" I’m very particular about Italian food and Giovanni's left me feeling a bit underwhelmed during my visit last week. The interior could use a little updating; it doesn’t quite capture the charm of a traditional Italian restaurant. I ordered the spaghetti with meatballs, which simply lacked flavor. The meatballs were okay but not homemade, which was disappointing. The server was friendly, and the service was quick. I might return for the pizza, which I heard was their specialty, but overall, I was hoping for much better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Giovanni's for the first time and it felt like a classic Italian restaurant! The menu features a variety of dishes, and we opted for the seafood pasta and a margarita pizza. Both dishes were flavorful and generously portioned. Service was thoughtful, and we were never left wanting for anything. I look forward to coming back to try other items on the menu! Overall, a very enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience at Giovanni’s last week after a long week of work. The vibe was very relaxed, and I was able to unwind with some delightful pasta. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which was quite filling. The only downside was the wait for a portion of the food; it seemed a tad longer than usual. But the quality made it worthwhile. Overall, a nice place to dine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Giovanni's with some friends for a night out, and we had a blast! The atmosphere was lively, and we loved the hearty portions. I got the chicken alfredo, and although it wasn't the best I've ever had, the portion size made up for it. Everyone at the table was happy with their choices, especially the garlic bread—it’s complimentary and unlimited! Our server was pleasant and kept our drinks full. We laughed and shared stories over a long dinner, which made for an enjoyable evening. I’d come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Giovanni's recently and I must say, the experience was delightful! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a family gathering or a cozy dinner. I ordered the chicken marsala, and it was cooked to perfection with a rich, flavorful sauce that truly showcased Italian cuisine. My husband tried the lasagna, which he said was one of the best he's ever had! Our server was attentive without being intrusive. We finished off our meal with cannoli, which were divine! We can’t wait to go back. Definitely a place to recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Giovanni's was an unexpected pleasure! We were welcomed warmly and given a great table. I had the seafood pasta, which was absolutely delightful, paired perfectly with their garlic bread. The rest of the family enjoyed their meals as well, with no complaints. The waiters were all very attentive and made us feel special. I cannot wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm always on the lookout for authentic Italian food, and Giovanni's had some hits and misses. The ambiance was nice, but a bit too casual for my taste. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo—honestly, it was way too creamy and lacked the depth of flavor I expect from Italian cooking. However, the service was quick and friendly. My kids enjoyed their meals, particularly the pepperoni rolls, which they polished off quickly. I might try this place again, but I'll steer clear of the pasta next time. " (*Curated Review*)
