Bill Gianino's Restaurant

We were in a party of 40 people with 3 menu choices the host picked and paid. So, the food choice was limited. The service was great. No problems. I gave the waiter an additional tip for doing a great job.

Kevin out waiter was amazing he was very busy but still made sure to take care of us and all his other tables. We came for our Valentine's with my hubby. Thanks for makeing our night special ❤️

A classy place for sure. The wait staff could not be nicer or more attentive. The warm bread was delicious. The side salad that comes with the meals was a little too drenched in dressing but the other ingredients were great with a good amount of mushrooms. The portion is very generous for a side salad. The salmon with pecans was cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor. The side of spinach and carrots was underwhelming. I would not recommend getting the carrots as a side dish. The caesar salad dressing was very powerful so be aware if you don’t like a strong dressing. The lunch menu prices aren’t bad but the regular menu can get pretty pricey. The overall experience was great and the menu has tons of options to explore.

I had some great food at this place, but I was highly disappointed that there was not one staff member who was wearing a mask. I certainly was the oddity in the whole building, being one who was wearing a mask, as they do not require them for their customers, either

That being said, let me tell you about the delicious food. My friends and I ordered the garlic cheese bread. It was five, maybe six good size pieces of Italian bread with their garlic butter and what they call “StL pizza cheese”, which is Provel, of course. It was served with a slightly sweet marinara sauce that was really pretty good.

Friend #1 got the 12” Frank’s Special Delight pizza which had hamburger, pepperoni, big pieces of bacon, onions and peppers. I did not have any, but my friend sure liked it! It did look amazing, I will say.

I shared the Cod Piccata with Friend #2. I’m glad I shared it, because it was a large portion. The waitress was good enough to split the order, giving us two beautiful plates of this dinner - lightly breaded cod in the lemon caper sauce - and it was just the right size and quite delicious.

This came with their house salad, which was really pretty darn big (even being split) and very tasty. It had raw mushrooms in it, and I didn’t think I would like them, but mixed with everything else in the salad they were quite acceptable. The dressing was slightly sweet, but totally excellent and it was just a good salad.

It also came with a side of cavatappi (in a light white sauce), which was ok, but nothing to write home about - I took it home and will pile on some cheese for lunch later this week, and it will be fine.

So there you go, not totally comfortable with the lack of Covid precautions in the building, but their food was good.
