    Great food and an even better atmosphere! I'm so happy to have a place like this in Greenville. My friend and I ordered the spaghetti and the gemelli, and both were absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back!

    Really loved the food at Jiana. Look, you can get burrata at so many places, but not like this. This was probably the best burrata I've had anywhere. They just put the cheese in such a cool salad with sweetness and crunchiness. Really fabulous. Also really enjoyed casarece pasta with seafood and the octopus. The whipped ricotta was delish, as well. The other highlight was Derek our waiter. He was so friendly and attentive. He gave us some fantastic tips of things to do in Greenville and we had a great hike the next day due to his to his wonderful suggestion. Nice cocktails and dessert, too, and the room was pleasant and not crazy loud.

    I am so upset that I did not know of this place sooner. This place is absolutely magnificent. The service is spectacular - everyone we came across was incredibly friendly and polite. Our server was knowledgeable in the menu as far as suggestions. He also was always one step ahead as far as our water and boxing our leftover. Our entire experience was a delight - the food itself however speaks volumes of this place. The ricotta crostini is definitely THAT GOOD. They also gave us complimentary bread to ensure we finished our ricotta. The spaghetti may look "simple" but it is full of flavor and is definitely a large plate - could be two servings. The soup and sandwich were also fantastic - on the menu i didn't see it mentioned that the sandwich came with a pasta salad but it does as pictured. Everything seemed to be perfected i balancing the flavors and it was truly delicious. This was for lunch service - we are dying to go back for dinner !!

    Wish I took more photos but we had a perfect cozy booth. The restaurant was lively and service was attentive. My steak was cooked to perfection. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

    Lobster pasta (GF)

    My husband and I had a fun date night at Jianna. The hostess and server were both very nice and overall the restaurant has a nice ambiance. I appreciate that they have gluten free pasta options - my husband has a gluten intolerance and was able to enjoy his food. We ordered a hugo spritz, a glass of processco and each ordered a different pasta. My pasta was a squid ink pasta of some sort, and I thought it was very good. My husband got a lobster pasta that was on special and it was just okay in my opinion. There was a puddle of watery sauce at the bottom and overall the pasta wasn't that flavorful. They had the windows wide open and we sat close to the windows and there were a lot of people outside walking by/standing around smoking cigarettes so we kept getting cigarette smells when the wind blew (I understand this is outside of the restaurant's control.) Overall we had a good experience and would come back again.

    This is a 4.5 out of 5. In terms of fresh pasta, you won't be able to do any better than Jianna. Super authentic and masterfully prepared. The gnocchi is cooked with bacon and perfectly fluffy. The grilled bread was amazing as well. The crab pasta dish was super crab flavored and cooked with sun-dried tomatoes. Very rich dish,. My said the spaghetti was a 7/10. Overall, we had a lovely meal.

    Exceptional evening and exceptional meal. We were celebrating a milestone anniversary and it couldn't have been a better experience. We sat outside on the balcony overlooking Falls Park. It was a gorgeous night and our table was perfectly situated to enjoy views of Main Street. We were immediately greeted and wished a happy anniversary. When seated, we were presented with special menus noting the anniversary. Sam was our server and she was wonderful, so warm and friendly.We started with a half dozen East Coast oysters. Such a delicious service, complete with mignonette, hot sauce, and cocktail sauce. I had the scallop special and my husband had the spaghetti and meatballs. We ended the meal with a delicious olive oil cake. This was a very special way to celebrate a milestone anniversary, or any special occasion. We highly recommended this exceptional restaurant!

    Octopus app was really amazing. My wife had the hanger steak which was wonderful. I chose the rigatoni, which was cooked excellent but I found to be a bit salty. Would certainly make a return visit.

    Lamb Ragu Special
    Erin S.

    We had a dinner reservation for a party of 2 at 8 pm on Saturday, 3/22/25. We were celebrating a birthday, which they acknowledged with birthday wishes and a "Happy Birthday" menu, but that was it. No dessert on the house, which was a bummer. Katelyn was our waitress and she was great! We got a starter, bread, and we got all specials for the half order of pasta (the move!!) and our large plates. Here's what we got: - North Carolina Burrata ($15): More like a salad, doesn't come with bread. Very good! - Grilled Ciabatta ($4): Unfortunately, they don't offer free bread service. The bread was fine, but we wouldn't get it again. - Lamb Ragu Pasta Special (half order, $15): OMG. This was soo good. The half order was the perfect size too. Still dreaming about this. - Scallop Special ($45): The scallops melted in my mouth! Loved the mushrooms in the dish too! - Filet Special ($55): We ordered this medium, but it came out very medium rare. My husband was fine with that, so he ate it. It was good, but the side was even better! The potatoes, snap peas, and cauliflower were perfectly seasoned. So good! We were sadly too full for dessert. We would 100% go back and have already recommended to others! Good portion size, reasonably priced, and delicious food!

    Dirty gin. Big wine list. Reasonably priced apps. Big dinners. Hand-made pastas. Dietary sensitivity. Great outdoor elevated patio/ outdoor area. Thank you to Fernando for good company and recommendations.

    Dessert time!

