The decor was cool but people are packed in there like sardines. Our service was great which was a nice surprise with the number of people there and the number of people waiting. We were lucky because we were a party of two. I had French onion soup, which was good. However, the pizza was absolutely fabulous! My husband had the meatballs and ziti and said it was really good. I would be getting pizza there all the time if I lived in the area!

Dropping my review by a star after our last meal here. My friends shared the $43 lamb ragu special…read more& they were disappointed. There was very little lamb in the dish (see pic) & because of that, they did not even finish it. My husband & I shared the "lasagna". It's not lasagna; it's lasagna noodles with a tiny amount of cheese & all meat sauce. It was delish but it you are looking for lasagna, this isn't it. Service was great. Enjoyed our drinks except for the cucumber martini. Wow - what a find! This lovely place is split into 2. The trattoria is mainly indoor dining & a small bar & next door is their "Veranda" restaurant w/limited indoor tables & mostly outdoor tables w/live music. The Veranda section doesn't take reservations & looks lovely. Our reservation was at the Trattoria. We enjoyed drinks first - I really liked the blueberry martini w/out sugar. My husband had wine & my friend loved the strawberry martini. We ordered the full loaf of bread & it was great with the fabulous dipping oil. For dinners we had: linguini w/clams, lasagna, chicken marsala, & bolognese. We all loved our dinners & all brought food home. We ended with a tiramasu. Great place, nicely decorated, romantic, & our waitress was wonderful!

If you're anywhere near Gulfport, Florida and love a good local spot, this pizza place is the kind…read moreof place that reminds you why family-run restaurants are the best. The bartender had the kind of personality that instantly makes you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. The food was excellent and the menu had plenty of great options beyond just pizza. Everything felt fresh, homemade, and done with pride. But the moment that really made the night? A regular at the bar quietly paid our bill as a surprise. That kind of generosity says everything about the community and the atmosphere this place creates. Great food, great energy, and the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Gulfport is lucky to have it.

The food here was so good! The pizzas are 14 inches so definitely good to share or have leftovers…read more The clam pizza was so unique compared to other pizza places in Tampa and the spicy peach was also different! Both super flavorful but the clam was definitely a winner. Also, can't beat $1 wings on sundays! My only complaint is that the sauces like ranch and blue cheese don't seem homemade. It was pretty small inside so I would imagine it gets busy.

I have to say, Gianni's is definitely one of the best NY style pizza spots I've found. The slices were fresh, flavorful, and had that perfect New York-style crust. Pazzo Pepperoni was really good too! We also ordered the garlic knots, and they were fresh, buttery, and loaded with garlic. They also have GF crust option. Highly recommend trying Gianni's out!

PARENT'S WEEKEND ADVENTURE!!!…read more Let me start with we have had the pizza and calzones from this place with the kids and the food was Awesome!!! Check out my 1st review for details!!! This time we got to sit down and have a truly enjoyable Adult Italian Dinner!!! The Ambiance/Decor is old world Italian style and very comfortable. It takes you somewhere that makes you feel like the beach isn't less than a mile away. We love it!!! Oh my word the Food was so flavorful and worth every penny!!! Food to Value ration: WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Yes I said it twice, lol!!! We ordered a reserve Chianti and Wifey LOVED IT!!! As an app, we got the Eggplant Rollatini and it did not disappoint. It was ooey gooey Great!!! We both upgraded to the Caesar Salad and I'm not sure how the house salad would have been, but the 2$ up charge was well worth it. Tasted way better than most Cesar salads at other establishments. We ordered our entrees from the Chef's Specialty menu. Wifey got the short rib ravioli. Portion size was good and taste was so fresh they tasted like they were made fresh when ordered!!! I got the Salmon dish and holy succulent Salmon. Cooked to perfection!!! The brandy risotto w/asparagus was a nice complement to the Salmon. We were so full we didn't even have desert, but we cannot wait to try the house made tiramisu next time!!! If you get the chance to try this place. Do yourselves a favor and stop in. We will always make this place a stop on our visits to the area!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

And if I order fries at a restaurant, unless I'm getting a happy meal, I don't wanna have to tear open little ketchup packets. This place really is just a diner disguised as an Italian restaurant. When the waitress asked how's my "sammidge" that kind of said it all.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and offers outdoor seating by the water. The service was extremely fast and our waiter was quick to give us recommendations on the menu. We started with the garlic cheese bread with marinara and then ordered the special Seafood Linguine and the Cacio e Pepe with shrimp. Both entrees were accompanied by house salads. The flavors absolutely melted in your mouth and the seafood was cooked to perfection! We did not save room for dessert but everything looked and sounded amazing. You can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. This is a classic Italian place and hits every mark!

