Andrea CiprianiMarch 28, 2021From an Italian: the best pasta I had in nyc. Better than many other Italian restaurants that are more expensive than Giano. Try rigatoni all'amatriciana and rigatoni with ragú truffle cheeseUpvoted 3 weeks ago
Sam WinnickNovember 3, 2016neighborhood spot. Food is amazing. Atmosphere is great, owner is classic italian guy, so friendly&makes you feel at home immediately. Get spaghetti pommodoro,MEATBALLS, chicken milanese,tiramisu.
Valerie SSeptember 23, 2018Cute back patio, super friendly staff, and delicious food. Ravioli was superb and the appetizer special — asparagus with prosciutto — was amazing.
Linda TOctober 29, 2016Everything! Try appetizer Parmesan with sugared Brûlée topping...amazing!!!!! Ravioli, fantastic. Anything you order is prepared to perfection.
Asli SApril 1, 2017Tiramisu was delicious, had a nice creamy consistency. Service was great, waitress was friendly and sweet.
Margot GNovember 30, 2015The tiramisu is fantastic. It is not too sweet and has an amazing consistency. It's also big enough to share!
HOBNOB MagazineFebruary 21, 2011friendly, noisy Italian where you meet the owners. Tagliolini w black truffle & Bottarga, Salmon w sambuca, tarragon. photos at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=140283&id=765634189&l=1d8fea56ee
Never had a bad meal. Everything is fresh and served with a smile. The owner cares and it shows.
MelApril 16, 2011Squid ink risotto - looks big but tastes so compelling u'll inhale it. Orange soy glazed pork was really tender and delicious too. For a light-ish dessert, go for the chocolate napoleon.
Mita M.January 6, 2014Paolo is a terrific host. Delicious pastas cooked to perfection, great texture. Even the simple spaghetti pomodoro is divine.
WendyAugust 21, 2013Pasta dishes here taste like they are fresh made. I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli and meatballs, both were really good!
Aleigh RosenthalOctober 23, 2020Everything. Amazing. Pastas are to die for and the best salmon I’ve had in my life.
Sarah KApril 27, 2013No exaggeration, the BEST tiramisu I have ever had. Amazing service. Get the fillet. You won't be disappointed.
Bryan ChriscoliNovember 17, 2012Oh my god! This place is DELICIOUS! Had the lasagne and tiramisu. Awesome awesome awesome!! Thank you guys!!
Eliza KJanuary 28, 2012The meatballs and sauce are fantastic! They make a great snack with red wine.
Jennifer NypJanuary 23, 2011Why would you bring your own bottle of wine to an Italian restaurant run by Italians? The list is quite extensive for a little place. Just saying.- Love the ambiance! Amazing food..try the homemade gelato and perfect lasagna bolognese!
- Fantastic service, food, and by far the best tiramisu I've ever had!

J CrowleyMarch 25, 2011Lasagna bolognese was super good - a little pricey for that kind of dish, but still recommend.

The Local East VillageAugust 14, 2011According to community contributor James Traub, "The basil-and-gelato re-imagination of the capresecould serve as Giano’s signature dish." Read more
MeliAugust 25, 2013Not revisiting. Fried calamari, spaghetti dish and the filet mignon were all way too salty. The option 3 dessert called the "chef's interpretation" needs major reinterpretting because it was awful.
Ty FrancisFebruary 6, 2010Don't get stung by the $25 corkage fee! They'll expect you to buy a few bottles of their own wine if you expect them to waive the fee.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
