Gianni's Ristorante Italiano

We ate this wonderful meal that they had posted on a billboard out side. I wish I knew what it was called they took this big thing of cheese and lit it on fire and did all kinds of things and then had a pan of pasta and pour that in it and mixed it all up and then serviced our plates with it I wish they made that here in the US but if you ever find out what the name of it is let me know Aruba is a long ways to go eat some of that..

We had a great experience at this restuarant. Our food was good and it was a nice change of pace from the other food we had in Aruba. Our waitress was very friendly and had a great personality.

It is a little more pricey than an Olive Garden without the delicious bread sticks. If I returned to Aruba, I would definitely come back.

The food was ok....a little better than Olive Garden, but not quality Italian. Our server was fast in coming over to our table, but we felt he was rude and arrogant. Believe it or not, we felt rushed to put in our order, eat our food, and leave. We will not be back.

I'm shocked at these reviews. We LOVED Gianny's. Our extended family of 10 from NYC went twice the week we were there. The portions are small if you are used to american super-sized everything. However we were all full and had a little left-over. We all loved our food.

This is what I just sent to Gianni's
We dinned at your restaurant twice between May 5th - May 12th.

The first night we ate there the food & service was very good -- we had Shrimp Cocktail, Fried Calamari, Mussels ( for appetizers ) & Lobster over Pasta ( special ), Seafood with Pasta for dinner

The second night we were extremely disappointed. Since we enjoyed the Mussels the first night, 2 of us order them again, however, they were completely different than the first night. These were green, big and very tough to eat. We told Shannon ( he was our server -- I think I have his name correct ), and he said Yes, we are out of the small black ones and this is what we have. That was a unaccepted answer. Also, 2 of us order Scampi Gianni. When the meal came, we had 10 extremely SMALL SHRIMP ( not jumbo like the menu states ) which were hard and tasteless. Also, Shannon was SO BUSY, that we had to wave down anyone who past our table for additional drink's and water.

Scampi Gianni…..$27.50
Sautéed wild caught jumbo shrimps in fresh tomato sauce
with a touch of cream over bed of spaghetti



I'm writing to you with the hope that this experience could be rectified.

Thanks

Food, service, ambiance, was all very good. This was a nice experience. This is better than your sister restaurant. The staff was exceptional! Should do something about the bathroom.

My wife and I have been to Aruba every year now for the past 14 years. On Wednesday nite 4/20 we along with my daughter,son-in-law and grand kids ate at this restaurant. I will not return. The food was not good, and was way over priced for what it was. Pasta was fresh "out of the box" and sauce just awful. We had six different entrees and they were all bad.

Having visited 7 reputable Restaurants on our 7 day trip to Aruba last week we have to say our least favorite was Gianni's. Our big Italian family (8 of us) were less than impressed with our main courses. Appetizers and salad were very good, however portions were small. Unfortunately 4 of us rushed back to our hotel rooms due to upset stomach shortly after. I'm thinking it was the food quality. Next time we'll skip this place

Hi there, I'm not a food critic i come from New York i was down in Aruba for 2weeks with my family had as always a great experience in Aruba.
What i don't understand why they advertise so much this place, during my stay i went 2 times both where bad and i still when i ask at the hotels or taxi driver they want to send us there why this?? when the food if you love Italian food i mean real Italian food home made style, this is not your place, the food does not even have taste at all no color no texture, sure the place is beautiful attractive and the smell you get before getting there is just to die for you think the food is going to be excellent when you see the place packed, to tell you the truth not even olive garden tastes this bad, and olive garden is nothing from good, there are plenty of other Italian restaurant that offer much better food around the island for example one that we went 5 times in our stay was Hostaria Da Vittorio the food there is just incredible!with his master chef Vittorio the food seems like your at home eating moms pasta! sure sometimes its crowded and your food can take a will but when you get the food it will melt in your mouth!! a must go when in Aruba in front of Hyatt and the pizzas are to die for! best on the island.... also another good OK Italian restaurant is sole mare cozy small but at leas better food than Giannis thank you very much hope this is a good information, I'm not saying not go to this restaurant but go and taste the other 2 i mention and see the difference

gianni's is so good. Me and my family had such a good time food was amazing service was good and a nice wine menu and restaurant is very clean we had a awesome dinner and that burata got to try that a lil bit pricey but its worth it. Very good team of cycle they got there to get that massive restaurant running and my waiter ryan he's awesome too very good. Good job keep it up
