Customer Reviews
We love this place! Authentic Tuscan food - some of the best sauce that I have ever had! Be ready for a calm, relaxing meal that you can savor. The owners and wait staff are absolutely wonderful!
Walk through their door, you are treated like family. The owners, Frank and Anna were the most gracious individuals anyone could ever meet. The lobster ravioles were fabulous! Topped off the meal with fresh cheesecake topped with fresh fruit. I loved the meal and atmosphere. I will definitely return when I drive through the area.
Visited Giannfranco’s for dinner before heading to Channel Island for the weekend as a treat and couldn’t have had a better experience. All the food was delicious and service was prompt. The chicken parm is a must have and the sacchetti while smaller in portion makes up the difference in flavor.
Hubs and I dropped into Giannfranco's Trattoria about a hour before closing time on a weeknight. The front dining area was empty except for a table of four. The owner advised us that we can sit in the front dining area but kitchen and wait service might be slow due to the back patio being full of customers. I appreciated that she told us and we decided to stay. She had a lighthearted sense of humor as well. Luv her wit and authenticity. We told the waiter it was our first time here. Hubs ordered a drink and the meatball appetizer (meatballs with crostini) but asked to be brought out for dinner with my spaghetti and palette (meatballs). The waiter asked if we wanted bread. We said yes. He didn't suggest this as an added appetizer. He just asked if we wanted bread knowing it was our first
This place deserves a 5-star rating on all aspects. We had lunch there on a Saturday. The food was fantastic. My daughter had Chicken Picata and the chicken piece was of perfect tenderness and taste. I had another Pasta dish called 'Franco' with Italian sausage added and it tasted superb. I assume that it was the owner himself who served our table. He was very attentive and kind. They offer both indoor and patio seating in the back (with table umbrellas.) We chose the latter and felt very relaxed and comfy. Will come back.
