" I think I found my go-to Italian restaurant! Giovanni's had a wonderful selection of dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. Their lasagna was cheesy and flavorful, while the mushroom risotto was creamy and rich. Despite being busy, the staff was on top of their game, ensuring our drinks were always filled. The ambiance leans towards cozy and casual, perfect for family dinners. I recommend giving it a shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Giovanni's. The pasta was fantastic; it had a homemade taste that reminded me of family dinners in Italy. However, the service felt a bit rushed, and I had to wait longer than expected for my drink. The ambiance is cozy, but the noise level was higher than I would have liked during dinner time. Overall, I would return, but I'd hope to see an improvement in service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ah, Giovanni's! What can I say? I've been coming here for years, and it has yet to disappoint me. Their stuffed pizza is what dreams are made of—oozing with cheese and topped with the freshest ingredients. You can tell the staff really cares about your experience. They remember my usual order and always greet me with a smile. I've celebrated countless birthdays and anniversaries here, and each time is as delightful as the last. I wholly recommend Giovanni's to anyone craving genuine Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a lovely time at Giovanni's! The pizza was delicious, and we all enjoyed the fresh ingredients used. The server was friendly, although a bit busy as it got quite crowded. We couldn't resist trying the tiramisu for dessert – it was divine! Overall, a wonderful experience, and we’ll certainly be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a huge fan of Italian food, and I was excited to try Giovanni's after hearing so much about it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The service was poor; our waiter seemed overwhelmed despite the restaurant being half-empty. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and while it was edible, it lacked the robust flavor I was hoping for. I might give them another chance, but my first impression wasn’t great.

" I had dinner at Giovanni's last weekend, and it was exceptional! The fettuccine Alfredo was rich and creamy, with the right amount of garlic. The service was friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. My only complaint was that the garlic bread could have used more butter. The vibe of the restaurant made us feel right at home. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at Giovanni's today, and I was very pleased. The garlic Parmesan wings were fantastic! Then, I had the penne arrabbiata, which was spicy and tasted great. The only criticism I have is they were out of the dessert I wanted, which was disappointing. But overall, pleasant dining experience and I appreciate the service. " (*Curated Review*)
