The hostess at the front wasn't really welcoming or friendly at all. No welcome in just asked us for table or a booth. Our waiter, was super knowledgeable and very friendly. He have great recommendations. The food was absolutely amazing. The pasta, dessert, all of it. 10/10. read more

We were in town on vacation and were looking for somewhere to have an early dinner. Based off the reviews and photos we knew this place was going to be great. We arrived mid day and there were only a few people inside. Plenty of tables open. The service was excellent and everything was absolutely delicious. Would definitely go again if we are in the area:) read more

Ambiance was casual and homie. Service was great a the food was delicious! The specialists was outstanding!

More lobster ravioli and I got the ziti! I was underwhelmed with the ziti. Won't order it again. It was not bad. Don't get me wrong. It just didn't have much flavor. Now the Irish coffee, lobster ravioli, and the garlic and oil with bread.... SLAPPED. So good. Always a pleasure. And our super sweet server was there again. She's the best. read more

Gianni’s Italian Bistro - So yummy!! - Italian Near Me - Heath, Texas

They seated me quickly and I put my order in right away. I had the Cesar salad, a flat bread and angel hair pasta. The salad was ok and the flatbread was good but the pasta was not flavorful at all. The place was clean and had a nice ambiance. Overall it was ok for the price. read more

My entire family loves this place. It's great for lunch, dinner, quick meals or long sit downs. The service is great and very warm. Salads, seafood, pastas, pizza, all fantastic. My toddlers are always super happy with the fresh taste of the pizza, fettuccine, or spaghetti with meat sauce. read more

Gianni's has some of the best Italian food in Rockwall county. It is owned by a local Italian family, and the service is top-notch. You can expect to be quickly seated and greeted by your server. The tortellini alla vodka will always be my favorite. You can grab this in a lunch portion as well. They serve many homemade pastas, but are well known for their pizza as well. You do not want to miss out on this spot, read more

Delicious food and service! Mozzarella sticks had amazing cheese pull according to my son.

First and last time here. We brought our grandkids here for a special dinner together. Our barely 10 year old grandson ordered spaghetti and meatballs and we ordered a small half cheese/ half pepperoni pizza for the girls and a pizza for us. The kids food arrived first which was perfect but it went downhill after that. The girls pizza was swimming in grease and pale as a ghost. Our Pizza was worse than a frozen pizza from the gas station. Pale tasteless crust and sickening sweet sauce. Then the bill arrives and we were charged for an adult order of spaghetti and meatballs. We called the waiter over to inquire and he said you never said a kids meal. Excuse me? The order came from a child's mouth! The waiter basically said too bad. Don't waist your time or your money. read more

Food was authentic and very fresh. Each item was prepared with great care in presentation. The service was very attentive and friendly. We will return ! read more

This is a nice spot to have lunch or catch up with some friends. They have a lunch menu that is from 12-3pm and I ordered the chicken Parmesan. I would say it's ok. The marinara pasta sauce was a bit plan. I probably would get something else next time I go. But i will say the chicken is very crispy. They give you complimentary bread and my goodness it's so delicious!! The customer service is good as well. Overall I would come here for a nice lunch spots read more

This place is somewhat near my place, but a 15 minute drive in the plaza we go to just in case we need to take the back road once in awhile. The service was awesome as they kept on giving us bread. The bread was original as it was garlic and pretty big and was addicting. I only had one bread though as I did not want to get full. I ended up getting a Gianni Salad with chicken added for $15 dollars which was not too bad. The prices were reasonable and priced just right. Would definitely come back here again. read more

We literally found this place by accident, and it was welcome surprise. It's a cute little place in a busy shopping center. They do a brisk takeout business, and there were plenty of other diners, too. Menu has everything you'd expect and a few unique items. Our food was good, although my husband wasn't too impressed with the lobster ravioli. Our waiter was quick and polite. I will gladly return! read more

first time ordering they got my order very wrong not go back. They says I could get free next time. But won't won't go back !!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first visit to Gianni's and it will not be my last. I was greeted upon entering and seated immediately. My waitress was very attentive throughout my visit and made sure I was taken care of. The spaghetti & meatballs and salad with the house Italian dressing was excellent. The music and ambience was also very well done. I will definitely recommend Gianni's to my friends and family. Parking: There was plenty of parking during the lunch hour. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp from the parking lot to the sidewalk leading to the entrance. read more

Good pizza and pastas. Recommend it to others. Will go back from time to time. We call in and I go pick up our pizzas and its always ready when I get there. read more

