    Medium chicken cutlet and bacon pizza

    Had Franco Gianni's pizza for takeout tonight, and it was fantastic pie. Got a large cheese and a medium chicken and bacon pizza. Both pies were cooked perfectly (including the crispy bacon and chicken cutlet on one) and with great flavor from the sauce and cheese. Crust was also crispy with a slight chew which I really enjoyed. I will be coming back very soon for more pizza, and have to try the dinners as well!

    This evening I stopped by Franko Gianni's restaurant and pizza. For starters, our waitress was very nice and speedy. It is family owned and you feel the vibes when you're inside the restaurant. It's a nice, small and cozy Italian restaurant. It's a little older but, I guess that's what makes it what it is. For a starter, we got their fried mozzarella. It comes with about 5 and a good portion of marinara dipping sauce. It had an amazing cheese pull. Better than most places! We also asked for some bread as well. It was a very fresh loaf and we were given enough butter. Lastly, we got the large mozzarella pizza which was just delicious. Crispy bottom, cheese has an authentic unique taste. It's greasy in a good way. Not too much. A very good pizza overall. The decorations for Christmas were still up, but I didn't notice until later. It's not overbearing though and gives it a nice touch especially with the lights . I hope to come again soon. It was a pleasure.

    View of the tables and chairs with new upholstery. But very old and worn decor that needs a major face lift

    I've been here many times before but many years ago. Locals remember that there was a big commercial expansion about 4-5 years ago and the restaurant got an outside makeover. However not much changed on the inside save new upholstery on booth and chair seats. ENTRANCE - like before no discernible host just a sign that says wait to be seated. AMBIANCE - this is a small combined take out pizza on left and sit down Restaurant the right. Still very old and very dated decor with the exception of new seat coverings. Not many tables about a dozen or so and stacked like an old brooklyn Railroad flat if you know what I mean. WAITRESS - what a darling professional, engaging, talkative, funny and genuine. Very attentive and a top rate personality. This part gets 5 stars MENU - not large at all and there is a chalk board with 3 specials of the day. FOOD - definitely not what it used to be from an entree perspective. But stepping back. Bread was super market style but heated a bit in the pizza oven a nice touch. Didn't get any appetizers but for entree's the linguine and white clam sauce was not good. Boxed pasta and canned clams in a thick sauce. Not like years ago when you got a few real clams in a shell. The gluten free pasta was not bad but the gluten free meatballs were not fresh and commercially sourced. Tried the House homemade meat balls and they were good and fresh SALAD - these were very good and very fresh. Choice of and quality of dressings were OK. PORTIONS - everything came out of the kitchen in large volumes. The portion sizes were immense compared to standard sizes. With prices low a great value for OK food. VINO - for third tier choices the Cabernet wasn't horrible at all and only $6 PRICE - this is what makes this 3 stars. Two people and 2 drinks with large portions and tax came to $46 that's $ or $$ at most. I left an extra $10 tip for a great waitress.

    Linguine w/ White Clam Sauce

    Franco Gianni's has been our go to restaurant for all of the time we have lived in Trumbull since we moved here in 1994. I have tried most of the items in the menu and the Linguine and White Clam Sauce is definitely one I have had but it was years ago. Honestly? It wasn't great so imagine my excitement when I decided to try it again tonight because I got a wonderful surprise. I wish I had taken a picture before I dug into it so you could see the heap of clams and garlic! The sauce has enough salt to compliment plus a nice hit of white wine to round it all off. Last time I had to add salt and garlic to give it some life. This time, the only thing I added was red pepper flakes. Well done!

    Surprise party!

