Great People and Mostly Good Food

We went to Galletti’s on a quiet Sunday evening in Seaview (outside Long Beach), Washington. Initially, Rachel didn’t want to go. The outside didn’t look very appealing. I thought different. It had a sheet metal and wood look that I liked. Eventually, we did go in.

As we walked up we saw a sign that stated it was All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti night. Apparently every Sunday is. As a result they had a shortened menu.

Good thing they had outside seating as well. While it was in the mid-70s outside, the inside dining area was VERY warm. Outside was nice and comfortable.

Of the few apps on the menu we got the cheesy bread. It was pretty good. Very cheesy and the right kind of bread, as far as we’re concerned. It was served with a generous helping of marinara sauce that was thick and tasty.

The meals each came with a house salad. We got them with a house Italian dressing. The lettuce was crisp and there wasn’t too much dressing. Not bad.

Rachel has the eggplant parmesan. Her mom makes it more as a casserole with the eggplant in layers. This was essentially pasta with red sauce and breaded eggplant rounds on top. She liked the pasta but the eggplant was rubbery and underdone.

Chris had the spaghetti with meatballs and, since he’s a child, loved it! The meatballs had a great flavor, the spaghetti was cooked well, and the sauce was good. Both meals came with a nice and soft, but slightly crispy, piece of garlic bread.

We hadn’t decided to get desert. It was enough food. However, the waitress was giving tiramisu to the bachelorette table next to us and, when she was bringing it out, hit the back of my chair with the door. I joked that she owed us a piece of tiramisu now! Later on she brought us a big piece and didn’t charge us for it!

Overall, it was a decent Italian place in a small town. You don’t always get that. I think Rachel would rate it a bit lower, but, she’s Italian and pretty critical of these restaurants!
