Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A group of us enjoyed our meal here after a morning walk. We ate from the three course menu at £14.95 per head. Bread was also provided at the table. The food was good and was served promptly. The main meal portions were small, but were adequately supplemented with vegetables and potatoes. probably worth booking at busier times.

A group of 13 of us had lunch and were looked after extremely well.
We all opted for the set lunch which at £14.99 represents fantastic value for money - 3 courses including vegetables. (also included bread sticks, melba toast and bread)
The food quality was first rate with very good sized portions and a great choice of dishes on the menu. (included vegetables were saute potatoes, beans, carrots, brocolli and zucchini)
Service was friendly, quick and professional.
Most other restaurants would charge the same price for 2 courses!!!!

We were recommended La Galleria by our Italian host at the Glove House and were not disappointed. A traditional Italian restaurant with a substantial menu and delicious specials. We had a rib eye steak and some delicious ravioli. The chef even came to the table to ensure we had an enjoyable meal - he need not have worried.

Absolutely shockingly bad place.
One of the waiters started by giving me attitude for standing where we were told to wait for our table because "I was in his way and I should know better about social distancing". I reacted by suggesting he only need ask for me to move without the disgraceful behaviour and that I am a customer so perhaps he might want to consider a politer tone next time !
I called him out on it in front of others and I calmed down and thought that was that the end of it all as you could see he realised he had probably overstepped the mark.
We then waited 40 mins for our starters (we were I must add waited on by a lovely lady who you could tell was highly embarrassed and wanted to help as much as she could.
She was the most amazing thing about the night and I felt sorry for her working with this cretin.
Alas it all went downhill again.
My wife ordered crab linguine, I wretched at my first taster. The crab was not good, 100% not fresh at all and verging on off.
We didn't complain to be fair and perhaps should have (in the interest of being transparent on our review). My wife did eat some of it to be polite.
The pasta I had was actually okay - nothing special for the £10 price tag (starter)
The mains again my poor wife had seabass which was so off it was almost back on again. She barely ate it and we spent 10 mins trying to complain but the owner was too busy.
We just asked for the bill and then had the old fiasco with card payments with my best mate from the way in.
His attitude was unbelievable to the point I was happy to walk out there and then without paying a penny. Tried to blame my wife's card for not working (amex). She politely asked if he could try again and he stormed off waving his arms about muttering.
He came back and demanded another card.
I said that we had already had a run in on the way in and perhaps he wanted to consider the manner he spoke to people (again) or consider a career outside of hospitality.
His retort "I'm busy and you were in my way. I'm fine, your card doesn't work".
My card went through and he slammed it back down saying "see i told you it was HER card"
£90 for the most horrible experience ever. Horrible service, terribly unfresh fish. And absolute moron waiter who thinks he can talk to people like crap.
Please avoid. Places like this don't deserve to trade.

First impressions were great as we sat outside in a lovely courtyard as the weather was lovely. However once seated we were disappointed by the small menu, less than 8 dishes, and the sharing risotto dishes were not available. We chose spaghetti bolognese x2 and plain pasta for my 10 year old. Both dishes were fine but nothing special. When the bill arrived we were amazed that we had been charged £11.95 for each pasta dish including the plain spaghetti with only oil! The waiter when questioned was not interested and said that was the price for pasta. We felt that they were happy for us to be in and out and they offered no chat with us at all. We left feeling ripped off and hugely underwhelmed by the whole meal.

I reserved a table for 2 for a special anniversary dinner a month in advance via the restaurant website. I received a 'Status Confirmed' response and assumed all was OK. Arrived on time only to find the door locked, someone came out and advised the restaurant was closed on Mondays. I later found out that the booking was made through 'Table Agent' from a link on the website. If the restaurant is going to use a booking agent they need to regularly check their bookings and if they find an error contact the customer to advise of the situation. Due to the Covid restrictions, we had some difficulty finding an alternative and a nice surprise for my partner was ruined.
Table Agent still show the restaurant open 12.00 to 21.00 on Mondays.

