Versace Mansion Restaurant | Gianni's at the Villa | Miami Beach

We decided to visit the former Versace Mansion on Miami Beach (Ocean Drive) and grab some lunch at the restaurant inside called "Gianni's at the Villa". They have a great and affordable deal for lunch that is $29 for a three-course meal, including appetizer, entree, and dessert.
For the appetizer we had the "flash fried shrimp" and the "burrata" from the lunch menu and both we excellent. For our entrees we chose the "Chicken Scallopini" and the "Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli" and they were both great delicious choices! For dessert we tried the mango sorbet and the chef's special which was a brownie. Overall, from the food to the service to the atmosphere was an incredible experience and definitely worth checking out if you are in the Miami Beach area!
"The Villa was originally built in 1930 by the architect, author, and philanthropist, Alden Freeman. Mr. Freeman was the heir to the Standard Oil fortune.
In 1992, The Villa was purchased by the famous Italian fashion designer, Gianni Versace. Today the Villa operates as a luxury boutique hotel, restaurant and event venue.
Gianni’s offers a delicious blend of Italian Mediterranean food and wine selections,
served in a one-of-a kind historic setting.
The stunning atmosphere of Gianni’s as night in the former Versace Mansion rivals the best locales in the world to dine. In the history-steeped dining room, or under the stars poolside, Gianni’s offers a wonderful, unique luxurious experience.

Very good review. Thanks

[@marciawilliams167]

Thank you so much for this transparent video! I found it very informative and detailed. Definitely putting this on my bday itinerary!

[@itsastakesything]

Great video, thanks for sharing it with us, looked like a great deal & nice food too, Hope your both keeping well & having a fun weekend 👍🤩🥰xx

[@WonderfulWorldofWalter]

Wow! This place is absolutely stunning!! The pricing really is pretty reasonable for a 3-course meal! And everything looked yummy! Really interesting to see, and lunch seemed like a beautiful time to visit to be able to see everything during the day. Maybe one day they will comp you guys a night!! I bet it’s a beautiful spot to stay, but sounds expensive!! Thanks for sharing this beautiful spot!

[@aprilsuter874]

I’ve had the privilege of staying at the Versace mansion twice and it is breathtaking. The rooms are absolutely beautiful, so regal and elegant. I stayed in the Villa suite which was Gianna’s actual bedroom and the Medallion Suite which was designed for Gianna’s good friend Elton John. Also you are correct about the pool, it is only open to the guests staying there.

[@HandsFullHeartFull]

Wow you guys are fancy 😀. Miami is so beautiful 🦩 🌴. Enjoyed the vlog!

[@gizzykatkat9687]

Beautiful! Gianni is still there, his outlook on fabulousness! It was before what it is again now and anyone who goes there should be appreciative of it. But if not that is okay too because we can all see what we want to see or cannot see or don't want to see.

[@Hkay1636]

Wow great detailed review!!👍👍

[@user-lh1vq5ie8h]

thank you, I am not able to go in...glad to see inside.

[@spidervenom3379]

Great information, thank you

[@JenandJoeontheGo]

Wow! This is amazing! I think the lunch menu prices were ok, not bad. The drinks were SUPER expensive!!! Jen xo

[@JenandJoeontheGo]

@@THEFLEPT The lunch prices were totally reasonable. The drink prices, not so much, lol!!! Jen xo

[@jasongeorge1186]

good content ..thanks

[@HughesAndBrews]

Amazing architecture and decor in the restaurant. Sounds like lunch is the way to go when eating there. Glad it turned out to be enjoyable for you two. The rates for this weekend are $1000 per night there. Hope you do get the whole bottle of oil if you stay there. 😆Cheers! ~ Kevin

[@valyu6032]

Thanks for sharing

[@NotBadParents]

Take the oil!!! Shrimp looks good. Wait, is that a giant piece of mozzarella??? Borata? That’s fun to say... bo-ra-ta! Small desserts. What is that? A dessert for ants??? It would take three of those desserts to equal a real dessert. The music is super relaxing. Ohhh!!! Burrata! Still fun to say... possibly more fun! Versace was the video game guys right? Love tiramisu! Do you guys have a discount code I can use if I go? That place is pricey! I wanna stay in the mansion! Super fun dudes!!!

[@TheDisneyRomantics]

This place looks so gorgeous! 29.00 is a great price for a lunch prixe fix menu at a mansion! All the food looks good too! Haha, I thought it must be mango 😂! Love the music you chose! It would definitely be a nice staycation to stay in one of those rooms! When you talk about the pool- is that the pool that your table was overlooking? Were people swimming there while you ate?

