I really wanted to like this place, but there was one glaring problem with the food. The sauce tasted like canned tomatoes, that awful metallic taste they have when they haven’t been cooked long enough. The hallmark of good Italian cuisine hinges on their sauce, so this was a serious disappointment. Nice atmosphere and décor though.

We were really satisfied with this place. Absolutely delicious margherita pizza(probably one of the top 5 best I’ve ever had). My wife and I shared the pizza, and a large Caesar salad which was also really good. As much as I enjoyed the pizza and salad, someone else at our table ordered a pasta dish(some type of stuffed shell pasta) with spicy red sauce, and prosciutto. I took a bite and was immediately jealous. I’ll get that next time, whatever it was. I think all around if you stick with anything that has their homemade red sauce, you will be happy. The best part is the service. We really had a wonderful server, that made the entire experience that much better.

The atmosphere and food are just amazing. The staff was friends and knowledgable. The place was packed but we got right in and never had to wait for service or food. You will not regret going here.

Love the food but when I tried to make reservations another time was treated very rude and seemed like she didn’t care if we came so I thanked her and hung up!!!

Delicous. A tad overpriced. Authentic, though, and recommend it to all.

This is the coolest little restaurant, tucked away in the historic downtown district. The white linen area downstairs was packed, but they have their more casual pizza loft that also serves as a great overflow area. We made a custom pizza, and it was great. The crust was thin, but not too crunchy. Just right. It was remarkably good, and the service was second to none. The chocolate cake was nothing short of decadent. You’ve got to try this place!

Very delicious food with a menu providing variety. Waited a pretty good while to be noticed and seated once we entered, but service was fantastic, a notch above, once we were at our table.

This place is the best! If you want REAL Italian, you need to go here. We were seated in a timely manner even though it was packed. The hostess and wait stage were polite and upbeat. The owners came out and asked how everything was. We got the calamari and the bruschetta, both were executed to perfection. they serve unlimited homemade bread knots with seasoned Olive oil and balsamic sauce. Food took a little bit long, but it is a fine restaurant.

I just finished my first meal at Gianni’s and it was the most amazing meal ever! I live in NY and I am in town visiting a friend, I told him I didn’t want any Italian food being I can get good Italian food anytime in NY. He told me that I absolutely had to try the Brooklyn style Broccoli and Maccaroni, that I would not regret it. I am so glad I agreed to go because everything was delicious, the service was great, despite us walking in 15 minutes before they closed, the pasta was amazing! I can’t wait for my next trip to NC just so I can come back to Gianni’s for the Brooklyn pasta!

We stopped in for lunch, more casual. Food was just gross(we ordered sandwiches and one pasta dish). Not worth the expense of a full service meal. Service was slow even though they had two servers and the place was empty. Never, ever again.

I would really give this a 3.5, but since that’s not possible it’s getting a 4. The food is delicious and always consistent l. Lunch is great here — there are several lunch combos and smaller servings of pasta that are delicious and you can get a very satisfying lunch for under $ 10. Make sure to ask about any specials, which are generally delicious and usually not similar to anything else on the menu. Slices of pizza from the pizza loft upstairs are available at lunch as well. Dinner is a different story. It’s almost like dining in a different restaurant. Don’t get me wrong — the food is still great, but it really seems overpriced for what you’re getting. There isn’t much competition in the immediate area, but it still seems weirdly high. Pizza is not available downstairs for dinner. The wine list is generally good. There is a nice variety, at various price points, although more than once I’ve been told that a listed wine is not available, AFTER I have ordered it. Service at both lunch and dinner is average to below average. It is really slow, and not in a «we’re just leaving you alone to enjoy your dinner and conversation» way, but rather more of a «sorry did no one take your drink order yet?» way. Food generally comes out as requested, and no one is rude, but no one has ever paid particular attention to my party either. All that being said, it’s still generally worth eating here, unless you are in a hurry.

