My family and I came here on a Wednesday night and thank goodness we had made a reservation because this place was packed! And rightfully so because Gianni’s is amazing! This is definitely going to be our go-to Italian restaurant from now on. The garlic knots and bread come first and they are incredible. Not pictured is the large fresh salad that comes with your entree. We ordered the chicken Gianni special, linguine with white clam sauce, penne vodka with chicken and veal Parmesan. Everything was so delicious and reasonably priced considering the massive portions you receive. And last but certainly not least, our server Bill was awesome! He was super attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to go back! 2 months later: Back again!! We had yet another delicious meal… chicken Francese and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. This place does not disappoint!

We had a great experience with John as our server. We had chicken parmigiana and eggplant parmigiana as well as an amazing dessert. Everything was tasty and well prepared and to be honest we had to take half of our dinner home as the portions were enormous. Can’t wait to go back again.

Last night’s dinner was at Gianni’s. I’ve eaten there many, many times over the years and they have always proven to be above the majority of their Italian restaurants competitors — that is not to say that they are the best, though. They are a family owned and operated restaurant since 1988. They provide home-style cooked Italian cuisine made fresh in the restaurant (except for the pasta) and they even bake their own fresh bread that is offered complimentary (a basket full of warm rolls fresh out of the oven, doused in oil and garlic, plus a full loaf of Italian bread that is perfect to dunk-in their delicious soups, wine gravy, or marinara sauce. All entrees come with a house salad made of whole Romain lettuce leaves laid down, chopped tomatoes, and their own homemade Italian dressing topped with blue cheese crumbles (you can substitute the salad for a small bowl of soup (a moderate up-charge applies). Every dish on their menu is abundantly generous. We began with the pasta Fagioli soup. Our server left us enough time to enjoy our Dunkin’ bread and soup. About 15 min later, our entrées arrived; nice and hot were the veal Francese, a plateful of huge manicotti, and I had their signature Gianni’s chicken roulade (a softball size made of 2-chicken breasts stuffed with a spinach and cheese mixture wrapped in a flour and eggs batter, and deep fried to perfection and served with a mushroom and red wine brown sauce (not Marsala wine). Right before our entrées were served, I notice the order brought to our neighbor table, a heaping serving of calamari the size of a wristwatch band. Outstanding! (I couldn’t take a photo but that will be “next time for me”, for sure). Food is excellent, portions are ample, and prices are moderate $30-35/person not including alcoholic drinks, tax, and gratuity).

This is a busy place, and you'll need reservations! However, we were impressed from start to finish with the bread, appetizer, and meals! Excellent! I highly recommend taking time out of your vacation or evening to come here at least once!

I have to say that I was so impressed. I made reservations for my husbands birthday 🎂 and they treated us like a king and queen 👑. The service was amazing and the the food tasted like heaven! I high recommend this place if you want to make an impression. I will be coming back and spreading the word for sure! Love this place!!!

Food was amazing! Would come again on occasions. For the people who can't spend too much, and don't have that much money on hand, I wouldn't recommend this place. Food and drinks, and desserts if you have a sweet tooth, come at a slight price. Amazing deal for the money! Amazing family-run business!

I went to Gianni’s Italian Restaurant in Pompano Saturday night with another couple. I have eaten there a few times and this restaurant never disappoints. It was packed as usual but we only waited for about 10 minutes. The service was great. The food is outstanding. Huge portions that probably can be shared. Three of us had the chicken parmigiana which was delicious and it comes with your choice of pasta and a wedge salad with a homemade dressing. Our friend had the veal Marsala which was loaded with mushrooms and he said it was excellent. I forgot to mention the garlic rolls and the homemade bread that was amazing as well. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is such a treat.

