What a gem in Tomball. This family owned establishment shined from the home baked bread to the desserts made in house. The house salad with the creamy italian rocked. My husband had the special with beef tips and linguine. I chose the fettuccine carbonara. What I liked most is that they had a normal and a small portion. Trust me the small portion was plenty. I just had to try one of those desserts. The coconut cake with pineapple sauce was on point and I took a few biscotti's that Roberta the owner suggested would go perfect with my coffee in the morning, They have a full bar and a nice wine list. Jayden was our server and was so pleasant and helpful. I enjoyed that the acoustics allowed me to actually have a conversation. If you are looking for a wonderful meal at a reasonable price don't miss Gianna's read more

This is an intimate fine dining Italian restaurant in Tomball, Texas. They've done. Excellent job of Decorating, you would find a restaurant very much like this in New York. They have a full bar. They have a wide menu. I got the special, which was beef tips in a marsala (Red wine) sauce, fresh mushrooms, barely cooked onions. It was delightful. My wife had Alfredo carbanara chicken, which also had a good flavor, they have a wide variety of desserts, all made in-house. Expect to oay around 20 for an entee -- lowest 10 highest 29. Decent wine menu from 7 to 12 dollars a glass. Eat local, eat family owned for 27 years. Jayden is a second generation server! read more

Don't just walk but run to this Tomball gem. We drove out to this establishment in hopes that it would be a great evening with family and a pleasant meal. You can tell by the quiet buzz at the tables when we walked in that the food was good. Everyone was eating and not a whole lot of loud talking. Smiling faces and full tables. We found all to be great. The food, the service and the ambiance. I did notice that there were not a lot of kids and more of an adult experience. They had live music and a very nice host. Jayden was our server for the evening and she was terrific. So, when you want a great Italian meal and you're in the Tomball area, go by and get treated to a lovely meal. read more

Came her for a work party. We reserved the back room for our large group. I had not been to Gianna's in quite some time, so I was excited to be back! We started with a few bottles of red and white wine to share, along with fried mozzarella sticks, fried ravioli, and the calamari. The fried ravioli was so good and just a hint of spice to it which made it extra special. I decided on the lasagna for my entree which was massive. I could have easily split this with at least one other person. It was super cheesy, hot, and absolutely delicious. I enjoyes their red sauce very much! We all had a great time and enjoyed our food and drinks. Will be back for more ravioli!! read more

Gianna Italian Kitchen - Lasagna - Italian Near Me - Tomball, Texas

I haven't been here in several years. I had 1/2 & 1/2 Spaghetti with Meatballs and Italian Sausage. It was pretty good with very thick and rich sauce. There was an unusual herb in the sauce, but otherwise it was pretty good. My wife had their Lasagna and said it was also pretty good. Very large portions. read more

The best food and selection. Something for everyone. From fish to pasta and the best filet you will ever eat, Gianna is the place! There are Gluten Free Options from appetizers, soup, salads, entrees, and dessert. Healthy and less healthy! Great atmosphere. Worth a visit and repeat visits! read more

The wait staff was nice however it took FOREVER for the food to arrive we had to ask several times for what we needed and the temperature was subpar the taste was very bland adding salt and Parmesan helped most definitely NOT WORTH the $29 they charge for it. Extremely disappointed The rest of our party also said theirs was very bland and with 30 in the party that's a massive disappointment. The piano player was entirely too loud. And to top it off the bidder starts LOUDLY clearing the table before everyone had left. Needless to say we will NOT be back for another visit read more

This place is what you call cafeteria food Italian. I ordered a Caesar salad and Lasagna. The Caesar salad is basically just Romain lettuce thrown into a box with croutons. The dressing also tastes nothing like Caesar. The Lasagna had the cheapest cheese you can buy (think school pizza topping) and the sauce tastes straight from the can. I'm not joking when I say this is the worst I've ever had. It's a shame how expensive everything has gotten and then to top it off restaurants like this give the absolute worst effort. I would have been better off just cooking this meal at home. Thank you for wasting my money, I feel like you should be paying me to eat that slop. read more

Gianna's Italian Kitchen is a family owned gem in Tomball. The storefront eatery is sort of a classic Italian restaurant design. There is a full bar, lots of wine cabinets, seating around the bar, live music and a party room. The service is friendly and warm. Always attentive. The food is OUTSTANDING! We were here for a birthday party - even for a banquet, they were able to serve filet mignon rare and salmon rare. Both were outstanding. I enjoyed the Caesar salad as well as the broccoli side dish. The real star were the cupcakes and the cake, which were made in house for the birthday boy. Holy geez....I could pass on the pasta and the bread, but this cake was heavenly. The wine list is also VERY impressive and VERY reasonable. Heck! If I were in Houston, I would come just for the wine...and maybe some cake. I highly recommend this delightful restaurant. While it is not an architectural star, the service, food and wine are where it is at. read more

Ambiance is nice & so is the live music. The food was just ok. Sauces were too sweet. The red sauces and the marinara were both too sweet. Service wasn't very good. They dropped off the food and didn't come back for over 15 minutes so I didn't get to order something else I wanted plus our drinks sat empty for way too long. Don't think we will be back. read more

