“Great spot for tasty Italian. I have a very high bar - set by my Sicilian mother. Nary a place I've been to in CA has moved me. Giana's may have changed that. Ordered the shirt rib. The meat was more cooked than my liking, but it completely over delivered: the meat was excellent in taste and flavor, the pasta silky and beautifully cooked (I'm not an al dente loser), and the sauce was superlative. The portion was large and the price very reasonable. Drink pour could be bigger, but small glasses seems to be their shtick.
But, overall, an excellent experience. Will return.“
