Cafe Gianni Gianni's Italian

We had an outstanding early dinner at Cafe Gianni. The food was fresh and flavorful; the service was attentive and friendly. We are already planning our next visit.

What a lovely place to gather for lunch or dinner. Will make another trip to Gianni,s again and again. The chief definitely loves what he dose, and thank you for sharing your grandmother dishes! Delicious!!!! I loved how personable the waitress was and the owner/chief coming out to see if we were enjoying his meals he had freshly prepared. Even if you are full DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT DESSERT!

Great authentic Italian food in downtown Mt. Dora. We came by boat and our party of six enjoyed dining in this gem of a restaurant. Everyone ordered something different and shared a taste experience of their delightful meals. Every bite phenomenal !!! We are planning to go back next week and dine again with Chef Gianni !

We really enjoyed our experience there. It was a slow night so we got to meet the chef, very charming and our waiter was very attentive. We had the mussels as an appetizer which were excellent and perfect for dipping the home made bread. The menu has plenty of options but disappointing that there were no fish selections that were not farmed raised. However the pasta with shrimp and pears and it was amazing!!
No room for desert.. quaint atmosphere. You should definitely go. If they had a slightly better wine list and some fresh fish I would have given it a 4!

I love this place. The food is always fresh and delicious. They have seasonal local choices that add a little variety and keep us going back. Service, at times, can be their weak link but it's never bad just not as good as the menu. Atmosphere is perfect and location is perfect. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal in a nice small town.
