    I’m usually not one to go out on holidays. But I must say that Easter brunch at Gianni’s was wonderful. They had quite a few breakfast/dinner items to choose from. This included everything from special made omelettes to prime rib. Delicious salads, desserts, Side dishes, and Italian specialties. They also had fresh shrimp, fried shrimp, including many breakfast and dinner options.Desserts included carrot cake, chocolate cake, fresh cannolis, fruit, salad, etc. Not once did I encounter an empty tray. They kept bringing out fresh food during the entire time we were there. Service was excellent. Price was what to be expected for Easter Sunday brunch. I liked that it was by reservation only. They had three seatings during the day. So once we arrived, we were able to be seated immediately. cannolis, fruit, salad, etc. I can definitely recommend Gianni‘s for a wonderful meal

    We had Easter brunch at Gianni's Cafe today and it was outstanding. They had prime rib and ham carving stations along with multiple pasta and Seafood options. Food was really good, constantly brought out fresh, and the price was ridiculously reasonable for Easter brunch. We eat dinner they're frequently, and they have never let us down a single time. I highly recommend Gianni's Cafe for lunch or dinner anytime!

    Gianni’s is a small venue and tables are very close to each other. Noise level is high. Rotolo and chicken piccata were just OK at best and therefore over-priced. Service was excellent. That being said, the venue may be worth another chance but I would just as well wait a while.

    My group of 4 enjoyed their fabulous Italian Cuisine!!! They all shared, they’ve never had such an outstanding experience with their chosen cuisine. They all shared they will visit again real soon!!! Quality of food, friendly staff, and amazing choices that included with a salad or soup. Soup choices (3) were all outstanding and the homemade garlic dressing fabulous! The bread with their amazing Garlic, EVOO, and Basil, Amazing!!!🤩

    The look and feel of a good, old-fashioned neighborhood Italian restaurant. Excellent food and outstanding service. A wide selection of Italian dishes; pasta, veal, chicken, seafood, etc. Appetizers and desserts are also excellent, although healthy portions of entrees will most assuredly satisfy the appetite. Highly recommend this restaurant for a great Italian experience.

    Very good food & service but restaurant & bar area is small. People waiting for tables are standing right on top of you. Also very loud, hard to converse.

    It was a 75th birthday party and we were treated like we own the place. The waitress was extremely nice took care of everyone's needs we had a party of seven and as far as the party lady was concerned this is her favorite place to come and her sisters and definitely one of mine. The portions are large and the food is excellent and the drinks are quite good also. Take a chance you should have a great time. When it's packed just before warned it can be a little bit loud at times. But the food makes up for all of that.
