Gallinis Italian Restaurant

Beautiful birthday meal for two at Gallinis

We ordered the whitebait and the meatballs to start, and the duck in port and prune with chips, spaghetti bolognese and garlic bread

As you can see, the portion sizes were generous. All dishes were delicious and freshly cooked

The waiter was very attentive and welcoming

Will return here again soon

What a lovely place. By my own admission I'm not a huge seafood lover but tonight I really thought I'd put myself out and give it a try with the seafood mixed grill. It was delicious. Tiger prawns, tuna steak, sea bass, it was all so delicious. If you're a seafood lover I would 100% recommend this restaurant and that's coming from someone who's not a massive seafood fan.

We wanted to take our dog with us as she is only young, it said dogs welcome downstairs but as it was evening only the upstairs was open. But they kindly opened it for us & nothing was to much trouble for the staff, running up & down stairs to serve our food & checking everything was OK.
Definitely recommend.

Had dinner before tending the Theatre at Swansea Arena, and the food, service and atmosphere were absolutely delightful. Food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommended, and we will be going back to try a few more meals on the menu. Bravo, Bravissima!

Very happy having an evening meal here with the partner,very nice atmosphere,relaxing but happy chilled vibes,nice Italian music quietly in background,,the food was honestly very nice and fairly priced,had a dark haired female waitress who was polite and chilled,the gentleman was polite and had good banter,,even if had to wait a little longer than normal I would be happy due to troubling times for restraunts as the food was really good and service was nice.. Will be back again soon 👍

Lovely meal arranged by my husband. Lovely views over the Marina. Very attentive staff.

Went to Gallinis with a few colleagues for dinner. The staff struggled to answer my questions about dietary requirements on the phone leading up to the booking so i tried to make it easier for them by going for the most basic dish (tomato sauce and vegetables with spaghetti). I ordered garlic bread with cheese which was greasy and I only ate one slice. The pasta dish was gorgeous.

The massive downfall is they charged me for their set menu - I didn't get a starter or a main from it. I ordered garlic bread with cheese priced at £4.95. I was charged £27.95 meaning i paid a whopping £23 for tomato pasta. I queried this at the table and was met with "it's Christmas it's a set menu". Not if you look at the menu you will see the garlic breads are a side.

This also happened to some of my other colleagues who had basic food (eg pesto pasta) yet other colleagues who had the manzo and lamb shanks were charged less?

I have had the pleasure of eating in Michelin star restaurants and even their basic pasta dishes have been priced considerably less than Gallinis.

My colleagues and I went to a couple of other places following Gallinis and they were all absolutely bunged with people. Gallinis had more staff than tables - coincidence? I think not.

It's disgusting that Gallinis are essentially ripping people off especially those who are trying to support local businesses this time of year. It's a shame because I enjoyed my pasta but I know myself and other colleagues will not be revisiting Gallinis because of their attitudes at the table when paying and the blatant money grabbing they demonstrated. Disappointed.

The food was very delicious. Chill atmosphere with great service. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommended!
