The Gallo family is getting reacquainted with Clintonville. Nick Gallo and his cousin, Larry Gallo, are opening Gallo’s on High at 4215 N. High St., offering a mix of modern American and Italian fare. The family’s neighborhood history dates back to GiAntonio’s Bakery, owned by Nick’s grandfather, Nick GiAntonio.

“It’s sort of a homecoming for our family,” Nick Gallo said. GiAntonio's space, at 2885 N. High St. was later taken over by the original Mozart’s Bakery and Piano Café. Both Nick and his brother, Tommy Gallo, along with Larry, are partners in Gallo’s Tap Room (one each in Powell and Northwest Columbus), long known for well-prepared tavern fare and New York-style pizza.
