    The restaurant was very nice, it was also cool to be able to get a table for Valentine's Day with a 2-week notice. The food was very good, and it was a nice touch that one of the managers let us know there was a slight issue with one of the plates, but that it would be coming shortly. Our waitress came right after that and gave us a dessert on the house! Have been to Cap City Dublin twice already, and I'm looking forward to going back again.

    First time there for Valentine’s Day. Really enjoyed our meal. Excellent food and service despite the fact that it was very busy because it was Valentine’s Day. Gallo‘s kitchen and bar serves high-quality food in a casual atmosphere. Staff is extremely friendly. It has an unusual mixture of continental Italian and New Orleans food. We had the gumbo for a starter, which was excellent as was the rest of the meal, steak for myself and lamb chops for my wife. Excellent experience. Highly recommended we intend to go back.
