Gianni - Meriden

First time trying this place.Went there craving beef tips in marsala sauce, but they didn't have tips (not their fault, they were just opening for the day and the meat shipment was running late), so we substituted with a regular steak with the same sauce.The interior is small but more beautiful than I expected with a nice atmosphere.My server was a lovely woman, the table bread was excellent, my steak was a bit thin, but cooked perfectly and the sauce more than made up for it (soooooo good), and for the price I was pleased.I'll definitely be going back in the future.

We haven’t been to Gianni’s for a very long time, but returned tonight. It’s time to make this one of our regular outings again. The food and service both are top shelf!!! It was great to see a hostess we recognized from “way back when”. The chef has a knack for food preparation and seasoning, and I’m sure you’ll develop a list of favorites. Give this place a shot.

I wasnt going to post this but...My husband attended here on business and loved the food so my family and I went there on May 27th at 7pm and before we could reach the door we were met by the bus boy saying that they were closed- Which in fact they didn't close until 9:30 that nightMy husband asked why? and he couldn't give us a straight answerMy husband then said but it says you close at 9:30pm why are you closing now- No reply just closed the doorYes there were people inside- I'm still trying to figure out why(it was 5 of us)So we left and went to Ameci in Middletown where we were welcomed by the hostess sat down and ate some delicious food

Ok so after reading some positive facebook comments-we went tonight to order and take a pizza to go. Well lets just say we were pleasantly surprised with the inside. So quaint and a great Friday night date night feel. We ended up dining in. Bread and oil dip omg amazing. Rhode island clam chowder amazing! Carbonara was delicious and my husband got the peppered ribeye. For an Italian spot the steak was not horrible and the portion was big. Their prices are very reasonable and we both have leftovers. Our waitress was fabulous- i wish i could remember her name- but i will definitely catch it next time. Thanks everyone for the comments- we just moved to the area . This is a great find.
