Best Italian and service, large portions, omg the soups are all amazing. My most very favorite place to go. Reminds me of the food in Lake Como Italy, the best I ever had. Mama Mia maybe cooking in the kitchen with all this talent :))) Cant wait to go again!!!!

Chicken Parm was good, large portions of chicken. I got the Veal vesuvio. Veal was flavorful and tender. Some of the potatoes were not fully cooked and still hard. Bread was crispy and fresh. Shrimp cocktail was good, but cocktail sauce needed more horseradish, not much flavor. I got the stuffed artichoke, nice and big, but way too much lemon. We got an order of meatballs to try. Meatballs were great, tasted like mom's Sunday meatballs, only larger. For desert we got the canoli. Filling was very good, wrapped in a nice thin crust drizzled with chocolate syrup. In their defense, it was Valentines Day and very busy. I would go back again, but probably skip the appetizers.

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.