The ambiance was amazing, especially seeing families hanging out and plenty of adorable puppies enjoying the outdoor space. We started with drinks, and the #5 IPA was absolutely delicious! My wife had the Prosecco, and she loved it too. The service was exceptional--everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even better. We were starving, so we ordered the steak nachos, and they completely exceeded our expectations. As a huge nacho girl, I can honestly say these were top-tier! They were loaded with flavor and easily some of the best nachos I've had. To top it all off, we spent the evening outside enjoying live music by the incredibly talented Ethan Smith. Great food, awesome drinks, outstanding service, and such a fun, laid-back atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! If you're in Gulfport, do yourself a favor and check them out!

We had perfect timing bc they open at 5pm on Sunday, and as soon as we got inside it started pouring. We sat by the window and watched the rain and enjoyed our fave Tampa Bay Deep Dish. There's nothing like this that's as good here and we have tried a lot. Hard to find a good Chicago Deep Dish. Our server was great and super helpful and friendly. Our overall experience and our amazing pizza was excellent!! There's a couple rooms for dining but the first room to the right of the entrance next to the window was where we were at. We will def ask for this table again. They also have outside patio tables for those nice twilight nights. Parking is free in their small lot or the street beside them.

We've been here a few times now and really like the honey boo boo and decided to try a new pizza…read more We had the loverboy which seemed to have all the things we were looking for, fresh mozzarella, a meat component, ricotta, and caramelized onions. The pizza came straight outta the wood fired oven to our table. Very thin crust, with slight chew. We were a bit disappointed in the lack of flavor. We had a hard time pinpointing the issue, but we think the sliced meatballs were bland, and the pie needed more salt and maybe garlic? Back to the honey boo boo next time for sure. Very dark, no frills, hipster vibe going on inside. Service is usual pretty good.

We stopped by for dinner and had to wait around 15 minutes for a table to open up inside. It's…read morepretty small inside and so I can see it getting very busy if you were to dine in. The interior is pretty dark and moody which I personally really liked. Our server was fantastic throughout the night as well. The Meatballs were fantastic and a huge portion! I love how the tops are baked and have a nice crust which adds more texture. The Lover Boy and Malibu pizzas were amazing and I would happily order them again. The biggest highlight of the pizza, is the construction/bite itself. I think this might be my favorite 'bite' when it comes to ratio of toppings, bread, crisp. I think they nailed the balance perfectly. This is not the 'droopy' slice (which is still good) but rather a very structured slice where it holds itself well. I couldn't praise it anymore. Go try it yourself!

Saturday night was our second time dining at this very nice Italian restaurant. We and our friends…read morehad four different meals and appetizers, all if which was superb. The restaurant was packed and because it's so small it was extremely noisy and made conversing a little difficult at times. Here's the bad: I had called after making reservations and ask what their corking fee was. The gentlemen who answered the phone said he couldn't find the fee in their system but he thought it was $15 or $20 per bottle. When we received our bill the charge me $40 per bottle for a total corking fee of $80 for my two bottles of wine. When I ask the wait person to explain, she couldn't offer any reason other than that's what the management charges. I ask to speak to the manager, but he was not interested in hearing about my before dining inquiry of their corking fee. I love the food but I will not be supporting this establishment because of their outrageous corking fee. We dine out a lot and at very fine restaurants and the typical corking fee is $15 to $20. That's acceptable but I will not dine at an establishment that over charges for a service that is pure profit for them.

Some excellent food here, but I'd suggest a few areas of improvement. First, our mains were…read moreexcellent. The veal saltimbocca, veal scaloppine, and Mediterranean cod were all delicious, and the sauces were fantastic on all of them. Recommend them all. However the vegetables were lame. My salad was just a small bowl of romaine, some fennel, and cherry tomatoes with a lemon vinaigrette dressing. Pretty boring. The side veggies were no better. A mix of broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, etc. that could have come from a frozen veggie bag. No flavoring or anything. The roasted asparagus was nice however. My final criticism relates to the service. The girl who brought water etc. was intrusive, mainly at the end of the meal. She kept trying to take the plate away from one of our group, a slow eater savoring his food and who was not finished. She removed plates before everyone at the table was done. Just stop! Please leave plates until everyone is done unless you are asked to remove them. Basic good manners. Despite these criticisms I would happily return. This could be a five star restaurant with some tweaks.
