Cafe Galleria

Savoring fine Italian fare in a life-size snow globe sounds like something from a fairy tale, but it's a reality in Midway, Utah!

The Cafe Galleria offers intimate meals in what they call Alpenglobe dining areas. These unique structures are glass-encased, heated, and well-lit for an unforgettable dining experience. 

Aside from the Alpenglobes, there's the cafe built in 1898 and recently renovated in 2020. Cafe Galleria serves what they call "rustic Italian" and is easy to find on Midway's Main Street. 

The establishment's dedication to quality and tradition began with its founder, Michael Donahue, who was inspired by his travels through Italy. He was particularly taken by the wood-fired pizzas in the small, family-owned pizzerias that dot the Italian countryside. 

With a desire to replicate that experience stateside, he opened Cafe Galleria, and the rest, as they say, is mouthwatering history.

As you can tell, this isn't your average pizza joint. The attention to detail is evident in every slice. The dough is hand-stretched, topped with locally sourced ingredients, and baked perfectly in their wood-fired oven. 

Beyond pizza, they offer traditional fares like lasagna, Caprese salad, and twists on steaks, salmon, and chicken. 

Whether you dine in an Alpenglobe or the quaint cottage, Cafe Galleria takes pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere for its patrons. And in the summer, dine al fresco under the twinkling lights of their beautiful patio. 

Cafe Galleria brings a slice of the Italian countryside to the Heber City area. This is where friends, family, and foodies come to enjoy a meal crafted with love and served with care.
