Review Gianni’s - Miami Beach

Lovely experience here. Loved my food and the dessert as well. We made reservations a month prior since it can be difficult to reserve. We had lunch at the fixed price menu. We sat outside which was nice it was a beautiful day, and we were able to take pictures. The waiters were amazing and attentive as well, and made good recommendations.

I'm not impressed, but I'll be back. The food quality? Decent, but nothing special. I've had better and more flavorful food than the chicken and potatoes I ate here at other restaurants. It's like I've tasted this cheap gravy before, perhaps in a hospital, served out of can or bag and poured over food on to a piece of chicken that isn't that tender or juicy. The service? A disappointment. We had to ask 3 times before bread and butter was delivered to the table. They didn't come back to refill our water until we were just about done with the meal, though the original waiter that took our order was OK, and gave us honest feedback about this places shortcomings. They were right, and I really appreciate their warnings and criticisms. I've been to Miami many times, and to this restaurant several times. They've really gone downhill. Be that as it may, I keep coming back to here with friends of mine who are visiting Miami for their first time who love to check out higher end dining experiences with ambience and history like this. Unfortunately or fortunately, they're easily impressed, so I keep coming back here, showing it to my friends who really love it, but I've had better. Also, I'm dissapointed in how they don't enforce the dress code. People come here for ambience, no? A fine dining experience? I follow the dress code, but lots of other people here don't. There were quite a few adult guests who were dressed in sleeveless shirts, flip flops, and t-shirts with ridiculous graphics and words on them. I remember mention of a dress code on their website, but it seems like the staff don't seem to care in creating the ambience of an upscale or fine dining experience. This restaurant has slowly become designated as a 'tourist trap' in my eyes...a tourist trap that I suppose is worth visiting at least once in your life, especially if you like a little bit of an upscale feel and history mixed in with your brunch/lunch/dinner. Miami is like another home to me. I'm in the city often. Undoubtedly I'll have more friends swinging by for their first time who'll want to check this place out, and not see the same flaws that I see. With that said, I'm disappointed, but will be back eventually maybe.

Visiting Gianni’s Versace former mention was a great idea for a date night, while visiting Miami. Would recommend to reserve a table online at least 3-4 days prior your date, as you may get rejected right at the door. Everything in this building is just stunning! All of the Fresca and stone work are just masterpiece, absolutely beautiful. Service is nice, fast and polite. Menu is pretty simple, but this is enough. Food was delicious and super fresh. Overall, it was an amazing date night out with my hubby. We’ve enjoyed this beautiful restaurant. Will definitely visit it again when we back to Miami.

OUTSTANDING 🤩 a dream come true! Would have given this place 5 stars but it’s a 3.5 stars for us for 2 reasons: the hostess extremely rude and short and the food is okay, Nothing special. Drinks & desserts were excellent! Everything else, AMAZING! Our waiter (sorry, forgot his name, Italian guy serving in the private room area), he was on point. Anything we asked, no problems. The ambiance, the atmosphere, the bar, the courtyard, the vibe —- WOW!!! Everyone from guests to servers, beautiful people!!! I mean this is where the legends Versace lived!!! But, the hostess- rude!

Exceptionally Great customer service. Breathtaking mansion. Very clean. I recommend making reservations in advance. Laura O was our waitress and did a FANTASTIC JOB. I highly recommend asking for Laura O. She was so sweet. Made recommendations, offered suggestions for my 8 year old son. Kid friendly menu items offered. Drinks wonderful. All staff made my family feel welcomed which made our experience that much better. Staff even went above and beyond offering to take photos. Food was delicious. Authentic, flavorful, quality and portion sizes were good. Good value. Whimsical experience.

I would go for the lunch special because the food is just okay in my opinion. Love how the courtyard is set up to be a restaurant. Great view of the pool but should put the fans down a little bit more because I was sweating sitting there. The waiter was very professional and very quick to take care of all my needs. Recommended if you like taking picture.

We made reservations for lunch and all got the lunch menu which was $34.00 USD for an appetizer, main and dessert! There were some main options that required additional cost but pricing was very transparent and reasonable! We highly recommend trying their raviolis!! It was genuinely a great ravioli - filled with ricotta and spinach. The branzino is also a really good option as well! Overall their lunch menu was delicious and portion sizes were reasonable. Adding the fact that this is the Versace Mansion, I felt that it was totally worth dropping by during our Miami trip! Be sure to make reservations WAY IN ADVANCE. Give them a call esp if you want to see if there’s extra availability not on yelp! They’re pretty accommodating.

The Mansion is beautiful, the food was decent. We had a reservation but still ended up waiting approx 45 minutes to an hour for a table of 3 to be seated. Overpriced for pretty basic dishes but you are coming for the views and overall hype of the place more than anything. I'd say cool to check out once.
