Gianni's is nicely decorated and lit, but any romance or 'peaceful' dining is lost in the excessive noise level. Place is badly in need of acoustic insulation. As for the food, enjoyed both our appetizers: Muscles in wonderfully seasoned tomato sauce was some of the best I've had; and the Roasted Eggplant topped with parmesian cheese and tomato sauce was also quite tasty. Main Courses were hit and miss. The 'hit' was the seared duck breast with polenta and portable mushrooms which was tender and delicious. But, the grilled Pork Chops served in supposed Chianti sauce and garlic was a definate 'miss' -- overcooked and tough, and even worse grossly oversalted (both sauce and chops). Couldn't even taste the chianti or garlic over the saltiness. What happened to quality control by the Chef? Might go back if I had nearby Theatre Tix, but otherwise wouldn't go out of my way.

Loved this place,very warm and welcoming. Service was unobtrusive but very attentive. The food was excellent, and the owner Gianni Delisi personally brought our entrees to us, which we thought was a nice touch.Try the Conchiglie del Mercante: Crumbled Italian sausage, mushrooms, fresh tomato sauce, scamorza cheese, my husband practically floated away in sheer bliss after sampling it. Reasonably priced and fairly extensive wine list with quite a few wines by the glass. We'll definitely visit again!
