This was far one of the best Italian places to eat while visiting Galveston . Our 1st visit to Galveston. The chopped salad was amazing & so good, enough to share, if my husband would like olives but my favorite 😍. Had the rigatoni bolognese, so good! My husband had the chicken parm, again enough for 2( 2chicken breast). Topped off with the Gelato, scoop of vanilla & chocolate, yummy 😋.

I completely recommend this place! I was absolutely enchanted with the experience, especially because we chose this restaurant to celebrate after I proposed to my future wife, which made the evening even more special. The restaurant is located in a small development with just a few businesses, and the whole area gives you the feeling of being somewhere like Rosemary Beach or Alys Beach in Florida, but without having to leave Galveston. It’s a beautiful and unique atmosphere. The restaurant itself has a wonderful indoor area with multiple different spaces and atmospheres, while the outdoor patio overlooks a beautiful lake. The service was simply unbeatable — absolutely spectacular from beginning to end. The food was excellent. I highly recommend the Frutti di Mare and the Rigatoni Bolognese. The Frutti di Mare is especially a great choice if you enjoy a little bit of spice. The prices are also very reasonable considering the quality of the pasta and the overall experience. The tiramisu was absolutely spectacular and definitely worth trying. During our visit, I also had the opportunity to try a local beer, which I really enjoyed and thought was a great complement to the meal. What made the experience even more memorable was that, after the staff found out that we had just gotten engaged, they surprised us by giving us a bottle of champagne so everyone at the table could celebrate and make a toast together. That was such a thoughtful gesture and something we truly appreciated. Between the beautiful setting, incredible service, delicious food, generous portions, reasonable prices, and the special attention we received for our engagement, this place exceeded our expectations. Definitely a restaurant I would recommend and a place we will remember for a very special moment in our lives. Palmetto Osteria ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Magarita was such a pleasure to be served by. Her recommendations were spot on and she was so great with checking on us just enough. She recommended adding grilled shrimp to the black truffle pasta. Chef's kiss!! Will be returning on our next trip back to the beach

My fiancé and I visited Palmetto Osteria for the first time tonight, and it was absolutely amazing! We had a reservation and were seated promptly upon arrival. We were lucky enough to have Jasmine as our server—she was an absolute delight and truly made our evening special with her warm, attentive service. To top it all off, we enjoyed the most beautiful sunset view while dining. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was incredible, and the service was exceptional. I would absolutely recommend Palmetto Osteria to anyone looking for amazing food, stunning views, and a memorable dining experience!

Mother’s Day at Palmetto Osteria was absolutely beautiful. My husband managed to get us a 5:30 reservation. It was either that or 8 because they were fully booked for the holiday. After dining there I completely understand why. The view overlooking the lake was stunning, the food was divine and the service felt relaxed, easy, and welcoming. Our server felt less like staff and more like an extension of our family. We all enjoyed our food and the wine we paired with it. Dessert was great as well. Mother’s Day was a hit. I’m glad we chose this place. And, thanks to Eric our overall experience was exactly what we expected.

Visited again May 1st for our 33rd wedding anniversary with our Best Man and his wife attending. Good as our first visit and we ate mostly the same meals. First time visit even though we live 10 minutes away. Atmosphere and service (Dan) were excellent! Chicken piccata, mussels, salad, and garlic bread were wonderful and tasty. Eric stopped by the table to make sure all was good - and it was... We will be back.

This is my absolute vision of an ideal lifestyle. The lush greenery stretches seamlessly from the Golf Club, with community streets gently embraced by flourishing foliage. Each residence is a masterpiece of architecture, standing like a work of art. Dining at this Italian Bistro is more than just a treat for the palate—it’s a feast for the senses. Surrounded by elegant decor and picture-perfect views, the experience is the height of luxury. It’s truly soul-healing.
