As food critic I’ve been asked to visit the restaurant LA GALLERIA . My reviews are impartial regardless who pays for my bill.
RESTAURANT
The ambience of the restaurant is really nice. The table dressing is smart and you can eat in the outdoor garden on the sunny days.
FOOD
Good selection of sicilian recipes. We tried as starter “la crudità” (raw fish mix) and meat carpaccio. And as mains we had two different pastas:
Scialatielli with prawns
Spaghetti with tuna
Both pastas were really good (better than average) and worth the visit.
The starters were good (but not really worth to be mentioned)
WINE
Champagne taittinger was priced at 7euros per glass during our visit. This price is the cheapest that I’ve seen around the world for champagne. (Taittinger NV is an entry level brand however worth definitely more than 7euros per glass in a restaurant)
We tried two different white wines served a little bit too cold. These wines weren’t nothing special. (grillo and zibibbo dry)
SERVICE
Slow and simple. Improving the service of this restaurant will increase a lot it’s value.
PRICE & FINAL OPINION
We paid for our dinner around 70 euros. It isn’t a bargain however in Italy it’s expensive to eat out, especially in tourist locations.
La galleria Restaurant is a better than an average restaurant and I can recommend to eat here (especially the pasta, skip the starters). Please note that Cefalù doesn’t offer top quality restaurants.
