The food itself is not the worst because their food is really cheap. However, the food wasn't the best, it was kinda weird. I ordered the veal sandwich, and all I could taste was just straight up tomato, and nothing else. The meat wasn't tender, no seasoning, and tasted off, it kinda reminds me of plane food. The bread is really big, and oddly really stuffy ?? Dunno how to describe it, but bread didn't really fit well. However, I have to admit that it's really filling ans they do give a lot of meat for the price. The place is kinda small and messy, but I think most people do take outs.

All the good reviews are friends of the owner. Salt on salt and dry food and waste of money. You won’t get anything good here. Nothing is fresh and my pasta and sandwich was sickening. The pizza is even worst

Never order the pasta here, they're all salty and dry. The sandwiches are also tasteless. I like how they're advertising it as Detroit styled Italian food but nothing about it is Detroit styled or Italian at all.

It's a small restaurant with great food service by the chef and the owner! You will enjoy the food and take my word you SHOULD VISIT this place

Tried this place for the first time since the reviews were good, so let’s start with what was good! The amount of veal and toppings you get is great. Alright that’s all the good, now for the bad, as an Italian who’s had many veal sandwiches from all over the city, this was probably the biggest disappointment I’ve had so far. 1. The sauce: This is not good sauce period, they put a lot of it (far too much as it was spread all over the wrapper before I cleaned it up) it tasted like a sauce I’d expect to get from a cheap can in a store and quite frankly smelled a bit nauseating. If you are expecting an authentic Italian sauce this is not it. 2. The veal: lots of meat, love that… BUT it’s cut far too thick for a veal sandwich and made eating it incredibly difficult. It wasn’t especially tender either and was more chewy than I expected. 3. The bun: The bun is a very basic white roll that was far too dense for this already dense sandwich 4: The toppers: I got mushroom, cheese and hot peppers like I always do, cheese and mushrooms were fine but nothing special and the hot peppers weren’t spicy enough to come through all that horrible sauce In all, this sandwich had potential and if it had a half decent sauce it would have been much more palatable. My friend and I had a stomach ache after eating the first half and tossed the rest (take that as you will), my recommendation, if you enjoy food that’s trying to be Italian badly, go for it. If you want a real veal sandwich, this is not the place in my opinion. Service was friendly that’s a plus, but the restaurant itself is not a place I’d recommend sitting to eat at now with all the construction in the area.

Follow @bredgyeats for yummy food pictures! A small shop that served up big portions in the veal sandwiches, numerous layers of veal cutlets smashed thin and fried with a breadcrumb coating, allowing it to soak up tons of their sweet and tangy tomato sauce, along with a topping of hot peppers and an additional order of mushrooms inside for another layer of umami.

Delicious, fresh, warm service, massive portions, and open late. Definitely coming back. Got a veal sandwich and bruschetta. Had half of it and was so full. Nick is very warm and welcoming.

I visited Gianni's for the first time and it was absolutely amazing! I chose the veal sandwich, which was incredibly delicious and had some of the freshest veal I've ever tasted. Eating it might get a bit messy because the sauce was just right, and there was definitely more veal than bun. The owner is super friendly – he even asked for my name and introduced himself to build a connection. They offer daily specials, and the prices are really reasonable for what you're getting. 10/10
