Wonderful place...so kind and the food was very Italian in the best way. The team was so accommodating and fun. We will be back. Grazie Mille

We had the loveliest time at Giano--perfect neighborhood vibe, excellent food, warm service. Cannot wait to make it a regular spot for us.

My husband and I discovered Giano right before our trip to Milan and Sardinia. This is our go-to now whenever we miss Italy or just want to have a great meal in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Gratzie Mille, Roberta and your friendly team! Our friends loved you all, too! See you again soon!

Amazing food, truffle pasta was fantastic and the tiramisu was fluffy, creamy and delicious!

this food reminded me of the service, quality and taste of Italy. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and authentic, if you can’t, then I firmly believe you’re too Americanized and used to the most basic and bare ingredients and sugar in our foods here. This place is beyond delicious and the service is exceptional. This place is well priced for what you get in my humble opinion. The carpaccio was thinly sliced and perfectly cured with shaved Parmesan atop ($19) and the Spaghetti and meatballs was incredibly flavourful ($23). Yes, they serve you bread in plain paper bags and plain evoo literally very similarly to Italy. I’ll be back!!

Like Lisa Singer said in another review, I have ZERO idea how this place would get over 3 stars anywhere but especially New York City. Many jarred sauces are better than what we had here - we were asking ourselves if this was frozen Costco food. The service was lacking, certainly not polite save for the hostess at the front.

We used to live in NYC full-time, and now that we are in Texas, every return trip to NY must include a visit to Giano. All pasta is freshly made, and you immediately taste it. Amazing food quality and service. The proprietor talks to you like you are his long-lost friend. The atmosphere is quaint and pleasant, so if you are looking for a bougie place, this isn't it. Highly recommended!

Tremendous food, phenomenal tiramisu, amazing staff, this place has everything I love about a restaurant.
Not at all pretentious and the perfect place to hang out with your loved ones with a plate a pasta and a bottle of wine.
