Gianni Restaurant

Just had to write this review to express my thoughts about how great this place is! Gianni is totally italian...staff, waiters and chefs. This reflects in the fantastic Italian atmosphere...you'd think you were in Italy until you walk outside into the Cheltenham Bus Station! The italian-ness extends to the divine pasta dishes and sauces. Just a thought.....if you're reading this Mr Gianni, you need to improve your desserts. This is just a small criticism....but after the authentic italian prepared main meal we expected something in the same vein for afters. Instead we seem to have the run of the mill, commercially prepared set-prepared dessert. Never mind, the main event could not be overshadowed....it was such high quality. And great value, change from the three tenners(!) is terrific for food of the quality we experienced. Go there you will not be disappointed

In the centre of Cheltenham, but somehow tucked away, this hidden jewel is worth seeking out. If you want atmosphere and a fun night out, this is the place to go. The staff are really enthusiastic about their work and now and again burst into song! We had to wait a while for our food, but didn't mind as we soaked up the ambience and nibbled our free olives. I had the cannelloni which was very tasty. My boyfriend had penne putanesca, and commented on the perfect sauce. We also had a shared starter of calamari, prawns and whitebait and half a graffe of red wine..... and change from £30! For the money, the food was excellent. Nothing too fancy, just fresh, hot, traditional italian. We intend to go back next week and take some friends. Highly recommended

Wow! In a word Fantastic. In two words ˜Fantastic, Fantastic'. Did I mention this place is Fantastic? We have been to Gianni's some time ago and seemed to recall having a good time and a first class meal. So, we looked forward to our return in July 2007........and we were not to be disappointed. The prices seemed to have gone down, the ambience and enjoyment levels were electric and the quality of the piping hot food was exceptional. We had the olives, mixed salad and a selection of seafood to start. The chef must have just gone out into the garden to pick the green stuff - it was that fresh. Surely he didn't have time to catch the beautiful squid and white bait as well?! The Pasta dishes and sauces were divine. A word of warning. They do NOT do Pizza. Chatting to one of the head waiters, he explained that they do actually cook Pizza's for staff meals but they felt it was not up to the highest standard they wanted for the public - apparently something to do with the correct type of oven needed. We have since recommended it to many people and will be returning there shortly.