Freshly prepared Italian dishes were delicious. In-house desserts were also wonderful. And the atmosphere was festive and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I ate here a few weeks back and am finally writing this review- if I could give it a .5 stars I 100% would!! I ate here with my father and we got the special chicken piccata. Idk if you can even call it that- it was the worst thing I've ever ate... worst meal!!! My father and I got SO SICK from the food. Idk how to describe the food but it was the worst meal of my LIFE!! I would say the service was good to make up for it but it was just decent. I regret not returning the plate and I'd be so embarrassed if this was my restaurant. read more

One of the best Italian kitchen in town we love the atmosphere and the vibe is really nice

Gianna Italian Kitchen offers great Food and Great Service. They have an extensive menu selection and wine list.

Twice is two weeks...I ordered a Protein packed delicious salad with fruit. So healthy, loaded with Balsamic Vingrette. Hubs had Chicken Alfredo and his daughter and little bit the same. We were so sad to hear Cesar's twin brother had passed away, but the restaurant had a love sign board made in memory of his brother and customer's signed it. I am so thankful we went that weekend. This place has delicious food and music and is great for date nights, groups and business meetings and birthdays. Best Fried cheese sticks ever!!!!! read more

A wonderful Friday night date place. Local and small and lovely, with live music played by a man with a soothing voice, singing songs that make me smile. He is very good, and not annoying or loud or obnoxious like some live artists can be. I ordered chicken Marsala, suggested by our server, and Mike ordered beef ravioli . I would take pictures, but this doesn't feel like the kind of place you take pictures of food . The marsala is very good, as is the ravioli. Our server, Megan, not so good. Mike finished his coke and had to ask for another, which we still haven't received. I tried to ask for a box, but she disappeared before I could get it out. Never once checked on us during the meal, mike only was able to grab her attention to ask for the soda refill as she was walking by. So sorry, but she is not going to add anything positive to the review. She did ask if we wanted to see the desserts, and brought the selection fairly quick, so there's that. I won't take anything from the review because of that at this point. Although now she did just go over to take a 7 top's order before bringing my dessert. Oye, on the fence here, again because of Megan. Hope she is not family to the owners. I had to ask a different server to ask our server to make our dessert to go, because it's been too long already. Tsk tsk. We did overall enjoy our meal and the music, so I will make the review about that and stick with 4 Stars read more

An old family favorite once upon a time ago... Fallen from grace. With my dad in the hospital, I wanted to do something special & bring him something nostalgic for dinner. This turned out to be a really challenging feat, because their hours of operation are slim. They're not open for lunch on Saturday's (just dinner) and completely closed on Sundays. Well, we managed to schedule a trip and made our way to the long-standing Tomball restaurant on a Saturday evening... Service was a atrocious. They took our to-go order and then disappeared for over 45 minutes, not once checking on us - just complete avoidance. What we later opened when it was time to eat was slop. Now, to be honest, it was very tasty slop... But, what lazy packaging (the lasagna slid apart in a container 3x too large) and no mind for presentation (the spaghetti looked like a mess-hall plate). Well, at least we made Dad happy... but I don't think we will be back again any time soon. read more

We used to come here several years ago and it was good. We came for lunch in December and it was not good. All wait staff were focused on a private party in the back, so service was very slow. I ordered Veal Piccata - it did not look appetizing, more like veal soup, and it did not taste good - I had a couple of bites and left the rest. Husband had Veal Parmigiana and he said it was OK. 2 hours and $60, we won't be back. read more

I was told about this place as a a suitable NE US fillin. Honestly, this is a mom and pop Italian place, each time I have gone I have had great service. This is a place for family. It's casual and comfortable and has live music on the times that I have gone. Food is relative. I am a NYer and have different expectations than others. Overall, it is good. They have a variety of dishes to please everyone. Their sauce is on the sweeter side, with just a hint of sweet. Depending on what you order that can be controlled. They have escargot in a butter wine sauce with spinach, great on the garlic bread they provide. Same with the shrimp with the same sauce. I would go there for just apps and a glass of wine to honest. I have also had the pasta sampler. I enjoyed the cannolini and it has enough savory to off set the sweet sauce. I liked the manicotti, a little plain and could have used some seasoning in the ricotta. The lasagne just did not do it for me. My usual litmus test is the meatballs. They are a good size, tender, well cooked. They have way too much garlic in them and it is enhanced by the oregano. Try them, it is just not for me. A traditional fettuccini is such a simple easy dish to make, I am not sure why everyone tries to make it into a cream based saucy dish with excessive sauce. Same with a traditional carbonara. Here it is a cream based sauce, not in the real world Most of the food that I have had was food, you will have to ask questions and experiment to find what you will enjoy. Oh the filling for the cannoli was really good, and for those that want it gluten free, you can order just the filling!!! Ok desserts were good. Again, I still go as I am learning the menu, the owner is a sweet woman, the staff is great! I have loved the apps I have had. Ask questions to see if how it is prepared is what you want or expect. I recommend it. read more

I enjoyed the meal, ambiance and service very very much. I will definitely go back again, and I suggest that others do likewise.

