Giovanni's Ristorante

I haven't even been there yet but I can say I like it already!!The reviews are 5/5 and the menu looks inviting.I must know!I must go!!

It was my first time at Giovanni's and I really enjoyed myself. The space was great with several different seating areas. We were in a small room in the back with only four tables which was really cozy. Our server was friendly, just the right amount of attentive, and made some great recommendations around what to eat and drink.We shared the calamari to start which was a winner. You will not leave hungry since most of the dishes also come with soup or salad. I loved my salad with the addition of some blue cheese. For mains we had the veal piccata, lasagna, and linguine with pomodoro sauce and a meatball. I liked that the portions weren't so huge that it was overwhelming....it was just right to feel perfectly full and maybe save room for dessert.I'll be excited to go back again!

We tried Giovanni's tonight and it was a hidden gem. I know it's been around for a long time but it didn't disappoint. The calamari was very good and I liked the chicken limone. Great date night or special occasion restaurant.

Great ambience and even better sauce. The lasagne is the best ever. We even order pans of it for Christmas dinner at home because my family loves it so much.

Authentic, delicious and homemade Italian food that brings me back to Italy. The place is warm and cozy but with a romantic flare. Our server was wonderful, very professional. I ordered the chicken piccata which is one of my favorite dishes and Giovanni's definitely hit the mark. Moist chicken with a creamy and salty sauce.

We had a wonderful dinner here with great service!We all got lasagna and it was 17 layers of heaven! I also had the chicken brodo soup and the blood orange Cosmo and the strawberry cheesecake for dessert! Wow! What a fab dinner. Can't wait to go back!

Lasagna was incredible!!! Calamari was my other favorite. They are known for their world famous lasagna here and I see why now. Everything comes with warm garlic bread to start. Also every entree comes with a soup or salad and then a pasta if you order certain things. Classic Italian vibes here and service was very good.

Just tried this spot for a friend's birthday. Parking is pretty limited. There is valet but mostly street parking is all there is. Very dimly lit inside which adds to the ambiance but it could be a bit more lit up as it was hard to see the menu. Service was excellent! Our food was also delicious, everyone loved what they ordered. Most items are house made and it shows. The arancini balls as a starter were amazing. I also upgraded to a caprese salad which was well worth the upgrade. I also had the Scampi allaGiovanni as my entree which was tasty, but could have been a larger portion for the price. Overall everything was delicious.

Went back to have dinner with family and all I can say is don't sleep on their fish special, although on the pricier side it was fresh and incredible! Obviously, it might change since its a special but the two times (a year apart) and they were not disappointed. The service was friendly and attentive and the restaurant is dimly light which makes a nice ambiance. The veal saltimbocca was good but not great. I think if we go back I will just stick with steak or the fish special.

I fell in love with Giovanni's and I can't believe I haven't been here sooner! It's so romantic and intimate inside. You feel like you're in an episode of The Sopranos having a romantic dinner. I love the old school Italian vibe and the history of Giovanni's. Truly a family business. It's also so cool knowing who dined at Giovanni's and where they sat, there's a map online with pictures of stars including Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Jack Nicholson, Paul Giamatti, and the judges of American Idol. The food is some of the best Italian food I've ever had. So fresh, so delicious, and so flavorful! We tried the cannelloni di carne and lasagna al forno and loved them both. The sauces are so rich and authentic. Portion sizes are also generous. For dessert, we tried the cream puff and cannoli and both were amazing! Everything here is so good and I can't stop raving about it! Highly recommend, can't wait to come back!
