If you're looking for a dinner, stick with the appetizers, the entrees were smaller portions and overpriced, what we did receive did taste well, bread was the highlight..

This was my fourth Link group restaurant experience. Upon entry the space is beautifully designed albeit very chilly to keep up with the heat from the wood fire oven. They did bring a shawl for my guest who was freezing which I thought an amazing touch. Our whole staff was ententive, and made multiple suggestion on items they liked from the menu.the meatballs are an absolute must if you go. For real do not skip them! Yes they are that good. I got the shrimp and pasta dish. The pasta was firm with a distinct chew you can only get from fresh made. The red pesto was flavorful and delicious, unfortunately the pan seared shrimp were tough, a bit over cooked, and the seared made some hard parts I thought was shell. It was not the shrimp we're all peeled amd tail off. Although I still highly recommend Gianna for that fresh Mediterranean inspired cuisine it was not as good as there other establishments. The Link group is absolutely killing it with their attention to service. Food quality, mind blowing flavor, and beautiful spaces in New Orleans. Its no surprise they have been awarded with James Beard awards.
The best meal we had in New Orleans. I had the wagyu flank steak and my husband had the bolognese with the bread made in house. Finished off with gelato. The customer service is excellent . Waiters were adorable.

We had a fantastic experience dining at Gianna! The Italian cuisine was absolutely delicious—the lamb lasagna, meatballs, and wood-fired pizza were all highlights of our meal.

Food was outstanding. The lamb lasagna was superb. Pasta was thin and incredible. Highly recommend.