I like to keep my reviews honest so I'll tell you they deserve 5stars when it comes to service here. The reason I'm giving 4 stars was because I was not thrilled with my food. But let's start with the good. We were warmly welcomed upon entering. And sat right away. Unfortunately I can not remember the name of the lovely lady who welcomed us. We were immediately greeted by our server Laura. She was great. Since it was our first time here Laura was great at explaining everything to us. The warm garlic bread was delicious, the salads were also really good, we just wished we would have went without the blue cheese on them we didn't care for the way the flavor of their homemade balsamic mixed with the blue cheese so we just moved it aside. My fiancé ordered the lasagna and I went for the chicken française. The lasagna was delicious! I know because I tried it. Ha ha. Now for my pick I really wasn't pleased with it. It had a fishy after taste. Luckily Laura was back right away to see how we were enjoying it. I had my fiancé taste it and he agreed that it had a fishy after taste. So we went for the chicken piccata, it's one of my favorite dishes. I was sadly disappointed with it. The chicken didn't look appealing but I tried it anyhow and it just lacked flavor and the chicken looked boiled. I was hungry though so I ate my pasta and decided to take the chicken home, maybe my mom would like it. Like me she didn't think it looked appetizing so didn't even try it :( again the service was outstanding and they went as far as not charging us for the chicken plates as they knew we were disappointed with my choice. I would definitely come back here to try something else because of the service and there is so many other options that don't include chicken. And to be completely honest the chicken parmigiana looks incredible

The food here is always top-notch. Everything is so classic and quality is always superb!! I love the house salad, and it is so nice that it is included with an entree. The red sauce is delicious, which is hard to find in Florida, especially as someone from NJ with high standards for Italian food. Chicken parm and eggplant rollatini are amazing! They don’t skimp on the cheese at all, which I love. You will leave reeking of garlic in the best way possible!! Will continue to come here!!

This was actually my 2nd time here. Food & Service decent. The Bread was the Star … HOT, FRESH & Delicious. I Had the Blackened Chicken Fettuccini which was a little too salty for my tastebuds but decent. Crowded but the staff are still attentive. I’d try them a 3rd time just not the fettuccini.

Glad we made reservations here, we loved it. Pleasant experience from start to finish. Staff are busy and still made sure everyone has an excellent experience. The top notch experience sure does show how this place operates and delivers the best tasting Italian food! Thanks again ! Until next time

My parents love this restaurant, and since I was staying in the area, I was able to join them. They travel from Weston to Pompano on Sundays to frequent this place and its well worth it. Edgar is great!

Fantastic Saturday night out for dinner at Gianni’s. The restaurant had a nice touch of Italy and the service was great. Our waiter was kind, gave recommendations and attentive. The food was super delicious as well. I would recommend Gianni’s to all the locals and out of towners. You want good, authentic Italian cuisine, you come to Gianni’s.

Very good traditional Italian cuisine. Great marinara sauce, dense flavorful lasagna, and perfect buttery garlic rolls. Friendly service. Only concern was it looked a bit rundown and a little dusty inside. Building looked a bit unkept. None of this affected the food but is a bit off-putting.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. My parents and I were searching for a place and came across Gianni's just thinking would be a regular Italian experience....we were wrong. First, what a charming well designed spot! You truly feel in Italy with all wine bottles as decoration and Italian songs as a background. Second, the service is exceptional! A blond lady took care of our order and she explained the whole menu for us and gave us a suggestion to try the ricotta cheesecake which is made in the same day and I can assure was one of the best cheesecake I've ever tried in my life. My mom and I ordered eggplant parmigiana and my dad pasta with shrimp, which was cooked to the perfection. It is a bit pricey, but worth it every penny. Perfect spot for a romantic date or family gathering. Seriously, don't hesitate to visit that place!

The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star on the atmosphere was it is very crowded! Perhaps it could be arranged differently to accommodate as many people with smaller tables. As far as the special, the prices were not announced so it was a bad surprise when we got the bill. Other than that, the food was great!

Had a reservation for a party of three. Waited 30 mins in the bar for our table which was just enough time for a refreshing cocktail. Once seated we were immediately greeted and ordered wine. Warm bread arrived next and OMG it is delicious. We had Caesar’s and house salads. Both delicious. The house dressing is yummy. For entrees we had chicken parm, lasagna, and chicken Marsala. All were excellent and we would gladly order them again in the future. Outstanding service from when we entered the door until we left. What a gem this restaurant is. We always eat here during our visits.

