The Corcoran GroupAugust 19, 2013A great place to come for classic Italian comfort food - the rice balls and meatball sliders are must-order dishes. For those with a gluten allergy, they make delicious gluten-free homemade pastas.
Chad RodriguezAugust 23, 2014Everything. I love pasta and I literally just have to work my way through this menu. Calamari is amazing and my first go around was the Rigatoni Amatricana
CoverJanuary 7, 2014Classic italian done right. The Mad Calamari smothered in spicy marinara is a MUST. Go with the penne w/ vodka sauce or carbonara and you'll leave happy. Pay with cover and skip waiting for the check!

Brendan LewisJanuary 18, 2015As chairman emeritus of the Foursquare Pasta Club, I heartily endorse this place and the pesto pasta magic it makes
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015The Bitches say: B+. Fun vibe and comforting Italian classics with a twist. Galli is a welcome addition to the Lower East Side neighborhood. Read more
Katie CongletonOctober 9, 2015Such a gem! Loved the decor and ambiance of Gali, and loved the food. The grilled calamari is listed under "snacks" but is plenty for an entree for one person - and so delicious!- Michelle WilesJanuary 12, 2017Every pasta is sooo good. I got the Norma. Also the spicy calamari is one of the best calamari dishes I've had
Ray LinJanuary 20, 2015Pasta la vista, baby. The Gamberi is my favorite - rigatoni with shrimp & broccoli in a delicious pink sauce that you'll want to sauce zamboni with every piece of bread you have.
StayNYC RentalsOctober 17, 2018Go-to spot for wrangling a big group. It’s a lively space, the tables are big, the food is surprisingly good, and the check always ends up being way more reasonable than anywhere else in the area.
Chris KonecnyFebruary 9, 2016The interior and ambiance remind me of one of my favorite places in Rome. The food is delicious. Great spot- DoubleDeuceDecember 26, 2018Definitely a SoHo Scene kind of a place. The food is delicious, reasonably priced and fairly portioned. They could use another bathroom upstairs so people don't need to use the kitchen bathroom.
EvieAugust 17, 2014EVERYTHING is awesome here. Start with the spicy calamari. And can't go wrong with any of the pastas which are all available with gluten free pasta made of rice!- Nidhi KayJanuary 8, 2020Food is so delicious!! Funghi pasta with chicken added so good, also beef raghu and penne were excellent, mad calamari and baby rice balls for appetizers 💗
Josh TaroliJune 18, 2015Pasta Vongole tastes good. However, the white wine tastes a bit too strong and overtones the wished fish taste. However, still a great meal!
Geoffroy BablonMarch 19, 2014This place is surprisingly quiet and spacious, it's a great Friday lunch when you're in the mood for something a little fancier than the usual. Beware, the paninis are massive.
Sophie OmnomJune 12, 2018Great for a date, business lunch, or anything between. Excellent pastas, but good food all-around
Ray LopesAugust 25, 2016The food is delicious, I recommend the Veal Milanese. The environment is a little bit too loud (from people trying to dine and have a conversation on top of loud music).
Waiter knows me by first name basis. Drinks are great and the gamberi is something I crave on a regular basis
Denis SosnovtsevMarch 24, 2017Tuna tartare is beautiful and 👌. Sit in the back where light will filter in thru the skylight.
- Josh TaroliJune 18, 2015Great calamari. Share it as a starter. Awesome grill taste with the right amount of spicy!
Lorgio JimenezNovember 2, 2014Mad calamari is so good. Expect to eat garlic. Spaghetti carbonara was amazing and al dente
Alyson JacobsAugust 4, 2012Baby Riceballs, meatball slider and Baked Clams are AMAZING!!! My new favorite drink list- Diablos Elbow! Love the ambiance, comfortable booths. Great experience.
Rachel GruberJune 24, 2014Great place. Went with a party of 10, everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. Get the calamari and anything with the marinara.
Andy RosenbergMarch 25, 2014Great food and coffee to fuel your business meetings in SoHo. Pay with Cover and skip waiting for the check.
Kathryn FoxGrovesSeptember 18, 2013Service was superb. Brooks was friendly and "established trust" with his recommendations. Baby rice balls are a must! Look forward to returning.
Lauren MacAugust 18, 2015Just the right amount of busy, don't miss the calamari, magic mushrooms, or carbonara. Happy hour from 5-7pm too!
MikeMarch 26, 2014Galli is the best Italian fare in Soho - and takes the place of other notable comfort fare venues like Frank in the EV
monique sultanFebruary 27, 2013Great service. Great vibe. Great place to chill with friends. Food was tasty and felt like real Italian home cooking! Ill be back!!
Jordan AAugust 12, 2014Pasta bolognese was spot on with plenty of meat in it. They even have gluten free pasta as an option which tasted just like regular pasta.
Jorge Díaz LargoDecember 4, 2014The pasta is awesome, the atmosphere is chic and the price is affordable but NYC standards. Totally worth it.
Danielle CarrickApril 11, 2013The decor is classic New York cool (ie. Exposed brick, retro tiles, dim lights, sexy hostesses). Our service was slow but friendly; food was on par. The Mad Calamari was the highlight.
R KMarch 20, 2017Great food, attentive service crew and high energy NYC patrons. Perfect to kick start your weekend.
Ekrem EdipDecember 18, 2018Simply love it. The meal is good, music is good too. That's all what i need...
MonishaMarch 27, 2016Reasonably priced, good for groups, and nice ambiance with a little boxing memorabilia thrown in the mix
Davneet KohliFebruary 7, 2015Spicy calamari - Don't leave without trying it! Also, amazing service. I was truly impressed.
Dustin SveumAugust 4, 2012Anything with their house red sauce is fantastic. Loved the 'drunken' calamari...CEO lightly breaded it could be healthy.
Tatiana HanDecember 24, 2015The Grilled Calamari is exceptional with perfectly cooked octopus and well seasoned arugula salad.
Charley ToddSeptember 1, 2015One of my favorite Italian places in New York. Love the meatballs. Great atmosphere.
Whitney FishmanDecember 22, 2015Don't come here looking for brunch they don't offer it. The pastas are great. Keep it simple with the pesto.
Christine GAugust 28, 2012Faves: mad calamari, mini rice balls, pesto pasta, chicken parm, tiramisu and chocolate cake desserts. Great place.
Michelle AlexanderOctober 27, 2015Rice balls and chicken parm sliders are great for sharing. The Carbonara was the highlight of my meal
Layla Khoury-HanoldDecember 30, 2012Get the Mad Calamari, kale salad & chicken parm! Ask for Tavi - sweet, charming & knowledgeable server!
Jasmine MehrabiSeptember 4, 2021Great vibe inside. Pasta was hot but other than that there wasn’t much flavor or anything special about it. A younger crowd compared to Antique Garage next door.
Best Italian spot! Get the mozzarella chips, mad calamari, and rice balls! Bomb.com- Come here for a nice Italian lunch, and don't forget to take an iced latte to go when you head back to the office.
