Easily the best fine meal I've had in Greenville. On a nice evening, ask for an outdoor table, it overlooks the park and sometimes there is a wonderful busker singing familiar tunes (and doing it well!). Delicious burrata, crab stuffed pasta, rigatoni. The food, setting, and service really made my evening. You'll need a reservation for a table (plan ahead!) but the bar takes walk-ins. I'll be happily reminiscing about my meal for awhile :) read more

Jianna is by far my favorite Italian restaurant in Greenville! Their homemade pasta is to die for.... I suggest the spaghetti TBG (tomato basil garlic) pictured here. The atmosphere is modern and charming with an almost classic coastal feel as they serve up raw fresh oysters at their bar. Cocktails & wine are impressive as well and service is always attentive and kind ! read more

Oysters, house-made pasta and choice cuts of meat. Did I mention raw oysters?! Oysters!! We visited Greenville for a family reunion and searched for a downtown restaurant offering a variety of dinner options. Hey, I could eat fresh seafood every meal and never complain but some among us won't go near it. Jianna was a great choice for us. Sitting on the second-floor patio was perfect for a warm and breezy evening. The oysters were so good! They had four choices, two from East Coast and two from West. We ordered a couple dozen and I easily devoured half of them. We also had a prosciutto plate which pairs very well with the burrata. Highly recommended. Among our entrees we had Spaghetti, a Pork Chop and the daily fish special which was Halibut. Our server graciously divided the fish between two of us. It is so hard to prepare thick pork chops well and Jianna - almost pulled it off. Just slightly on the dry side. Unfortunately, my wife said that the fish was also slightly over-cooked. All in all, though, we very much enjoyed our dinner. Thank you for a wonderful meal. read more

We made reservations with 4 in party . Seated right away and server was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our appetizer which was ricotta with honey truffle. 2 of us had the scallops and I had the trout. Trout dish came out looking very Chefy on a bed of couscous with veggies. I had high hopes but my dish was very bland so unseasoned. The scallops had something on top which husband wasn't sure what it was, but no flavor and no sear to them. My friend who had them also felt the same. Very disappointing when you spend your hard earned money and leave blah. read more

Sit in Brennan's section! She was informative, knowledgeable about wine pairings (she was spot on with her choices) and attentive. We had a late reservation for 9pm on a Thursday. We arrived early so sat at the bar and had a cocktail and appetizer. We ordered the gnocchi and Brennan recommended the the bread to dip up the sauce, perfect. The hostess accommodated our request for an outdoor table but only if we could stay in Brennan's care. The red snapper was so tasty. My Campanille pasta was served hot and with just the right amount of spice, our third companion had the squid ink pasta dish -Rigatoni al Nero di Seppia, yummy! We had a lovely evening with fabulous food and outstanding service. Exactly what we were looking for. read more

The ambiance was nice and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. The service was good but very confusing as they didn't have a vegan dish. They ended up making something special. The pasta had to be sent back as it was hard undercooked. The manager Nico came out and spoke to us and finally pasta # 4 was right after our party of 3 only 2 people ate. It was extremely disappointing. The whole ordeal lasted a 2 1/2 hour waste of time. In addition, to seating outside that we came in during the day and it turned into night. It was very disappointing as all the local stated that Jianna was the spot. I will not be coming back to this restaurant again. read more

This is just an update.... This is still one of my favorite restaurants in Greenville. I was here for my daughter's birthday. Since I called ahead for reservations..and they have disposable menus now ...they personalized the menu wishing her a happy birthday!. Nice touch. So tonight we all tried the octopus appetizer ...again delicious. Not rubbery. Great flavors with potatoes, arugula and bacon.. no complaints. In addition we enjoyed the honey and ricotta spread. Finally for dinner.... Two had the spaghetti...home.made and delicious and for one individual who is very conscious of carbs ...well they atr the entire plate! Another ordered the red snapper... perfect light grill and crispness along delicious accompanying sauces and beautiful carrots. I ordered oysters and had the mushroom appetizer for my dinner... oysters were fresh and cold.. mushroom appetizer had sweet potatoes and an Italian bacon with a great woodsy taste the consistency was a mushroom ravioli. Service was a tad slow..as it felt like we waited a while for our food...but worth the wait. read more

This place is absolutely incredible and I will definitely come back as soon as I can. It is a bit expensive but so worth it. I usually never eat pasta but their food is amazing. I've even gone here with a couple of Italians and they have high standards and they even love this place. Will definitely come again and hopefully soon! Thank you for such an amazing experience and such great food! read more

This place was recommended to me by a couple of people and it was good not great. I got the special which was swordfish with steamed and marinated vegetables as well as the fennel apple salad. The salad was a good choice and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The special though was under seasoned, over cooked and the fist bite of vegetables made me think of catering food that sat out too long. Just sort of meh. I was also frustrated with the two televisions at either end of the restaurant. It's one thing to have this at a sports bar but at a place where you are spending quite a bit of money, I'd rather not be constantly distracted by a moving image. Overall, it was okay but we wouldn't go back or recommend it for the price of what you get. read more

I was in town for a wedding and several us decided to check out this spot before the Welcome Party, and we are glad we did. We got there right when they opened, as there were no reservations online and we were seated promptly. Our server was amazing, and made some excellent suggestions. All the food came out timely and was delicious. Next time I'm in Greenville, I plan on coming back here. read more

