I have been living in this area for 12 years. I have a family of 6. Middle school kids and high school kids. It has been a couple years since we have dined at Giovanni's, but it used to be a staple for our family. However, the last few times we went there I started to slowly notice something that hit its peak tonight.I have been on Yelp for several years and this is only my second unfavorable review. I will cut to the chase:* Other than their pizza and garlic knots, the food has gone extremely downhill. It is almost amateur. I would never say that normally, but it was extremely notable tonight.* I ordered a drink when we sat down. Received it 15 minutes later. I immediately ordered a second understanding that it might take a similar amount of time. It was not even that busy. I never received the second drink. I even checked on it twice after ordering and was told that they are working on it. It was then on our bill. * We received garlic knots after we sat down. We had to ask for them twice, but they eventually came. After my family finished the 6 garlic knots (6 people in my family), I let them know we would pay for more garlic knots because my kids want more. I was told that they have a single small oven that makes the garlic knots and they don't have enough. That was kind of shocking. I did not end up getting more garlic knots for my family.* I ordered chicken piccata. They gave me veal piccata. Honestly, I just thought it was weird looking chicken. I ate a portion of it. It was bland. I will normally eat anything, but this was bland and had a slight sour taste to it. Later on the bill, I saw that they charged me for veal piccata. I realized that it was veal and not chicken and that's why it looked and tasted different. I asked if they could adjust the bill since I ordered chicken from the beginning and was unaware they gave me something different. She was reluctant, but then gave me a five dollar credit instead. I am assuming that's the difference between the two meals.* I reminded them about my second drink twice. Both times was advised they were working on it. I never received my second drink. They attempted to bill me for that second drink, and it took me two attempts to get it removed from the bill. * My daughter loves cheese calzones. It's hard to mess those up. She ordered a cheese calzone and it tasted bland. Unflavored.* My other daughter was the only one yo use the bathroom and she was disgusted by the mess and smell. Maybe expected for a fast food facility but not right for a restaurant where a meal costs $20.In summary, they are a bit stingy with their garlic knots for whatever reason and the food has gone downhill. It's very disappointing. There are not that many great restaurants around our home and this used to be one that we loved. Unfortunately I do not believe we will be going back to this restaurant ever again. I've spoken with a few others who have had similar experiences. It's truly unfortunate. Solution: Find a higher quality cook and pay them appropriately, be a bit more liberal with the garlic knots, shift one additional waiter or waitress to avoid the scenario where one waitress has five or six tables and is unable to keep up and provide quality service, clean the bathrooms. That's it. I know there might be a slightly higher cost associated with that, but the benefit should outweigh that cost and there may be longevity in the operation as a result.

One night stop in St. Augustine and our RV park recommended Giovanni's.The eggplant parm pizza was excellent, NY style my favorite. The service was also very good. I've never posted a review before but after eating there I saw some negative reviews below and was grateful that our experience was completely opposite.
