Gianni’s Italian Restaurant (Pompano Beach)
***** Gianni’s Italian Restaurant, 1601 East Atlantic Boulevard, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060 (954) 942-1733
I have been stuffing my face at Gianni’s for years. I don’t know how long this Southern Italian Joint has been in business, but my best guess is 20-25 years.
Just so we are straight on something, Gianni’s isn’t in the same league of let’s say, a Matteo’s or Saratoga, but it is an absolutely terrific Italian restaurant. The food is terrific. The service is terrific. The prices are no more expensive than your favorite neighborhood joint. Gianni’s is open for lunch and dinner. If I were you, I would make a reservation, as the joint is always packed in the evenings.
Gianni’s is one of my favorite South Florida Italian Restaurants. This joint’s enormous garlic rolls are a meal all by themselves. Don’t miss this one.


My accountant’s office is right down the street from Gianni’s so I have eaten lunch here many times over the years. The food is always delicious and priced right. I especially like the chicken on the bone cacciatore.
Glad to see that jeffeats.com is backup and working. Just love your unbiased reports. On Gianni’s—great food. Have been going here for years and have always loved it.
based on this glowing recommendation my wife, sister and brother-in-law made a reservation for dinner this past saturday night. got there. place was totally filled but our 8:15 reservation was honored right on time. service excellent. sorry, but the food is just average. nothing bad, but nothing really great.just thought you’d like to know.

first time at gianni’s last night. one of the best veal marsalas that i have ever eaten. you could cut the veal with a fork it was that tender. amazing softball sized garlic rolls. the place was packed by a saturday 8pm reservation was honored right on time. gianni the owner came by the table three times to check on us. one other thing i have never seen so many italians in one place except on the sopranos tv series. everyone at least looked italian. good enough for those folks who am i to quibble.
really loved gianni’s

i agree, consistently good.
Dinner last night. Had an 8pn reservation yet we werent seated to 8:45. Food was as good as ever with the garlic rolls being fabulous.
Giannis is a Pompano Beach landmark restaurant!! Coming up on thirty years!!!! Great food and service!!!! From the garlic rolls( best in Florida) to there salad with the house garlic dressing with cheese, nothing but the best. There best dishes are the chicken pram, mussels marinara, ossa bucco, and any veal dish. Don’t decide on your entree until you’ve heard the specials. Some of the best value and food for lunch also. On Friday and Saturdays nights,you’d better have reservations,cause your going to have a wait. But the best food is worth waiting for!!!!! Have a glass of wine and enjoy the night!!!!:-)
Definitely one of the best in S Fl.
Been eating there for years and they have always pleased.
