    Giann's is Meridens hidden secret. The food and staff are second to none. Cheers to Ralph and staff for many successful years.

The greenery outside of the restaurant is so beautiful and on a beautiful day sitting outside would be a must ! I went to Viron Rondo for lunch with my family and we are glad we did. Although I want to be honest for families with little babies and toddlers. This isn't a family friendly spot. There is no changing tables in the bathroom or tables to place bags on in the bathroom. As a mother- this matters to me so want to help someone else out. The inside is huge and spacious though. The food is freshly made to order in nice huge portions!! Everything was delicious. But we did struggle to get our waitress. Service could use some help as dishes weren't removed from the table until asked. The bread that is provided is soft/flavorful and delicious !!! We got muscles for and appetizer and OmG !! So tender and sauce was so good I couldn't stop dipping the house made bread in it. My mom got the pulpo (octopus) for her lunch with a side of jumbo shrimp. Let me tell you that pulpo was tenderrrrr and one of the best we've ever had !! I had the apple salad with jumbo shrimp! First it's the best salad!! And it can last you for 3 days it's so much!! If they work on service I would so give this place 5 stars. (Oh and my aunt was charged for a club soda with lemon- that's another little downfall) but the martinis were perfectly made and worth the money for sure !!

It was a Wednesday night. We noticed that the menu online is not the same as the menu there. We were both happy and disappointed at the same time with the menu change. There was an appetizer we plan to get From the online menu, but was not there at the menu at the restaurant. Two of us did order food that we did not see on the menu online so we were both happy that we were able to order gnocchi. That is pretty much.. I did take a picture of the menu and posted it here in my review so people could see the actual menu. The pasta comes with three choices of sauce, a marinara sauce, a pink sauce, or a Bolognese. My friend ordered the gnocchi with the pink sauce and absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure what to get, but I got the marinara sauce. I was not aware at the time, but the marinara sauce is actually very spicy. I really loved it and was happy with my choice. My friend tried it and thought it was too spicy for her but really loved her choice. My other friend, very much enjoyed the linguine and clams. No bread is offered complementary. Small salads did come complementary with the dinners. Overall, we were all happy and we all would like to come again.

Two offer wood fired pizza while the third impresses by offering an inexpensive 2 slice combo that includes a soda. The fourth being Illiano's where once again I forgot how relatively expensive their slices were in the past and likely continue to be though admittedly I neglected to inquire or take note of how much I paid. I requested a pair of cheese slices, NY style according to its website, to go and after paying was ignored by one and all for too many minutes. Although they advertise on their website that a snack in the form of a tiny nugget of pizza would be offered, none was offered to me - boohoo. Finally one of the employees broke away from whatever he had been engaged in, took note of my order of which there was no others and placed the slices in the oven. Shortly thereafter the slices were properly reheated, boxed and handed to me with nary an apology or a smile offered. These were consumed in the car where both of us agreed the crust bordered on being tasteless and the toppings only fractionally better. This location, the owners third, has been in operation since 2008 so obviously they are doing something right though you could not prove it by me.

    This used to be my go to place to get slices of pizza . This was my third try that ended up…read moreterrible.. The slices I received were cold, dry, and did not have a good flavor at all.

We had to send it back to be cooked to medium. The rest of our food was delicious, my daughter loved the Mac and cheese so much that we ordered extra to bring home.
