I was really impressed and the wine suggested was Top Shelf .. As for the value .. Extremely fair !! I’ll be back Did I mention the Zuppa and Calamari .. Oh Yeah
Excellent Italian food for this far south. Classic fare with an owner that still walks around and asks you how things were. Want to know how to run a successful restaurant, ask a New Yorker. Wonderful.
Another fantastic trip to Villa Gallace! The food such as their veal/chicken parm are great classics. Yummy bread and delicious wines as well. Great service and location, being across from the beach. Recommend to tourists and locals alike. Will be back!
We chose Villa Gallace for our last dinner while on vacation in Indian Rocks Beach. Finding gluten-free options at an Italian restaurant isn't always easy. But they were able to accommodate many dishes with gluten-free pasta. They even had a dessert - the cappuccino mousse pie, which was absolutely amazing. (Our family does not have Celiac's, it is more of a skin irritation with gluten.) Our waitress was very sweet and patient with our family of 5.
One of the very few authentic Italian establishment in Indian Rocks Beach. Highly motivated professional staff. Charismatic & old school owner “Luigi” visits each table to make sure your group dinner is experiencing the perfect evening. Different chef’s specialty dishes nightly. Excellent variety of wine options. Support our local businesses. Kitchen closes 10pm most nights. Simply call to make a reservation. Walk in traffic welcome. Big shout out to ‘Mike’ our wonderful server, for his politeness and attention to detail service. PS: Ask Luigi about his handmade home brew after dinner cocktails. Only polite generous happy customers are invited to experience his world renowned specialty drinks.
Came here on a recommendation yesterday. Food was exceptional and the staff was as well. Definitely call for a reservation just in case—since we might not have gotten in. We were very lucky to experience this food.
We live locally here in IRB. Two of our 3 sons also live here in Florida. Our 3rd son lives in Denver & doesn't get to visit too often but his favorite restaurant of all locally is here at Villa Gallace. We love the atmosphere, the amazing service (Michael is so awesome!) & the incredibly delicious dishes prepared by this restaurant. An absolute favorite of our family! Thank you to owner Luigi welcoming us upon arrival & also checking in with guests while dining. Impeccable service & overall amazing dining experience! We love every moment spent here...great memories each time with family & guests. We can't wait to return! The Bonifacio Family-IRB
My family and I visited for the first time. Excellent food and service. Luigi and our waiter were very friendly and welcoming. The tiramisu and cannoli are made in-house and by far, the best I ever had! I had the baked ziti and it was very good, as well as their house salad with their special dressing. Everything was delish!
