I haven't been here in years and thought I wanted quality seafood and service ,but needless to say I was wrong!
The food was terrible seared scallops and risotto as well as the salmon was horrible we had to force ourselves to eat this mess!
And the atmosphere wasn't that great either I will never ever waste my money here again
Unfortunately, our experience was less than what we expected. It's been a while since we came here to eat. I ordered the scallop and risotto entree and I was given a plate full of rice and overcooked Scallops. It would have been nice of they let us know that they were replacing the risotto with rice for whatever reason. Then I could have ordered something else. We also ordered a burger and fries to go, that came out beautifully.

We have been taking my mother in law to Gallo's for several years for her birthday. Unfortunately this will be the last time. The service and atmosphere has declined and the food was mediocre at best. When people that have ordered the same dish every time they come say that they have had better, that is a clue that the owners and managers no longer care about quality.
In addition to that, the service was horrible. Three of us ordered soup that was served without crackers. We asked for them but never received them. The waitress also could not explain what the special of the was and our appetizerscame out cold. She also had to be tracked down to ask for the check.
When leaving there where at least four employees sitting on the bench at the front door. This just screams lack of training and professionalism.
The standard that was kept prior to the pandemic are no longer in place food or service wise.

Family and I dined here yesterday evening and would return and recommend. Was well attended with many diners. Staff was friendly and food was good. Plenty of parking. Dishes were good sized portions, and we made it to dessert (regular cheesecake is homemade and good, also tried the vanilla ice cream over brownie).

Dinner was delicious. I had the salmon and asparagus as well as some waffle fries, very cultured I know. This being said, the asparagus was not completely finished and I ended up leaving the last inch on the plate as quite frankly my teeth could not make it through that. I have had asparagus like this before however it's never been to my taste to leave food on the plate. All in all a fantastic experience. Absolutely aces on the dining staff.

I was disappointed in Gallo's Seafood! No masks required which I didn't have a problem with that. The seating was available quickly. The waitress was running herself thin. When she came to the table she was pleasant at all. We ordered our drinks, the bread was cold and the butter hard. I asked the waitress if she could heat it us and put it in the microwave, which I got some pushback as I was taking the butter out of the tinfoil and placing it on a saucer. The appetizers and main meals were ok but nothing to brag about. The lemonade was dish water and when asked what products were available and annoying sigh came out before the list of sodas, the Ceasar salad was soggy, the seafood was cooked very hard and the price was outrageous. For two people to eat $90.72. Will I return, sure it might have been a bad day and they were under staffed. The bar was jumping and pumping. Here's a few pictures. Enjoy!

I haven't been here in many years and it still is a great option for dining in Philadelphia! The restaurant was clean as well was the bathroom. The waitress was busy (a good thing), friendly and attentive. Our drinks were never empty, nor were our bellys. Each of our meals were delicious; Grilled Fish Tacos, Cheeseburgers, Crab Cake Platter and Cod. We ended the meals with some fabulous rice pudding!

The service of the host and waitress really saved this place from getting 2 stars from me. Over the years my family and I have gone to Gallo's at least once a year to celebrate Mother's Day and different birthdays. While the quality of the food has gone down, the service and friendliness of the hostess and the waitress, who was also the bartender that day, really made up for any flaws. My family and I had just left a memorial service for our beloved cousin and decided to go to Gallo's. I will say management was not accommodating to our party, but, the hostess and the waitress both were excellent and took very good care of us.

We had a wonderful time here at Gallos. Our hostess n server Kelsey was very personable patient professional and efficient. The drinks are reasonably priced and the food absolutely delicious. This was a memorial luncheon so the 2 choices were crab cakes which were the best I ever had (67) I am, all meat with just enough filling to hold it together to cook. Chicken parm very good too I was informed by others. This is know going to be my Seafood spot til the end of time.....

Ordered the seafood dinner platter "broiled" and a seafood salad. The restaurant seemed steady, not too busy, but again the service seemed lacking. The broiled seafood platter was served slightly warm and cold...Once we able to find our server, we asked her why it was cold. She immediately took it back to the kitchen and returned 8 minutes later with a now hot platter ... did they microwave it?
I won't return ... the food prices here were more than just market value and service gets a one star from me
