Food was excellent and portions were huge! Enjoyed the salad and bread as well as chicken franchese and parmigiana. Very busy in a Sunday night, waited about 1/2 hour with a reservation. Service was very good! Crowded but fun vibe.

We sat outside and glad we did. Inside dining is crowded and loud. The dinner choices are many and completely varied. We had red snapper, branzino and veal Marsala along with a bottle of wine. Service from our waiter Nick was perfect. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Starting the new year off with a five-star review. This restaurant has been on my bucket list forever. I had an opportunity to have lunch here a while back and it was delicious. The restaurant faces Atlantic Ave, but the main entrance is in the back of the building, along with a lot where you can park. Parking is free and the restaurant doesn't offer valet. The garlic rolls are huge and insanely good, and they were the best I've had in a long time. We started off with the baked clams oreganata. I love baked clams and these were delicious. Our meals came with a salad that was topped with blue cheese crumbles and a tangy vinaigrette. The salad is practically a meal in itself, so next time I will pack it up to take home. I believe at night the salad has romaine lettuce and during lunch they use iceberg. I am not positive about this, but regardless, the lunch salad is delicious. My Veal Pizzaiola was excellent. The veal was tender and prepared in a terrific red sauce and it came with spaghetti. I went home with so much food! They have a great lunch menu that's reasonably priced. The portions are generous and they use quality ingredients. Giannis is an upscale family owned and operated Italian restaurant that's been in business since 1989. They started in New York and they are serving authentic homemade Italian food. The tables are very close together and the dining room is loud. The food and service are top notch. Typically I try to stay away from very noisy restaurants, but I loved it here so I will 100% come back. When we arrived for an early lunch it wasn't that busy or loud, but when we left the restaurant was packed and very loud. Highly recommend and don't forget to make a reservation. Enjoy!
