    Very delightful dinner. Ordered carrot cake for dessert and it was obscenely large even for two people - but it was delicious.

    From the moment we walked in we felt like we were in a factory. Everything was rush rush rush. Ordered cocktails and when the waitress delivered them she wanted to take our order. We were hoping to enjoy our drink. She returned very shortly and wanted to take our order. She barely walked away and our salads were delivered. Warm lettuce yuk. Before we could finish our salads our entrees arrived. Food was just okay, nothing to write home about. We were still eating and the waitress wanted to know if we wanted desert. We said no thank you and she handed us our bill. Here’s your coat and get out basically. Staff was not friendly especially the hostesses. Not impressed and prices aren’t cheap. My wife used the bathroom and the paper towels were all over the floor and definitely needed attention. Not returning here for sure. I could have gotten a better meal at Olive Garden.

    Very nice restaurant. In the past, everything has been much better. Tonight, not so much. Ordered some shell fish with pasta for dinner. The scallops were so overcooked they were inedible. My wife said my whole dish tasted microwaved (maybe to heat up?) She ordered one of her favorite chicken dishes for dinner. It was also overcooked and dry. Very disappointing.

    Excellent food, service and friendliness. What more could you ask for? We had pasta and seafood, both really good. First time there, will definitely go back.

    This was an awful experience for a Father's Day meal with my son. It took 55 minutes for the pasta course to arrive. We were assured at 45 minutes that it would only be "3 more minutes." The server finally admitted that they were short-handed in the kitchen and were getting another chef come from another restaurant to assist. The pasta tasted like it came out of a box, not homemade. The penne with pesto was drenched in pesto and swimming in olive oil. This is probably to mask the awful quality of the pasta. We gave up and cancelled the fish course. We went to another restaurant and enjoyed a very nice (late) meal. We will not be returning to Gianni's Cafe in Kildeer.