[@Tcamp95818]

I had lunch here to beautifully amazing place.

[@2b_unique_d]

I’m taking a girls trip to Miami in March and we considered adding this to the roster.

[@2b_unique_d]

I just texted my friend and told her to add it to the itinerary lol. I’ve gotta get the other girls on board but hopefully it’s a go! They like to take pictures so maybe I’ll persuade them that way lol.

[@KPJPflorida]

Looks awesome guys, loved this , Miami looks lovely with the architecture, have you both always lived here? Wow this place is fancy and beautiful 🤩 $29 is good price, so pretty there

[@KPJPflorida]

@@THEFLEPT aaaw xxx 😘 who knows what the future holds x thx for sharing

[@mtharris357]

How long would you say lunch takes? Hoping to squeeze it in before a cruise end of this month!

[@peecee2832]

Thank u

[@MajjasDiary]

Hey 🤗 Loved the video, I came here because I reserved a table for lunch at the mansion, was just wondering what time they consider lunch, my reservation is for 12:30. Am I good?

[@sharahernandez1]

Lunch starts at $39 now.

[@rosieranz1282]

Did you have to make reservations before going to eat/getting a tour?

[@2b_unique_d]

The pricing is much better than I expected.

[@serenaliam2733]

Thank you for the informative video, can you say which parking lot you used please.

[@THEFLEPT]

Hi there! We parked at a parking garage right around the corner but we wouldn't be able to say the exact name but somewhere by 8th street and Ocean CT (close to ocean drive) but when it comes to Miami Beach in general..parking can be annoying and you either have to uber from your hotel where you are staying or drive around for a while looking for parking :/

[@ZoellesWorld]

I'm surprised the sorbet was so plain. Fancy restaurants usually will add a sprig of mint leaf or something for aesthetics.

[@drawnhere]

Same here. That sorbet dessert was definitely lacking in presentation. Maybe they save the garnishes for dinner? LoL

[@CarmenSD]

Great video! Did the restaurant staff have problems or gripes with you all filming and esp at the fountain area? I read a review a couple years ago that said they didn’t like it.

[@CarmenSD]

@@THEFLEPT ok great! Thanks!

[@annejillianmonsanto8565]

Do you know if you can request (in advance) a table by the pool on the bottom floor? :)

[@kaylao.3326]

Can you tour the mansion if you’re only there to eat or do you literally have to rent a room there?

[@alexandrag679]

Thanks for the info, curious to know, is there a dress code for the restaurant?? planning to go in May for lunch as well, and how much can you tour around when you are only at the restaurant? Thanks!

[@volcomoverall]

This was my question too!! I’m going next weekend and was not in the mood to wear a dress shoe in the middle of the day with Miami heat! Thank you 🙏

[@alexa6839]

@@volcomoverall So we went there already at lunch time (yes dinner seems more formal), we called before just in case and they told us casual elegant but no sneakers or swimwear or flip-flops... I wore some nice high heel sandals and it was actually way better than many people there. There were people in tshirts, shorts, flip flops and also pretty elegant people.... so... 🤷🏻‍♀️... food, I was very disappointed (fixed menu of course) but enjoyed the place (the pool! We were sitting right in front of it) and basically we end up paying $100 and change because a 20%tip is included. So I feel like we paid a $50 ticket to see the mansion. Oh well! An experience.. but never going back.!

[@volcomoverall]

@@alexa6839 that’s so good to know i was hesitant as is cause of the reviews on the food! If I’m paying this much the food better be worth it! Shut i dunno that i wanna go now 😩 thank you so much for answering!!

[@paulbullock867]

It seems as though you guys did not enjoy your experience there. 😢😮

[@drawnhere]

Can men wear dress shorts or is it only pants?

[@bigpagla]

What is the dress code?

[@bigpagla]

Ok just checking. Fyi we looked fly anyway. It was a cool experience. They were very nice. They even gave us extra dessert but I think it was because our waiter liked my wife🤣🤣

[@Dancemom-hw2jt]

I have lived in Miami almost my entire life. The Versace mansion is gorgeous but be careful on Ocean Drive! It’s become super dangerous and ghetto. Especially at night and on Memorial weekend.

[@spidervenom3379]

Explain dangerous lol

[@barriobikinishop8006]

Belongs to Nakash not versace
