still carry that but it was good.

Got the Bianca pizza. The crust was thin and light. Liked the white sauce. But unfortunately the artichokes were not properly trimmed. It was covered in the fuzzy choke (the part you’re supposed to throw out) and no actual artichoke hearts. I ended up throwing most of it out.

Came here for a friend’s birthday party. We don’t visit anywhere south of Seattle so it was essentially throwing a dart in the dark. I came across this place and was pleasantly surprised.
The food selection was decent. A little limiting, but what do you expect from a small mom and pop? I’m sure they were trying to cut down on overhead. Who can blame them?
The food was tasty. A little on the salty side, which is saying a lot coming from me because I like fries with my salt. Some of it tasted fresh and homemade. Some did not. I ordered the baked manicotti. It looked like it was made fresh to order. A friend ordered their linguine. Looked like the sauce came from a can.
Guess you really have to be careful about what you’re ordering. Very tasty for sure. Not sure if it is well worth the price they charge, which isn’t much compared to Seattle.
I would recommend trying this place with an open mind. You might be pleasantly surprised. Keep in mind… You’re in Tukwila. This place is tucked away in the center of a business district. Not the good foundation for the best quality Italian food.

My coworker and I came here for birthday lunch. We picked this place because 1) it’s close to work and 2) it’s kind in between our location and Renton.
It feels like fast food restaurant because we came in and ordered and got seated ourselves. However, it’s pretty slow due to short of staff in the kitchen. I had calamari and eggplant lasagna. I am really not a big fan of their calamari. It felt like it’s straight from a frozen bag. However, I did like my eggplant lasagna. I think it was good. As far as the service goes, I thought I was very good. There were a lot of serving staff who walked around and paid attention to the customers. We were asked whether we were doing well or not as least 5 times in one hour. They were good with filling up water as well.
I’d like to go back and try more items and hopefully the kitchen staff will not be short.

Out with some business colleagues for lunch the other day, this is a regular haunt of said colleagues, close to their office. Galliano’s in the «fast casual’ category with table service, counter ordering.
They offer a fairly full-​line Italian style menu, with sandwiches, pizza, salads, pasta and selected entrees.
A large menu board, replete with misspellings („avacado“, „muscles“) is behind the counter, place your order, pay, and in short order, your food will be brought to your table.
Our party of five managed to sample a broad selection of the foods, two of us had meatball sandwiches, one a pizza, another the chopped salad.
All of the food was aesthetically and palate pleasing. I was one of the meatball sammie guys, something I would ordinarily never order (for no particular reason), and it was delicious. Wedges of flavorful meatballs, red sauce, cheese, on a very high quality roll. The meatballs were (I am guessing) a blend of veal and pork, with Italian herbs, slight fennel. Side choices were soup, salad, or waffle fries (not sure I have ever had the latter in Italy, but probably a normal add-​on for American tastes.)
The colleague immediately to my left went with the small (11») Supreme pizza, and I was drooling over (but not offered any) the obviously hand-​pulled Italian sausage, and thin crusts.
Verdict? I liked it. I’m in the area on occasion, and will hog a large pizza for myself next time I am in Tukwila. They have a 2^nd location near Sea-​Tac, as well.

I love how vibe is so relaxing and chill here! It isn’t arranged like a normal restaurant. It has a counter that sort of resembles a coffee shop, I’m assuming because a lot of people order out.
Anyway, I arrived a little earlier than my party and was seated immediately, asked what I wanted to drink, and offered bread while I waited.
After everyone arrived, we did take a while to order, but they were SO nice after they kept asking us and we keep being indecisive. While we did talk and figure out what we wanted, we had SO many loaves of bread as they were so addicting with their butter. Their butter had this garlic, italian herb taste to it that kept us wanting more! Their bread was freshly toasted – perfectly! A little toasted on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. It was NOT dry and we seriously had like 4 loaves to 4 people… it could have been more though :)
Most of us ordered the same thing because it sounded bomb! We ordered the chicken scalloppine which was to die for. So creamy, and I LOVE angel hair pasta! It had artichoke hearts and capers. Not to mention, their cheesy bread they give you, is another to die for! It is so creamy and cheesy. the BEST cheesy bread i’ve ever had in my life! Mmm. Overall, the scalloppine was seriously good. Fresh, creamy, and the chicken was 2 cuts of thigh or breast (I can’t remember which one) but it was tender. WE ate so much bread, that none of us finished our food. I ate like half of the dish.
I sister ordered the red sauce chicken parmiagiano I believe. Hers was delicious too. Perfectly cooked chicken, again, so tender and soft with so many flavors. The cheese for the crust was delicious.
Not to mention, they offer you soup of the day or salad for the starters… and their caesar salad is so damn good. Mmm. Best caesar salad b/​c it had a GREAT dressing, perfect lettuce leaves, and their croutons were hella bomb. I think they were homemade.
My brother ordered some pizza, and he ate all of it except for 2 slices… so I’m assuming it was delicious too. It did look great indeed.
We had EXCELLENT service. Our server was GREAT and very sweeet. She was very nice, mingled with us and was amazing at her job. We also got Andes mints upon leaving.
Overall, ⁵⁄₅ on everything. No bad service and food was great. I knew this place was bomb!
