    Having enjoyed our first visit a few weeks ago we had high expectations. Sadly the restaurant did not deliver . Pre dinner drinks were small, the margaritas had to be remade and overall disappointing. The meal was ok but the veal Milanese was too salty and the salad insipid with over ripe tomatoes. But the main disappointment was the poor service. Not attentive, left waiting too long etc. We love the setting and we need a good Italian restaurant in the ‘hood. Let’s hope it was just an off day.

    We had a superb meal and really loved what has been done to the restaurant. The service was excellent and the manager is friendly and very good at explaining all that the restaurant has to offer.

    Lovely ambience. Someone has spent a fortune. Beautiful outside bar and soft sitting area. I’ve now been twice but today the service was poor. Not on the food but in bringing drinks. Three times we had to ask for a new bottle of wine BUT that happened twice. There were 6 of us and we ended up getting through three bottles. We were later charged for four. It was busy but they struggled to cope. On our first visit all ok but restaurant was much quieter. However food was really good. And we will definitely go again. Guys just sort the service out and you will have a top restaurant.

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thank you for your feedback and for visiting us twice! We're thrilled you love the ambience, the beautiful outside bar, and the soft seating area, and that you found the food really good. We understand it was busy, but struggling to cope is not the experience we aim for. We’re addressing staff training and organization to ensure smoother service, especially during peak times. We’d love to make this right. Looking forward to welcoming you back to a top restaurant! Gianni

    As you see I marked you down 1 star on the service. Because the service was poor because it’s not very well organised you have more than enough staff but need organised to be more attentive especially !! if you need more wine replenishing 😩 Other than that excellent food and surroundings.

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear the service felt disorganized and not attentive enough, especially with wine replenishment—that’s not the experience we aim for. We appreciate your kind words about the excellent food and surroundings! We’re addressing staff coordination and training to ensure a more attentive experience moving forward. Please reach out directly so we can make your next visit even better. Hope to see you soon!

    Nice place, tasty food. Tiny portions of pasta. Tbf they did bring both me and my 12 year old a second portion after complaining

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the nice place and tasty food. We’re sorry to hear the pasta portions felt small, but we’re happy we could address it by bringing second portions for you and your 12-year-old. We’ll review our portion sizes to ensure a more satisfying experience. Hope to see you back for another tasty visit! Gianni

    We love this restaurant. The starters are insane to the extent you might not want a main course. The team are great. Service can be a bit slow because it’s so popular

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thank you for the love! We're thrilled you’re crazy about our starters and enjoy the team’s vibe. Sorry about the slower service due to the popularity—we’re working to keep things snappy! Hope to see you back soon for more deliciousness. Gianni

    6/10

    I had a nice dinner at Gianni. The food was good and the portions were fine, not too small, not overly generous. The atmosphere was enjoyable and the service was decent. That said, for the price, I was expecting a bit more in terms of either presentation, flavor complexity, or overall wow factor. It wasn’t a bad experience by any means, just not quite as impressive as the cost might suggest. A decent spot, but not exceptional.

    My first visit to Gianni and certainly not the last … The food, service and service was impeccable and very polite waiting staff. No pressure from anyone to rush you through your meal. A great lounge area to enjoy a pre dinner drink or cocktail and afterwards for dessert or coffee. Decoration is very well designed. A great evening for sure. Well done all at Gianni … Bravi Tutti !

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thank you for the fantastic review of your first visit to Gianni!

    Great Food and Service but the most uncomfortable chairs I’ve experienced in a Restaurant, They need new pads for seat and back or , better still , get rid and buy some decent ones .A real shame as this is a welcome addition to a very competitive market

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thanks for the feedback! Thrilled you loved the food and service. Sorry about the uncomfortable chairs—we’re working on fixing that. Hope to see you back soon for a better experience! Gianni

    5.5/10

    Service was terrible. We waited over 3 Hours for our main course. No proper apology and not even a goodwill gesture. Told over 1 hour after ordering that the mussels were no longer available. Wine wasn’t topped up at any point, We had to help ourselves. Had high hopes but sorely disappointed. Such a shame as food was actually excellent when it finally arrived. Sadly all too little too late by then…..

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the disappointing experience. The wait for your main course, the delay in communicating about the unavailable mussels, and the lack of attention to your wine service are unacceptable and far below our standards. We also regret that no proper apology or goodwill gesture was offered. While we’re glad you found the food excellent when it arrived, we understand it was too late to salvage the experience. We’re reviewing our kitchen and service processes to ensure this doesn’t happen again. To clarify, we always have a manager on-site, but we’re unaware of this issue being raised directly with them at the time, which could have allowed us to address it immediately. We’d love to make this right—please contact us directly to discuss a way to restore your trust. We hope to welcome you back for a much better experience. Gianni

    Great quality food (and generous sizes), very friendly staff who all spoke fluent English (special mention to Maria who greeted us at the door and made us feel very welcome - she deserves a pay rise!) and amazing decor and ambience. The background music is very well chosen and at a perfect sound level - not too low and not to loud. It's not cheap, but I would return for more special occasions on a warm summer night.

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the food and the warm welcome from our friendly staff—big shoutout to Maria for making you feel so at home! We're thrilled you loved the decor, ambience, and perfectly balanced background music. It's great to hear it all came together for a memorable experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for more special summer nights! Gianni

    Lovely outside space with a terrace for drinks and dining. Good choice of cocktails and a big menu. The food was delicious on every level and the service was great. We’re not rushed off our table which makes for a nice dining experience. The vibe was really nice with background music but not too loud. I’m sure this place will be very popular in no time. Can’t wait to go back.

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thank you for the wonderful review! We're happy that you enjoyed the terrace, the food, and great cocktail. It’s awesome to hear you loved the vibe. We’re excited to know you think we’ll be a hit—can’t wait to have you back for more! Gianni

    The food was very good. I had clams followed by ravioli with sage and ricotta. However the service was dreadful. The waitress allocated to our table just didn't listen to what the guests said and didn't even apologise. And the service was painfully slow. At the beginning, the restaurant wasn't full and there were lots of waiters / waitresses standing around doing nothing, and not paying attention to the guests at all. When we did eventually get served, I wanted to ask for a spoon, but couldn't attract any attention. All in all it was still a nice evening and we enjoyed our meal, but it was a case of despite the service and not because of it!

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your evening and hope to make your next visit even better with improved service. Please reach out so we can ensure a top-notch experience next time! Gianni

    Food is amazing! Our waitress was extremely friendly and very professional her name is Shaye. We sat outside on the Terrace which was lovely! The only critic I have is I ordered a glass of Champagne and it came in a Wine glass and NOT a Champagne Flute to which Shaye very kindly changed it into a Champagne Flute for me which I prefer!! Overall an excellent evening and I will most definitely be returning.

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thanks for the awesome review! Stoked you loved the food and the terrace vibes! Big shoutout to Shaye for being super friendly and professional, and for quickly sorting out the champagne flute swap—sorry about that mix-up with the wine glass! Can’t wait to have you back for another epic evening! Gianni

    The food was very good, terrace and interior are also high quality, BUT the music was incredibly loud so that a conversation was impossible - this is where the excellent service kicked in. The manager found us a quieter table so that we could enjoy our evening. The waitress (from Virginia) was excellent too, very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable.

    Gianni - Vale do LoboOwner

    Thanks for the great feedback! We're stoked you had a good time and that our team ensured you could enjoy your evening. Hope to see you back for more tasty vibes soon! Gianni