    I don't know why I don't order from them more often. Had their pizza earlier and it was so good. I've always enjoyed their food so don't ask me why I don't come here more. I mean their pizzas are more then good, they are really tasty. Got takeout with two friends and a family member tonight. We got three Pies. One was White Clam, One was plain and one was half bacon and half sausage. A very cool thing happened. Four out of four of us enjoyed our meal. More than enjoyed it. We loved it. It's a cozy little spot and those expecting a huge multi room eatery will be let down as it is nothing like that. It exudes coziness and warmth. I am making a note to order from here more often as their pizzas are off the charts good and friends and family alike, everyone seems to really enjoy it. It is affordable, with great service and great pizza pies. (I have not had anything here but their pizza.) Highly recommended for some really tasty food. UPDATE: Had a party here for my dad. The staff were warm and wonderful and really helped make it what it was. This is my dad's favorite place..bar none. I also love it. I used to only get takeout but then we started eating there and fell in love with this little gem of a place with its warm atmosphere, homemade tasting food and comfy booths. The party was lovely and everyone enjoyed themselves. I can not recommend this place enough. For their food, their pizza and dinners and the warmth of the staff they get all the stars! Stop and and try them for yourself!

    It's been a few years since we've dined here. We chose to eat outside. Not much has changed...very good food with reasonable prices. And the portions are huge. They also have a kids menu. I had the chicken marinara which was delicious. Opted for broccoli with garlic and oil instead of pasta. Wife had the chicken parm which she was said was very good. Kids had pasta and meatballs. Service is friendly. I look forward to out next visit.

    So so good! Real family style, Italian food. Chicken cutlets were cooked perfect and the calamari was cooked just right, not chewy at all!

    Customer service is complete ass, they are very rude and disrespectful. I do not recommend going…read morehere!

    I used to love this place, great beer selection. It became the only shop my wife & I would buy beer…read morefrom. We love higher end IPA & DIPA. Every once in a while we would get a four pack of a beer that we buy often and the taste would be slightly off. I alway attributed this to the way it was shipped. Hot/cold trucks. This has happened with a few of our regular beers like Beer'd Dogs & Boats & King Sue as well as a couple others. When I went in early this AM I found out why, they had stocked the shelves with beers from the cooler! They were actually sweating there on the shelf. I don't know about you, But when I'm paying 16-22$ a FOUR pack. I expect the place I'm buying it from to treat it with respect. When I checked out (no beer! Just booze) I had mentioned it to somebody up front. I was laughed at and told it's a myth that beer chemistry changes when it goes from cold to hot them back to cold. COME ON GUYS!! I don't even let that happen at my house!!! And a liquor store saying that is shocking! For example, Toppling Goliath has a beer KIng Sue. When you go to Glenro it is sold from boxes off the floor. Not chilled. It says on the box it is a live beer keep cool. I was told by the guys at Glenro that is BS they just write it to get cooler space. And they receive the beer warm. If you call the brewery they will tell you it has active yeast in it so if it's temp gets higher than 73 or so the yeast will die and change the flavor. They ship all their King Sue out cold & expect it to stay cold until you buy it. When I am buying good beer, I want it to taste the way it was brewed to taste. Not the way Glenro wants it to taste.

    I come here quite a bit but my bad for my first review…read more WINE SELECTION- speaking for vino they have a better variety than most local spots. Their higher end California choices are very good and for specific varieties like Cabernet or merlot (not my favorite but ok as as small %) there are choices. OTHER BEVERAGES- they have pretty much everything from beer to scotch. SERVICE- if you are dealing with the owners or family members you will find them most helpful and the uncle and nephew are fairly knowledgeable PRICES- it's Trumbull and high rent so prices are not rock bottom I'd say $$$ rather than $$ but there are enough options in the $$ range if stressed for cash VIRUS- they have a really cool system in place to pre-order safely. You wait outside and they do curbside in a way that minimizes contact but is still convenient.

    I have never bought anything from this store. I am rating them a 4 because they sponsored a wine…read moretasting and cheese event I attended and we had a great time. There was a raffle and lots of wines to choose from as well as plenty of cheese and hors d'oeuvres. There was music and everyone had a really fun time. This was awhile ago but I, being the Yelper I am was looking around Yelp and saw this Liquor Store. Figured I'd write a review. I do not know about buying from the store but we really enjoyed the Wine and Cheese event.
