What people say, in short
Many visitors recommend Galleria Colonna, and a couple of them praise its paintings and beautiful art. One visitor calls it a personal favorite, while another found it uncrowded. The main caveat is that several visitors note limited opening days and times and the need to book tickets or reservations in advance, since it is still a private residence.
