A pleasant restaurant, Gianni affords a relaxing environment through its dimly lit tables and serene setting.
Owner/chef Gianni Favro presents a menu that explores a broad range of recipes highlighting his Italian expertise with each dish evoking his pride in serving patrons great home cooking in satisfying portions. Lobster bisque with a dash of cognac is generous with the lobster chunks but is still a tasty, light appetiser. For two people, try smoked salmon millefeuille; strong in presentation and taste, the salmon and cream cheese present an exceptional combination with the crispy pastry, making every bite enjoyable with or without the cucumber coulis. Pasta lovers will applaud the chef’s bold match of ingredients as he blends garganelli with truffles, fresh prawn and pumpkin. Baked lasagna is packed with a mixture of bolognese, bechamel, and parmesan cheese while black home-made spaghetti is complemented with clams, prawn and green asparagus. A must-try is lamb shank braised in red wine, chopped vegetables and grilled polenta; the aromatic osso bucco sauce enhanced by wine keeps the lamb’s texture tender. Fish lovers will enjoy the grilled salmon with a wine sauce or the baked fillet of red snapper prepared with cherry tomatoes, celery, and olives. For dessert, tiramisu is a must-try for the sweet tooth fanatic.
Wine offers a five-page selection of some of the best red and whites from different regions of Italy. The list is changed on a monthly basis to keep the wine varieties constantly updated.
