I had Chicken Piccata. It was exactly how I love to have it prepared (no breading). The lemony sauce was so perfect, I almost asked for a straw to get it all! (I didn't). Service was timely and made us comfortable. From the the Server to the busers. (Sp?) The space is quite compact. No one was jostled but it was a bit noisy for us. None-the-less, I highly recommend Giannis. Thanks for an excellent dining experience!

Took some friends there for the first time....food was not up to par....who can ruin a dish of cavatelli ...the sauce burnt and flavorless. Hubby and I were embarrassed since we took our friends. Napoleon dish covered and smothered in unnecessary sauce...definitely not going back.

I usually like it here, but the last visit was just really disappointing. The food was awful especially for the cost. No flavor, over done. Way expensive for what we received. I will be crossing this one off the list. Too many other options for more consistency.

Gianni's is some of the best Italian meals I've had. The portions are huge and delicious. I had the chicken piccata and I love it with lots of lemon and capers. It was so delicious. Our waiter was wonderful. Didn't rush us and told us to put the menus on the table in the corner and that would be his queue that we are ready to order. Will definitely be back many times.

Wow - what a fantastic experience this Valentine’s Day! BEST Alfredo we’ve ever had, and the steak/fish/broccoli were cooked to perfection. Excellent service also. Can’t wait to try this place again!

We have been to Gianni's multiple times. I have been very happy with the majority of my meals. Last night I tried the eggplant Parmesan. I do not think it had a lot of flavor. And I know this will sound odd, but I've had eggplant Parmesan a lot at other places. And they usually break up the eggplant with a layer of cheese or add additional breading. We will continue to go to Gianni's as we've been very happy in the past.

First, always make a reservation, because there is absolutely nowhere to wait for a table. The room is very small and intimate, although the tables are very close to each other. The food is great. Never been disappointed. I usually order the Chicken Marsala and my wife the Chicken Picatta. The soup, minestrone, or the side salad that accompany the entrees are also excellent. The only problem we encountered this last visit was that we felt very rushed so they could turn the table. There were a couple of open tables,as we eat pretty early, so I don't see what the rush was by our waitress, who I think is also one of the owners.

A very nice restaurant. Food was very good. Salmon was excellent; perfectly cooked and seasoned and a large portion. Service was exemplary. We also had the tiramisu for dessert and that too was very tasty - one dessert was enough for two. We'll be back.

We were grateful for a place to grab a real meal later last night. Our server, Kyle, deserves special mention because he took care of us with a big smile and kindness. He was detail oriented,timely, and patient with us talking about the menu. Thanks Kyle!Overall the food was tasty. The bread, olive oil and cheese is always a nice start. The shrimp parmigiana was something new. Unfortunately the breading was falling off the shrimp and the tails were hidden underneath. I would definitely prefer the tails to be visible especially on breaded shrimp. But the minestrone, clam linguine, and the vodka sauce were delicious. The tiramisu was also great especially because it didn't have a lot of sugar added (right up my alley).Atmosphere is 3.5 and probably would of been a 5 if they weren't taking the Christmas decorations down around us the whole meal. We didn't necessarily care but it wasn't super professional and somewhat noisy.Would still go back for another meal! Thanks!

Our server Diane was absolutely amazing. She recommended great entrees and would check up on us to see if we needed anything. We had one guess that was running late and she made sure that he got warm food when he arrived. The food was absolutely amazing. Will definitely come here again. My only comment is that we had a 7:00 reservation and it took 30 minutes to see us. I realized the restaurant was busy. But I feel 30 minutes was a little too long for someone who had reservations.

What an awful night. Came here to drink a beer, watch the game and possibly grab some food on a Saturday night. The place was busy, as expected so I went ahead and sat at the bar but suddenly an old lady grabbed my shoulder and asked me to get off the chair because she had someone coming.. yet there was plenty of sitting on the other side so I told her, “ hey I’m about to order a beer “ and she snapped and told me to get out. I have no idea if she’s mentally challenged but it was so embarrassing… people at the bar and ever her staff were just starring at her. The guy next to me was even like, “well it’s only two us, he can stay there.” And she was like , “no! Go outside”. Didn’t get to try any food due to this lunatic so just watch out for the old lady up front
