    Located inside the Gale Hotel and Residences, this is a very nice looking restaurant. It has indoor and outdoor seating. While I did not dine in, I sat at the bar several times and visited the attached cafe. The drinks were good and service was friendly. Coffee was hit or miss at the cafe, but still nice for grabbing a snack when in need.

    Casa Gianna is located in the heart of Miami Worldcenter right next to the train tracks and by the "Welcome to Miami Worldcenter" art mural. The restaurant is inside the Gale Miami Hotel & Residence. We entered through the patio area so we didn't walk through the hotel. The ambiance on the outdoor patio is gorgeous with a spacious area filled with plenty of patio seating magical lighting, floral wall decor, heat lamps and huge umbrellas. Magical space. When you walk inside, it's filled with warm lighting, booths & tables, tall ceilings, open kitchen concept and a nice open area. We were sat in a beautiful half round booth with plenty of space to seat 4-6 guests easy. Our server was Jason who was very chill, composed, attentive and professional. EVERYTHING WE ORDERED: * Espresso Martini Italiano $20 * Giardino Fresco (cucumber cocktail) $18 * Polipo (grilled octopus) $29 * Fagotelli (short rib filled pasta) $36 * Branzino Alla Puttanesca $46 * Roasted Orange Glaze Carrots $12 * Panna Cotta $14 * Lemon Pistachio $14 We originally ordered the Pistachio Crusted Colorado Lamb Chops but they ran out. We opted for the Pappardelle Alla Rosa De Ricotta which sounded delicious with a white truffle cream and lemon pistachio ricotta. Jason eventually came back to the table with a menu to let us know they unfortunately ran out of the Pappardelle as well. So comical at this point. Ended up getting the Fagotelli which was a super fancy pasta with a short rib filling. Crossed our fingers they wouldn't run out of this too. Our drinks were beautifully crafted and on point. Espresso Martini foam was incredibly fluffy, drink was smooth. The Giardino Fresco cucumber cocktail was refreshing. The Polipo grilled octopus was so dang good with a nice citrus vinaigrette, loved the shaved fennel texture. The Fagotelli short rib filled pasta was rich and smooth, one was enough for me. The shaved truffle was a nice touch. Truffle anything is always a good idea. Branzino could have been better. Did not love the confit pomodoro sauce, didn't compliment the branzino. Wish it had a light citrus sauce instead, the citrus vinaigrette from the grilled octopus dish would have been perfect for the branzino. Fish was also a bit dry, wish it was juicier and not as overcooked. For dessert, we opted for the Panna Cotta and considered the Lemon Pistachio too. Jason brought out the Panna Cotta with a candle and happy birthday chocolate sign. He also brought us the Lemon Pistachio as a complimentary extra dessert since we were eyeing this anyway. Very nice gesture. Funny enough, I really loved the flavors and textures of the Lemon Pistachio more so than the Panna Cotta. The Panna Cotta was too firm and just meh in comparison. All in all, we had a lovely dinner experience and it was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday. Hubby did good. Loved the ambiance, service was wonderful and food & drinks were fabulous! Nice authentic Italian spot in Downtown Miami. Casa Gianna has a Happy Hour at the bar seating area only on Mon-Thu @ 4-7pm and Fri @ 4-6pm. The HH includes small bites for $9-15 and beer, wine & cocktails for $5-10.

    I came to Casa Gianna for a birthday dinner and we were a large party (20 ppl) so I really kept my expectations fairly low because I know large parties tend to always get the short end of the stick when it comes to service and food quality. And though I am pleased to say that the service was great, kudos to Mary because she did a phenomenal job handling such a large group; the food left a lot to be desired. Just about everyone in my party was disappointed with their food. We all agreed that the food lacked flavor, complexity, and seasoning. I felt like I was eating pasta at Olive Garden and not an upscale restaurant. Additionally, we did not find out until we arrived at the restaurant that there was a $5 per person cake cutting fee, so my friend did not even get to cut her cake because it would have been $100 to do so, which is outrageous, considering how much money we spent on the lackluster food. Overall, I was not impressed with this restaurant and definitely would not return.

    It's a very nice Italian restaurant in the heart of Downtown Miami. The food was good, also the atmosphere was good; very calm, no loud music and the service was good as well; the waitress had a lot of knowledge of the menu and recommended some dishes. The cocktails were good. There's outdoors area in this restaurant. The parking might be difficult.

    The restaurant is located inside the hotel. If you are staying at the hotel and you get breakfast included, you only have one item to choose for for free. The only item to choose from them is the platter. Otherwise, you have to pay. When I had the young lady for service as a waitress, she was phenomenal. But I noticed that when I had her, I always got two pieces of pork sausage. When I had one gentleman, a tall male, it only came with one sausage. When I asked him, he got an attitude. He left my water empty for more than 10 minutes. He kept walking past me. The next day when I went to be seated for my breakfast that included with my room. I told the ladies upfront that I did not want that gentleman. The ladies who walk you to your table are very kind. I did speak to the manager in regards to the gentleman who was very rude as a waiter. They must have different chefs on different days because I like my eggs over easy and two out of the four days that I had the platter there was never enough potatoes for my eggs over easy. It's a nice place inside of the hotel. The bar looks nice also. They have different times on different days for happy hour.

    I have been excited to try this place since its new to the downtown neighborhood. It has a charming patio with a lot of seating, an outdoor bar, and inside seating. We chose outside because of the cool weather. We started off with the meatballs, which were dry. I wish we would've done a salad instead. We also didn't get any bread until we asked for it (I feel like you should just bring it out). Our waiter/bartender was super nice and created a mocktail for me despite none on the menu. I'm very thankful they did as we're participating in dry January. As for the spicy rigatoni, it was the second best part of our meal. The flavor and portions are great! I have to say the best part was the tiramisu. Wow! It was perfectly made and had a beautiful presentation. I will definitely come back for these two items!