Gianni's is one of my fave places to go. The food is always scrumptious, the staff is always on top of everything and super kind and the place is always clean. read more

Two stars because the bread was hot and delicious. Otherwise, the food was terrible. The meatballs must be the frozen bagged kind. The sauce is like cheap canned sauce that isn't even seasoned to dress it up. The Alfredo sauce was a runny and thin like milk. Do not waste your time or money. read more

We came with high expectation and very disappointed. The spaghetti meat sauce had huge chunks of beef and was tasteless. The pasta trio was the same way all tasted the same but just lacked flavor. I thought with these high reviews it would be much better but this was not good at all. Not worth a second try read more

First and foremost, what a nice spot. Clean, and comfortable seating, semi light lighting. Pricing was right in my range for Italian food, everything seemed fair. Food was delicious, portions are huge. Our server was "Hannah", she was a sweet and a bubbly individual, made several recommendations that did not disappoint. Will highly recommend. read more

Service is always on point. The food never disappoints. The atmosphere is comfortable and elegant. A top favorite for our family

Went there with the parents in law. It was Delicious, the lobster risotto is amazing and so was the eggplant parm, they can change any noodle and any sauce so you can choose your own adventure. Will be returning. read more

First time getting lunch here. Our server was friendly and attentive. Fresh bread is dropped at the table to start. I got the lasagna and my husband got the Gianni's special. Both tasted great and had a good serving size. We took a large pizza home and really enjoyed it later. read more

This review is a little late . My husband and I were recommended this GEM by his BIL, and let me tell you - definitely worth it. We kept debating on what to eat for dinner on Sunday night (yesterday) and we just couldn't decide. We are new in Forney so we just couldn't decide. When we pulled up, we noticed a brand new restaurant that opened next door as well, and after about 5 minutes realized there wasn't anyone inside of Giannis. We walked in, and were greeted with a friendly smile, and the option to sit wherever we would like. We sat down, and had a friendly waiter who had an assistant as well. We ordered: Appetizer - Caesar Salad Alfredo Pizza + Chicken The Pasta Trio Tiramisu First - the bread rolls came so fast, were warm, with a dash of Parm on them and the perfect amount of butter........Second - the Caesar salad was so fresh, crisp, and had the perfect amount of dressing on it. I could have that salad every day for dinner, that's how good it was!!! Like......I want some right now.... Next, was our entrees.....and babyy!!! The pizza was FANTASTIC!!! The amount of sauce and cheese and chicken was perfect....the ratio was perfect, and the way the pizza was cooked to perfection. The perfect amount of crunch but still light, and buttery. My pasta trio was so cheesy - not complaining because I love cheese - you can never have too much cheese... the trio came with Manicotti, Lasagna, and Capellini - all three was a trio to die for!!! Not Olive Garden, not a generic recipe, this was like aldrin scratch homemade recipes. Last, THE TIRAMISU !!!!!!!!! Needless to say, there's not a picture because we DEVOURED that sucker......this is the one item not made in house. However, it is made by a local family.....that in itself makes me so proud!!!! Small businesses supporting other small businesses. This restaurant is FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED. Please show your support and help keep them stay in business ! Bread Basket read more

This review is for catering and dining. We have had dinner here many times and the boys love the chicken fettuccine Alfredo as well as the white pizza. The bread is divine and always fresh! With that being said, I had the idea to hire them for catering for my husbands 40th birthday and they did not disappoint. I will say however, that the per person estimate for the large pans of pasta serves more than 10+, especially with the tons of bread and salad included. We had SO MUCH food left over that I didn't even know what to do with it all. I could have easily ordered half of what I originally planned. This is not a complaint at all. The price we paid was so reasonable and all our guests took home leftovers. Just know that portions are very generous and it's a an excellent value for a crowd. We had so many people compliment the food and ask where it was from and many family members are no interested in hiring them for catering in the future. Working with Gianni's was a breeze and staff was helpful loading the food in my car. It was nice to have our food hot, fresh, and within a 5 minute drive back to our house. read more

