" I was really looking forward to dining here, given its reputation for authenticity and quality italian food. The restaurant is indeed charming and cozy, but I found the food to be just okay. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo which lacked seasoning and was overly creamy. The staff tried their best but seemed overwhelmed with the dinner crowd. I appreciate the quaint atmosphere, but I wasn't wowed by the flavors. Perhaps I’ll give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, we had dinner at Giovanni's Trattu, and it felt like we were transported right to Italy! The cozy ambiance combined with the attentive service set the perfect backdrop for a delightful evening. We tried their special seafood pasta, and it exceeded our expectations. Each bite was packed with flavor, and the presentation was exquisite. The tiramisu was a perfect way to end our meal; it was light yet decadent. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking authentic Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Giovanni's is outstanding! I've sampled a variety of dishes over the past few months, and the consistency in quality is remarkable. The owner personally comes to check on you, which adds a personal touch. The pasta is homemade, and you can tell the difference. The only downside was that the wait times can be a little long when they're busy but it's worth the wait for the authentic Italian food. If you're looking for a place that feels like home, Giovanni's is it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience! Giovanni's is a small and intimate place that captures the essence of Italian dining. I had the pleasure of trying their seafood pasta, and it completely blew me away. I've had many in the past, but this was truly among the best. The tiramisu is definitely the highlight of the meal. I recommend making a reservation to avoid a long wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delightful evening! The food was incredibly authentic; I’ve traveled through Italy and felt transported back. Our table enjoyed the rigatoni and linguine alle vongole, both of which were bursting with fresh flavors. The owners took time to chat with us, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The wait for our main courses was a little lengthy due to the crowd, but certainly worth it for the taste and warmth of the place! Highly recommend the tiramisu for dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem in DC! Amazing ambiance and top-notch service. I went with my partner on a Saturday night, and it was busy, yet we were well taken care of. We shared the fettuccine Alfredo, which was creamy and divine. The margherita pizza was truly authentic. The dessert options were top-notch too; we opted for the tiramisu, which was heavenly. Couldn’t be happier with our experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Giovanni's Trattu, and I will definitely come back! I tried the linguine alle vongole piccanti, and it was perfectly cooked; the flavors burst in my mouth. The atmosphere felt authentically Italian, which I loved. The staff was attentive throughout our meal, ensuring everything was satisfactory. A memorable dining experience worth remembering.