    First time in Greenville, what an absolutely wonderful town. First time at Jianna's , an incredible meal, we deferred to our waiter, Andy, who had wine recommendations from a very extensive list, as well as thoughts on appetizers and entrées, I don't think you can go wrong with anything. Everything was delicious and fresh and so homemade tasting. We absolutely plan on coming back on our next trip. And you've gotta love a restaurant that actually has a cookbook you can purchase!

    Here tonight for a dinner date. Tonight we had the Grilled Ciabatta with Olive Oil as a starter. Make sure you get the freshly ground Parmesan cheese with that. And ask for extra Parmesan. We then had the Pan Roasted Red Snapper (but tonight they substituted it with North Carolina Bass). The fish comes with Poached P.E.I. Mussels (delicious - really, my husband who normally does not love mussels really liked these), potatoes, and squash in a really nice sauce. Make sure you also try a pasta dish. They make all their pastas fresh daily. We got the Strozzapretti.

    Calamarata al Nero di Sepia with rock shrimp and squid ink pasta
    Margie H.

    What an exceptional dining experience! Our server, Matt, was outstanding. His wine expertise truly elevated the evening. He described our selection so vividly that I could practically taste the wine before it arrived at our table. Through thoughtful questions, he guided us to the perfect selection: Il Colle di Carli. It was delicious and set the tone beautifully for our meal. For our main courses, we ordered the lamb shank rigatoni and the Calamarata al Nero di Sepia with rock shrimp and squid ink pasta. The squid ink pasta was a first for me, and I was absolutely delighted. The flavor was extraordinary and unlike anything I'd experienced before. Both dishes paired wonderfully with our wine. We dined outside with live music drifting from the street, creating the most enchanting atmosphere. Our server asked if we were too warm, and we agreed we were feeling a bit warm, Matt graciously adjusted the outdoor heating without hesitation. Every detail was attended to with care. This is the kind of restaurant that understands fine dining is about the complete experience: exceptional food, knowledgeable service, and an ambiance that makes the evening unforgettable. Simply beautiful.

I had the Up In the Air. I'm more sensitive to sweetness than most, so even though our waiter said it wasn't particularly sweet, I asked them to cut the sweetness further and they accommodated it without issue. My friend had the Ginger's Have More Fun, made with their own house ginger liqueur instead of ginger beer. It wasn't overly syrupy, but the syrup notes were present enough to undercut what could've otherwise been a more refreshing drink. We split the Nacho Average Nachos. It was great for picking at while we chatted and had a good concept, with a solid mix of pickled toppings, rich queso, and protein, and chips that held up fine (no sogginess). The execution didn't rise above the idea. It was a fine, forgettable plate rather than a memorable one. Good portion for two, though. Overall, a nice spot for golden hour drinks if you're already in the area, but not somewhere I'd make a specific trip for.

Honestly, all of the staff we encountered were so helpful, I was very impressed. The bar area is first come, first served. The oysters were fresh and I was given the choice for the sizes of them. The mignonettes were absolutely delicious. We also ordered a burger to share so they cut it in half for us and split the side of fries as well. That was the nicest gesture!

The aoili and onions paired so well together. I can't wait to return for this and dinner service. Fries were fresh and crispy.

We had a reservation so we were seated quickly in a big comfortable group - party of four. The server was a bit quirky. A little "too much" if you know what I mean. The wine list was amazing. So many choices. We shared the Brussels sprouts and a shrimp lettuce wrap. The sprouts were fantastic. The lettuce wrap I do not recommend. The shrimp had no flavor. They should do a spicy Asian sauce on them. I got the chopped salad as a starter. Loved the dried cranberries. Dressing was a little light. Also, very hard to eat with a fork. :-) For the main, I got the filet cooked medium rare. I was eyeing a $100 A2 ribeye but I was someone's guest and did not want to overstep. The filet was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Only $49. Guessing it was 8 ounces. It was served in a Worcestershire jus that was excellent. Also came with mushrooms, asparagus and small potatoes.

After spending the day downtown, we went back to refresh and headed over to Coupe's Corner for the evening. When we first pulled up and saw a line outside, we almost changed our minds. Thankfully, we stayed because the line moved surprisingly fast. We probably waited no more than 10 minutes, and we even met some really nice people while waiting. Once inside, we quickly realized the space is much larger than it appears from the outside. In addition to the indoor area, there's a patio space in the back that gives you even more room to enjoy the atmosphere. It was definitely crowded, but in a good way. The energy was great, the crowd was mature and age-appropriate, and the overall vibe was exactly what we were looking for. The music was on point, with different music playing inside and outside, giving guests options depending on their mood. The drinks were phenomenal, and our bartender was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Although they serve food, we didn't get a chance to try it because the kitchen was closing for the night. Since they're located downtown and close at midnight, the kitchen closes accordingly. However, our bartender shared that they're opening a second location that will stay open later, which means longer kitchen hours as well. We also had the opportunity to meet the owner, who was very friendly and welcoming. Service, atmosphere, music, and drinks were all top-tier. The only minor thing worth mentioning is that the hallway connecting the indoor and outdoor areas is a bit narrow and can become congested, especially since it's also where the restrooms are located. Overall, this place gets a solid 10 out of 10 from me. Great service, great drinks, great music, and an amazing atmosphere. The vibe was absolutely vibing, and I would definitely return the next time I'm in Greenville.
