Best Italian Restaurants in Riverbank

We live up past Sacramento but were in Modesto again for an event. We have been here twice before and returned again this evening. We return because the food is delicious, it is reasonably priced, and the staff is very friendly and efficient. Tonight was no different. My wife had the chicken marsala and I had the calamari steak. Both were new items for us as we wanted to try something different than our previous visits. Once again we found both well prepared and delicious. We have yet to find a favorite entree, as everything we have tasted has been great. We would highly recommend giving them a try and we will certainly be back when we visit Modesto again. Thanks Oscar for the great service!

Amazing food, and great service. Love to go here.

Galletto Restaurant is THEE restaurant in Modesto, CA. I take my family, special guests, and friends to Galletto Restaurant because I love great food and excellent service. When my granddaughters visit from Idaho, they always ask to have dinner at Galletto Restaurant. Last night’s dinner was delicious as usual, and the service was Top Notch!

The service is always friendly and attentive, and they clearly care about making a connection with their guests. There are always friendly faces all around and the atmosphere in the main dining room is fantastic for a date night or gathering with friends.

We ate at Bruno’s for my husband’s birthday with his family. We were driving in from out of town, but Bruno’s is a favorite from when my honey lived in the area. We’d made a reservation in advance because we needed a wheelchair accessible table. I contacted them also, and was assured there would be no problem accommodating us. We have a celiac family member with us. Our waiter, (I think it may have been Brandon?) was so knowledgeable and helped our niece be able to order safely, and actually enjoy the whole experience. She never knows if she’ll have to stick to a salad, and eat later in a restaurant, or fully participate, we were all so pleased. Our waiter was a huge contributor to our very positive overall experience. I had the short ribs, and they were amazing! 10 out of 10, highly recommend! My husband had the chicken Marsala, it was so rich and delicious! We don’t partake, but some of our party were very pleased with the wine list. We enjoyed our evening so much, thank you, service staff, kitchen workers, and management!
