First week-end guest at our new brunch says,”This breakfast is luxury!” July 2008
“I have eaten in a variety of really good restaurants all over the country, but I must say that was the best meal I have had ...and your staff makes it so enjoyable to eat here.” Dan J.
“I was here last evening. It was so good that I am back again this evening.” A first-time guest.
“La Galleria is the hidden gem of Edmonds.” A regular La Galleria guest.
I have been in here several times for dinner and have always had a wonderful meal. This is a nice family-run place that serves solid (but not haute) Italian food. Think great homemade pasta and veal scallopini as opposed to something you need to know Italian to pronounce.
Tried the calamari fritti tonight and it is a totally different dish than just about anyplace else makes. Pan-fried, rather than deep-fried, so you actually taste the calamari rather than the inch of batter surrounding the calamari made everyplace else. Plus about a bottle's worth of excellent capers to top it off.
The owner (whom we've always seen in there when we've gone) is very knowledgeable about wine. The wine list is small and may seem generic when you first look at it. However, all of the wines are carefully chosen. When we've asked Josh for a recommendation, he's always come up with something we've liked. He once had a Swiss (!) wine as a special, and we were bowled over by it. Not to mention that the wine prices are really reasonable.
As another reviewer noted, this is located in a "strip mall" (or about as much of a strip mall as it gets in downtown Edmonds). Don't let that put you off, though. Ambiance is quiet and low-key with large, wide-spaced tables so you can actually have a conversation.
Highly recommended. We always go here or to Olive's whenever we eat out in Edmonds. Brett G. (5-star quote from Yelp)
