Service was excellent and the food was incredible! We were in the whine cellar (behind the building) wonderful atmosphere. Couldn’t give this place enough stars if I wanted too. (Drinks in photos were already indulged in )

Not great honestly. The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t impressive either, not really worth it if you ask me. I make better pasta at home and I am nowhere near qualified to be considered a chef.
Service was friendly but couldn’t tell us how much the specials would cost which never has happened in any restaurant, that’s basic information really. On top of that, they didn’t really care that it was my girlfriend’s birthday. Not even a happy birthday. I would recommend to go elsewhere to celebrate a special event.
The tables are also really close together which in itself is not a huge issue but the acoustics are really bad which makes it hard to hear each other talk.
The atmosphere in the backroom is not great, it feels like you are eating in a auto garage.
On a positive note, the wine list was quite extensive and well curated.
All in all, I won’t be back. Doing research on where to eat this place came back as overrated by some and underrated by others so your mileage may vary I guess.

I got the mushroom ravioli and my wife got the 4-cheese pasta and both were absolutely incredible. The portions are very generous and the atmosphere is great. My only complaint was our server seemed a bit flippant with our presence. My wife made the comment that maybe we weren’t spending enough money for her to care since we didn’t get bottles of wine or any alcohol from the bar.

After years of trying to get a reservation when I was in town, we finally got in for my son’s 19th birthday.
I had high expectations from everything people had said for years and how hard it was to get a reservation on short notice. Working in an Italian restaurant myself in the recent past I feel like I can make a fair judgement in comparison to higher class Italian restaurants in larger cities and even outside Homewood.
I was disappointed that mac and cheese was a side in an upper scale menu, just took the class level down a notch for me.
We started with the burrata and I loved that it wasnt served with bread but that you use the meat to wrap it and eat it, delicious. The lamb was amazing!
My son ordered a mocktail before ordering food and we didn’t get it until half way through dinner, seems like the staff forgot about it or there wasn’t anyone to run it. I also mentioned we were celebrating my son’s birthday and even when ordering dessert there wasn’t anything done, no candle or happy birthday, and when we were finishing up and I payed the bill, they were singing to another table with a candle.
The lighting was too bright to make it feel cozy, it felt more like an upscale family diner than a romantic Italian restaurant to me.
Our server was wonderful personality wise.
I’m usually not this critical of a place, but felt really disappointed that there’s so much hype and it didn’t live up to the kind of place I was expecting.
It was a one and done for us.

Our first visit. We easily found parking on the street and chose the wine bar dining area in the back (reservations not required). We received a friendly greeting and were seated immediately. Our server was excellent and explained all the specials in detail. The atmosphere was great. It felt like we were in a cabin/chalet. It got a little loud, as the room filled up, but we had an enjoyable evening. We will return and hope to snag one of the outdoor tables on a warmer evening.

The restaurant provided great service and an extensive selection of options to choose from. We enjoyed a peaceful dinner even on a busy night. Our meal included steamed mussels, Caesar salad, lasagna, linguine with clams, and we finished with a flourless chocolate cake. The wines and cocktails were spot on. Thank you, and see you again soon.

My husband and I tried out gianmarcos for a last minute date night. We went to the wine bar in the back and had a great time! Wine by the bottle was super reasonable and a very nice selection. The staff was super welcoming and made some great recommendations. My husband had the snapper special and I got the lasagna and we both loved our meals. Super cozy intimate atmosphere. Definitely get there early if you don’t want a wait though. Valet was complimentary and super easy. I’ll definitely be back!

The short version: no parking, long wait, bad staff, cold food.
My experience at Gianmarcos was incredibly disappointing. We were not seated until almost 45 minutes after our reservation, there is no seating or proper waiting area so you are just standing around the bar for almost an hour, and that’s the experience with a reservation. There is no dedicated parking lot, you must either valet or park in front of someones house and hike around the neighborhood to even get inside. Once we were finally brought to our table, we found that it was more or less in the middle of a doorway (which later lead to a waiter bumping into the back of my head in the middle of my dinner. Unacceptable). We had 3 people come to our table to drop off bread or water and none of them really said anything, and when our waiter arrived they never introduced themselves, they just told us the specials and weren’t very personable. The wait for the food was not terrible, around 35-40 minutes with a full restaurant, but much to my dismay my food came out room temperature. My food along with one of the other meals at my table was room temperature, and one was mildly warm. The only food that came the correct temperature was the salad one of the people at my table ordered, which was also unfortunately the best item we ate that night. During my dining experience I saw two other tables send food back to the kitchen while I was there. I would have been upset at this service even if it was from a very affordable chain restaurant, but for it to come from a restaurant that makes itself out to be such high quality was very disappointing.

Pasta was great. Not a lot of vegetarian options though. On the expensive side compared to other places in Birmingham. No line because there’s lots of seating but it’s pretty tight seating in the dining room.
