Absolutely delicious!! Two of us came here for dinner on a Friday night, about seven pm. The restaurant was about half full, and we were seated right away. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their food. We split a full Caesar salad (pic), which was very tasty, and topped with crisp croutons and slices of Parmesan. We also split an individual size/9 inch Hawaiian pizza (pic), and it had the perfect balance of cheeses, sauce and toppings, delivered quickly and piping hot to our table. The restaurant was also an easy drive from Hotel Circle.

Hard to find a chicken parm sub around this area but saw they had one here & got it takeout. It was awesome & will be back for one in the future. Friendly service & also tasty cannolis. Would try other menu items as well seeing how good this sub was

The service was wonderful and the food was pretty good. I would definitely come back if I was in the area. The staff was very attentive and service was quick. I would definitely recommend Giovanni’s to anyone in the area.

Not good folks. The wings were dry, the sauce was watery and a huge letdown. The chicken fettuccine alfredo was also a disappointment. The pasta was al dente, very tough while the sauce was watery lacking flavor, not creamy at all. The chicken was overcooked as well. The staff seemed friendly enough but the food brings this place down so much, I can’t believe they have a 4.6 right now.

This place has incredible servers and staff. They are very prompt and always make sure the waters are filled and excess plates are cleared. Every time I eat here, the food teleports me back to Italy through my taste buds. So grateful that this place serves such high quality food there’s a cute sports bar section for drinks and watching various sports games. I highly recommend this place for great Italian food.

The atmosphere was nice and the staff was pleasant. I didn’t expect to go to an Italian restaurant and order a burger but that’s what I did. The burger was fresh and tasty but the fries needed salt. It was a nice experience.

I had the lasagna, my daughter had the spaghetti and meatballs and my wife had the chicken parmesan… Mine was good, my daughter hardly touched hers, and my wife didn’t like the parmesan at all… I tried it and didn’t like it myself. I’m used the chicken breast being flatten out , here it was left untouched and too thick… Came out soggy . Service Was good. Restaurant Was cold tho…

Pizza quality depends on the night. Sooo good the first time we went, thin and crispy with a good amount of garlic, second time the pizza was doughy and I never thought I’d say that, but actually had way too much cheese.
