I've eaten at Giano twice so far. Each time has been spectacular. The service is very attentive and friendly. The food is amazing. Very fresh ingredients and very well thought out menu. The restaurant is cozy and romantic and the staff makes you feel very welcome. Definitely try the Caprese Salad. By far the freshest imported mozzerella I've had!

I've been here for both dinner and brunch. Brunch food is typical, but good. The dinners are wonderful. In all cases the service is exceptional. Attentive wait staff and incredible bus boys who forse low glasses of water, unstable tables and clogged salt shakers - and fix them before they are even asked. So great! Love this place.

Lovely dinner. This restaurant is a find! We sat in the outdoor garden at night. It was soothing and romantic and lovely on a cool summer night. We were impressed with the food which was delicious, original and fresh. The red snapper was amazing. The gnudi (ricotta and spinach dumplings) was also delicious. Tiramisu dessert was generous, and easily shared. Wait staff were very attentive. I'd definitely go back!

My date and I stumbled into Giano by chance, after learning that we had to wait for a private party to end at a bar across the street. Initially not intending to eat, the atmosphere and energy of the place compelled us to give it a shot. By the end of our meal, we had completely forgotten our original plans. From beginning to end, we experienced fantastic service and a truly romantic evening. The lighting was perfect, provided by candle. Our server, Mateo, was one in a million. He took time to explain to us the restaurant's vision (a fusion of classic and contemporary), and how it has influenced the menu. The wait staff was extremely attentive without being intrusive. At one point, they even suggested moving us to a larger table to better accommodate our appetizers and bottle of wine. So thoughtful! The food came after a perfect amount of time, and was very good. Having ordered a rather heavy dish, my date was unable to finish. Our waiter, noticing that she had stopped eating, was thoughtful enough to ask is she had enjoyed her plate, and was insistent that if she didn't like it for any reason he would be happy to allow her to try something else. It was the first time in my life I'd ever had a waiter pay such close attention to detail. From beginning to end, our time at Giano was absolutely top notch. I will certainly go back in the future, if only to get another taste of what its like to enjoy a wonderful night out.

i went here with my wife and another couple on a saturday night, it was recommended by a friend who lives in the neighborhood....we all really loved the food and thought it had a fun atmosphere with good music. We loved the menu--it has 2 sides, one is more traditional choices, and the other is more new/adventerous. Each couple split a antipasti, primi, and secondi. The steak and lamb entrees were very good. I highly recommend the eggplant parm appetizer and the fussili pesto pasta. All were really great. We had a lot of wine and really liked the music. Price was very reasonable so I highly recommend Giano and plan on comming back.

Took my family and friends for a sunday night dinner, and we could not have had a better time. Paolo was a great host, very attentive and friendly, and the food was prepared beautifully and served in a reasonable time. Between 7 of us, we had Gnocci - amazing!!!, Salmon, lamb, lasagna, 2 bottles of wine, homemade pasta with mushrooms, on and on. I sampled everything, and still can't tell what I liked best! We ordered from both the contemporary as well as the traditional menus, and we sampled all of the desserts. Highly recommended and we will be back very soon!!!! The kids loved it too!

Had dinner here, and everything was wonderful from the appetizers straight through to the dessert. The eggplant appetizer was outstanding and the stuffed pork chops were divine. The portions were a nice size for the money, and left all of us feeling satisfied but not uncomfortably full. Additionally, the way the menu is divided between traditional and contemporary dishes is very innovative and was a nice touch. Also, the waitstaff was very attentive and knowledgeable our waiter was happy to explain not only what ingredients were in the dishes but how they were made. But the crown jewel of the meal was the tiramisu. Even if you don't come here for dinner, come here for dessert. We received a generous portion of tiramisu enough to split among the 4 of us and it was easily the best tiramisu I have ever had. This is a great place to bring a date or have a nice dinner with friends. Highly recommended.
