Giovannis Ristorante

Fancy. Fun. Classic. Staple. The meals are great and wonderful for a special occasion or businness dinner. It in the bottom of an office building and does have outdoor seating in the summer. They have excellent friendly service, a great wine selection and delicious desserts. Parking is close and easy. This is not dog friendly place and I would suggest dressing on the nicer side.

Giovanni's is a fantastic Italian restaurant in Beachwood. It's great for a special occasion or celebration. The servers are prompt and knowledgeable. Recommendations are required or you can sit in the lounge which is a different feel and menu. The seafood linguine was delicious! It's a huge portion, I took over half home for the next day. It tasted great the following day too. My fiancé got the veal Parmesan which was another gigantic portion. They have a great wine selection. We will be back!

I picked out Giovanni's for my birthday because as a Leo I like my vibes luxurious and classy. I discovered this bar tucked away in an unassuming office building several months ago, and wanted to revisit!I can't really tell if the restaurant is big or small, but it was without a doubt a full house this evening, a Thursday! We had reservations.Service was outstanding and personal yet professional and I thoroughly enjoyed a glass of bubbly! The beet salad was outstanding!! I got the Cappellini without anchovy oil for my entree and that was also flavorful. I appreciate the ice cream for dessert from The House and the other guests started singing to me! Happiest and kindest customers I've been around in awhile. The table next to us gifted a bananas foster and what a treat that was!!! They make for you in the dining room! Can't wait for next time, thank you for having us!

I came across Ristorante Giovanni's while staying at a hotel nearby and picked the restaurant based on the great Yelp reviews and pictures. Upon arrival I was promptly seated at their outdoor patio and was served complimentary bread and water. I chose the Veal Scallopini with crisp potato cake, fresh spinach and mushroom marsala sauce from the lunch menu. This dish arrived quickly and was very nicely presented.It also smelled so good, mouthwatering good!The veal was thinly sliced and nicely seasoned. The marsala mushroom wine sauce with garlic was one of the best I have ever tasted, and the breaded mashed potatoes were out of this world. I also enjoyed the freshly prepared spinach which went very well with the rest of the dish. Five stars for reasonably priced and exceptionally tasty food, friendly service and great atmosphere!!I'll be back. Enjoy and Bon Appétit

The quality of food and service is excellent. Lovely atmosphere. It would be a shame to pass this by.

Family vacation 2021...bringing the California variant of COVID-19 to your city.Giovanni's is located in the corner of what looks like an office building in Beachwood. I had passed by it several times driving around before we checked the Yelp reviews and decided to order food from them. I called in my order. The food was waiting for me as I arrived. We ordered a linguine with clams and mussels, and a cavatelli with bolognese sauce. Bread was included in the meal. The food was all packed in an aluminum container and placed in a paper bag. Unfortunately, the linguine sauce leaked and not only soaked the paper bag, but, the bag disintegrated as I was carrying the pasta back to the hotel causing all my food to fall on the floor. Luckily, the food did not flip over and was wrapped securely as it fell, with everything staying inside the aluminum container. Fortunately, there was enough sauce still left in both pastas. Both pastas, were excellent! They were tasty and the portion was generous. Other than the paper bag disintegrating, the food and service here were excellent. I would definitely come here again if I was in the area.

We came a year later, order similar dishes, and nothing has changed, and that's good. The food and service are still outstanding. Prices are a little higher as everywhere. Servings were large so again we took food home. The patio is beautiful. The owner stopped by our table and asked how things were. Well, everything was great. We dressed business casual, and on a Thursday some people were dressed very nicely. Reservations are recommended.

The restaurant came highly recommended so I drove the 50 miles Tuesday evening to dine with friends.All the dishes I saw had a very elegant presentation. However. When the server asked me how my $55.00 piece of horseradish crusted halibut was I replied that "It was overcooked." There was no followup by server or restaurant. So why did he ask? My crème brûlée dessert was not made to the standard taught to me in France. The sugar must cover the entire top of the custard so that when it is torched the crackly caramelized sugar shell goes from edge to edge. This crème brûlée would have been rejected in my class. Why was it acceptable at Giovanni's?

Excellent service and extremely good food restaurant extremely well kept and looks top shelf

We were visiting the Cleveland area and discovered Giovanni's We liked it so much we ate two meals there.The dining room is elegant and attractive and the service is superb. Our first dinner began with excellent cocktails, followed by lobster bisque and a salad- both great. Halibut and Veal Scallopini were our entrees- good. Second dinner began with great cocktails and then my wife had lamb soup that she loved. I selected what seemed like a strange dish, "ham and eggs". It was deviled eggs and prosciutto with homemade potato chips. Sound weird, but it was delicious. Who knew deviled eggs could taste so good?We both ate the halibut with sweet corn, carrot, radish, potato and spinach. The only reason we rated a 4 rather than a five is that we dislike eating out of bowls. Good for dogs, but regardless how good the food is, we feel it should be served on a plate. Serving sizes are also a little larger than they need to be. People do not require that much food for dinner.