We’ve dined at La Galleria a few times, but it’s been quite a while since our last visit, so we booked lunch following a walk around Blenheim Palace. My wife (who is Italian) and I almost never eat in Italian restaurants in the UK, certainly never in the chains. When we lived in Poole, we were spoilt with the luxury of two fine options, the small family-run Da Vinci’s on the old quay and another modern one overlooking the Marina, both very different but both with great food and fantastic friendly service, so finding one we loved in this area was great.
The Galleria reviews range considerably, and whether good or poor, there are a couple of recurring themes – the tired décor, which definitely does need updating, and the waiter. As is always the case on our visits, the gregarious owner, Lucio always comes over for a friendly chat, and if you speak Italian, it’s like talking to an old friend. The waitress was also very nice and really friendly, but whilst the waiter was polite, as others have said about him (and I can’t say it’s the same one), he really doesn’t exude the demeanour you expect of someone dealing with customers, and especially the conviviality Italians are famed for. Of course, some customers treat people in service roles as servants, but if you treat them well, they respond in kind, so maybe he suffered some bad customers but he nevertheless needs to lighten up.
We all chose from the 3-course set Sunday lunch at £23.95. My daughter and I had the mushroom ravioli, nice and thin but still with some bite, with a lovely pecorino sardo sauce, whilst my wife had the avocado, crabmeat, smoked salmon & prawns, which looked beautiful and tasted fresh and light.
My daughter had the Parmigiana Melanzane (basically baked aubergine and courgette with tomato sauce and mozzarella) as a main and will only have it from two places, either mine (taught to me by my wife’s Napolitan father) or La Galleria. My wife’s sea bass fillets were big, which meant I had to help eat them, and cooked perfectly and the pistachio gratin crumb really added something. Regardless of what side dishes come with our meals, we always have a big portion of the zucchini fritti as an extra. It should be impossible to ruin a steak, but many places manage to find a way, but as expected, mine was tasty and tender.
To finish, they both had the creamy light and tasty tiramisu, whilst I tried the Limoncello mousse cake, a soft cheesecake-like dessert with what tasted like ginger and honey, which was sharp and refreshing.
Now we are starting to get back to some normality, it won’t be too long before we return.

We had a wonderful night out at La Galleria. The service was exemplary and the food was wonderful. The sauce on the mussels, which we both had as a starter, was incredibly rich and delicious. My partner's lobster pasta was lovely and I was served the largest lemon sole I have ever seen, perfectly cooked. Neither of us had room for desert. We'll definitely be back next time we visit Woodstock.

Ate at La Galleria on a Thursday night (so no government discount) and the restaurant was fairly quiet. We were greeted warmly and given a choice of seating and the waiter explained the specials available which included mussels in a tomato/chilli sauce to start and a steak with blue cheese sauce for main. Couldn't fault the food or the service we received and we departed as very happy customers having consumed three courses each and a bottle of their very agreeable house red.

We had lunch at La Galleria on 8th September after we arrived to celebrate our wedding anniversary and visit Blenheim Palace. We were given a warm welcome by our server and given a lunch menu and chose to take a table outside as the weather was very warm. The food was of excellent quality and the lasagna did taste homemade. The starters and desserts were also very enjoyable. Our hotel also offered a ten percent discount on the ala carte menu. This restaurant would be good for couples or families.

Little question mark over our arrival as they had tried to confirm our booking and my husband hadn’t checked his phone, but we were seated quickly and it was dealt with efficiently by the Manager/Owner. The meal was delicious and all 4 of our party members were really pleased with our meal. We ranged from both Fish dishes to the pork and it was beautifully cooked and presented. Great value house wine and deserts to die for, my tiramisu was fabulous. For people saying the prices were high, this is not a brasserie, it’s not a bistro, it’s a restaurant and worth every penny. Beautiful linen and attention to detail so you get what you pay for! If your in Woodstock don’t hesitate, it a great dining experience ❤️❤️

In all honesty just awful. The man working was receptive to the criticism and didn't, in fairness to him, charge us for the food. The place is very dated both in concept and decor. Really poorly cooked food at quite frankly an extortionate price. Couldn’t recommend less. Couldn’t fault the service, unfortunate what they were serving!

Hi, I think it’s only fair to offer a fair and objective review of the restaurant. After reading the many reviews we booked for dinner and whilst on initial inspection ( though tired and dated) we decided to continue with our booking. Now let’s be honest, it’s dated, circa 1980,S but honest and “family value orientated” but I must continue. The menu looks refreshing, original, and most definitely not from a countrywide chain, which is its lustre, but if they could only deliver on what they offer it would be fantastic. Cutting to the chase, it’s dated, poor and to be honest a great shame as it could and should be so much better. When people spend their hard earned money they expect the service provider to deliver, so guys, pull your socks up and honour your heritage. ….. oh and by the way,don’t get complicated when you are brought to task.

Food was good but the waiter that served us ruined our experience. He was extremely rude. Not only to us but he was also extremely rude in front of us to one of his female colleagues. She tried to take our order because he was taking too long and he barked at her that it was his job to do that and stopped her from taking the food order. He continued to be unpleasant throughout our meal. We were there for lunch today around 1.30 to 3pm . I hope the owner of the restaurant takes note of this review and speaks to this waiter about his arrogant, rude, disrespectful and unprofessional attitude. The young woman who did try to take our order was lovely and very professional even after he barked at her. Hope you take note young man and either change your attitude or get a non customer facing job.

Please ignore "Laughing is offending" review below. We were there. The management were absolutely right in politely asking the ridiculous and excessively loud female guest with her affected laughing to have a little consideration for the rest of the room. When this selfish group left (with an unnecessary and sarcastic clap for the rest of us) we were able to enjoy the evening and the delicious food. A particular mention for the lovely waitress Alicia who served our table. Do visit La Galeria when you're in the area and rest assured the obnoxious diners won't be there.
