Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Gianninos is best known for its attentive service and welcoming ambiance. Guests often rave about the deliciousness of the food, with standout dishes like the Spaghetti Carbonara and the tender Veal Milanese taking center stage. The banana split and Tiramisu also receive frequent praises, making dessert a must once dinner finishes. The coffee is another highlight, prepared to perfection, making a great accompaniment to any meal. Plus, the option for outdoor seating is perfect for those sunny days, allowing patrons to enjoy their meal while soaking up the local atmosphere. Most importantly, the connections formed here help to build a strong community feel.
Most Disliked
While Gianninos has many strengths, several guests mention the noise levels can be excessive, especially during peak dining hours. The lively atmosphere is invigorating, but it may distract from intimate conversations. Additionally, some diners feel the decor could use updates, with a few suggesting a refresh would enhance the ambiance. On busy nights, the service may slow down occasionally despite the staff's efforts. While many appreciate the hearty portions, a few noted that they sometimes felt overwhelmed with the quantity, leading to leftovers. Lastly, reservations are a must; those without may face long waits, especially on weekends.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Service at the highest level! Delicious dishes, a delight for the palate. The atmosphere of the interior multiplies the pleasant experience. We were very warmly welcomed 😊 The waiter named Paul took care of us better than I could have dreamed of. I felt as good as at my grandmother's home 🫠🫠🫠 The food was delicious, beautifully presented and arrived very quickly. The portion was so large that I couldn't fit it all in. An unforgettable experience. At the end of dinner the owner came to us. He was very nice and talked to us for a while. I highly recommend this restaurant, we will definitely come back. Everything was perfect!!! Thank you very much! ❤️

Food was excellent and very well priced. Place is busy! Went on a Monday evening and was lucky to get a table. Very loud inside. The decor could maybe do with an update. Would recommend booking!

Just finished our UK trip with 2 nights in Broxburn. Was told we should try Gianninos and we were not disappointed..so much so we had two nights there for dinner...Food & Staff were amazing. It was always busy which shows how good the place is and what the locals obviously think of it. Would highly recommend going there if you are ever visiting the Broxburn area.

I would highly recommend. Visited here this afternoon with a party of 5. Service was brilliant, staff are very attentive. We ordered 3 courses, food was lovely. The owner came out and had a chat with us ( also cooks the food ) absolute gentleman.

Never been before, popped in on a random Thursday thinking there would be lots of tables available.…….there wasn’t but they managed to squeeze the two of us in. The place was busy, atmosphere was great, there was a nice buzz about it. So glad they accommodated us, the food was top class and the price was excellent for what we had.
