Out celebrating my birthday ( on 4.5) is always a special occasion, and my fiancé, who has a deep appreciation for Italian cuisine, decided to make a dinner reservation at Gianfranco's based on its glowing reviews. Raised in an Italian home and working in the industry, my fiancé and I both enjoy dining out. As someone who tends to avoid too much gluten, I usually opt for a filet when it's available on the menu. We typically start our meals with an appetizer, but the bread served at Gianfranco's was less than enticing. It tasted like it was purchased from a grocery store, perhaps Safeway, and was enough to deter us from ordering anything extra. When our meals arrived, we were taken aback. If what was served was a filet, then I have never truly experienced one before. The dish resembled a McRib more than a filet, prompting us to question its authenticity. One of the staff members dismissively remarked that "he doesn't know what a filet is." Before we knew it, another staff member, a taller woman, approached us with raised voice, declaring that we clearly weren't satisfied and that they would take the meal away. We didn't even complain about my fiancé's meal. In an effort to make amends, the restaurant offered us a replacement meal, which we accepted. However, after taking a couple of bites, I couldn't shake the feeling of being observed; I noticed a man peering at me from the kitchen. When offered boxes to take the replacement meal home, we politely agreed, though I felt uneasy when the meal was taken back to the kitchen to be packed. As we left the restaurant, I noticed an "Ok" rating from the Health Department displayed on the door, which further fueled my discomfort. We decided to dispose of the replacements meals in a nearby trash can, unwilling to risk consuming them. Despite the unsatisfactory experience, there was an attempt by one of the staff--the lady who didn't raise her voice--to rectify the situation by charging us for only one meal. This gesture of goodwill is the reason I'm giving Gianfranco's a rating of **2 stars**. While the dining experience was far from what we had hoped for, the effort to address our dissatisfaction did not go unnoticed.

Charmingly cranky staff, surprisingly good food given that it's in the middle of nowhere. THICC tortilla chips free with our food, as it should be. Celiac friendly-ish.
