What JamesL doesn't like about Trattoria Gianni:
The Restaurant Week deal was good value. If you're looking for cheap drinks with your meal, this is not the place. The cheapest bottle of wine was around $55. Otherwise, the Pork Chop and Veal meatballs were excellent. View all feedback. What Jacquie Mark likes about Trattoria Gianni:
A perfect round table in a corner to celebrate 2 friend’s birthdays and easily chat before an evening at Steppenwolf. Delicious food, excellent service and we arrived at the theatre in time. View all feedback.

How has this place been open for 30 years and I have never heard of it?! I don't even know where to begin about how good this place was.
We went to Trattoria Gianni on a Tuesday night around 7:30 pm and sat outside in the patio, which is amazing and very charming.
My husband and I live in the neighborhood and thought we would order pick-up from Trattoria Gianni (we had previously dined on the patio and enjoyed a nice

read moreTrattoria Gianni is a charming neighborhood restaurant on Halsted with a cozy vibe perfect for a pre-Steppenwolf dinner or a date night out. The food is a hit or miss - while some dishes like the special bracciole are excellent, others like the gnocchi can be lackluster. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food provided. Service can be a bit inconsistent, with some diners receiving excellent service while others have complaints about slow service or rudeness from servers. Despite this, the restaurant's homemade pasta, great desserts, and attentive owner make it a worthwhile visit. Outdoor seating is available on a spacious patio, providing privacy from street traffic. Overall, Trattoria Gianni offers exceptional food, but be cautious of additional charges such as for iced tea. Despite some minor issues, many diners plan to return to this spot for its delicious food and pleasant ambiance.
We got there early and the place filled up while we were there. Food was excellent and our waiter was friendly. Glad we tried it, we would go back.
