Vinny Vanucchis - Galena (IL)

5 /5 Nicolettes Hobbies: Visiting with my sister, she recommended this lovely restaurant. I was blown away, service and food was magnificent and tasty. Other customers were speaking French and German (possibly) but an experience (a special memory) with my sister. The music and decor, did not disappoint it was fantastic. I love history, and enjoyed the entire area we were seated. A must if you come to visit the area.

3 /5 Mylissa Ann: Its beautiful outside and in. Its a maze inside with themed rooms. Our server was nice and friendly as well as the lady that brought us our salad/ bread. Both dishes are so yummy. My husband got a seafood dish that he really liked but said there was a lot of oil in the dish. I got the chicken Alfredo. The chicken has zero flavor and doesnt even look appetizing. Everything is very over priced for what you get. Noodles are very good. Also theres a fee for using your credit card.

3 /5 Anna Humeston: I have been going here off and on for years. It has noticeable gone downhill. The ambiance was spot on, service was great. The appetizer, bruschetta, was really good. Meal comes with salad it was good, the garlic bread was way too garlicy and dripped with oil. My basic spaghetti and meatballs were not good. The pasta was chewy and dry, kind if tasted of cardboard. If we go back again well just get the appetizer not a very overpriced meal.

4 /5 NagaSai Chowdary: We had a wonderful time at this Italian restaurant! The atmosphere is warm and inviting — cozy lighting, beautiful décor, and a very welcoming vibe. We ordered a cheesy pasta, and it was absolutely delicious — creamy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It’s a lovely spot to relax, enjoy great food, and spend time with friends or family. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Italian comfort food!

5 /5 Kristina Candlish: I came here about 15 years ago, and this place is STILL amazing as it was then. We literally planned a trip to Galena, just to come here, which about a 3 hour drive. The food was FABULOUS and authentic Italian. The only way to be more authentic is actually being in Italy. Our server Meghan was fast, friendly and helpful. The portions are HUGE, so come hungry or plan on to go boxes. I love the themed rooms in the front of the restaurant and the traditional seating through out the rest of the restaurant. You WONT be disappointed eating here. You can even buy their house raspberry vinegarette to take home!
