I'm back!! I love this place and always make a point to come here every time I'm in Pacific Grove…read more I just love the vibe. Make sure to make reservations because there's always a line. I feel like the menu has changed and the food got even better. Jordan was our server. He was wonderful. He was polite and always checked on us. There was a hiccup with my cocktail and he followed up on it with me. He was dismayed that the person who served our cocktails didn't inform me that they ran out of one of the key ingredients. So I ordered a different cocktail. This time, it took a long time to arrive but Jordan stayed on top of it and apologized. The food here is excellent! The salads are really good. Not your regular bagged salad. The pastas are AMAZING! So full of flavor. I was wowed! There was a mixup with my salad, but Jordan took care of it immediately. We ordered: * Viola - Delicate, light but strong! * Fried Artichoke - So yummy! Not greasy. Love the 3 sauces. * Orange & Beet Salad - lightly dressed. Tangy and sweet. Well-balanced * Caesar Salad - Love how this was plated, with spears of romaine heart leaves * Spicy Black Fettuccine Scampi - wish I was able to try this but I'm allergic to shellfish. Considering my son's place was clean, I'd say it probably was delicious. * Lamb Pappardelle - hubby's order. He cleaned his plate too. * Lasagna Romana - huge serving! If you want cheesy and comforting, this is it. I shared this with my daughter. It was so good! Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. I wish they had bread on the side to sop up all the amazing sauces left on the plates. For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu. Incredible! Delicious! Spectacular! I love that it had coffee at the bottom of my cup! Tells you it's homemade vs premade frozen. It was top-notch!

It was crowded but they found a table for us outside. We were in the sidewalk dealing with foot traffic and cars but it was fine. Our server was extremely attentive and very helpful. I recommend giving this place a try.

Would never return. We chose this restaurant for my bachelorette dinner and the experience was…read moredisappointing from the moment we walked in. Paula, the hostess (and possibly an owner according to all the other reviews here), was dismissive and treated our group with obvious disrespect while warmly interacting with other tables around us. We were the largest group in the restaurant and the only Asian American group. Everyone in our party was Asian except for one white guest, who was the only person Paula spoke happily to and even joked with when he asked where the restroom was. The contrast in how our group was treated was hard to ignore and left us feeling singled out. Our server was nice, but the poor hospitality overshadowed what should have been a special celebration. I left feeling unwelcome and I hope no one else has a similar experience.

The spot is a cute little restaurant, parking can be hard but you can find some in the neighborhood behind the shop. We were seated right away, service was great and the food was fantastic. The starter bread was really good, super soft and fresh. We got a Caesar salad, mozzarella with prosciutto app, and the Bolognese pasta. The mozzarella starter was amazing, so fresh and the arugula was light and flavorful. The star was the Bolognese, it was so fresh and amazing. That sauce was perfect. I will be dreaming of that for weeks. The chocolate flour less cake looked amazing but we were too full.. Next time!

Delicious food from start to finish. Can't wait to come back. The restaurant does pass through a 3% fee for credit card payments which these days with the predominance of card payments seems like something that could be priced into the experience rather than added to the bill.

The calamari is also good, featuring a light, crispy breading but was not greasy. Instead of a mix of body and tentacles, they serve large, tender chunks of squid cut into clean squares, making it so approachable that even picky eaters with a limited palate won't be turned off by it. Service was attentive with water getting filled at the right moments. Would be back to try their other items.

Kids chicken tenders- Fresh battered chunks of chicken and fries Kids fish & chips- fresh and perfectly seasoned and battered. Cioppino- Generous portion of protein in a light and flavorful broth. This came with a side of squash, swiss chard, and rice. The rice was just a tad under but still edible. Linguini calamari & clams- Plenty of fresh seafood in a light lemon sauce. Well done!!

If you ask the locals for a non touristy place to eat, this is it! We've had breakfast and lunch here. You cannot go wrong with any of their menu options. The people working here are down to earth and friendly. We normally will ask them for recommendations. We enjoy their Classic BLT's, the Meatball sandwich, the Hot Pastrami, and the Cobb Salad. As far as breakfast is concerned, we love their chicken fried steak, Denver Omelette, French Toast, and pancakes. Overall, a great local restaurant with years of experience. The food is delicious and the employees make you feel welcomed. We will have to come for dinner next time!

I'm sorry but I didn't found anything special in their food or menu…read more Egg Benedict same to any other placer, I know is a classic but flavor wise aren't in the good side, Hollandaise sauce tu much lemon. Country potato arrived as we order crispy but no onion, no bell pepper.... Just potato French toast , you can innovate a lot with this dish, but thin slices of whole wheat bread for a French toast? If you looking for something healthy to eat, you don't going to order French toast . The good in this dish the orange sauce. Portions are generous and price fair. The place really needs a good face lifting and cleaning. Most of the time you can see how clean is the place when you use the restroom.....and wasn't clean........... Best overall Rhonda our server, she was very nice, talking with us, checking our table and refilling coffee very often. Great job Rhonda, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Unfortunately I do not coming back to this restaurant if I'm around the area.

We then ordered the Cesar salad and the waiter heard us talking about how we loved the anchovies and brought us over extra! We each ordered one of the amazing specials and my fish with truffle ravioli was DIVINE!!! They also have a fabulous wine list and amazing desserts. The cannolis are made in house and sooo good! There is plenty of parking in the lot. The bathrooms are pristine. The ambiance of this spot is just stunning! Perfect for a romantic date night and it has that quaint, high end, intimate Italian restaurant vibe that truly makes you feel like you're on a getaway in Italy. I can't recommend this place enough and I am very excited to go back and try more of their delicious dishes!

Unfortunately a bit overrated…read more I came to Gianni's with a large group (nine people) and didn't love our experience. When we arrived on the Fourth of July, it was very busy. There were no tables available that would fit our party. We walked around the restaurant a few times until we saw the back section that had a few large tables. There was a reserved sign for this section but nobody seated there. We asked if they had it reserved for a party or another large group but the employee curtly replied "just go sit there." There were some racks and trays spread out throughout the tables that we ended up rearranging ourselves while the others in our group placed our order at the counter. The staff at the register definitely weren't the friendliest which was a little disappointing. I hope their curtness was due to it being busy. I wasn't necessarily thrilled with the food either. The pizzas tasted good but were super impractical. They were not sliced all the way through and the toppings were the consistency of soup. As soon as we would rip off a slice, all of the toppings would slide right off. The only thing that was left was the dough with some sauce. We had to literally scoop all the toppings up with forks because everything was so soupy and soggy. Their soda machine had really good, crisp soda though! I loved the interior of this restaurant. The decor feels very nostalgic, with the checkboard table clothes and sky-painted ceilings. There is a small bar with TVs and ice cream sold at the entrance. I'd like to give Gianni's another shot!

Food and drinks were okay at best. The $20 "top shelf" margarita was just sour mix in a tall glass (ABSOLUTE RED FLAG) -- no agave, no fresh lime, not worth it and not a real margarita just sugar water. The $58 halibut special was oddly flavored (sweet, balsamic, horseradish) with nothing else standing out, and the calamari was floppy with sauce that tasted like it was about to turn.
