What a lovely little hidden gem. Had a birthday meal here and the food and service were spot on. We arrived slightly earlier than our reservation but we were still seated straight away. Hot, tasty and good sized portions. We shared a couple of starters and the Whitebait was a standout, absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be coming back again soon.
What a great little place! Not sure about the reviews saying there was no atmosphere, the place was bouncing when we were there. It was so loud you could hardly talk, but it was all people chatting and having fun. Good menu, service is by a proper Italian so you can speak Italian if you wish, food was great with really well cooked seafood so no complaints at all. We had 3 courses plus limoncello, which we don't often do, so it gives you an idea how nice the food was. Would definitely recommend, and we've been to Primavera a few times, so food wise, this definitely ranks up there even if Primavera may seem decorated better inside. Go, experience and make up your own mind 🙂
We had our Christmas dinner with colleagues from work and it was an absolute perfect night. From starter to dessert, the food was amazing, so tasty, so fresh, hot and the portions were very generous. The staff was very friendly and the serving was fast as well. It was first time dinning at this restaurant, but we will surely come back. Highly recommend!
The most delicious food .very busy noisy restaurant which I enjoyed.
It has been so long since our last visit at Gianni’s but yesterday night we finally managed to go back.
The menu offers a wide choice of dishes: pasta, chicken, veal, amazing fillets and fish. We had one of the starters on the Specials board, the fried courgette flowers, but also the mix of fried seafood, then we opted for two fillets and a profiterole to share as dessert.
Would definitely recommend and hopefully we’ll be back sooner this time!
Found this little place via Google! Didn't look much from outside but it didn't disappoint. There was quite a big party in, but they found a table for us. They asked us to move to fit in another party and gave us free drinks for moving ☺️ food was delicious. Small restaurant but great atmosphere, would definitely recommend.
Absolutely beautiful food. Unfortunately my little boy dropped poorly not long after getting there so couldn't enjoy as much as we wanted to. But was absolutely amazing food. We are from West Yorkshire and was visiting down there, we couldn't get booked in to a local pub for food with the rest of our family as they didn't have a table bigger than 4, we drove to another place as we was told on the phone they take walk ins, to get there and be told they don't and have no spaces. Driving around we googled Italian and found this little gem of a place. Rang up and they got us in straight away. We are very specific with our Italian, we only go to one Italian over by ourselves and have not found any other that beats it or tastes up to their standard, but this place did. It was absolutely gorgeous!!
First time coming here as a pre-wedding meal. As we was a medium sized group of 9 we paid a deposit of £10 each. The food took a little while to come but everything is cooked fresh and delivered with exuberance. 110% will come back again. I've been to many independent Italian restaurants across the country and this is one of the best.
A great italian restaurant overall. Very affordable dishes that will definely keep you full (we had pasta). The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.
Lovely food, and good atmosphere. It's relatively small, so it's best to book in advance! Fast service, would definitely recommend!!
A cosy Italian restaurant with a really good range of interesting and delicious dishes. My gluten free requirements were met with a very strong assurance that I could have pretty well anything on the menu.
Staff were very knowledgeable and efficient, as well as welcoming and friendly.
An unassuming restaurant that really impressed us indeed.
Good food and polite servers.
Atmosphere felt appropriate for a nice meal, perhaps with family or a date, but did not really suit a solo dining experience.
Service was reasonable but I wasn’t blown away.
Most diners seemed to have a reservation so I would recommend calling ahead.
Very good Italian restaurant! See food, pasta and fish are its specialities. The chef is Italian and cooks the food really at the Italian way. Tagliolini with sea bass and Tuna with tomato and olives were unbelievable delicious.
Food was great with a good choice of Italian food including vegetarian options. Cheerful friendly staff
Had a delicious meal with family, great food and wine, and the service was very, very good. Wonderful place to relax and really enjoy a meal.
Really Lovely place. Staff are very warm and welcoming, food is FANTASTIC.
I had the risotto, my partner had the steak, both dishes were fabulous, cooked to perfection.
You've got to try the chocolate mousse, it's delicious.
Had a lovely evening, with superb food and wine.
Would highly recommend.
And will be returning when visiting Cheltenham again.
Great food, lovely staff, would have been a lovely relaxing atmosphere, if it wasn't for the loud mouthed female customer who was clearly out on a Christmas party night. She insisted on making herself heard with her annoying laugh and booming voice which was clearly disturbing all the other customers in the restaurant and not just myself.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
