" A unique experience that stands out in Cedar Rapids! The Chicago-style hot dog was a winner, but the Italian beef stole the show! It's hard to find quality places like this, and they deliver. I enjoyed my visit and can't wait to return with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this place based on the hype, but my beef sandwich was pretty dry, and the service was lacking. I overheard the staff chatting instead of focusing on the customers. But the portions were good, and it has potential. I'll give it another chance, but I expect more next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Gianna's for lunch and ordered the full dip Italian beef. While the sandwich was flavorful, I expected a bit more meat for the price I paid. The staff were friendly but it took a little while to get my food, even though there weren't many customers. The atmosphere was fine but could use more warmth. " (*Curated Review*)
