| - I'm updating my review and giving Gianna Via's only 3 stars bc they are just ok, not A-OK.
This is a new restaurant and I truly believe the kitchen is just working the kinks out. All the elements are there for Gianna Via's to be a very good restaurant, but they have not come together yet.
The food is good. It's alright. Nothing to complain about but I'd compare it's current quality to Eat 'n Park. It's good. You won't hate it.
My sister is a vegetarian and ordered the Tuscan panini. As she's a vegetarian, she tends to look for items not including meat on the menu. It was not a happy surprise when the Tuscan panini came out with chicken on it. She's not a vegan, so she ate it anyway and said it was alright. She ate only half of it, and we took the left overs home. My father said he went to reheat the panini for lunch, and the half that my sister hadn't eaten had a hair in it.
My brother in law had the steak salad which he seemed to love.
My father had the pasta diavolo (diablo) which he enjoyed. Both my brohter in law and fathers LERVE their food and are not picky eaters.
My sister and I are a bit more discerning. I had the salmon, and for the price I felt it wasn't great. I'm almost certain that it was reheated frozen salmon, not fresh. It was still pretty good, cooked just right to where it flakes and is still rare in the center.
The service was...ok. Having waited tables myself I take into consideration things like this being a NEW restaurant still finding its legs when I review the service. Our waitress was clearly having an AWFUL day. The kind of awful day where she was ALL OVER THE PLACE and very forgetful.
Our drinks came out right away, but we were starving and we had to track her down and beg her to bring us the bread they bring to the tables. When she brought our bread, it was frozen in the middle. I'm not going to get mad about FREE BREAD, so we just waited (a long time) and flagged her down for new bread. When she brought our second loaf out she said, "I grabbed a loaf that's been sitting around for awhile so I'm sure it won't be frozen." I guess they make frozen bread in the oven, but I still wouldn't tell a customer that their loaf had been sitting around for awhile.
The service was slow, we had to ask for our entrees and we had to ask for our checks. I'm pretty sure this was our waitresses first time serving tables. While the service was slow, she was really nice.
I say, give Gianna Via's a try, I really think that the food will continue to improve once this restaurant reaches its stride.
I'd also suggest vegetarians avoid ordering the Tuscan panini, or at least be sure to ask your server for confirmation your intended entree does not include meat.
