Caliza Mediterranean Cuisine - Galena (IL)

5 /5 Devin Ganka: Everything was INCREDIBLE!!!! I cannot scream about this place enough! What a new gem on our Main Street. The chicken skewers were my favorite, but the croquettes, calamari, tiramisu and beef tenderloin pasta were all delicious. The location is somewhat hidden so don’t forget to look around and notice your surroundings. The service was also top notch, I really enjoyed how they gave the story behind why the restaurant is there. This made me appreciate the food more. As the owner of a food tourism business, I appreciate the legacy behind something. I will 100% be back and happy they are in Galena.

5 /5 Nicky: The restaurant is tucked away on the second floor, but once inside, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The ham croquette was creamy on the inside with a satisfying crisp on the outside, very delicious. The grilled salmon was generously portioned and paired nicely with ratatouille and fresh greens. All the dishes were excellent (though a bit on the salty side). Overall, it’s a great spot for elevated Mediterranean cuisine, and the service was excellent.

5 /5 Paula Rosario: The cutest cozy ambiance. Amazing service and of course the main star of the show, the food. Starting on drinks I enjoyed homemade ice tea, loved it. Appetizers came right after that with beef carpaccio and the Spanish croquetas!! Omg I will be eating a lot of those. And main course, the pasta dishes were perfectly balanced and tasted like made with love. Great addition to this town!

5 /5 Kortney Medley: Delicious food and wonderful experience! We enjoyed the Beef Tenderloin, Chicken Skewers, Fish of the day, and the most delicious Tuna Tartare. The fish was perfectly fresh with a sauce that was light and flavorful. One of the best meals we’ve all had in a LOOONG while. I hope they get the praise they deserve! 10/10 meal. Would recommend to anyone!
