Galito Restaurant

LOVED the food here. My boyfriend loves his Portuguese steak and I always love a good seafood paella! They also accommodated my milk allergy and were so kind! Great experience!

I had a nice time here. They give you free bread when you sit which is nice and warm and fluffy. We got the Sopa a Portuguesa which was good. The Galito Trio appetizer which was just okay; 3 of everything, 3 wings, 3 pasteis de bacalhau and 3 pieces of fried chouriço. The Bifana Sandwich which was nice. Plain but still good. Fries were really good. I asked for sauce on the side which they gave me a ton of and it was excellent. Alcatra was great. Very fun. It comes in like the handmade clay pot. He joked it looks like what a medieval man would eat. Lol. It was really good, maybe a tiny bit too salty but great when mixed with the plain potatoes and rice on the side. They still have the cafe open at night and it’s so reasonably priced. Cheapest espresso in the state. Lol. We shared a Galão (latté) for dessert. Service was a little slow and I would probably get something else the next time I come but it was still all good. The highlight being the molho and the Sumol in the glass container. I heard they have excellent espresso martinis from someone else but I did not get one myself.

On my way back from Foxboro a Google search lead me here. I'm from Fall River where Portuguese is everywhere. Now living in Warwick it's a hard thing to find. The Portuguese nachos were good, the pork alentejana my fiancee got was good, and the pasta mariso that I got was good. Really good sauce. The bread was soft and fresh. Our server confused the cacoila pizza to a cacoila sandwich. I will definitely be back with my fiancee.

We came here for a nice early dinner, we were seated immediately. I had the Bacalhau A Portuguesa codfish, with boiled eggs, potatoes, peppers. He had the Octopus stewed what we really liked was that the food was freshly served the flavor was delicious. Then we had cappuccinos with one of their delicious dessert called (Sawdust) highly recommended if you have a sweet tooth and as an appetizer we had the portuguese nachos which its actually potatoes but really good.😊

We ordered a carne asada platter for our New Year’s party. It didn’t meet our expectations, not even close. Upon inspection we were not even sure what it was or what cut of meet. It was brown squares covered in a brown sauce with different colored and textured potatoes along with 4-5 overdone thin red peppers that was supposed to accent the dish. Upon presenting the dish to the owner and dissatisfaction, she raised her voice to me and basically said “you paid you eat it”! She was completely, rude, unprofessional, and had complete disregard for the customer! Do not eat there. The food, ownership, and respect for the customer is non existent.

On Mother’s Day we had a reservation for 7 people at 3pm. When we arrived the waitress told us that the table we were supposed to be seated at just ordered dessert so we had to wait outside. 45 mins later after multiple large parties went inside before us, I went into ask about our table and was told that they had paid already but still hadn’t left. Finally, we were called in at 4pm… no bread or drinks until 4:25… food was brought out around 4:50. We asked for straws and the server brought out a handful of unwrapped straws in his bare hand … and we were not given menus right away because “another table still had them”. Mind you they were printed on bright green paper and they hadn’t printed enough. Very unprofessional and unprepared. In my opinion the manager or owner should have come to us to apologize personally and offer the mothers in our group a free drink or dessert. The menu prices were jacked up for the holiday and the bar mixes for drinks had Marshalls price tags on them still .. looked awful. Anyway, now I have heard that this location is closing down and I can see why the owner didn’t care about providing a good experience. Very shameless and selfish if you ask me….

UPDATE: 9/14/2021 they don't have little necks and oysters anymore. We went for the 1.5$ oysters and little necks. I was very pleased with the size of them! I've been to another restaurant in Providence where they do 1$ oysters and they were so skinny but these were fat! We also got their Watermelon margaritas, a Caparina, and Watermelon lemonade and they were all delicious. Service was a little on the slower side but staff was very pleasant.

ordered takeout, two junior steaks. The steak was dry and the french fries tasted like grease. It was very little juice with the dish and my overcooked eggs were larger than the steak itself will never go back. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone..
