Gianna's - Yonkers

This has become our place to go over the past few months. Well prepared and generously plated food, welcoming atmosphere, friendly and respectful service and a well stocked bar, all contributed to that conclusion. Recently I discovered the Codfish Marechiara dish. Similar to the Zuppa Di Pesce but without the pasta. Lots of shell fish on Tom of a chunk of cod fish, in a red sauce. Delicious! The Honey likes the Chicken Marsala generously flavored with the Marsala wine (as you 'd expect). And there is always the dessert, to top off a good dinner. We 're definitely coming back.

Food and service were very good. Restaurant can get very loud and noisy. Multiple tv's at the bar area which attracts a sports crowd.

Okay so Friday and I'm wondering what to feed the wife and kids. I immediately thought of this place for pizza. But not your avg pizza, the thin sliced crunchy type. So I ordered pickup. Guy on the phone was accommodating and nice enough while placing my orders. I ordered a large pie (8 slices btw) which, in retrospect, is not enough to feed two kids 12 and under my wife and I. I'll come back to this later. I also ordered a broccoli rab and cheese calzone. I was raving about this after it entered my mouth. Also ordered a regular salad (good portions) w/ creamy balsamic delish! All this came to 33$ and some change. Seems like a decent price the only issue is that the large pizza is more like a medium sized pizza. I was disappointed with this. Cmon make a large pizza a freakin LRGE PIZZA! It really doesn't take that much more dough. And since this restaurant doesn't go heavy with mozzarella, (not a huge deal breaker) they can afford to make the large pie more like 11 12 slices w/o breaking the bank. Other than that major complaint, the broccoli Rab calzone was AMAZING! And the salad was fresh a good size and the balsamic, creamy as hell, was very tasty! Make the pies larger and you have a customer for life. Now get crack a lack in' pizziaolo! Buon Appetito ya filthy animals!

Never a bad meal, ever!! Moderately priced but worth it! Meatballs appetizer and chicken scarpiello entre are top notch! Great environment for socializing, celebrations and a night out.

Very good food excellent prices. Great waiters. Their pizza's are especially good, which says a lot in the New York metropolitan area.
