    Penna Alla Vodka
    Masumi T.

    Came here after visiting Untermyer Gardens around 4pm. The restaurant looked fancy with white tablecloths, and there was a sign saying jackets are required--I assumed that was for dinner service, but I asked just in case since we were all in T-shirts and leisurewear. The staff reassured us that we were fine, and despite our casual attire, the service was absolutely top-notch. They were incredibly attentive--filling our water glasses frequently and clearing empty plates right away. Without us even asking, they brought my son a plastic cup with water and a straw, which was such a thoughtful touch. I was starving, so I really appreciated how quickly the food came out, starting with a basket of bread and garlicy olives. We ordered the calamari (coated in cornmeal, which even my bread-loving 2-year-old ate--win!), Margherita pizza, and penne alla vodka. Way too much food for two adults and a toddler, but everything was delicious. Food gets a solid 4 stars, but the exceptional service bumps this experience up to 5. It really made an impression. I'll definitely be back next time I visit Untermyer.

    Came to Gianna's today for Friday night dinner without a reservation and did not have any issues getting seated. There is a pretty sizable parking lot for the plaza it's in so getting parking was not hard at all. The restaurant was very spacious, and our waiter was very nice. The menu is has many different categories and we got a pizza, a pasta dish and a chicken dish, and a side. Everything was pretty good, the pizza was very thin, one of the thinnest I've ever had actually, quite unique. My clam sauce pasta was pretty pleasant, side was good. The chicken dish was sort of a stir fry with chicken pieces, peppers, potatoes, and sausage. Everything was decent and they had many drink options, we got the muscato, which was very delicious. However, the main course took a very long time to come out, much longer than expected. Overall, nothing stood out as extraordinary, but a nice local Italian place with a nice vibe.

    Strawberry gelato

    Came here & caught up with a friend for dinner. The food was delicious! Loved the vibes. The only thing was the service was very, very slow. We waited a very long time for appetizers, entrees, and the desserts. We had calamari to start which was crispy & tasty. I had a chicken teriyaki special with risotto, which was delicious. Loved the sauce. I had a strawberry gelato for dessert and my friend got this Nutella banana pie, which were both tasty!

    The bread and olives that come with a meal

    Great place where you wouldn't expect. I had a great martini before dinner. The Cesar salad was great, make sure to ask for anchovies! The linguini and red clam was fantastic. The clams were soft and not chewy. The pasta was toothsome and sauce was perfect.,the bread and olives that come with dinner were great. I will come back if in the area.

    In town for work and everyone that I have spoken with tells me it's great. Well, I was not disappointed. I came on a quiet, slow night which allowed me to relax and take it in. I started with the Burrata which is a favorite of mine. A generous size ball of burrata with tomatoes, basil, roasted peppers. The balsamic was a little heavy but soft. Followed that up with the pappardelle and short ribs ragu paired with a Chianti. The portion was generous enough to have leftovers. A nice locals gem.

    Chicken Marsala
    David D.

    This has become our "place to go" over the past few months. Well prepared and generously plated food, welcoming atmosphere, friendly and respectful service and a well stocked bar, all contributed to that conclusion. Recently I discovered the Codfish Marechiara dish. Similar to the Zuppa Di Pesce but without the pasta. Lots of shell fish on Tom of a chunk of cod fish, in a red sauce. Delicious! The Honey likes the Chicken Marsala - generously flavored with the Marsala wine (as you'd expect). And there is always the dessert, to top off a good dinner. We're definitely coming back.

    the entrance to a restaurant

    Okay so Friday and I'm wondering what to feed the wife and kids. I immediately thought of this place for pizza. But not your avg pizza, the thin sliced crunchy type. So I ordered pickup. Guy on the phone was accommodating and nice enough while placing my orders. I ordered a large pie (8 slices btw) which, in retrospect, is not enough to feed two kids 12 and under & my wife and I. I'll come back to this later. I also ordered a broccoli rab and cheese calzone. I was raving about this after it entered my mouth. Also ordered a regular salad (good portions) w/ creamy balsamic - delish! All this came to 33$ and some change. Seems like a decent price - the only issue is that the large pizza is more like a medium sized pizza. I was disappointed with this. Cmon make a large pizza a freakin LRGE PIZZA! It really doesn't take that much more dough. And since this restaurant doesn't go heavy with mozzarella, (not a huge deal breaker) they can afford to make the large pie more like 11-12 slices w/o breaking the bank. Other than that major complaint, the broccoli Rab calzone was AMAZING! And the salad was fresh a good size and the balsamic, creamy as hell, was very tasty! Make the pies larger and you have a customer for life. Now get crack-a-lack in' pizziaolo! Buon Appetito ya filthy animals!

    Pasta E Fagiole

    My friends and I were so glad to have found this restaurant looking for a place to meet and eat at before going to Untermyer Gardens. The ambiance was nice and wait staff were attentive. Most importantly, everything we ordered was so good! All of us got the Pasta e Fagiole (the pasta was perfectly al dente and it was a large bowl), I got the individual margarita pizza, and the others ordered caesar salad and Orecchiette (the dish was huge and pasta perfectly al dente). If only Gianna's were located near where I live, I'd be a regular there! I'll make sure future visits to Untermyer will always include lunch at Gianna's.

    The food was decent. I felt that it was pricey. It's in a strip plaza. Nothing special. The staff was friendly.

It's always interesting to return to a place with history, and thankfully, the current experience holds up. The restaurant was moderately busy, but everything flowed smoothly. No waits, and the staff struck a great balance, attentive when needed, but giving us space to settle in and enjoy the company. Parking is easy with a free lot in the back, plus additional street options. The space is open with warm wood accents that give it a comfortable, inviting feel. We sat in the main dining room and started with the Hot Antipasto Deluxe, a generous spread perfect for the table. It didn't stop there, as they also brought out salad for everyone before the mains, a classic, welcoming touch. I ordered the pappardelle with chicken in a vodka sauce with a dollop of ricotta, rich and satisfying. Others enjoyed dishes like Chicken Piccata and Chicken Parmigiana. Portions were more than enough, and by dessert, shared chocolate lava cake and tartufo, we were completely full. A relaxed, accommodating spot that works especially well for groups. Definitely a place to linger and enjoy.
