Giovanni's Italian Kitchen

Really good food. Good service andWelcoming atmosphere The salmon with lobster sauce is top notch!

My Dad wanted Spaghetti for dinner. I remembered he liked Giovanni's Spaghetti. This restaurant is conveniently located off Crowley Road. So, I headed there only to discover they were closed and open at 4 pm? I walked in and the owner quickly said, We are not open. Then the guy behind him said, come on in. Then the owner said, he will take care of you. Then, another guy said come, sit down, and he proceeded to turn the TV on. Then, he asked me if I wanted a drink. I said, 'Sure if it's on the house." Lol. He said, I'll make you some fresh Tea. I said ok. Then he asked, how the Tea was. I said, It's good!" He said , Do you need anything else? I asked for some lemons and he brought it out. I waited just a few minutes and my order was ready! The cook brought my food out with a smile. The waiter came and said, would you like a bag for that? I said, Yea, that would be helpful! Then he said, would you like some more Tea and filled my drink up!He also, wanted me to have a menu before I left but, he couldnt find one so he gave me a business card. He asked, if I wanted anything else. I explained, I was having soup and my Dad was having the Spaghetti. The waiter said, "I see."I ordered the Tortellini Soup. It was delicious. It wasy my first time ordering this kind of soup. It was not listed on the Menu. I asked for it. My Soup was loaded with oil Butter and Salt making it creamy and flavorful. My soup had lots of Pasta, Zucchini, and Squash as well. The waiter went above and beyond for me. He was so nice to me. He treated me like, I was a friend in his home. I don't think I've been to a restaurant where I was made to feel this way! Therefore, I highly recommend this restaurant not just for the service but for the great tasting food.

My wife and I were in the neighborhood and decided to give Giovanni's a try. I figured the number of cars in the parking lot were a promising indicator of the food quality. While the restaurant décor is a bit dated, the serving sizes are definitely generous and comforting. I love the feel of this family restaurant. Everyone who waited on us was so welcoming, warm, and helpful. My wife and I felt like we'd been invited to dinner with friends. The staff was so attentive to us and were pleased to learn we were first timers, despite how busy they were on the floor.My wife had the Chicken Parmigiana and the Ziti Bolognese. We ate till we were stuffed and still had plenty of delicious left overs. My wife and I look forward to eating our way through Giovanni's menu. Keep up the great work, y'all!

Glad we made reservations on a Saturday night. This place gets busy very quickly! We were greeted right away and the staff was very friendly! The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming! The staff checked on us regularly and they were very genuine! Felt like you were part of the family. This was my first time visiting a restaurant that allows you to bring your own bottle and I will say it was nice to do. We started with stuffed mushrooms and garlic bread, both tasty. They do provide complimentary bread, but you must try their garlic bread. I had the baked ziti with Italian sausage and it was delicious. The shrimp fradiablo was my favorite. The sauce was thick and creamy and the right amount of spice. We did choose a side salad with their tomato vinaigrette and it was really good. The tiramisu along with the coffee was a perfect end to our delicious meal!!!! I also loved that they did not overdo it with the chocolate sauce. I cannot wait to visit again and try another dish!

The food here is absolutely delicious. So glad we found this place. The server and the owner were very kind and accommodating. They were able to heavily customize every dish to our liking. The seafood with white clam sauce, the carbonara, stuffed mushrooms, and pink sauce chicken linguine was great, nothing was left over. The tiramisu was absolutely fantastic as well. Definitely coming back here and I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Dino took amazing care of us at our first time at Giovanni's. What the restaurant lacks in decor, it more than makes up for it in the food. We ordered the spaghetti with sausage and the chicken primavera. The marinara sauce is a classic flavor and meets all expectations. Adding cream to the Primavera was a first for us, but Dino mentioned it is more of a vodka sauce. Personally, I would have liked a standard lighter marinara with it, but the dish was still great. We also noticed they have a drive through option, which could get very dangerous for us!

I have to agree with our fellow Yelpers, Giovanni's is a great pick for a great meal! I was mostly impressed by the friendliness and the hospitality this family extends to its patrons. I was greeted with a big welcome and a big smile as I first walked in. I sat and waited for my friends to arrive and watched as they greeted all of their guests in a most personal way. I ordered the Tour of ITALY special and shared it with my friend. We enjoyed every bit of it, but I mostly loved the fettuccine Alfredo. His sauce is to die for!The bread was rich and the pasta cooked perfectly. The service was good, and the Tiramisu was made to perfection! Also, they allow BYOB, which saved us a lot of $ for sure!

This was the worst experience I have ever had at an italian restaurant. There food is extremely over priced and the taste was terrible. I never leave comments like this. But anyone that is looking for good italian food, don't ever try this place. I can not express that enough to never go here.

Well priced good food, amazing welcoming staff. Service was prompt and friendly. The kind of down to earth Italian atmosphere that puts you at ease.

I went for a dinner date on a random Sunday and I was very surprised to find this restaurant so empty. The food was amazing and our waiter was very friendly and funny. He even gave us bread when we didn't order it! This is definitely a hidden gem
