The toast of the Texas coast.How can frozen fish be called fresh? The answer for anyone with snap is simple: it can’t. That’s why Gaido’s is the classic choice for fresh Gulf seafood. Patrons know Gaido’s is real, when others are clearly not. From red snapper and blue crab to white tablecloths crumbed with panache, there’s no denying Gaido’s is one-of-a-kind in a world of imitation. Now, after four generations of filleting, frying, grilling and baking, Gaido’s has grown into the picture perfect place of traditions– birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, reunions. As the largest fresh fish house on the coast, Gaido’s can serve up to 2,500 happy diners a day. Plus, with the Pelican Club, private dining, catering, a new food truck and parking galore…it’s easy to see why Gaido’s -– for over 100 years – is truly the coastal classic.

The food was fantastic—really fresh and an overall great experience. However, I wish they hadn’t begun cleaning and closing the restaurant two hours before closing time. It made us feel rushed during our meal, especially when they started sweeping under our tables. Despite this minor inconvenience, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be returning.

We had a great dinner at Trattoria la Vigna. It was a great classic Italian restaurant in Galveston downtown. I had the spinach ravioli with mushrooms cream sauce and my husband had the veal with pasta. The ravioli was outstanding and compared well so some we had in Italy. We shared their octopus salad and had the chocolate cheesecake for dessert.

We really enjoyed this place with friends. The food was very good and the service was outstanding. We appreciate that Paco is always present in his restaurants. This was our first time here but we have been to Vargas a few times. We will return to Rudy and Paco again. Their crab bisque was wonderful.
