Vinny Vanucchi's 'Little Italy' - Galena

My girlfriends and I had dinner here on a Saturday night. Very cute place! Overall, the food was a 6/10 and over-priced in my opinion. However, I’m giving this place 5 stars because of our waitress, Isabella. She was kind, fun and honestly, we all wanted to give her a hug at the end of the night. Isabella, if you see this, you’re the best! Never change!

First time trying this place. The place is overtly priced for the amount of food they served and how tasteless the food was. It seems they ran out of spices. I had the sausage and vegetable soup and that was good. My husband said the garlic bread was good too. The rest not worth it. Be Aware if you decide to split or share your food you will be charged an extra $9 per person. The waiters should mention that up front. Also didn't like the area that we got seated it was like a little basement and it was super dusty I started sneezing.

Our waiter was wonderful but our food was so incredibly bland. I was really shocked. I first ordered the chicken marsala and I had to send it back. I've only done that a few times in my life and I felt really bad but there was no flavor. Then I ordered a shrimp with broccoli in a red cream sauce. I could at least taste the shrimp and the broccoli but there were again, there was no depth to the dish at all. My husband orders the lasagna It was just so so. We ordered a bottle of Chianti Our check came right under $100. I ate the shrimp and the broccoli out of my dish! A little bit of the pasta. Very disappointing dining experience, except for our wonderful waiter.

My raves about this place so I was excited to try it. The atmosphere is amazing. Our waiter was rude. Did not refill drinks, did not bring more bread, threw the parmigiana packets on the table, after we asked for parmigiana . If the food had been good these things could have been overlooked. There was no flavor to the sauce on my stuffed shells. My mother’s manicotti was over cooked, did not have much filling, and was also bland. Others at the table had the same problems with their dishes as well. The food is also very pricey. I don’t mind pricey when I receive good food. I cannot recommend this place. The food was bland, over priced, and staff was rude. I’m giving it 1 star because of the atmosphere.

Friendly service and an interesting space. The food was pretty bland and absolutely needed more salt. The pasta was overcooked and everything our party had was really overpriced. That was NOT a $28 Seafood Bake... And a friend paid $16 for an Appletini. It's fine but you can do better.

Stay for the great garlic bread… leave for the rest. Took 25 minutes to get a drink… then came some of the worst food I’ve had in a LONG time. We tried putting a ton of salt all over the food to make it edible, and that didn’t work. All 4 meals were absolutely awful. They don’t even have FRESH Parmesan for the meals. They give you generic pizza Parmesan to shake on your food. 2 stars because the garlic bread is fantastic and unlimited. There are so many options in Galena… pick a better one.

A few stairs to the entrance off Main Street each step closer to the great smells of Italian food. VV has delightful authentic Italian dishes served in a quaint dining experience. The service was great, the food choice was plentiful and the price is on par for the dining experience. Evening times are often booked so do yourself a favor and call ahead. Worth the wait and the climb.

Italian restaurant with an unique atmosphere. Located in a rustic, red brick stone home typical for Galena. The menu offers a great selection of Italian appetizers , entrees and desserts. Will definitely go back again. They don't take reservations.

We had never been to this restaurant so we didn't know what to expect. The waitress was wonderful! She had good suggestions regarding food and wines. She was attentive to our party's needs. The dinners are excellent, the desserts are tasty and the atmosphere is pleasant. No overbearing or loud music and tables were nicely spaced. We would definitely dine there again.

Super cute, good food, good service. Prices seem a bit high but include salad and a delicious garlic bread....very reasonable when that is considered. Neat place....would like to visit again.
