Amazing food all dinners served with soup or salad and a side! Very generous portions and tasted amazing ! Service prompt and super sweet!

A wonderful find with a real Italian waitress. Appetizers of cold antipasto and friend mozzarella were excellent. Our group had: eggplant paremigiana, veal Francaise (which my companion said was the best she's had), and I had Calamari over linguini with a wonderful red sauce. Gelato for dessert, which was totally old-world. Excellent and friendly service. Good wine list. This is a winner.

Worst carbonara I’ve ever had if you could even call it that. More like butter noodles with fatty bacon. Meatball sub had 3 tiny meatballs. Stingy portions and overpriced. Owner is rude

The food is pretty good if you can get any. I've gone in once and had a good meal. Twice I have called to order before 8 pm and am told they are closed. The first time was 7:30, the second was 7:45. Time on Google has it as 9 pm. Too bad cause it probably would've been good, but Fool me once my bad, fool me twice you wrong, there won't be a third.

From the moment I walked in , I was greated with a smile and a welcoming feeling, to the beautiful Italian music on a crisp sound system delightful to the ear and a subtle yet elegant interior design. I started with a glass of merlo with thier bread and butter and the chicken soup , perfect portion and great taste with the wine and soup. For my entree I went with a simple ravioli that came with a salad with thier house vinegarette. Soooooooooooooooo good!!!! I 💯 percent recommend this establishment for a lunch or dinner!

We received a gift card to Gianni’s and were so excited to go. When we arrived, they appeared to be closing (early) so we called to check. The person answering the phone greeted with “Cutie Patootie’s House of Beauties”. I asked if it was Giovanni’s and she replied with a snark that it was. She then confirmed they were closed. That alone told me that they were not a restaurant I wanted to trust to provide me with a good meal and service. Truly sad that we were treated with such unprofessionalism and lack of kindness.

Love this restaurant. All of the Italian food is delicious. Love the beef braciole when they have it. Definitely should try this restaurant out.

Good marrow! Gianni please reconsider thy opening times and closing times. I do lack mine dinner at 4 and thou are never at the business to open it up for me. Thou food is most mediocre and because of this I grant doth 3 stars

First time trying this place.Went there craving beef tips in marsala sauce, but they didn't have tips (not their fault, they were just opening for the day and the meat shipment was running late), so we substituted with a regular steak with the same sauce.The interior is small but more beautiful than I expected with a nice atmosphere.My server was a lovely woman, the table bread was excellent, my steak was a bit thin, but cooked perfectly and the sauce more than made up for it (soooooo good), and for the price I was pleased.I'll definitely be going back in the future.

We haven’t been to Gianni’s for a very long time, but returned tonight. It’s time to make this one of our regular outings again. The food and service both are top shelf!!! It was great to see a hostess we recognized from “way back when”. The chef has a knack for food preparation and seasoning, and I’m sure you’ll develop a list of favorites. Give this place a shot.
