This is the story of Paolo and Matteo, two guys from Milano who had an idea. Let's take the heart of our tradition and fuse it with the exciting innovations happening in Italian cooking, they said. Inspired by the Roman deity Janus who looked to the future as well as the past, Giano respects tradition and embraces the future. We like to think of our little corner in the east village as quite special, and hope you will too

    Both our pastas (truffle ragu rigatoni and tagliatelle with mushroom) were absolutely outstanding and the tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever had! They also served bread with olive oil that went with the meal perfectly.

    Everytime I come, it’s always a 10/10 service, ambiance, and the food tastes just as good as the last time you’re there.

    Very nice staff greeted us. It was much smaller than I anticipated and we sat at a table towards the back where I was looking at a prep area and cleaning bottle. Not the most appetizing ambiance. Food was good. Waiter put bread in little bag for our table with bare hands and had just been on his cell phone. You would have hoped he would use gloves or a napkin to pick up bread. No liquor only wine. Overall okay.
