    Gale's is our spot for a nice work lunch (great salads) or for a nice dinner with friends, or a special someone (terrific entrees). The bread, olive oil & balsamic appetizer is a highlight as well!

    Not bad. Service was fab. Food was good, yet not exceptional. As an Italian who grew up on the east cost, I'm a snob and I admit it. But with LA's new crop of Italian spots, not sure I'd rush back.

    Above average quality Italian restaurant with exceptionally well prepared entrees. Service is slow so you are going to stay awhile so have a few drinks at the full bar.

    Try the cioppino! It's not on the lunch menu, but they'll make it for you if you ask.
