Visited Cafe Gianni one year ago with my sisters. Was able to share it with my husband tonight. We started with the eggplant rollatini which was great. The bread was excellent. My husband had veal capriciossa and spaghetti with bolanese and I had the chicken marsala. We were both ecstatic with our choices and our meal. The chef came out... More

I recently buy a house in North Florida, and we like to visit old towns, so we went to Eustis downtown and what an amazing experience. First of all, Eustis is unique, friendly and beautiful. Recently renovated city, it is amazing. We went three times to Cafe Gianni. First on January 2011 and then in February 14, 2012. We meet... More

What ever you order is made to order by a wonderful chef. Truly Italian food presented extremely well by an outstanding group of servers, directed by your very atentative and gracious host "Franco". Order what you want, and you will not be disappointed. More

Cafe Gianni advertises itself as a "fine dining experience". Either they or I don't know what constitutes fine dining. It is good, the service is good, the atmosphere is good, everything about it is good and my husband and I will probably return. We arrived about 5 and didn't need the reservation we had. The place was nearly empty, but... More

Cafe Gianni and Downtown Pizza are delicious cohabitors of the same property. Our family had dinner at Downtown Pizza, the casual side of the restaurant, on Saturday night. Everything on the menu is $7.95, and choices included Greek salad, chicken parmesan, individual (10 inch) pizzas, and pasta dishes like lasagna and spaghetti. My son devoured his manicotti, and everyone enjoyed... More

Great food great service! Excellent wine and dessert selection. I am Italian and know great Italian food. I have eaten in Italian restaurants in NYC which are considered some of the best. This one can stand up to even NYC's best! More

Eustis, Florida is quite nice although very small, and I didn't expect to find such a high-end restaurant there. Cafe Gianni exceeded my expectations. The pasta was fresh, the quality was excellent. I had the lobster ravioli and my mom (very picky) had the pasta primavera. The food was great, I would highly recommend Cafe Gianni and will definitely go... More

We stopped by Cafe Gianni during our first ever visit to Eustis, and we were very impressed with everything about this restaurant! We enjoyed our lunch in the casual side of the restaurant (the fine dining is only open for dinner) . We chose to eat inside, although there is outdoor seating available also. The restaurant is located in the... More
