| - Had a fabulous dinner at Gianni's on my first visit, definitely will not be my last. four of us went on a Saturday night, every table was full, glad we had a reservation. Started off with the antipasto tray appetizer, an amazing array of Italian meats, cheeses and marinated vegetables, highly recommend. Had a cup of Pasta Fagioli soup, another keeper! The Culinary Institute trained chef puts her own spin on the soup, had an unexpected but nice taste of sage, looking forward to my next cup. For a main course I had the sliced duck breast with a Fig reduction sauce; again amazing flavor. I sampled the other three meals and all were delicious and varied, veal, sea bass and pasta. Finished the meal with coffee and a shared cannoli because we were so stuffed, everything was amazing. The staff was attentive and focused. Plan to take some time as the meals are prepared fresh for each order.
Gianni's Trattoria and the Pizza Loft are located in the same building but are 2 completely different restaurants, the Pizza Loft upstairs is a typical NY style pizza joint, no frills beer and pizza, have not sampled yet but plan to on my next visit.
