I had the pleasure of dining for the first time at Gianni's in Pompano. We were seated in the 2nd dining room, where the feeling of intimacy was wonderful, as we shared the back room with only one other party. The pasta fagioli soup was hot and delicious, and it was served in a huge bowl, not some small coffee cup! The garlic bread was wonderful... crispy, not soggy... a garlic-lover's delight! The salad that accompanied the entree was also delightful... a balsamic vinegraitte dressing with all sorts of goodies?feta cheese and peppers and onions, oh my! And the eggplant rollatini, which I use to judge ALL Italian restaurants in the area, was first-rate! Delicious marinara sauce... it took a great amount of self-control to not lick the plate clean! My friends ordered the linguini with clam sauce (superb... I took a bite!), and the Monday special (spaghetti and meatballs), also first-rate, and incredibly generous for a lunch! As a transplanted New Yorker, I take my Italian food very seriously, and this place is top notch! Can't wait to go back for dinner!
Pros: Ample parking, friendly and attentive servers, great Italian ambience... loved the tablecloths and cloth napkins!
Cons: Couldn't find any!
