    Happy hour : Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka fries, mozzarella sticks, ceaser salad sangria
    Jessica A.

    I had no idea this place was downtown. I came to visit with a friend. She was staying at the Gale hotel. We had some time before our other reservation so we decided to enjoy the free sangrias she got for being a hotel guest. They were a little sweet for me, but for free, I'll take it. They're happy hour is honestly priced pretty well. The food was good. I'm not sure if I would come here for a full dinner. Nothing blew me out of the water, but for sure we'll be back for happy hour. We sat outside. The bar is huge. The patio is so beautiful. Bartender was very sweet as well.

    Had an amazing time at casa Gianna. Great Italian food with a Mediterranean influence. The lobster pasta was my favorite. They have some amazing pizza options too. The apps were excellent and the cocktails immaculate. Service was excellent ! Will definitely be going back here

    Gorgeous decor, very spacious and excellent service. It is located inside Gale hotel but has its own entrance. Stopped by for the World Cup game of USA vs Belgium. Happy Hours goes until 8pm and there is a passport food menu of happy hour priced food and drink options under $20 all day during game days. Tequenos - would have preferred a different sauce like aioli instead of this sweet and sour chili sauce; mozzarella sticks were good with rich marina sauce ; churrasco sliders were really good; empanadas were tasty but mini and not a must if you are a local who enjoys a good empanada. Definitely coming back to try the pasta - spicy rigatoni is on HH FOR $9

    Ok so this place is a little hard to find because Google Maps and the world center are trippin right now. But what a hidden gem! The food was amazing. We went for Miami spice and I think it's the best one I have had so far! Service was slow at first but got better towards the end. The outside and inside dinning areas were super nice! I'm for sure going back!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The place is super cute and all the food looks beautiful, but it's not good. The service was terrible. The waiters were kind but it felt like they forgot about us a lot and literally the restaurant was far from busy. The salmon crudo was terrible. I was expecting sushi grade salmon but instead it was smoked salmon, which is fine, however nowhere on the menu does it address the type of salmon they use so I think they should include that part. Secondly, the dish was way too salty and none of the flavors meshed well together. The sauce was way too thick and the orange pieces were not enough, it was the only lightness in the dish. Do not recommended. The beet salad was the only good dish, but that's a stretch. My friend and I shared the salad and the beets were cut up way too small so it was hard to eat with a fork. Also the feta foam on top did not mesh well with the flavor of the beets. Lastly I was so excited for the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta, but it wasn't great. I got mine with chicken and I swear the chicken was FAKE!! It was so rubbery and just looked fake. The pasta sauce also tasted super off. Overall the food tasted fake and I was very unhappy.

    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.

    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.

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!

However, there were some hiccups with the food and portions. The service was good. They always stayed on top of refills and ensured we had everything we needed. I ordered the charcoal grilled octopus appetizer and the grilled lamb chops with two sides. The food was delicious. However, It's a little embarrassing to charge 28 dollars for 3 small tentacles of an octopus one being so tiny, that it was burnt to crisp. Second, grilled lamp chops for $47 with no sides? Ordering the sides separately, the exotic wild mushrooms for $16 were salty. Creamy mashed potatoes $14 were delicious. So, essentially a complete dish was $77. My business partner's short rib was short on the rib but still tasted good. You're not even a one Michelin-star restaurant to command these prices for the portion. I do not mind paying more but not for these portion sizes, $105 without the cocktail, no thank you. The fine dining experience is overrated in today's market. Your staff, ambiance, and flavor of the food, saved this review. One and done.
