" Giannini’s has become a Friday night staple for my family. The meals are hearty, and we always leave with leftovers! I love their approach to Italian dining. The lasagna is my favorite and tastes homemade, and portions are more than sufficient. One of my children always orders their soup, which is consistently delicious. The servers are friendly, but sometimes they seem overwhelmed during busy hours. If you are looking for generous helpings and classic flavors, this is a spot to visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Giannini’s last night and was impressed by the family-centered atmosphere. We did, however, find the service slightly lacking as we waited quite a while for our main courses to arrive. Our starters were excellent! The bruschetta was fresh, and the polenta board was a fun addition. My main dish was the veal parmigiana, which was tasty, albeit slightly overcooked. The overall experience was lovely, but there’s room for improvement in timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished dining at Giannini's and it was absolutely fantastic! The environment felt very inviting with classic Italian decor, and I was pleasantly surprised by the complimentary bread and salad! The homemade sauces were delectable. I savored the ravioli, which was filled generously and bursting with flavor. My only complaint would be that I found the service a bit sluggish; however, the staff was kind and attentive when they came by. It’s definitely a gem in this town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Giannini's Italian Dinners left me wanting more! The decor was cute and gave me an old-world vibe that I loved. However, I did have mixed feelings about the food. The meatballs were flavorful, but the marinara sauce seemed underwhelming. The portions were generous, which was great, yet the service left something to be desired. It took quite a while for our drinks to arrive, and everything felt a bit rushed when it finally came. I appreciate the attempt for authenticity but felt they could elevate the dish recipes a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hey there fellow foodies! I just had to share my wonderful experience at Giannini’s. We ordered the full course and were amazed at the quantity! The three of us couldn’t even finish the food. The best part was the chicken marsala, which was cooked to perfection. The ambiance was cozy, reminiscent of an Italian home. The waitstaff was attentive, but I’d recommend a little more speed. Regardless, I can’t wait to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a true Italian experience, look no further than Giannini’s! The atmosphere is superb, making you feel like you’re in a charming Italian bistro. The service was excellent and prompt, and the food was truly delightful. I particularly enjoyed the caprese salad, which tasted fresh and flavorful. For the main, I had the ravioli, which was superb—filled with ricotta and served in a rich sauce. Perfect dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a good Italian place and came across Giannini's. The service was quite good when we arrived, and the place had a nice family vibe. I ordered the shrimp scampi, thinking it would be delightful, but it fell short. The shrimp tasted frozen and the dish lacked flavor. On the bright side, the minestrone soup was delicious! I also appreciated the complimentary bread. Overall, I think I caught them on an off day, but I am curious about trying a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)
