My wife and I went to Gianna Via's on 1/13/13 for a date night. We were seated with no wait and drinks/menus were brought promptly. We ordered the garlic bread pizza for an appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised at how big the portion was. We actually only ate half and took the rest home. I ordered the prime rib salad and my wife ordered the chicken marsala. I also ordered a large yeungling draft, but the waitress was nice enough to point out that they were running a special on another size, which saved us some money on the bill.
The food came and we were not disappointed. The salad was large and had quality greens, no iceberg lettuce. The meat was also good, as were the dressing and other toppings. My wife's marsala was not a huge portion, but it tasted great and was very filling.
The experience was great until it came time for the bill. We had been finished eating for approximately 30 minutes and our waitress had not returned. She had been given a large table and was preoccupied with taking care of them. After another 15 minutes, I went to the bar to ask for takeout boxes and went to the hostess table to get our bill. They had to track down our waitress so that we could pay (I think the owner had to track her down). We were able to then pay, but nobody really apologized for the wait or offered anything in return.
Overall the restaurant is a great value and a nice atmosphere with great quality food. I was just disappointed in how long it took to get our bill and pay. We will definitely return again.
