Had high expectations due to the review, but very disappointed. We ordered Portebella Mushroom with Gonzalla Cheese as appetizer, Lobster and crab Rivioli in Pesto sauce and Halibut. Halibut was OK but both the mushroom and Rivioli were covered with heavy creamy sauce, which made it hard to taste the flavor of the food itself. It is definitely Americanized Italian, not authentic at all.

I had Veal Saltimboca and my girlfriend had Chicken Francisco. Both were excellent!! We enjoyed a gratis dessert for my birthday, also excellent. I've never been disappointed at Gianfrancos, it is always the BEST.

The food was for the most part was good. This was the 3rd or 4th time we have eaten here and this visit fell a bit short of previous experiences. I believe the 3 cheese sauce for our gnocchi was “broken” and the gnocchi was overcooked. The wait staff also seemed a bit short-handed.

The BEST Italian restaurant I’ve experienced in Washington state! The serving sizes were enough to feed two people so plan for left overs! The Tiramisu was decadent and smooth without the over powering of coffee! ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!
