Diana continues to be an incredible server & am always treated with the best customer service when I'm sat in her section. Although all of your servers are incredible, I find myself being sat in her section most often. Keep up the amazing customer service, the world needs more of it.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the suburbs. Both locations are amazing and the staff at both have been there for a long time so they are all very knowledgeable and helpful. The food is amazing and made to order so everything is fresh and taste like mom’s old recipes.

Every time we head to Gianni's for dinner, we have a great meal. I always order the make your own pasta and am never disappointed. I often get broccoli and it's constantly cooked perfectly. The diablo sauce is spicy and delicious! Soup or salad is included with your entree. The minestrone is tasty and I love that they offer creamy garlic as a salad dressing choice. The desserts are huge and the layered chocolate cake and tiramisu are a favorite. The drink menu is appealing. Last time we went, I had a seasonal cocktail that went down a little too well! Gianni's never disappoints!

I've eaten in and picked up to go. All food was excellent. Food served quickly. Staff was always excellent. I like that Giannis has seasonal dishes. Oysters eaten in restaurant were fresh and icy cold.

This is usually our go-to when we are in town, so we booked my husbands bday dinner here. Service was so slow, a few of us got the same dish and my brother in laws looked half portioned. My husband was wearing a birthday badge ( I made him) and the server never mentioned it or asked him if he wanted a birthday dessert. She also didn’t split the check 3 ways. Overall, disappointed. We even give friends gift cards to go there.

I really wanted to leave an excellent review! My husband and I had dinner here to celebrate our nephew’s birthday. Everyone had been asking if I’d tried this restaurant before, and I finally did — I’m so glad I did!
The service was exceptional. Lia was our waitress, and she was amazingly sweet and provided wonderful service. The food was absolutely delicious — I even joked that I loved the water!
We also spoke with the manager on duty (I didn’t catch his name) to personally share our gratitude for the outstanding food and service. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish.
I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be going back to enjoy it again!

Go here often so I recommended it to my friend to celebrate his wife’s 80’ birthday, when I made the reservation on-line there was a space for special occasions and I wrote that it was a special birthday Well guess what you blew it she didn’t get a happy birthday wish or a desert, I mentioned to our lovely server and she apologized because she didn’t know about it, but offered a desert It was to late and we were leaving but I thanked her

I'm a gnocchi guy and that's my go to. However, if they have a Risotto special that looks good, I'm all over it. By far the best Italian I have had, and I'm a foodie.

We always get a very friendly welcome from the people working the hostess stand. The bar staff are friendly and never keep you waiting for a drink. The food is consistently excellent. Angie and Laurie are the best servers ever!!!
