Gallinis Italian Restaurant & Coffee shop is a well established Swansea business for over a decade, located in the city’s SA1 Marina. A restaurant with an enviable reputation for fine dining, and good service, was taken into new ownership by Gurbuz Vural (Baz) and Selcuk Meseci (Sul), Sul the head chef of the well established La Memo Brasserie restaurants of Neath & Port Talbot, has taken over the Head Chef of Gallinis.

The new owners bring with them, many years of experience in fine dining, and aim to further cement the reputation of Gallinis, with some new dishes and ideas, while keeping many well loved favourite dishes, prepared by Guiseppe.

My son brought us here after his graduation. The location is amazing with a view over the Marina. Walking inside I thought maybe the decor could do with some freshing up, however a large collection of Limoncello bottles is perhaps all the interior design you need! We had turned up without a booking, but they fitted us in. The food was really good and also the atmosphere was excellent the staff were really friendly and it felt less like being in restaurant and more like being a guest at a family party. In hospitality with so much economic difficulty this kind of restaurant with really happy vibe is becoming increasingly rare. Keep up the great work.

Having been recommended by Amy at Morgan's Hotel we decided to try Gallinis Restaurant. I'm not sure we would have found it otherwise as it is over the bridge just past the Pump House, but very glad we did. The staff were attentive from the moment we came up the stairs, it had a good atmosphere and from most tables you can view the waterfront. They had a set menu with a good number of choices or a specials board with again lots to choose from. I had the caprese salad and spaghetti & meatballs from the set menu and my partner had the mussels and the mixed grilled fish from the specials board...all the dishes were well presented and very tasty. We had cheesecake & the Tiramisu for desert, again very tasty. Finished off with a complementary Lemoncello. A lovely evening, definitely recommend if you are in the area

We rented out the bottom floor for our Christmas party at Gallinis, and the team was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process - very responsive, communicative, and always making sure we had everything we needed. Kurt is an absolute star, and I’d recommend working with him to anyone. His team was also very friendly and welcoming on the evening, making sure everything ran smoothly. A big shout-out to Olga and Baz as well. Thank you all for making our Christmas party a great one!

Found Gallinis by accident, we had driven past what turned out to be the back of the building. Entrance is from the marina side. My friend and I arrived at 7pm and despite not booking we were shown to a table for 2 in the busy restaurant. The menus were clearly priced and we both opted for the two course meal option from the menu. We were also presented with a specials board with plenty of choice. I chose meatballs as a starter and lasagne as a main both of which were superb washed down with Italian lager, so good I had 4 pints. We then decided to have dessert, a creme broulee which again was delicious. Staff were friendly. cleanliness was spot on and the food excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again if we're ever in Swansea.

A wonderful family run Italian restaurant. We had the 2 course set lunchtime menu for £17.50. A wonderful choice of dishes and all expertly prepared. They have a good selection of GF options. Great service and we had a table by the window overlooking the marina. We will definitely return to this gem again.
