Giannelli's "A Taste Of Italy" — Restaurant in Grants Pass

Okay so I just wanted to see what Gianelli's sandwiches were all about. I'm a very very picky person when it comes to two sandwiches. The Cheesesteak and the meatball. My wife got the Reuben and she said it was great I however did not try it. So let's start with the cheesesteak. The Cheesesteak at Gianelli's could not be closer to Pat's or Geno's in Philly. I grew up on their Philly cheesesteaks. And here we are in Grants Pass Oregon at Gianelli's and this is the best cheesesteak I have come across outside of Philadelphia. I will be ordering from there anytime I want a cheesesteak. The other two places that I regularly get my cheesesteaks from are good but they do not come close to Gianelli's. So I give their Cheesesteak 10 stars all the way. Now let's move right on over to the meatball. The meatball sandwich at Gianelli's is very very good. Better than any other meatball sandwich I have had in Oregon. So yes, I will be ordering my two favorite sandwiches from this restaurant all the time. As far as price goes? 13.50 per sandwich and I do not believe that price is any more than the other two places that I normally get sandwiches. So all in all if you like a good cheese steak and a good meatball sandwich then I recommend you go to Gianelli's you're not going to find better anywhere else trust me when I say that! I can't say anything about the atmosphere of this place because I've never eaten inside. But I can say this, whoever took my order over the phone was great. She was friendly, she was funny and she laughed at my dumb jokes. My wife and I will stop and have dinner there soon. Thank you Gianelli's and we will see you again soon. And just so you know, this is Winchester! LOL UPDATE: TODAY 8/30/2024, ORDERED ANOTHER PHILLY, ALFREDO, AND THE SAUTÉED BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!!! AMAZING!!!!!...

This was our first visit to this restaurant so we did not know what to expect. Went on a Thursday night. They were short on their staff that night and the server was busting her hump to take care of everyone, so under those circumstances it did take a little while to get waited on but that was no big deal. I Ordered my favorite. Fettuccine Alfredo. My companion wanted to order lasagna but was informed they were out so he ordered the spaghetti dinner instead. The salad was very refreshing. We are used to being served a salad consisting of just iceberg lettuce and a few cut up tomatoes in most restaurants. This salad had red lettuce, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and possibly spinach. It was great. Now for the main course: my Fettuccine Alfredo was so delicious. It's really hard to find good Alfredo sauce in a restaurant in this town. This sauce was smooth and creamy and rich. The garlic toast was was also yummy. There was also a little side of string beans that were prepared some way which I am not sure of but, they were excellent. Overall I loved my dinner. My companion however was not fond of the spaghetti at all. He said it tasted to garlicky but like me thought the salad was very good. The chef came out and walked around to all the tables asking how everything was. We found out that she is the owner. Very nice lady. We will definitely go back again and hopefully they will have lasagna. The only reason this review got 4 stars instead of 5 is because my companion really wanted lasagna and they were out and he did not care for...

Well, this is unfortunate but seems like a no brainer that rudeness will always deter people from supporting you. My husband and I wanted to give this place a try and support small business but not anymore. We were dropping off our chicken eggs to a friend next door and so we were parked in the back where the parking lot was completely empty in a position where we could easily turn around considering we would be there for let’s say 3 minutes or less. Some woman was waiting at the side door and as soon as I walked by said “you can’t park there like that!” And I said “oh sorry, we were just dropping something off really quick.” She said “DOESN’T MATTER.” So I just said “yep, ok.” And now she has 4 less customers including whoever reads this review and any of our friends that I will tell not to waste their money on such rude people. Hopefully this is a lesson learned for her.

My response back to you is that I completely understand where you’re coming from. Had you said that or something like that this wouldn’t even be a conversation and I would’ve respected your wishes, but the way you handled it in that moment was rude. I would hardly say we were parked there, it was 2 minutes, and it was in a place that didn’t stop anyone from getting access to your lot. I was trying to give you my explanation and you could’ve given me yours but instead you decided to reprimand a stranger. I hope you have a wonderful...
