My husband and I always visit here once a while. Never got disappointed with the steak especially with red currant sauce which is incredible. Every bite crunchy on the outside and extremely tender in the inside! The execution of the fat just perfect. I think it’s one of the best in JB. Risotto also taste superb!
But their sea bass does dropped a lot which I probably won’t order again.
The US Sirloin, Salmon and Cheese baked chicken breast were good. Steak and salmon were done just the way it should be to retain its succulence. The calamari was a delight too. Not oily. We have been patronising Gianni's and Sweetwater. We are happy to note that both Gianni's and Sweetwater are consistent in their standard each time we visit.
One of best lunch we ever had, the service from the staff is superb. Cosy environment. Looking forward for another meal here.
For native JB folks, Gianni’s is among those withstood the test of time. I recall the numerous family celebrations we had here, and the good old Italian food we had in this same dining hall.
The bolognese ragu is among the most authentic (or maybe old-schooled) I have ever tried, certainly the best in JB. While at RM80, or RM90+ after tax may seem steep- I must say it isn’t easy to maintain this in JB. After all, most wanting something western could have settled with some “tomato minced beef”. If you truly want the Bolognese Ragu, you should try it here.
The calamari though, was slightly disappointing. The freshness and taste hit just the right spot, but the batter is not coated equally. Some of the rings were “naked”; others have their coating clumped together.
Overall, Gianni’s serves hearty food but also fond memories. Together with other giants in town like Chez Papa / Rosmarino / Furusato, these restaurants pulled through the pandemic and continue serving the town with top quality cuisine as they have been for the past 10+ years. They may not be as social-media friendly as the newer restaurateurs, but they are certainly extraordinary at getting both your tummy and heart filled.
Even the pizza can have wok hey smell you know! excellent food and service. Cozy ambience, fair price. I will be back again!

IWA Christmas Lunch 2021 🎄
Gianni's Trattoria Pelangi
We had a lovely Christmas Lunch get together this year. As always the food is sumptuous and the private area is perfect for a more exclusive event. This restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Johor Bahru for years and always the favourite to go to of expats in the community.
Most of our private events were held in Giannis Trattoria Pelangi. Always a lovely celebration indeed no matter what it is!

Our usual destination for an authentic taste of italian. Carpaccio is a definite must try. Mind blowing taste ignites every taste buds in your mouth.
Recommended by a friend, nice ambience and friendly staff! Had set lunch which was great!
