Food wasn’t great. Mediocre taste. It’s the name that’s drawing the crowds. Not the food.

A favorite when in South Beach! An environment only Versace could create. Delicious Italian dishes and a nice list of wines all reasonably priced for such a memorable experience. The entire staff is fantastic. Shout out to our servers Joaquin L. and Salvatore for providing us a memorable evening. Highly recommend a reservation and dress to impress.

Waiters and hosts very rude and not helpful. I dont know if it was language barrier or noise level. But they didnt understand that I told them their shrimp was under cooked. He wouldnt take it off the bill. I was so disgusted it kind of ruined the rest of the experience. I asked what they where known for he pointed to the 3 most expensive items on the menu. According to other reviews none of what he said was true. I guess since Miami forces the 20% gratuity law these servers dont care unless your buying the most expensive things on the menu. I would suggest getting a cheap pizza take a few pics of the beautiful mansion then move on to a good restaurant. Some dressed for a good night. But they allow customers in with tennis shoes and tshirts. I was very disappointed traveling all this way for a very expensive mediocre experience. I will never be back to this restaurant. I tend to never do bad reviews because one offs can happen. But because of the price people need to know. Not worth it.

FAQs

Yes, Gianni's offers a uniquely romantic setting in the former Versace Mansion, and several guests recommend it for anniversaries and special evenings, especially poolside tables.

Expect a bustling, crowded scene at peak visits, many guests report packed dining rooms, long waits (40–55 minutes), and a very busy poolside area; lunches and some weekday visits, by contrast, have felt calmer on certain visits.

Sunday is a favourite, Gianni's runs a three-course Sunday brunch (10:00 am–3:30 pm) that guests repeatedly praise for its value and experience.

Lunch or Sunday brunch are excellent choices, the three-course lunch (about $39.50) is regularly praised for value, and brunch runs Sundays 10:00–3:30; if you want a livelier evening, note the live DJ on Thursday–Saturday nights.

Yes, families are welcome: guests report dining with children (including a 9‑year‑old) and staff have created special birthday moments for younger guests, while the three-course lunch and Sunday brunch make for easy family meals.

Portions are generally described as a satisfying, right-sized meal, and a few dishes (for example, the chicken Milanese or a truffle pizza upgrade) have been called shareable or large enough to split.

Business casual is the guide, aim for neat, polished attire rather than formalwear; many guests dress up a touch for anniversaries and special occasions.
