My wife and I had a wonderful time celebrating Valentine's day at Gianni's. We were seated in a booth, which made for a more intimate evening and easy conversation. The service and food were fantastic. We felt relaxed and not rushed to complete our meals. We couldn't have imaged a better dining experience on a very popular holiday for couples.

We fully enjoyed out time dining at Gianni's. Our server, Michael, was engaging, attentive and quite pleasant. Our food was fabulous! We do still miss the table-side spun salad. It was something that always kept us coming back. Hopefully, they reinstate it.

The food and ambiance are always top notch. Gianni's is a great place for a "fancy dinner out," a business dinner, or even a more casual "grab something to eat. The drinks are fun, the desserts are top notch and the steaks (NY Strip) and lobster tail (a gigantic 20 oz!) were amazing. My only "critique" would be the young lady with the iPad keeping an eye on tables to (I am assuming) to validate when they might be able to turn the tables, walked by and "examined" our progress roughly 20-30 times in the 90+ minutes we were there. She was not subtle. Other than that, awesome evening!

It's a very expensive restaurant with most everything featured a la carte, which makes in more expensive; however, the food is great! I had one of the best steaks in my life! This is definitely a place for special occasions: birthdays, anniversaries, wonderful date nights, office retirements/celebrations.

The folks at Giannis really rolled out the red carpet for our anniversary. They really took the fact that we selected them as our restaurant for this evening. The food was fantastic, wine was very good and the Key Lime Pie was unbelievable.
