RUSTIC ITALIAN CUISINE ROOTED IN LOUISIANA TRADITION AND TECHNIQUE
Nominated by the James Beard Foundation as the Best New Restaurant in 2019, and the newest member of the Link Restaurant Group family, Gianna offers daily antipasti including cured salami and olives, a curated selection of savory small plates and entrees, highlighting locally grown produce and Gulf seafood, as well as house-made pastas. The menu also features a ‘Feed Me” option, offering guests the experience of a four course meal with dishes hand-picked by executive chef, Rebecca Wilcomb.
Bar
The bar program is inspired by the Aperitivo culture, the Italian tradition of enjoying a drink with friends while awakening the taste buds. An extensive bar menu includes a unique selection of Vermouth, Aperitivo, and Amari, concocted into cocktails meant to stimulate the appetite. The wine list with its strong focus on Italy includes specialties like Garganega from the Veneto region, and Falanghina, a white grape variety from Campania.
About Us
