    I've eaten in and picked up to go. All food was excellent. Food served quickly. Staff was always excellent. I like that Giannis has seasonal dishes. Oysters eaten in restaurant were fresh and icy cold.

    This is usually our go-to when we are in town, so we booked my husbands bday dinner here. Service was so slow, a few of us got the same dish and my brother in laws looked half portioned. My husband was wearing a birthday badge ( I made him) and the server never mentioned it or asked him if he wanted a birthday dessert. She also didn’t split the check 3 ways. Overall, disappointed. We even give friends gift cards to go there.

    I really wanted to leave an excellent review! My husband and I had dinner here to celebrate our nephew’s birthday. Everyone had been asking if I’d tried this restaurant before, and I finally did — I’m so glad I did! The service was exceptional. Lia was our waitress, and she was amazingly sweet and provided wonderful service. The food was absolutely delicious — I even joked that I loved the water! We also spoke with the manager on duty (I didn’t catch his name) to personally share our gratitude for the outstanding food and service. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be going back to enjoy it again!

    Go here often so I recommended it to my friend to celebrate his wife’s 80’ birthday, when I made the reservation on-line there was a space for special occasions and I wrote that it was a special birthday Well guess what you blew it she didn’t get a happy birthday wish or a desert, I mentioned to our lovely server and she apologized because she didn’t know about it, but offered a desert It was to late and we were leaving but I thanked her

    I'm a gnocchi guy and that's my go to. However, if they have a Risotto special that looks good, I'm all over it. By far the best Italian I have had, and I'm a foodie.
