This is the story of Paolo and Matteo, two guys from Milano who had an idea. Let's take the heart of our tradition and fuse it with the exciting innovations happening in Italian cooking, they said. Inspired by the Roman deity Janus who looked to the future as well as the past, Giano respects tradition and embraces the future. We like to think of our little corner in the east village as quite special, and hope you will too

Very nice staff greeted us. It was much smaller than I anticipated and we sat at a table towards the back where I was looking at a prep area and cleaning bottle. Not the most appetizing ambiance. Food was good. Waiter put bread in little bag for our table with bare hands and had just been on his cell phone. You would have hoped he would use gloves or a napkin to pick up bread. No liquor only wine. Overall okay.

Giano is my go-to Italian spot in the East Village. The owners from Milan bring authentic flavors to every dish, and the warm, welcoming vibe feels like home. The Rigatoni Con Salsiccia is a must-try—I’ve ordered it countless times, and it’s always perfect. Giano is a true neighborhood gem!

Server was great, until he told us our entrées, which had been ordered more than an hour ago, would be “one minute” when we didn’t receive them for another 10+. (We checked our watches/texts.) Our food arrived staggered, with one of our party receiving his food last, then having to scarf down his meal in under 5 minutes. Server comped our bottle of wine, but at least one meal should have been comped also. Uncomfy wooden bench seating along wall.
