Escape to a world of seaside
bliss, exceptional service, and...
Michael Kramer is over luxury ingredients.
“I’ve run the four- and five-star kitchens and that’s fun, but
this time I just wanted to cook the food that I want to eat,”
says Kramer.
Enter Jianna, his modern Italian restaurant that finally opens
today in Greenville, South Carolina.

It’s been a four-year-long passion project of Kramer’s and
every detail evokes his past, from an interior design
featuring blues and greens to mimic the ebb and flow of the
Italian coastline to accents woven throughout the space that
mimic Bianchi racing bikes (cycling is a longtime hobby) to
the name of the restaurant, which is a reference to his
mentor Marc Valiani’s now-closed San Francisco institution.
It’s a bit of a departure from where Kramer has been before
—McCrady’s in Charleston, the now-closed Voice in
Houston—but it’s a natural next step for the chef.
In the breezy open kitchen, Kramer has brought in a
prosciutto slicer and built out a pasta station where he and
his team can revive soulful peasant dishes, like pappardelle
made from leftover toasted flour tossed in a lamb ragu.
!ere’s a whole section of the menu dedicated to oysters.
Both fatty West Coast and briny East Coast oysters are
shucked and served with a house-made hot sauce and
Prosecco mignonette.

“Greenville really doesn't have anywhere else making fresh
pasta the same way we do or the diversity of both East and
West Coast oysters,” Kramer says. “It's going to be a
different Italian experience for many people here that
they've never experienced before.”
And it’s already catching on. !is past Saturday, even during
the soft opening, Kramer and his crew had over 300 covers
during dinner.
“It's been very rewarding to not only have friends and
colleagues reach out and tell me how excited they are, but
the entire city of Greenville is embracing the restaurant and
has given us the most incredibly warm welcome,” he says.

Hmmmm I have never put French and
comfort food in the same sentence
before! These sound good!
This makes me gag a little. This is one
thing I wont be trying soon at all!
Can't wait!! Food network is finally
bringing her back. I'm not always up at
8 or 8:30 Sunday morning. I actually
watch her on youtube or I watch
Munchies on Vice, which us fantastic
with tons of good chefs. She always
used to be on and they replaced her
with all of these other shows. I would
rather watch her anyday versus Valerie,
Sugar addiction is a real t
need to be very careful w
introduce to their kids at a
age to avoid such addictio
or that Farm house woman or Patricia
Heaton. I want to see people that
actually know how to cook.
