Caliza Mediterranean Cuisine — Restaurant in Galena

I recently had the distinct pleasure of dining at Caliza Mediterranean Cuisine and was deeply impressed by the commitment to excellence evident in both the service and the cuisine. The staff's attention to customers was truly exceptional, demonstrating a level of professionalism and genuine care that made the entire experience seamless and welcoming. Furthermore, the quality of the food was outstanding; every dish was clearly freshly made and utilized high-quality ingredients, with highlights like the perfectly crisp and savory Spanish-style ham croquettes and the wonderfully spiced Moroccan chicken kebab showcasing the kitchen's remarkable skill. For anyone eager to explore new kinds of foods and dishes from all over the Mediterranean, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit, and I would offer a 100% recommendation...

A hidden gem overlooking the streets of downtown Galena. I am still in shock that the place wasn't filled when I visited. The atmosphere was warm and the service was attentive and kind.

It deserves way more customers and rave! Thank you for the incredible experience; I...

This place was fantastic! We consider ourselves Foodies. We’ve eaten great food before but this is the first time we’ve eaten food that you can taste how much passion went into cooking it. We started with the Mediterranean Seafood Cocktail for an appetizer, Our son had the NY Strip, and we each had the seafood pasta special. I forgot to take pictures. This place is our new favorite! The owner came to our table to check on us. Such a nice man. I can not say enough about this gem. You need to give it a try. Guaranteed you will be hooked. I can’t wait...
