"Absolutely wonderful singer. My boyfriend and I went to Vegas to enjoy our little weekend, and we had a really great time at a Italian Restaurant; good environment, wonderful food, and of course, with EXCELLENT music. We actually met Gino Federici at the restaurant. It is such an honor to meet a really talented muscian and watching him singing in front of us. So Romantic and So Wonderful!! If you had a chance to Vegas, go meet Mr. Federici at Harrah's. You will not regreat it. We absolutely love it!!"

"Great. I'm going to Italy soon and I bought it to get in the mood for Italia.....and it does. I also bought Italy Swings and I like it too."

"What more can I say about Gino Federici that hasn't already been said. This CD is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing that I have in my collection. The selections and arrangements are among the best and I enjoy it repeatedly."

"Really enjoyed Serenata--bought it for my mother/sister, too. I was in Las Vegas last year and heard great things about Gino Federici...unfortunately, the only day I was there was his night off! I was so disappointed that my sister bought me his CD to compensate for the lack of the live performance. The CD is terrific!! It's so terrific that I had to order two more copies--one for my sister and one for my mother. I especially love his version of 'Caruso' which on the CD is also called Sorrento in the Moonlight. My mother, a big Placido Domingo fan, says Gino's version is even better than Placido's!!! That's some compliment from my mother. Now I hope to hear Gino in person on my next trip to LV."

"Italian music sung by Gino is just beautiful. The song Caruso just fills my heart. I play this CD over and over again his voice is like no other especially when he sings in Italian."

"Fabulous CD. Soothing and relaxing. Beautiful voice. This is a fabulous CD. The music is soothing and relaxing and Gino Federici's voice is beautiful."
Pat Joy, cdbaby.com reviewer
"Loved it! Love this CD! Gino's redition of O Sole Mio is beautiful and his voice is deep and full!"

"Over and Over and Over . . . Repeatedly listening to Serenata develops in the listener a greater and greater appreciation for its symbiosis of vocal and musical genius. There is a wonderful flow in the song selections, and such a marvelous chemistry created between the voice and the melodies and their orchestrations. Serenata is one of those CDs you can reach for over and over and over, never tiring of the lyrical respite it provides."
Sherry Rothe , cdbaby.com reviewer
"Mr. Federici will fill the void of not only Sinatra into the 21st Century. He should become synonymous with the fans of all the greats like that of Mr. Sinatra because of his magic, charisma and the natural flair that pulls fans to him like Elvis had. A voice like this just will not go by the way... without being noticed!"

"Just a short e-mail to let you know that we really enjoyed dinner at Harrah's and your music last weekend (Memorial Day weekend). We were the threesome with the elderly gentleman in a wheelchair (my Dad), who made several requests for Italian songs (you knew them all). My Dad, who plays some of the songs that you sang on the accordion, thoroughly enjoyed the CD that you autographed for him. A friend of his also enjoyed the CD, so I will be ordering another one from your website (maybe more - he belongs to an accordion club).
"Could you please let us know when your second CD will be available, if possible, and when your tour will reach the San Francisco Bay Area? (I believe that you said next summer). Any idea where you will be performing in the Bay Area?"
"Thanks again for the very enjoyable evening."

"Gino, everyone that has heard your CD loves it. My daughter Julie fell in love with it and she has the one you signed for me at Harrah's so if I wanted it back I have to replace it. My friends at Marino's Italian Restaurant want it to play for their customers, and my lady Carolyn loves it almost as much as me. You have made me a hero. Thanks."
