" This place is a gem! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming vibe was palpable. For our meal, I opted for the fettuccine Alfredo, and it was the best I've ever had! Very creamy and not too heavy, just perfect. My partner got the shrimp scampi, which was equally tasty. We couldn’t resist the cannoli for dessert, which was also fantastic. The wait was longer but well worth it. We can’t wait to come back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was our first dinner at Giovanni's and we were impressed! The food was incredibly fresh, and it had that authentic Italian flavor that reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. I ordered the chicken parm, which was delicious but a tad dry. Still, the garlic knots were to die for! A cozy ambiance, perfect for family gatherings. Just be prepared for a wait during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" My girlfriend and I absolutely loved our meal at Giovanni's! The ambiance was inviting, and we were greeted warmly by the owner right upon arrival. I had the chicken fettuccine which was creamy and delicious. A bit pricey, but it felt worth it due to the quality of ingredients. Service was attentive but could speed up during busy times. We’ll be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, vibrant atmosphere, and courteous staff. My friends and I really enjoyed our time at Giovanni's! The tortellini was silky smooth and had just the right balance of flavors. We also enjoyed the house-made salad dressing. The wait for food was a bit long but nothing too unusual for a popular eatery. We will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Giovanni's is cozy and warm. I ordered a seafood fettuccine, which I thought was just okay—definitely decent but not the best I've had. The stars of the show were the appetizers, especially the garlic knots! They were terrific! The service was lovely; everyone was friendly and attentive. We will certainly try it again, hoping for something to really impress me next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Giovanni's multiple times now, and it never fails to impress! If you love garlic, this is your place. Everything I've tried has that extra flavor hit; the chicken marsala was divine, and the alfredo pasta, oh boy! Just be patient as it can take time to get your food. Each plate feels like it was crafted just for you! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was our first visit, and we were so pleased! The server was friendly, and the staff buzzing about the restaurant added to the lively atmosphere. I really enjoyed the shrimp scampi; it had a beautiful flavor, however, the portion size felt a bit small. The desserts—especially the tiramisu—were out of this world! I think we’ll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)