We have been here many times and this is one of our favorite restaurants in the entire state of Florida! The service is top notch, regardless of how busy they may be. Be sure to make reservations to prevent a very long wait, and we have found that arriving before they open at 4 on a weekend ensures you will find parking. This is an amazing gem of a restaurant & we will be back again and again ...

Great spot to get your Italian fix! The Mrs & I came a long way & this is better than any place back home! Get the meatballs as an app, goes great with the garlic rolls. I could go on & on about this place, just put it on your list of places to eat.

Update after 2nd visit: My first time eating at Gianni's was, well you can read about it in detail below. I thought I found Italian heaven right here in SoFlo. After looking forward to returning and having another perfect meal experience, I was shocked at the difference in literally everything. Whereas the service was (I think I used the word impeccable) the first time we went, tonight the waitress made me feel like I was taking her away from something. She was the opposite of attentive, polite, and hospitable. The food (other than the bread) was quite a few levels below our last visit. The spaghetti had watery sauce with chunks of tomatoes. The meatballs had "pieces" of something in them that was not chewable. The veal was good but not as thin as I like or or asked for. Goes to show you, you must experience places more than once to see what they're consistent at. May return, but certainly not as excited to as I was before tonight. Not a 5 star restaurant, but maybe a 3.5 -4 Without a doubt Gianni’s may very well be the best Italian restaurant, period. Aside from them being overbooked and us having to wait a bit, every aspect of my dining experience was superb. The food, from the delicious and generous bread basket they provide every table, to their beyond words meatball appetizer, to simply the most tender and generous veal parmigiana this ex-New Yorker has ever had, right up to the final cappuccino was worth every cent of their finer restaurant prices. The service was equally beyond expectations (and that was with a packed house to boot). I’m just so sorry that it took me all these years to find Gianni’s, but they’ve made a customer of me for life. Hands down the best Italian food you’ll find, possibly anywhere! My advice, try it, I promise you won’t be sorry.

The service was a amazing the constantly and proactively engage there customers the food is great aswell real high end authentic Italian food with a extensive menu anything from Italian cuisine u can think Off it's restaurant that you can say is a hidden gem the only that's lack luster is the setting and scenery

Real Deal Italian!!! Highly Recommend Everything on the menu is fantastic. Garlic rolls are top notch. Salad is a palate cleanser. The entrees are humongous. 10/10

Good food and good service, but a noisy place. A different take on a house salad (romaine with blue cheese crumbles and vinegary dressing). I had an enormous, and tasty, lamb shank for my main course which I couldn't finish. Service was friendly, helpful and efficient. Would definitely return if I'm back in the area.

This place absolutely nails it! We went back to back nights because it was so good. From the standard chicken parm, to the veal chops, to a linguine with white clam sauce, each dish was delicious and great quality. Worth every penny. The veal was tender and prepared / cooked perfectly! The garlic rolls are to die for. Probably one of the top 3 I've ever had. The right density and amount of crispness. Topped with garlic butter...oh yeah! Even the salad was spot on. A sprig of romaine with an amazing dressing and crumbled blue cheese. The balsamic had low acidity and worked well with the other ingredients. This is a definite must try Italian restaurant! You won't be disappointed! Danielle and Helen behind the bar were first rate for service and casual conversation.

Amazing food!! Good wine offerings by the waitress, attentive staff, and most of all amazing food. The garlic knots alone are worth coming back for. The house salad was also a must!! And both dishes we had were amazing.

Of course Giannis doesn’t need another 5 star review because they’ve been in business for 35 years. Their food is authentic & the atmosphere is warming. The food they’ve been cooking & serving for this many years makes you feel like you are in Italy. The weight staff is on point, especially our server, Edgar. Giannis is a true Pompano gem.

Delicious family style Italian cuisine. The garlic rolls were some of the best I’ve ever had and the overall quality of the food is amazing. You can tell this restaurant has been a local favorite for many years.

Cool location at Versace manor and a great experience. The property is gorgeous and loved the decorations and some of the original furniture and rooms. Our server was top notch and provided exquisite service. I had the truffled scallops and WOW, they had thinly sliced truffles on top of each scallop. South beach is quite an experience!!

Birthday Lunch We started with the lovely house salad with fresh bread and garlic rolls. Entrees were chicken marsala and lasagna .
