I recently had my retirement/birthday party at this location and I must say it was a great place to have my event. The space was perfect and the ambience was beautiful especially when looking out the window you see the bridge, water and the city lights. My guests loved it and I am still getting great feedback on my party. The only complaint my guests had was that the parking space was filled up. I don't know if it's because I had that many people (210). Otherwise everything went perfect. The food was delicious and the staff was very attentive and made me feel very important. Elizabeth and Lucy was very helpful with the organization and decorating. Joe was very professional and kept his word on everything. I would love to have another event here and highly recommend this venue if you looking to have a big event.

My husband and I got married at Giando's on Dec 28 2024 and it was utter perfection. Before we were even engaged I had a vision of a stunning nighttime ceremony, lit by tons candles, and a cityscape backdrop, and the space at Giando's as well as Joe and his staff truly made my vision come to life with all of that and more with not one but two bridges to light up our photos PERFECTLY! Even though it was one of the cloudiest days (and rained a ton), the skyline came through and painted the most beautiful background for our night and our guests were truly in awe. We got SO many compliments on stunning room, views, and the amazing food which was so important to us (people particularly loved how they got not one but two filets!). They have a hugeee, bright, and beautiful bridal suite complete with a bar and more of that city skyline, where I took my getting ready photos with all my girls and family (I'm one of nine just to show you how much room there was), and I particularly loved the awesome elevator photos we got, SO CUTE! It was better than my pintrest board could have ever predicted! The staff was also incredible! I'm a bit type A and got married right around the holidays so extra stress but Joe and his team were more than patient, accommodating working with our many DIYs, flipping the ceremony space so fast despite all my little details, and they truly treated us like family. We could not be happier! Everyone says you won't eat and at least one thing will go wrong but we ATE and we had zero regrets all night! It was perfection. Little bonus that we can come back every year to the restaurant for the same amazing food and views for our anniversary 1000/10!!

Finishing out my 2024 things to do list and I wanted to make sure I did this review. We attended a friend's birthday party June 28 and we could not have asked for a better experience. Every dish was delicious and well seasoned - salmon, pasta, mashed potatoes, salad, and spinach. It's difficult to maintain a buffet's freshness. This restaurant did so perfectly. Moreover, the staff was attentive and friendly. Finally, no one could have asked for a better view. Looking forward to returning on my next visit to New York.

Recently went there for a wedding, Awesome views, great atmosphere, great parking lot, the waiters in the waitresses, were phenomenal. Cocktail hour lots of choices, too Many things to mention,Very tasty and a lot of choices. There salad right amount of dressing fresh. The pasta course nice thick tomato sauce, really good. The main course I had the chicken, nice slice of chicken cutlet, don't recall the style, the vegetables that came with it was very good, the chicken was perfectly suited. Great place for a wedding

Took a trek to Brooklyn for a few friend's bridal shower. The venue has spectacular views of the Brooklyn bridge and river. Great photo ops. The food was surprisingly good as was the service. It's definitely worth a visit to the restaurant if you are in the area.

Food: I have to admit that I didn't expect the food to be as well seasoned and delicious as it was. OMG...everything on the plate was delicious and it was so much that I couldn't finish eating everything on the plate, lol. Generous portions for sure. Service: The service was impressive and impeccable!!! From the doorman to the food servers and everyone in between, our family couldn't have asked for better service. Ambiance: I traveled from Houston to celebrate mi 92 year old abuelita and tío's birthday in Brooklyn, NY. The locale was well situated and the venue was decorated in a very classy style with a breathtaking outdoor setting. Just perfect!

Cool spot on one of the busiest locations in BK. Drive slow or you'll miss the entrance because at first glance all you see is a black wrought iron fence and you immediately think it's gotta be an empty lot but look just beyond into it and you see a huge Giando sign on the side of the building. Valet parking only and you walk towards some unassuming glass doors into a beautifully appointed "lobby" where you're asked what party you're here for and they take you upstairs or into the main room and I think they have a party room downstairs too. Event I was here for was a small wedding reception set up in the back area of the main dining room. Gorgeous view of the BK bridge, sunset and downtown city skyline. Room was packed half with the wedding guests and the other half with diners with reservations but the noise level was never intrusive to our party. Meal was your basic Italian catering items... You got a delicious dressed salad, a penne ala vodka pasta, your choice of steak, chicken marsala or salmon fracaise and for dessert they served the wedding cake, coffee/espresso and a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream, that immediately became affogato for me. Servers were attentive and present! I definitely would host an event here!
