" Once again, I was blown away by Giovanni's! We hosted a family gathering and booked a large table. The staff was accommodating and friendly, and the food arrived promptly. I had the chicken fettuccine alfredo, which was rich and creamy, definitely one of the best I've had. The kids loved the pizza, saying it was their favorite. Everyone left full, and we had some leftovers that made for a great lunch the next day. Highly recommend for groups! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I went to Giovanni's for a casual dinner last weekend. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud, making it a pleasant dining experience. I tried the marinara pasta and liked it, but it was just a tad too sweet for my taste. One of my friends ordered the lasagna and said it was delicious and filling. Service was friendly, albeit a little slow since the restaurant was packed. Overall, I would recommend it for a night out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Giovanni's during the week and it was quite busy. The ambiance was cozy, reminiscent of a classic Italian eatery. The bread served with olive oil was delightful. However, I found the spaghetti I ordered to be a bit bland and under-seasoned. My husband had the fettuccine alfredo, which he enjoyed but noted it could use more garlic. Overall, it was a decent experience, but we hope the food can become more consistently flavorful. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night was lovely at Giovanni's! We had to wait for a table, but the atmosphere was buzzing which we don't mind. I ordered the shrimp linguine, and while the shrimp was perfectly cooked, I wish the dish had a bit more flavor. The service was good, and we loved the idea of bringing our own wine. It was a pleasant dinner overall; we'll definitely visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service at Giovanni's was simply fabulous. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, and our food came out in a timely manner. I ordered mushroom risotto and it was creamy and rich, truly a delight. For dessert, we had cannoli, which were light and satisfying. I appreciate the attention to detail in both service and food quality. Will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a place! Giovanni's has become our go-to restaurant when we want to enjoy a nice meal. The house special was outstanding—chicken Parmesan that was perfectly crispy and topped with fresh tomato sauce. The desserts are homemade, and the tiramisu is a must-try! We always leave satisfied and excited for our next visit. A true gem in Palestine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Giovanni's was a mix of highs and lows. The location is charming, and the ambiance is very warm, making it a great place for dinner. While the food was plentiful, my veal marsala lacked the depth of flavor that I expected. But my partner loved the lasagna. The service was cordial but not overly attentive. I’d be open to trying another dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)
