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

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.

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.

Paid a visit after a recommendation from a work colleague... must say that I was happy that I did go. Food options were good and a fair representation for vegetarians and vegans. Eating option included some meal-deal offers that could be available. Seating was pretty comfortable and the setting inside was good. Not sure how they fare in summer... i.e. whether they take advantage of the location set in the middle of the old docks area,.. a winter visit did not permit an outside meal!!. Access around the place was pretty decent and if I was required to find a negative then it would be the road access and distance to the city centre... a little bit of a potch by road.. down there, left here, right there and double back on yourself but there is a footbridge as a short cut if you leave the car closer to the town.. but then, having visited Swansea City centre a few weeks ago on a Friday night and seen vile and lewd behaviour there, I suspect the location in the docks and away from that would appeal greatly to many others. Pay them a visit.. you won't be disappointed.

They have a very good deals. 2 courses. Lunch £17.50 & Eve £23. The starter was Callimari which had no colour and was under cooked so chewy. To be fair the waiter exchanged for meatballs which were OK because of the sauce. I suspect both starts were frozen and were not great as many others also commented fro our group of 10. My main rump steak was good. Though the cheapest part of the meal the chips were few on the plate. Others had potatoes which with mains which were all tasty enough. It is appreciated the set menus were competitively priced, but at the end of the the food has to be great these days for people to come back. Especially with social media. The staff were excellent as was the wine.
