" First time dining at Giovanni's and I was thoroughly impressed! The attention to detail in the cuisine shows they take pride in their food preparation. I had the fettuccine Alfredo, and the creaminess was just right. Really felt like I was eating a homemade meal. The service was attentive, but they seemed a little busy—might need a few more hands on deck during dinner hours! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible food quality! I had the vegetarian lasagna, and it was so hearty and satisfying. Each layer was packed with flavors and it didn’t skimp on portions. The ambiance was nostalgic, making it a great spot for family dinners. Service was decent and kept checking on us in a timely manner. We felt so welcomed. Absolutely going back next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food and service were fantastic! We ordered a mix of appetizers including garlic knots and bruschetta, and they were delightful. The main courses took a little longer than expected, but the quality made up for it. I particularly loved the veal piccata, though it could have used a bit more sauce. Overall, we had a wonderful evening and left with plans to return. Just make sure you’re not in a hurry since they focus on quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing dining experience! From start to finish, Giovanni's did not fail to impress. Their signature garlic knots are a must-have! The entrees arrived as promised but were slightly late; however, the flavors were so incredible that it was worth it. I had the baked ziti and it was wonderfully cheesy but not overpowering. I can see why they have such a strong following! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Giovanni's with friends and was really pleased! The décor was quaint, and it definitely felt like a family-run establishment. We had a little hiccup with our order but the staff was quick to fix it. The house red wine was excellent and paired nicely with my pasta that was cooked to al dente perfection. Portions were generous, and the atmosphere made it perfect for a casual dinner. " (*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*)
