Palmetto Osteria

Everything about Palmetto Osteria was incredible. Our server, Genesis, was our favorite part though. This was my husband and I’s first time eating here and she had so many good recommendations. We ended up getting the Fritto Misto and Pepperoni Flatbread to start along with an Aperol Coconut Margarita. She suggested adding hot honey to the flatbread and that took it to a whole other level. I can’t recommend this enough! Then she pointed out the Black Truffle pasta as a favorite of hers from the entrees and it was amazing. We also split a Caesar Salad with chicken and some asparagus. Everything was full of flavor and delicious. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Galveston Island. The ambience and decor was also beautiful and I felt like we had been transported to Italy. Than

Great date night vibes with an authentic menu. You can taste that everything is made in house-from the calamari batter to beautifully crafted cocktails. Wine bottle pricing is very fair with great food selection. My Pistacho Pesto Pork Ribeye was perfect in everyway.

Tucked away from the busier side of Galveston a quaint refuge I nearly would have missed had I not been looking for it, Palmetto Osteria is my new favorite spot for Italian fare. The service was friendly. The atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. We started off dinner with a bread board of foccacia, which comes with two spreads, a fantastic white bean paste which is similar to hummus, but I may prefer it now to hummus, and marinated tomatoes. For our mains we ordered the Veal Piccata and Black Truffle pasta, both were wonderful, the truffle wasn't overwhelming in the pasta and the Veal was cooked to perfection. We kept it simple for dessert and capped it off with a pistachio Gelato, which was recommended by our server Genesis and it did not disappoint. Genesis was very helpful and friendly,

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.

One of the best dining experiences in Galveston! Palmetto Osteria offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere, outstanding food, and excellent service — all with beautiful views of the water. Every dish we ordered was fantastic, and their espresso martinis are exceptional. Truly a place worth returning to!
