- KKimberlyWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur waiter Trey was an added bonus to our experience at this restaurant. We were visiting Galveston for the first time and of course eating at Gaido's was a first. He waa knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant, humorous and gave his honest opinion about some of the dinner choices we made. We would definitely return. The food was amazing I had the seafood pasta and the portion was very filling and the key lime cheesecake was magnificent!! The mojito, margarita and voodoo were all liquericious!!!

- RRoyHouston •26 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoRudy & Paco Restaurant & Bar is a place to go when you want calm ambience and well-prepared food. Most of the clientele seems to take seriously the business-casual dress code, which has great support from the best-dressed service staff that one can find in this vicinity. The restaurant's location adjacent to the 1894 Opera House is a setting for an interesting outing, whether for stand-alone dining or in preparation for other nearby entertainment activity.More infoRudy & Paco Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Galveston•4.9
- RRonSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe made dinner reservations for 3:45pm and were promptly seated. Very good time as restaurant had a calming ambience before the crowds. Nice place with multiple seating areas from front to back. We were seated in Dinning Room which is 1/2 through the restaurant. We started with their Appetizer Platter & bottle of Italian red wine (Delacorte). Of course it was a delicious blend that our waiter Nathan said was popular with guests. For Entrees we enjoyed their Scallops (including a selection of local fish from the Gulf), and Lasagna Bologne. They were both hot and delicious. Of course everything about the dining out experience is strongly influenced by the staff employed, and our Server Nathan was efficient, knowledgeable, friendly & actually appeared to enjoy working there! We’d definitely return next time - this place is a welcome alternative from our “rushed” dining experiences back home in San Diego.More infoRiondo's RistorantePrice: Moderate• Italian• Galveston•4.7

9 Burgers You Must Try In Miami
There’s something about a nice juicy burger that makes it the perfect craveable dish — maybe because it’s a handheld meal that’s ideal for curing ailments like extreme hunger and hangovers. With so many combinations from meat to cheese to toppings and style of bun, no two burgers are the same — and nor should they be. Fortunately, in the Magic City there’s no shortage of delicious, mouthwatering burgers to sink your teeth into. From secret sauces to secret locations there’s always a new burger to discover. Here are nine Miami burgers to put on your to-do list immediately.
Discover Galveston
On the small island of Galveston, most areas are geared toward tourism. That said, you'll find permanent locals enjoying fresh gulf shrimp, locally sourced steaks, or stuffed crab side-by-side with island visitors. Seawall dining, within walking distance of the surf, is generally more casual. More formal dining is available downtown. Many of the restaurants are owned and operated by second generation Galveston families, and the general atmosphere is open and welcome. As you would expect, the majority of eateries emphasize seafood that has been harvested from the surrounding gulf, although there are some Italian and even Greek restaurants sprinkled among the shrimp and lobster establishments.
