I’m only giving two stars for the friendly service that we received. Unfortunately, I would never return to this place because of the quality and taste of the food. I had the chicken parmesan(my favorite Italian dish) with penne noodles. The sauce tasted like it came from a can and my parmesan chicken was so soggy that I had to remove the breading in order to prevent my palate from going into shock. The soup was acceptable when you’re super hungry and there’s nothing to eat. My toddler would not eat any of the food at all. The upside is that they offer a military discount.

So disappointed… On our way home we stopped here having heard good things. The only good thing about this place was the service. Very very great service! Nice girls and seemed happy! Food: luke-warm and didn’t taste fresh at all. I ordered the lasagna and the pasta sauce seemed as if it were from a jar. The bread that came with the lasagna was good. I didn’t come to eat bread though. The chicken Parmesan was soggy. I’m really bummed because I was really excited to try it here. ALSO! There were a bunch of flies by our table. We had to keep smacking our arms everywhere. Not cool. Sorry but I won’t be back.

The food was great. The service was so-so. We were ignored and/or forgotten sometimes.(E.g., I had to ask twice for my drink, but the other four in my party got theirs; She brought two breadsticks for FIVE Italian dinners; when looking for more bread, none of the four employees looked in our direction.) In their defense, we came in one hour before close, but it was a full hour. Again, the food was very good.

Future retirees stopped in on our way to Tucson from New Mexico. Did not want to eat Mexican Food so we checked this place out. The delicious smell of the food from the outside parking lot lured me in. My hubby ordered the Penne pasta with feta, basil, tomatoes and a creamy sauce. He left the plate lickity clean! I guess he really enjoyed it. The rolls were nice and steaming hot! I ordered Angel Hair pasta with sauteed vegetables in marinara sauce. The description did not mention cheese. The sweet waitress confirmed. To my surprise, the plate came with cheese on it and then the waitress told me that apparently, cheese was a part of the marinara sauce! GASP! However, Kudos to the waitress and the cook who helped create something special! A delicious plate of angel hair pasta tossed with fresh garlic and oil and fresh, sautéed veggies. I was more than happy. Best pasta I have enjoyed east of California! We will be back. Keep up the awesome customer service.

This used to be one of our go-to places when we were in Benson about six years ago. Had to stop in when in town for the sake of nostalgia, and I’m happy to report that its as good as I remember. The cheese ravioli with sausage is worth the heartburn, and my German chocolate cake was phenomenal. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop in and try this unassuming little place. You’ll be happy you did.

We stopped in after visiting the Caverns – wanted something local rather than the standard McD’s. Service was awesome, and the food was great. We had burgers and sandwiches – everything was fresh and we had the homemade French fries which were fantastic. Highly recommended overall!

My friend and I ate here on a Friday night. I had a house chicken and pasta dish.l. she had the all you can eat fried, baked or both special(although she does not at much). Both were good. Service was good. Seems like a lot of locals here. Good find. Good experience).

My wife and I just ate here tonight after searching on Unilocal.Although it doesn’t look like much from the outside, the food and atmosphere inside is fantastic! My wife had prime rib while I stuck to the Italian fare. Fried mozzarella and lasagna were some of the best I’ve had anywhere. It may sound odd but you have to try their Texas toast bread… so good! Highly recommend this place and its friendly and efficient staff!

Very good food. It was very busy when we were there and our waitress was clearly running her feet off so we had to wait for take out boxes and drink refills.

Gotta say, this place kinda rocks. We travel for a living, and walked over from the campground. We had dinner here our first night and it was so good, we delayed our trip to walk over the next morning! For dinner, we each had the special, which had chicken parm, the biggest cheese ravioli I’ve ever seen, meatballs, lasagne and amazing garlic toast. It was great! For breakfast we had omelets and their green chili breakfast burrito. That burrito may be the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. Potatoes were great. All in all, can’t wait to come back to Benson so I can eat here again!

We were pleasantly surprised with how fresh the food was, and at very affordable prices! You could easily share a pasta dish, which we would recommend. The burger was juicy and fries fresh cut. All pastas are made to order and include a good sized house salad and garlic breadsticks comparable to Olive Garden. This place is an Italian-American oasis in the middle of the dessert. Skip the fast food and treat your family to Galleanos. Favorite pasta: Penne with feta, tomatoes and basil (But the chicken parm was very moist also) Fav Salad: Spinach served with warm dressing, pine nuts, bacon and red onions. Produce was very fresh!

2.5 I suppose. Nothing special. It had more business than the other places in town we passed. When we walked out I saw the RV Park Observatory(cool!), and the Safeway Super Market. Probably should have just foraged in there.

We had an exceptional meal last night. I had their special which was a chicken breast over rice and beans with a salsa on top and my wife had fried liver and onions. Both food and service were excellent.

On our drive back to one of our former areas of residence in Arizona, we stopped at Galleano’s for lunch. My wife had the patty melt and fries which she said was good. I had the angel hair pasta with marinara sauce and meat balls. My meal was good, but I have had better meat balls. The included bread stick was very ordinary, not even warm, and the salad was okay, nothing special. Service was very good.

Stopped here based on posted reviews. We had their breakfast specials. They were reasonable. The food was perfectly cooked and yummy. The waitress was on top of her job and very sweet to top it off. The place was clean and comfortable. The decorations were charming. I’ll go back there again on our way to California.

Great for breakfast! We had a fun waitress(older lady) with a dry sense of humor. Six of us on motorcycles stopped in for breakfast and all of us loved our food. I highly recommend the blueberry pancakes and the Egg, Cheese, Ham, Bacon AND Sausage sandwich — yes it included all three meats. Great service and great food — highly recommend!

If you’re wanting to get back on the road any time soon forget it. Fell in here off the I-10 on our way back to SF. Zero ambiance unless your blind, deaf and dumb. 3 rude, incoherent waitresses wandering around in slo-mo BS’ing with the locals. Waited for 25 minutes at a table for service after being seated in this hole. The place wasn’t even busy. They just watched without ever saying a word as we got up and left disgusted and amazed all at the same time. We found a great pizza place a few blocks away. R&R Pizza Express 161 Huachuca St. Best Pizza we’d had in a long time. 8÷12÷2015 Update — Was in Benson a few weeks ago, Galleano’s has gone belly up. Surprise, surprise ! LoL

My food was ok, I had a steak and so e veggies. I really didn’t want to eat carbs, I probably should have not picked a Italian restaurant right? My steak was cooked well and so were my veggies. My BF had the fish. Don’t eat it it was taste less and very bland.
