Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The place is very fairly priced. However, considered as almost a Michelin star restaurant, they did not meet our expectation. The food was good, but not fantastic. The biggest issue was the fact that they brought someone elses main courses to us and insisted for...a while that those were ours. However, after a minute they did realize their mistake and took them away. Then we had to wait about 40 minutes again for our main course. No sincere apologies were provided by anyone for the mistake or for the delay.More

We went back in February for Valentine's Day. I heard so much about the truffle pasta and had to try it. Only reason I went there. It was, yes, very worth it.

Visited on a Saturday evening. Location was a bit outside the main center area (but not too far, some 5min walk). Enjoyed a very tasty Italian dinner, especially pasta and beef were very good. Exceptional service and very decent price level. Will definitely come again

Lovely restaurant, beautiful setting, friendly staff. We had a pizza and a risotto, sadly the risotto was lacking taste but the dessert more than made up to it.

To be honest the service was not good and our expectations were much higher. Food was good but how it was presented was poor (vitello tonnato)! The waitress just left our wine bottle on the table, but does’t fill glasses. Dissapointing was also when we...decided to have our dessert at the café, when we got to the café, we were told that they are closed. So no dessert for us! Overpriced, unfortunately can’t recommend.More

Overrated. Service unattentive and mediocre food. Usually for this price in Tallinn you get great service and food but this was probably the worst experience compared to the price.

Location is actually pretty good, although not the prettiest one next to busy streets, but close to Harbour and for example Rotermann area. There were 5 of us and maybe this wasn't a 5-star experience we were waiting for, but still overall good dinner is...nice ambience. We had 2 different staff members serving us during evening and both were friendly and professional. My starter Vitello Tonnato was a little disappointment, with too thick veal slices. But Parmegiana Risotto with Truffle was 10/10. Prices were quite reasonable and I have to give them another chance to fullfill those real high expectationsMore

As it was near to our hotel we had a coffee and some dessert in the cafe. We liked the service and we wanted to have dinner at night. But it was not a good idea. The restaurant has a nice ambience. But as this...is a fine dine restaurant I want to criticize some details. We had 3 courses of meat . -Sliced beef fillet with balsamico, rucola and parmesan -Beef fillet with green pepper and cognac sauce -Grilled beef entrecote with fried onions First two were almost perfect but entrecote was a very bad experience. We don’t mind fat on an entrecôtei. We know it is a part of meat but this was the worst entrecote we saw.This one had an unacceptable amount of vein of very tough gristle. Service was not good. There was a fly in the wine. I tried to take the fly with a fork and expected the waitress to see and offer to change the wine but she only took the fork but did not offer to change the wine. We ordered 3 cups of coffee, 2 of the cups came with coffee stains. In the old town you can find restaurants with better service and food.More

Gianni is really not to be missed restaurant when you visit Tallin. It has an excellent menu, refined cuisine and top service. It is Michelin recommended with a Chef Costantine who blends his soul with his kitchen know how. The menu can satisfy all Italian...food lovers. The food is really exquisite with very tender meat and choice of seafood. The service by Alexy and Jūlija is worth all the excellent restaurants in the world. Just let them advise you. Do not miss this restaurant when you visit Tallin.More
