Cafe Gianni and Downtown Pizza are delicious cohabitors of the same property. Our family had dinner at Downtown Pizza, the casual side of the restaurant, on Saturday night. Everything on the menu is $7.95, and choices included Greek salad, chicken parmesan, individual (10 inch) pizzas, and pasta dishes like lasagna and spaghetti. My son devoured his manicotti, and everyone enjoyed... More

Great food great service! Excellent wine and dessert selection. I am Italian and know great Italian food. I have eaten in Italian restaurants in NYC which are considered some of the best. This one can stand up to even NYC's best! More

Eustis, Florida is quite nice although very small, and I didn't expect to find such a high-end restaurant there. Cafe Gianni exceeded my expectations. The pasta was fresh, the quality was excellent. I had the lobster ravioli and my mom (very picky) had the pasta primavera. The food was great, I would highly recommend Cafe Gianni and will definitely go... More

We stopped by Cafe Gianni during our first ever visit to Eustis, and we were very impressed with everything about this restaurant! We enjoyed our lunch in the casual side of the restaurant (the fine dining is only open for dinner) . We chose to eat inside, although there is outdoor seating available also. The restaurant is located in the... More

EXTREMELY friendly staff, what they missed in professionalism and attention to detail was completely compensated by the personal friendly attitude! Food - appetizers, entre, and dessert - were all way above average. Prices were moderate and reasonable for quality and quantity served. Wine list was a bit skimpy, but adequate, Some wine prices seemed above typical for similar selections elsewhere.... More

We have relatives nearby and discovered Cafe Gianni two years ago at their original location. We met the chef and have been going back on every visit to Central Florida. The new location, around the corner, offers a spacious dining room, but we always seem to wind up enjoying ourselves in the cozy bar. The service is excellent, and the... More

We live in New York and wished to give my brother-in-law a gift certificate to Gianni's for his birthday. Since I'm always a bit late in remembering, I needed the certificate within 2 days. Gianni was not only kind enough to accommodate me in mailing it to my brother-in-law but took the time to return my call to tell me... More

Food, service, ambiance perfect. Four in our family. We all had different dishes. All were great. Highly recommend. The downtown is great to stroll after dinner. Block away is a beautiful lake. Perfect setting. More