Let me start by saying the food was good. We ordered the Spicy Chicken Pesto pasta and the Lobster Ravioli. We also ordered two tiramisu dessert as well. The spicy pasta was our favorite though the Ravioli was also good. The tiramisu was light - a good ending to a carb heavy meal - but not necessarily noteworthy. They get 2 stars for this and this only. So, why the low rating from a first time patron.... 1. When I was midway done ordering via phone for a pick up order, the man I was speaking to suddenly said he was gonna get somebody else. No explanation. It felt like I was taking too long for him...like I had too many questions. When I asked the woman, she said why he abruptly handed off the phone she said she didn't know and maybe it was because he couldn't understand. 2. When my Mom went in to pick up the food, they were dry. 3. My Mom forgot to sign a tip so I ran back up there today to drop off a tip. When I went to the bar, they asked how they could help (two men). And I told them what happened. One said something and turned away. And the other said you can drop it in there. A thank you would've been appreciated. Yet another dry encounter. 4. The food was overpriced in my opinion. I paid $56 for 2 plates ($18.95 and $16.95) and 2 desserts ($7.95 ea). For that price, the entrees should have come with house salads. They did not. The portions were okay. I would've happily paid that much for this meal with salads, drinks (we typically drink water ir club soda anyway) and gratuity included. I called to voice my experience and spoke with a Peter since the manager was not available. Although, Peter tried to assuage my frustrations it was game over at that point. He invited us to come in and he would personally wait on us but I am not interested in spending my money at this establishment. He offered up excuses that were inexcusable and not likelyover the course of multiple interactions over the course of 20 hours. Coincidence. I think not. The food is not so good that it will cover all the other blemishes I experienced on my first and last visit here. Perhaps this would be a very different review had the customer service matched the quality of the pasta dishes. We will never know. I am looking forward to trying Manny's next door. My mom accidentally walked in there when she went to pick up the order and she told me how nice they were to her. That's a business I can get behind and try. read more

On this rainy Saturday I finally had my first opportunity to try Gianni's in Heath. This new restaurant opened at the beginning of the year and got bad luck being hit by the pandemic shutdowns before they really got going. They are next to the new Tom Thumb, if you don't like to google directions. On today's visit we arrived around 1:45pm and sadly, were the only patrons in the restaurant. No other customers came into the business during the hour and fifteen minutes we spent there. This particularly broke my heart. Service was prompt and attentive, after all, we were the only ones. Bread basket was huge, fresh, and unlimited. If you like the bread style and taste at Luigi's in Rockwall you will love it here as it's nearly identical. We ordered side salads, which were fresh and crispy. No complaints with anything, really, the modern/minimalistic decor and ambience was fine. The place was very very clean. Still looks brand new. Italian music echoed off the empty tables and chairs. But the Star of the show, pictured, was the main dish. Spicy Chicken Pesto. This. Was. Amazing. Bursting with flavor. BOLD. Unbelievable texture. Savory, juicy chicken and roasted peppers. Every bite was so good, you felt guilty. This is a showstopper pasta. Worth the trip. Seriously. Hop in your car. Now. Right now. And easily worth the price at $14.95 To be honest I could barely finish this pasta, and if I was a better man I would've only eaten half of it and taken it home for leftovers. But I couldn't resist. Helplessly, my hands continued to shovel bite after bite of delectable spicy, savory, creamy pasta into my mouth. I didn't want to leave a single milliliter of sauce on the bowl. Even when the pasta was gone I found myself savagely wiping up the sauce remnants with a part of the complementary bread. I became a glutton. It was glorious. Despite the lapse and health-conscious judgment, I felt completely satisfied, if not a little upset with myself, for not having come in here sooner. Then it set in, that many people have probably never even tried this place whatsoever, much less in the middle of this wild national situation. I hope that this empty eatery, while nearby Chick-fil-A had literally 80 cars wrapped around the entire building at the same moment, will not be the reality for them much longer. This is a place that deserves your business, deserves to make it. Please give them a try. I'm so glad that I did. I'm only sorry I didn't do it sooner. read more

It's now my go-to Italian restaurant. You should try it. read more

A friend & I met at this hidden gem for lunch today & we were immediately greeted with fresh, warm rolls. It was our first time there and the waiter let us know about the house specials. We ordered calamari to start & this wasn't your typical frozen/chewy calamari. This was fresh, lightly battered with great texture. We both ordered the lobster ravioli for our entree & it was fabulous. The ravioli was accompanied by fresh chunks of tomatoes & lobster in the sauce. The place is clean & our server was on top of it with lots of refills. We'll definitely be back. read more

Pasta is good to very good, white sauce is really good. Red sauce is good The lasagna is really good, I'd like a little more noodles & ricotta cheese but don't get me wrong You all most can't go wrong here, other than the pizza, the pizza is lower level, if you know what real deal pizza is. Try it you will more than likely like it, it is a good local pasta joint read more

Food was very good. Service was acceptable. It was very crowded when we arrived, and they seemed short-handed. But they did a good job.

Everything is absolutely amazing! Been twice and loved it each time. My favorite is the vodka sauce.
