I lived in Lewiston for 22 years and loved all the great places to eat. Of course, each meal ended with a trip to Hibbard’s custard. But now that I’m hanging in the big city of Niagara Falls, I rarely head 10 minutes north to eat anymore. So enter my buddy, Michael Hibbard, a new restaurateur with a trendy idea.
Gallo Coal Fire Kitchen on Center Street has fresh salads with greens I can’t pronounce, meatballs, hot pretzels, chicken dishes, pasta to kill for, and that’s just the start. The featured item is the coal fired thin crust pizza with a huge variety of toppings fit for all tastes. A full bar and tremendous wine list keeps patrons comfortable to hang out and chill with friends and neighbors. I counted 12 folks who needed a “how ya doing?” when I walked in with my daughter and a friend of hers. Of course I got the eye roll from my daughter because I talk to too many people.
The staff is welcoming and efficient, the place is comfortable and clean, and it smells great. We had salads and a pesto pizza, I really didn’t want to stop eating, but after Super Bowl weekend, I can’t take it anymore! Cheers to Michael and his family on a great operation, I’m truly sorry it took me so long to get there.
Do yourself a favor and plan an evening at Gallo. 800 Center St. Lewiston, NY 14092.
Really solid review. I can just taste the food they way you talked, in depth about the flavors and ingredients. Greens you can’t pronounce? Mmmm sounds delicious.
Great review on an amazing restaurant! And for the record, I’m pretty sure Mads was most happy to see me
