Giancarlos Italian

My boyfriend and I popped in curious to try this recently refurbed addition to Tranent . It looks the part , contemporary tiled open plan kitchen , neon signs , gold mirrors , vintage Italian pictures . Our waitress was spot on smart relaxed and friendly . We ordered a beer , and three staters to share arancini ballls , side salad , prawn cocktail , bruschetta and a reasonable priced side salad at 3.50 . The total bill including tip £37.00 .

New menu it’s terrible Pizza soggy Pasta no flavour Taste like made from a 2 year old 1 question to ask the chef How can u possibly manage to take all the flavour out a ndjua pasta and make it taste like water Went massively down hill since I heard it’s not Italian chefs any more They were trained by a company quickly to fill the spot Don’t understand how something so basic can be made with no flavour or quality Pizza soggy as Cheese to thick Toppings cheap taste Pastas Taste like dog food

Great place and beautiful surroundings. Staff very friendly and warm welcoming. Access for wheelchairs, walker etc Spacious disabled toilet easy access as well!! The meal was beautiful, taste wise and presentation. Been here before and it’s great even for a celebration meal as groups can go but booking prior would be a must as with anywhere you went. Looking forward to returning again very soon. Thank you Réservez une table maintenant

4 adults, 2 babies Only 1.5 hour time limit for the table which really wasn’t enough Food was ok but they brought the starters with the mains?? Really not sure why Service could have been much more attentive, wasn’t asked about food and had to get someone’s attention for more drinks Lovely place but seems to have gone downhill from previous visits

Wow!!! Since re-opening can not complain. Firstly amazing welcome, then the service much better and friendlier than before. Food stupendous. Understandable the wine list is changing so there should be no complaints there as diners are warned before being seated. Everything has changed for the better. Definitely we'll worth a visit.

This place hasnt been open for months for unknown reasons. Nothing posted on their social media or on the doors of the restaurant. Apparently the owner ran off and so the place just lays derelict. The food was bang average anyway so its no great loss. Many better italians that are actually open in the Lothians
