" Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Giovanni last weekend. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great choice for a family gathering. We ordered several dishes to share, including the famous baked clams and veal parmigiana. Both were served in generous portions and tasted authentic, bringing back wonderful memories of dinners with my Italian grandparents. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, always checking if we needed anything. I can’t wait to return and try more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Giovanni’s is definitely one of my favorite places to try Brooklyn! The seafood options are truly fantastic, and they clearly know how to prepare them well. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp oreganata which was beautifully prepared and just perfect with the bread they served.

" I really enjoyed my visit to Giovanni! We ordered a few different dishes to share. The stuffed artichokes were to die for! Each dish had generous portions, and the service was friendly. The only complaint I had was the wait, which was longer than expected, but the food made it worth it. I’ve already recommended it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)
