" Oh, what a delightful spot! I stumbled upon Giovanni’s when visiting friends in Lampasas, and I couldn't have been happier with my meal. The fettuccine alfredo was creamy and divine, and my friend's pesto pasta was bursting with fresh basil flavor. The decor was quaint and homely, giving it a unique charm. The meals were reasonably priced for the quality we received. I’ll definitely make it a point to return on my next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" I chose Giovanni's for my birthday dinner because I've been hearing great things about their food. I ordered the seafood linguine, which was delicious but, I found, a little heavy on the cream. My husband had the ribeye and said it was perfectly cooked, which was great to hear because it wasn't a dish I ordered! The atmosphere was lively, but we did wait longer than expected for seating. Overall, I think there's potential for future visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were excited to try Giovanni's based on a friend's suggestion. Upon arrival, we were impressed with the ambiance and warm colors of the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food did not reflect the same level of quality. Our dishes were average; the pizza was fine, but not as authentic Italian as I'd hoped. The service was fine and the staff friendly, so perhaps it was just an off night. I’m willing to give it another shot sometime for their other menu options. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Giovanni's was simply underwhelming. I had been looking forward to trying it, but the food didn’t live up to the hype. The marinara sauce on my pasta was bland, lacking any of the freshness I expected from an Italian restaurant. On top of that, the portions felt small for the price, which made the experience even more disappointing. The service was fine; they were attentive and courteous. Sadly, I don’t think I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Giovanni's a few times now and honestly, varying experiences. Sometimes the food is spot on, but other times it feels as though they overlooked the details. For example, my last lasagna was undercooked, and the flavors weren't well-balanced. The service has also been hit or miss; some days the staff seems harried and less attentive. Yet, when they hit the mark, it’s an enjoyable meal. Just wishing for more consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Giovanni’s based on a friend’s recommendation and was pleasantly surprised! The pasta was fresh and flavorful, and I loved the homemade sauce. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the environment was quite pleasant. It's a bit out of my way, but I can say I’ll definitely return! A lovely find in the small town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner at Giovanni's was overall a pleasant experience. We ordered a seafood pasta dish that was flavorful and fresh, though a tad on the salty side. The portions were generous enough that we took some home. I found the ambiance quite relaxing, which would be great for a date night. Service was friendly and prompt. I’m looking forward to coming back to try their other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
