Galleria boston mass

I will be back next time I am in Boston. Terrible Service. We had a 6 pm reservation and we told them we were attending the Celtics game later that night and 50 min late we still had no food. The staff was ignoring our table and did not offer any drink refills while we waited. After we tracked them down to ask where our food was, they informed us it would be 15 min longer because two large parties had come in.

If you can not handle a large party, do not take a large party. We ended up walking out and not receiving any food. Staff was rude and took no responsibility. Do not go here. Great food and great atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The dishes were tasty and rich and the ambience was classically Italian. Not huge crowds which to me was a nice change from the rest of the North End. We love La Galleria Their calamari and dipping sauce for the bread are amazing.

Food was very good and the staff was welcoming. We felt as if we were at their home, just as it should feel. They went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Gluten free staff member was amazing with extra carrots.

Thank you so much for the great evening. Great spot in the North End. Brought our son and daughter-in-law here for their last night in Boston. As usual, La Galleria 33 did not disappoint. And he entertains vendors weekly for the last 3 years. Will definitely return again. Food and service were great!

Would definitely come back! The food was carefully prepared and excellent. Nice atmosphere as well. Great menu for authentic cuisine. Service was friendly, attentive, but not pushy. Very comfortable atmosphere. Dessert was excellent as well.

We waited 1. The waitress never acknowledged our entrees taking an hour to arrive two appetizers and a pasta , but bought my husband a glass of wine while I was in the bathroom. Having managed restaurants in NYC for many years, I was shocked she would be so rude before I said a word about the miserable service. I understand being short staffed and overwhelmed and tables getting lost. She said she had no idea our order was lost, but open kitchens are very revealing, even if you've never worked in the industry.

I hope that if you read this you spend your money and time elsewhere. Making customers feel like a nuisance at 8pm on a Saturday night is not a way to do business. I wouldn't be writing a review if they were remotely professional or the food was amazing.

No one said sorry, no one cared. This place is a mess. This was a wonderful experience. The eggplant parm will change your life. What a meal! Excellent service and menu. Reminds us of North End eateries we visited before the neighborhood resurged after the Rose Kennedy Greenway was built. Setting feels intimate and open at the same time. We'll go back. Great spot in Boston's north end for delicious Italian food.

Rudest employees and slow service. Great food, great service! Will definitely recommend and probably return myself! Good food. Service was a little slow because they were very busy. Worth the wait! The service was crap and the food was mediocre and expensive. We shared the arancini and a bottle of wine and I had the eggplant parm. Everything was absolutely delicious! Not my first time here, but it's always excellent.

Selected your restaurant due to the Gordon Ramsay show but mostly wanted to meet the two owners who seemed so authentic and determined. The fact that they are still opened is a tribute to their desire to succeed. The staff and food were fantastic and do not regret our selection. Poor service, overpriced Italian food. We've had better food and service at Olive Garden.

If you're the boss and you have to clean up that person's mess constantly you'd flip too. I'm surprised to see how many of these places ended up closing. I guess in many cases it's the crushing debts. Second has to be the owners slipping back. I loved this episode and am glad to see this place is still open! Just watched part 1 of this here in the UK and it's the usual Gordon Ramsay formulaic stuff - entertaining in parts.

I couldn't help but wonder about the owners, though. Their folks already own an Italian Restaurant about yards away. According to Ramsay, the street they are on is absolutely rammed with Italian Restaurants and it's one of the most competitive streets in Boston.

So one day Rita says to Lisa "What shall we do? Lisa would have made a great mob wife but Rita reminded me more of Tony Soprano. Surprised to find they are still open. These two episodes have just been shown on More 4 in the UK. One of my favourite Kitchen Nightmares of all as helped along nicely by Lisa being total eye candy! Gordon performed a miracle with this restaurant and I am glad to see that it is still trading.

Hated to see the end of La Galleria. Always looked forward to dining there. Great service, nice people and I always ordered one of three items for dinner but the pasta fagioli was the best thing I looked forward to having. Lisa always took care of us as did the staff.

Big loss for Salem Street. It was pretty gross when Doug dropped the chicken on the floor and started to cook it anyway. It would be hard for anyone who ate here to watch that knowing he probably did it before Gordon came. Comments will be moderated prior to being published.

La Galleria 33 is an Italian family restaurant opened in by sisters Rita and Lisa. Rita smokes too much and Lisa drinks in front of the customers. They claim to have tried everything to try and increase business.

They tell him that the business is not working as they are losing money daily. Gordon orders food from server Sara, who has worked in the restaurant for 2 years. The Veal Paradiso is gnarly, bland, overcooked and salty inside. Their mother Lena brings the desert and Gordon is very impressed, branding it delicious. Lena says the recipe is hers and Gordon compliments her for that.

A crashing sound of breaking plates in the kitchen was heard in the restaurant. Gordon meets Doug and he says he has been a cook since He claims his work is usually hindered by Lisa and Rita, which they deny. Gordon was appalled by the lack of communication between the owners and the head chef.

Doug was not aware that they had run out of desserts a week ago. Gordon returns to observe how La Galleria operates during the evening service.

Gordon observes that there is no communication or organization in the kitchen. He is shocked when Doug drops chicken on the floor and then puts it back in the pan. After an argument with Gordon and much pressure from Rita, he later agrees to bin the chicken. While Doug continues to work in silence, food still manages to get out to the diners.

A customer sends back a burnt dish, which was supposed to be cooked medium-rare. Rita defends the food as she believes there is nothing wrong with it. La Galleria Part 2 Lisa comes back into the restaurant but goes straight up to the bar for a drink. She bursts into tears as the night was humiliating and overwhelming for her. The final orders are now leaving the kitchen but many of the customers leave unhappy. The next day, chef Ramsay calls a staff meeting.

Gordon tells the owners they must change too. Lisa agrees to stop drinking and Rita promises to give up the cigarettes. The staff also admit that they have been wrong and have had a lazy attitude to work. They promise to change as they want to be better and make the restaurant successful. He compares them to photographs from other local restaurants that look amazing. He introduces a new menu of classic Italian dishes including homemade meatballs.

She also loves how the food is served on small plates. With everyone committed to change, Chef Michael teaches Doug the new menu. Gordon reveals the new decor that has given the restaurant a modern romantic feel.

Gordon says some words of encouragement and bids them farewell. What Happened Next at La Galleria 33?
