About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
This is the story of Paolo and Matteo, two guys from Milano who had an idea. Let's take the heart of our tradition and fuse it with the exciting innovations happening in Italian cooking, they said. Inspired by the Roman deity Janus who looked to the future as well as the past, Giano respects tradition and embraces the future. We like to think of our little corner in the east village as quite special, and hope you will too.

Please call us if you are running later than 10 minutes after your reservation time. We may contact you about this reservation, so please ensure your email and phone number are up to date.
Please know that we have a grace period (15 min) .
All of our outdoor seating have heaters for your dining comfort but we ask that you dress accordingly for a New York winter.

    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!
