Best pasta I’ve ever had in NYC! They make it fresh right there everyday. All the staff members where very kind and attentive. A must go

Excellent service and authentic delicious Italian food. Will definitely be back

Giano in the East Village is a charming Italian gem in NYC. Despite a disappointing anniversary experience and a credit card tip inflation incident, the restaurant shines with heavenly tiramisu, fresh bruschetta, and handcrafted pasta at reasonable prices. Impeccable service and delicious food make it a must-visit spot, with customers returning continuously and rave reviews confirming its excellence. From delivery orders to dining in, Giano impresses with unique and scrumptious pasta dishes, making it mandatory for any NYC food list. A cozy, intimate setting and top-notch pasta flavors ensure a delightful dining experience every time.

Very romantic Italian spot with very friendly staff and great food. The pasta with mushrooms and white sauce was great, as was the bruschetta and the tiramisu.