There was not a single bad thing to say about this place. Our server, Patrick, was great and very knowledgeable about the menu. Everything he recommended was *chefs kiss* I was basically licking the ricotta from the spoon at the end. The gnocchi was so YUM. I had the Tagliatelle al Nero di Seppia and it was the best thing I never knew I wanted. The portion was very big so you can definitely share it. The service was perfect (he was not annoyingly on top of us but was not neglecting us) and everyone was so kind! The aesthetic is very cute!! The bar area looked very fun, lots of places to sit. Inside and outside. I will definitely fly back to Greenville just for this place!! read more

Valentine's Day 2021. Spent an overnight in town so we called a couple weeks in advance to try out this place with a high recommendation from my daughter who lives in the area and has heard great reviews. It was booked so on the waiting list we went. Two days before I called to see about any cancellations. There were none but they kindly offered a balcony reservation at 5. It was chilly (50's) but we dressed warm and there were heaters so we were comfortable and honestly had the best seat in the house! (The balcony gives great views of people on the Main Street below and is quieter than inside). I started with a mixed cocktail called Respect Your Elders. It's was excellent. My husband and I split a "little gem salad" which was proportionally right for us both. The lettuce, pear, parmesan crisps and dressing were very good. There was Gorgonzola cheese too but neither of us are fans of that strong cheese so we left behind. I am gluten free and had their gf pasta with spaghetti sauce. It's not like a usual heavy sauce and had chunks of tomatoes and pieces of basil. Lot of Parmesan on top, yummy. Hubby had some kind of a lamb ragu dish which he loved. Again, the sauce wasn't too heavy. The lamb wasn't too gamey either and it was very flavor with a thick and chewy homemade pasta. We both had a glass of wine with dinner which our server recommended based on our general preference for Pinot Noir. Their wines are all Italian and his recommendations were spot on. The service was great and we felt well attended to. My pasta originally came out without being gf but they quickly rectified it and brought my husbands back too so it would be hot and we could eat together. Overall the food, service, and ambiance was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend eating.here. read more

Such a great location, food, vibe and staff! This wasn't my first time at Jianna's, it was, however, my first on the balcony. We had sat in the furthest most 2 seat table on the right of the balcony, completely in shade and open view to the park and road below. Open music, nice breeze, and 2 servings of east coast oysters along with mimosas. I couldn't think of a better brunch (and first date) in years! We had an amazing time. Our server was genuinely pleasant and fun. #jianna #greenville read more

Very nice. Across from falls park. Have visited twice and the food was excellent both times. Recommend for Italian food downtown Greenville.

Wow! Absolutely taken aback by the amazing service and great food for this location. I've traveled a lot and this place isn't known for it's quantity but quality. Don't expect heaping servings of Italian appetizers but of fun flavorful pieces. Menu has limited choices but because the items are made to perfection! The ambiance is really amazing. A great way to get lost in conversions with low music and dimmed lights. If you're lucky enough to snag a seat on the patio or near the windows it's lit by the outdoor light! read more

Stopped in before their dinner service. They have a happy hour style menu. Food was very good, large wine list which I believe was entirely Italian wines. Would make a great date night if you get a table out on the balcony overlooking the street on a nice night. We will be back for dinner. read more

This was a beautiful spot for a romantic dinner. The pasta is all made in-house and they have a huge wine and drink selection. We ordered the muscles that was a special for the night. I embarrassingly did not know how to pronounce the menu items but the waitress was very nice and helped. The inside of the restaurant was packed and a reservation is a must. The noise inside is kinda loud but outside is hit or miss. The cars going by blasting music can ruin the atmosphere but it's a nice view if you want to people watch. read more

Jianna was outstanding! From the moment you walk in, the decor is well thought out and you have a beautiful view of the river. The grilled octopus was grilled perfectly had a great salad to compliment it. Their grilled bread and beer selection was excellent as well. I finished off the meal with their marinated olives and had a great experience. Their larger plates looked great but focus on their appetizers which were tapas style and very flavorful. Highly recommend you stop by and if you can, try to sit outside and enjoy their lovely view. read more

We love Jianna! Always a very polite and attentive waitstaff, the pasta is amazing and the ambiance is really nice.

Service was amazing. Jeff was attentive but not overbearing. And the food.. . Amazing! Great experience!

This is a gem in Greenville. They serve freshly made pastas and have an extensive wine menu. This isn't the typical Italian restaurant with 3 pastas and a red and white sauce. This is elevated but not in a weird, stuffy way. It's a lively atmosphere with good food and amazing service. It's definitely worth a visit and if the weather is good the seats on the balcony are a great spot for dinner with a view. read more

I came here with my parents after graduation and immediately wished I had known about Jianna for the past four years of college! The inside is chic, but the patio is absolutely adorable. The host knew it was a graduation dinner so he said he put us in the best location on the corner and we overlooked Reedy Falls- so sweet! I had a couple of Aperol Spritz to start and they were SO delicious. My mom and I split a pasta dish but the pasta in my attached photo is the half serving size which in my opinion is the perfect size. Definitely try Jianna if you're in Greenville, its the best Italian food in a 75 mile radius in my opinion. read more

My favorite downtown Gville restaurant. Service and food are excellent. Good bar scene with indoor outdoor bar.

Staple in Greenville - if you can get a table on the patio do it, just amazing people watching. They have an amazing wine list, great service and better food. Favorites are going to be the gnocchi appetizer (I have tried making at home it's that good), their oyster selection is awesome and shucked right at the bar, rotating menu mostly but they normally have either a crab or shrimp short pasta dish that is always incredible. read more