    This is a the $175 sea food tower . With 5 clams, 4 pieces of salmon, 6 shrimps and a small thing of tuna .

    First time at the restaurant which was at the inside the Gala hotel in Miami . Ordered a seafood tower for $175 , two Cesar salads a margarita and two orders of French fries ...$375 . The restaurant was very nice and fancy . However the customer service was below zero . Everyone looked stressed and angry .... No smile at all . The waitress was unpleasant , took our order and disappeared . Waited 40 minutes until I called someone for the check . A young lady came in and I asked where is our waitress and she said the waitress is on break .... I do not recommend this restaurant at all . People around me were disappointed as well .

    I would give it a 3.5. It is nice and clean. A nice bar area that is inside and outside. The staff was friendly and helpful. The meatball was good but there are other places that have better meatballs. Spicy rigatoni is good as well but leaves more to be desired, other places are better. Chicken parm was good but it took a really time to come out. I finished my pasta and everyone else finished their plate and it still hadn't arrived. Desserts took long too. I would eat here again but wouldn't be my first choice. Would like to try other dishes to see how they fair.

    Conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Miami, Casa Gianna is definitely shaping up to be one of my new go-to spots. I stopped by for a quick lunch just to try it out, and it did not disappoint. The service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance was fabulous--stylish without feeling overdone, with just the right energy for a casual yet elevated meal. The menu looks promising, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more dishes. A solid addition to the downtown dining scene. If you're in the area, I'd absolutely recommend giving it a try!

    I'm always happy to see and eager to try new restaurants, coffeeshops and bars opening in the neighborhood. A few days ago while wandering around the neighborhood, I noticed Casa Gianna had open a take out cafe next door to their restaurant, called Cafe Gianna, and I couldn't resist to try their coffee. It was a warm afternoon so I went for an iced americano. When I got the receipt, I saw an automatic 15% service charge. While I was not ok with it, just paid and moved on. It's now the time to taste the coffee. It tasted like when you have iced coffee and all the ice melts down, that taste of water-down coffee. At this point, I had to say something, frustration was building up. The server didn't offer resistance when I approached her, which I appreciated, and she quickly added another shot of coffee. After rectifying it, it tasted good. Once I fast-forward reviewed what it happened, I noticed they didn't add ice but cold water, so it is technically like all the ice melted down, that's the reason it tasted like water down, or when you have iced coffee and all the ice has melted down. If you are serving an americano with cold water instead of water and ice cubes, you need to use a smaller cup so you add smaller amount of water, or simply do a 3 shots of coffee instead of 2. I'm not sure how they don't know this. I would like to return, but with the couple of things that went wrong with a simple Americano, I'm not so sure, I would.

    So I went to Casa Gianna this past Friday, July 18, and honestly? I didn't expect to walk out raving about it--but here we are. First of all, shoutout to the waiter, who was an absolute gem. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome, gave great recommendations, and had that rare combo of being attentive without hovering. Major bonus points for that. I ordered a Hugo Spritz for the first time ever, and I was a little unsure if I'd like it (I mean, elderflower? Come on). But he told me, "If you don't like it, I'll switch it for something else--no problem." Like--what?? Service like that is almost extinct these days. Now let's talk about the food: legit delicious. Everything we ordered hit the mark. But the biggest surprise? The pizza. Usually, when a restaurant tries to do it all, the pizza's the first thing to suffer. Not here. The crust was thin and crispy, the ingredients were fresh, and the flavor? Chef's kiss. It didn't taste like it was trying too hard--it was just good. Overall, Casa Gianna gave cozy vibes with quality food and five-star service. I came in just looking to have a decent dinner, and left thinking, "Okay, I'd totally come back." Highly recommend if you're in the mood for something comforting but elevated.

It has excellent elevated views of the Miami skyline to the east and the Miami River, boats, and the W Flagler St Drawbridge (historical landmark, built in 1938) to the west. I believe the penthouse is located on the 10th floor of a relatively new building. 2. The venue is modern and versatile. The inside spaces (including restrooms) had a clean, updated look. For this event, there were multiple bars and food stations set up both indoors and outdoors. The dance floor was outside. The combination of string lights, rooftop patio decor, and the city skyline was beautiful. There was only one elevator to get everyone up and down, so there was a bottleneck there. They brought in a fire dancer to perform outside on the rooftop, which was really cool.

There's limited street parking, but there's an adjacent parking lot. I'd recommend using a valet service if you are hosting an event here. I absolutely loved the views here, which is why this place gets 5 stars!

The service was extremely attentive. The violinist was strangely entertaining. And the unique environment they have created is really an experience. I had the paella and my wife had the chicken and waffles. The paella was good, but did not have that familiar crust that makes paella authentic. Socarrat is the caramelized, crispy, and savory golden crust that forms on the bottom of a proper paella, considered the dish's hallmark of quality and was sadly absent. The chicken and waffles was also good but there was nothing interesting or spectacular about it. Waffles were pretty standard and the chicken was moist and cooked nicely, but nothing stood out about the breading. It was really the atmosphere they create that made this a wonderful meal. My big negative is that they have taken a room decorated perfectly with hearts, even in the trees, lights, and other decorations with scream, romance, and then adulterated the whole thing with advertising screens in every direction. I'm here already. Yes I would love to know what else you offer, but I don't want to see it flashing in front of me my entire meal from every angle that I look at. Yes it was effective because I now know about the happy hour and the special nights that you have, but I do think that my repeat business will be limited because I will have to look at these screens every minute of my meal every time I come in. Overall, a good experience, and with a few tweaks could be a great one.
