" My friends and I stopped by for a late lunch, and we were pleasantly surprised! The Italian beef sandwiches were packed with flavor. I loved that they had authentic Vienna beef. The service was quick, and the place was nice and clean. We are definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I appreciate the authenticity of Gianna's! The Italian beef is nearly identical to what you'd find in Chicago, and the ambiance is inviting. Staff are consistently friendly, always ready to offer recommendations. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during lunchtime rush, but it's worth it. Every time I visit, I feel like I'm having a slice of home. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gianna's has great potential but offers an experience that's hit or miss. The food itself is delicious when prepared well, but I've had instances when things were just not cooked as they should have been. The staff is usually friendly, but during peak hours, they seem overwhelmed. I hope they improve their efficiency. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic vibe that feels lively! The service has been great each time I've visited. The food is flavorful and true to Chicago. I love the atmosphere, but wish they had more indoor seating during peak hours. I will definitely keep coming. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just wanted to share how refreshing it is to find food that tastes so authentic. You can clearly taste the quality ingredients in the Italian beef sandwich. However, the service was a little slow, which is why I'm rating it a bit lower. That said, I will still be returning to enjoy the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Gianna's and was blown away by how authentic the Italian beef sandwich tasted! It reminded me of home. The service was also impeccable—friendly and efficient. The fries? Perfectly crispy and cooked just right. I can’t wait to return and try other dishes on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