I loved everything about this place. The food: incredible. The staff: incredible. The vibes: incredible. The only thing I will say is that there is no music and you can hear everyone. I did not mind it at all so if you can get past that, you're golden. I absolutely recommend this place read more

Went for the first time last night. The outside and inside were decorated so nicely with Christmas items. We had high hopes, but then we sat down :-( Service was very slow. Took awhile to order food. Drinks came out super late, bread basket as well. Refill on water required a reminder. Food was very bland. Chicken Alfredo sauce from HEB is more flavorful than what we had. We likely won't go back, which is sad, as we were looking forward to having a nice mom and pop Italian restaurant close to home read more

The ambiance was very festive. I ordered the Shrimp and Scampi entree. The entree was almost 30 dollars and sadly presented with only 3 shrimp and 3 scallops and a lot of pasta. The shrimp and pasta had good flavor, but the scallops were less than appetizing. read more

Gianna Italian Kitchen - My veal pasta plate paired with a pino Three thieves pino noir of course from California - Italian Near Me - Tomball, Texas

The service and ambiance is decent, but the food is not. When I visited in May of 2022, I would have given four-five stars. However, the food tasted drastically worse during my visit in October of 2022. The broccoli in creamy sauce that I enjoyed so much months ago was not the same at all and just tasted like frozen broccoli florets in cheese sauce. The Caesar salad dressing tasted odd. I am a huge fan of bread, and the complimentary garlic bread they provide is lacking. It is not soft and is too greasy from the garlic on top. It is a shame that this is the only Italian restaurant in Tomball. read more

Unfortunately, our group of seven rates this restaurant a 1 due to poor management.  Our server was quickly in the weeds after our reservation at 5:30 pm to a 90% empty room.  Wine was delivered as were some appetizers.  After placing our orders at 6:05 pm, it took 35 minutes for the food to arrive at 6:40 pm.  When delivering our orders, the sever told one of our group members that they mistakenly gave her fish dish to another patron and another portion would be served shortly.  Twenty minutes later at 7:00 pm, still no dish.  We flagged down the manager, and he stated he would take care of it.  He NEVER returned to our table with an update.  Ten minutes later, the server stated that they were out of fish.  Our meal lasted 2.5 hours.  The friend that ordered the fish was comped for the glass of wine but was charged for the salad - how crass!  When the bill was delivered, I was erroneously charged for a $12 appetizer a friend ordered.  I paid it rather than wait for the server.  Overall, the food was palatable, but giving a 1 star to get the owner's attention. read more

Immediately when we got seated, I was already not happy. My family and I came on a very cold evening, and we were seated right in front of the door where people are constantly going in and out. The restaurant did not seem to have a heater on either... Service started off great, and the server (wish I got her name) was so very nice. She got our orders and gave us great options and recommendations. After appetizers came out, it had seem forever for our food to come out. Everyone was hungry, and not to mention FREEZING COLD! When food finally came out, our server seemed to ditch us for her friends. Conversating in the far corner by there register, constantly trying to get her attention. She finally came with a help of another server whom we had to pass the message to, TWICE! She came, and we requested a refill on drinks, as well as another glass of wine. Let me just say... Those drinks were never refilled and the wine never came out. She was back over there chatting with her other friends. Above all the other disasters, the food was phenomenal. Took awhile but I really loved it all. Muscles were one of the freshest I had, and I loved the toasted raviolis. I could just come there and eat all the appetizers and be full off that. The fettuccine carbonara was just okay... I could have sworn it was better years ago when I came here. Regardless, I still loved it all. Ready for the bill and to-go boxes because I cannot take one bit of this cold anymore. But wait...because that's all we've been doing for that server to come to us... I don't understand how she started off so great and then she just did not care about us anymore! LIKE WTH!!!! Come here for the food, but don't expect the service to be amazing. Sad but true. And bring a floor heater on cold nights. read more

We had a pleasant experience at this restaurant. It's a nicely sized restaurant with an area in the back for larger groups and also a bar. We visited on a Saturday and there was live music. Not sure if this is a weekly thing as well. The food we ordered was delicious. We went with spaghetti and meatballs and sea food cannelloni. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The only complain I have is the bread they include with their meals. It tasted old and the amount of garlic used was very overpowering. They could definitely improve in that area. All in all, it was a good meal. Three meals, three desserts, an appetizer, and a B52 and the bill came to $100 and some change. Friendly staff and great service. Not bad at all. All in all, I think we may visit again when we are in the area. read more

Once again, Gianna Italian Kitchen was amazing!! We had the special app crabcake that was delicious. I always order the Vitello Saltimbocca and it was excellent once again and such a generous portion. My hubby had the special redfish which was fresh and so good. We had a lovely Brunello that Roberta helped us pick out. Their wine list is outstanding. We took two desserts home because we were too full but couldn't resist. The owner, Roberta, is so sweet and welcoming. She's truly a special person!! Definitely recommend this amazing restaurant. read more
