“ I love this place! But then, who doesn't love restaurants that serve delicious food, at reasonable prices, in a clean, quaint setting, with friendly service? My wife and I have been here many times and have never left disappointed. I highly recommend starting out with the Bruschetta. It is very good. Some of our favorite entrees include: Ravioli Rosa, Chicken Parmigiana (the breading on the chicken is wonderful), Lasagna, and Shrimp alla Diavolo. The soup of the day is always homemade and delicious! They also have great pizza! This is one of the best Italian Restaurants in Lake County. But don't take my word for it...go see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ We had a group of 6 people and had the appetizer mix, the BLT, buffalo chicken salad, spaghetti with meatballs, a burger and a bacon cheeseburger pizza between us all. Everything was great and the service was just as good. Very attentive, constant refills, and the server was on top of everything. ”
“ Wonderful place for some great Italian food! The pasta here was amazing a cooked very well! The sauce on the Vodka pasta was simply amazing and something that I will be ordering in the further again. I would highly recommend it for your first meal here. The portions are great and you’ll be bringing some home! A really good bang for your buck! If you’re thinking about coming here you should try it out. I will be coming back here in the future! ”
“ This is our favorite restaurant. The food is made thoughtfully and with love. Authentic Italian fare with a homey feel. We love it. Highly recommend! ”
“ I had planned a large food order months in advance, leading up to a birthday celebration I had next door at Harbor Brewing yesterday. The staff at Galati’s was prompt, communicative, and consistently adapted to my order as the needs changed when my headcount shifted and menu adjusted as the date approached. We ended up ordering several different pizzas such as the Supreme, BLT, and a couple gluten-free options to name a few. The staff even walked it over allowing us to remain in party mode. The food was outstanding! So fresh and flavorful. The gluten-free was too!! Thank you Galati’s! My husband and I will be back to dine in at your restaurant soon! ”
“ We ordered food as carry out for my Birthday. Daisy was so kind, sweet and the food was Fantastic!! I would highly recommend and can't wait to try their pizza. Truly a great find for us and will be back again, soon. Go see them in downtown Lake Villa. Thank you. ”
“ I was in Lake Villa visiting my childhood home and found this place. Wow. What a find. The stuff crust pizza, is completely stuffed. The pasta (Rosa Ravioli) is amazing. It costs about 16 per person but you will be leaving with a lot of leftovers to take home too. The service was awesome. My family had a bit of a complicated order and the server remembered it all without even taking notes or having to ask what we ordered again. If you are looking for a down to earth comfortable place to enjoy a meal, this is the place for you, and it will crush your hunger. ”
“ Loved your pizza when I lived there in 2006... glad you're still going strong. Best pizza ever. ”
