Giannfranco's Trattoria - Italian Restaurant
Reviews
The best Italian cuisine in the area. Rich authentic flavors with many options. Always a pleasant experience in a great atmosphere. Wait staff are very attentive and polite and I am pretty sure it is family owned and operated.
The waitstaff is amazing. Really love going there and chatting with them. Their recommendations are fantastic, we loved everything they suggested from entrees to wine. Food is fresh and tasty, and the ambiance is quite charming, but not pretentious.
Fan!tastic! We read the reviews and figured with all raves and a couple nays it was probably ok. But this was better than expected. Franco greeted us at the door. We sat outside near a babbling fountain. we were checked on often enough to feel appreciated but not so much to interrupt us. Seemed like warm chat with friends. The food was so good we savored every bite. If your on a budget skip the drinks and appetizers but its still worth visiting this wonderful ristorante.
Real Italian with reasonable portion sizes and reasonable prices. Best desserts in Carpinteria. I've tried about half the menu and everything has been good to excellent so far. Service used to be a problem but has long since gotten smoothed out.
Probably my favorite Italian restaurant. From the salad, main entree, to the dessert. Absolutely perfect! My only complaint would be the bread, but the rest is so good...... Service was amazing too!!
