I really love this place. Its a little far from most of the touristy places in Galveston so not too many people are familiar with it, but it is seriously a little known gem! The atmosphere is very homey, and the outdoor seating is beautiful with all the plants. Food is great (but a little pricey). Keep in mind they close in the early afternoon but open back up for dinner

Our 1st time visit… burger, fries and wine were great. Owners and staff very friendly. Forgot to take pictures before we halved the burger. Second visit on 7/13 and again, great food. Had to get another burger and the chicken salad sandwich. Very happy to see a new wine list.

Really, really good would be an understatement. If you want hand-made pastas, look no further. Tons of flavor cooked perfectly. It was a confection and infusion of flavors on another level.

Amazing food that was made with fresh ingredients. We truly enjoyed every dish we ate. We had fresh brewed coffee, artichoke appetizer, vegetarian panini with truffle fries, and bread pudding for dessert. Can’t wait to go back!

Cute little bistro with an amazing outdoor space! We went for the first time after the Art Walk. We split the Italian Grinder panini and sweet potato tots. It was more than enough for two and delicious!

Hidden gem for sure! Everything was delicious, fresh, and the owners and staff were lovely. We had the spinach pizza with prosciutto added, the verde burger, parm fries and hibiscus tea. Sooo good. The pizza crust was perfect and I’m picky about pizza! We had to take dessert home and I can’t wait to try that too. Pasta is made from scratch too so we’ll try that next time. ❤️

This place is incredible and beats most restaurants on the island. My girlfriend and I went there on a lunch date and the food as well as seating was amazing!!! She got the forager with goat cheese (100% worth the extra $3) and I got the caprese panini. Let me tell you…every single bite was heaven and all we could talk about was how much we were enjoying ourselves. The fries and chips both seem homemade. You should check this place out!!!

I found this place quite by accident, and am so glad I did! It’s absolutely charming, sweet, quirky, clean, and the staff is so very kind and accommodating! The porch seating outside is very comfortable and pleasant, and my kids loved coloring with the sidewalk chalk and admiring their vegetable plants growing alongside the building. The food was delicious and pleasing to the eye. Overall, I highly recommended Gonzalo’s!

What a great find! Wonderful service, the food is excellent and quite unique, and the ambiance is lovely in the house over 125 years old. Try any of the pastas, the new menu has some fried artichoke appetizers that are terrific, and the tiramisu is a great way to wrap things up!