Awesome service and great food. I have been here twice and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The sea bass is delicious and beautifully presented. The second time, I got the red snapper and it was equally wonderful. They also have a «family» night on Wednesdays with less expensive entrees, but you have to ask the waiter what the specials are.

Love the ricotta cavatelli with hot sausage. It is very spicy and amazing. It is an intimate spot, low lighting, great for date night. I would recommend a reservation, the wait can be long at times.

We went to Gianni’s tonight and had the red snapper and the Branzino. Both fish entrees were perfectly cooked. The Red Snapper was a very large portion that was set on a bed of orzo and sautéed kale. It was topped with a wonderful roasted red pepper relish. The Branzino was a generous portion and set on a bed of saffron couscous and sautéed kale topped with a succotash relish. Although we ordered appetizers the main entrée was very generous and was not needed. My only complaint is that there is tad too much salt added to both entrees. We had the salted Carmel cheesecake recommended by our server Mark and it was awesome!

16 Union ST Concord NC., I will drive there for a meal any time I am within 100 miles of Gianni’s. The Caesar salad is perfection. Mark our waiter was excellent, helpful I have been there 3 times now, each time the food was delicious, I had Melanzane Ripeino Delicate fried eggplant rolls slathered w/herbed fresh ricotta & stuffed w/a sundried tomato pesto spaghetti, baked in our home made marinara sauce topped w/fresh wet mozzarella. Yum!

Gianni’s is a hidden gem in downtown Concord. The pizza is delicious with a crust that is thin but not too crispy. The calzones are heavenly, filled with amazingly fluffy clouds of sweet ricotta. The sauce is really tasty too, with just a bit of a kick to it. The pastas and salads are good too, but the Pizza Loft is where it’s at. Finish off your meal across the street at the Cabarrus Creamery for dessert.

Great atmosphere. Surprised to find such a well done Italian menu in the middle of Concord, NC. Coming from NJ, this is the best I’ve had since moving here a year ago. Enjoyed the garlic knots to start with olive oil and balsamic while waiting for our Calamari Fritti. Was golden, delicious, crunchy served with a nice Diavolo sauce For Entrees I enjoyed the Cavatelli with hot sausage, I love spicy food. Which was tossed in a spicy red sauce with onions, grated cheese, served piping hot. My girlfriend had the Chicken and Shrimp Picatta, which was perfectly seasoned chicken breast and Shrimp large enough to give Bubba Gump a run for their money. Side of Angel hair and what I believe was sauteed kale. Finished off with a 4 layer chocolate cake that should be named death by chocolate. They were understaffed tonight but that didn’t deter from a great meal at a great location.

Took my girlfriend to The Pizza Loft at Gianni’s and was amazed at the lack of professionalism on display. As soon as we walked in there was no greeting due to the hostess not being behind the hostess stand and we waited for 10 minutes. As we made our way upstairs to the Pizza Loft we were instructed to find a seat and then proceeded to wait on a server. The one server was working both the upstairs pizza loft and busing tables for the downstairs establishment: Gianni’s Trattoria, which was packed. This explains the extremely poor service. After 15 mins of non-service, and being passed over, we decided to walk out and find another establishment for pizza. Decided to try Johnny Brusco’s at 9900 Poplar Tent Rd and it was a night and day experience. At Johnny Brusco’s we were immediately approached by the hostess who quickly sat us. T waitress was at the table within a minute despite the restaurant being a full capacity(about 65 patrons). Ordered the fried ravioli as an appetizers and as most know: fried anything is awesome. We then ordered the Four Cheese Pizza and it was delivered to our table in about 10 minutes. The pizza was spectacular and the more extensive menu looked impressive compared to that of The Loft at Gianni’s. I would not suggest The Pizza Loft as a place to sit down and eat pizza. I’d go with calling in your order and picking up yourself. That way you won’t endure the terrible service. I would suggest that the owner(s) hire more experience waiters who know how to serve clients and maybe a few bus boys so the waitresses can concentrate on first time clients that need to be impressed to ensure future visits.
