Galioto's Twelve21

We haven't been here in years but came back on a whim for our anniversary. Food was perfect, our waiter was the perfect amount of attentiveness without being annoying and the ambiance was spot on. Highly recommend and we'll be back sooner this time.

My boyfriend and I went here for a special meal. However, we weren't very happy with our overall experience. Our server, Jane, was not as attentive to us as her other tables. We didn't feel ignored, but we definitely weren't a priority. We'd never been there before, and we let our server know that because we had questions about the menu. The food was very hit or miss. My boyfriend got the Reuben rolls for his appetizer, and I got the baked brie platter. They were both amazing! We had a bottle of our favorite wine as well, so we were happy about that. My boyfriend loved the French onion soup, but I didn't. It was oddly sweet to me, so I gave mine to my boyfriend. Jane did offer me something else instead of the soup, but I declined because I knew my boyfriend was going to happily eat it. The fresh bread with butter and oil was awesome. However, when the entrees came, we were not happy. My boyfriend got the breaded Sicilian steak, and I got the Veal Parmesan. Both of them were soggy, even the bits that weren't under sauce. We let Jane know that we weren't happy with our meal, and she was kind of like, "oh well, that's how it's cooked," with no offer to fix it or discount anything. So, we didn't tip, because we didn't feel that we were given service that deserved one. We left feeling dissatisfied, and as we left, Jane opened the front door and watched us leave, which was super creepy. Sorry if you're mad about your lack of tip, but we matched it to the effort given. Do better.

I had the fish fry it was okay a bit greasy. The bartender was very friendly drinks were a good pour and fairly reasonable. I thought they menu was fairly limited in selection for an Italian restaurant Will definitely go back to try something Italian

The menu is good the seating is comfortable. Food was good but they didn’t make the salad I asked for and the kitchen staff came back with a lazy fix. The food was good temperature and mostly tasty. Very cozy little place but there are so many places with just a bit better quality food and service in the area. 10/10 would go back for the squash ravioli tho!!

Everything was sugary, the pasta, French onion soup, marinara. The only thing I truly enjoyed were the Rueben rolls. Also maybe it’s just me, but what is the point of bread crumbing if it’s just going be a soggy undercooked mess. The bread was amazing just took a long time to get to table. Bottom line not worth returning, too sweet no complexity, poorly cooked meats. I end my review “Was that chicken or veal.”

Nice Saturday night visit. Place was a blast from the past, no on line reservation system, call and leave a message and they use pencil and paper. They were a little busy and our server seemed busy so the meal moved slow which was fine we were in no rush. We both ordered the Filet and it tasted good but it was weird, it looked like it had been cooked and then seared, the color was very even all the way through, it was a lot like slow cooked prime rib. The meals are a complete package, soup or salad, bread, veg and potato. and its a lot to eat, most people had left overs in to go clam shells. The side salad was good but its what you would have gotten at a supper club 30 years ago less the iceberg lettuce. The prices were extremely reasonable, dinner for 2 was $133, including 2 beers, 1 glass of wine, one after dinner drink and an up grade to French onion soup. We had an expired gift certificate which they graciously accepted.

First time visit. Just loved the experience. Great people and great food. Our server, Jane, was the consumate pro. She was flawless in helping my 93 yr old Mom navigate the menu. She also gracefully stepped past my faux pas of calling the Ditka chop a Butkus chop. Jane brought me what I wanted, not what I stated. Besides the pork chop (best 1 pounder I ever had!!), we also had the Sicilian steak, and shrimp scampi as main courses. All 3 get 5 stars.

Wonderful food choices and outstanding waitress.
