Lunch for $29?! Gianni's at Versace Mansion
Mediterranean
Have you seen scroll-stopping pictures of the gorgeous former Versace Mansion in Miami? The iconic mansion where Gianni himself lived has now turned into a museum for tourists and visitors. Giving all around luxe vibes, many people dream of witnessing the colorful Versace tiled pool and mosaic designs in person.
What if I told you that can have the dining experience for only $29?
Price
I’m not lying when I tell you that you do not have to spend almost a grand on booking a room for one night, or even a significant amount of food for dinner. You can have an exuberant experience on a minuscule budget. I’ve heard horror stories of their dinner being very pricey and the food not being up to par. I was excited that they had a 3-course pre-fixed lunch menu for only $29. The portions were just the right amount and I was 100% satisfied! Everything was delicious and for the price and the location, it was definitely a win!
Tip: Make a reservation for the last lunch slot to get a beautiful view with the sun up and when the sun goes down.
food
Located right on Ocean Drive, the style of food at Gianni’s is Mediterranean. I came with my friend and we tasted off each other’s plate. we ordered the caesar salad and flash-fried shrimp for appetizers. Their grilled branzino and spinach & ricotta ravioli for our entree. Finally, for dessert, we asked for their Daily Chef Specials and got some chocolate mousse cake and a berry cake. I’m not a big drinker, so I can’t tell you about that. I’d much rather spend drink prices on actual eats.
Ambiance
I must say this place gives off a very specific upscale vibe. There isn’t any music to bop to, or endless booze. It is more sophisticated and posh. A wonderful place for you and your friends to feel bougie on a $29 budget lol.
service
The service was outstanding! I also heard many complaints about bad service and I am happy that I didn’t have to experience that travesty. My server was extremely attentive and even sung “Happy Birthday” to me because I came during my birthday weekend. She also offered and took many pictures of me. She went above and beyond to make me feel special while. I am a sucker for good service.
My experience was great and would definitely visit again and recommend this Gianni’s for lunch. Make sure you make a reservation for this tourist destination. Would you give this place a try?
