" After hearing so much about Giovanni's, I decided to visit and was not disappointed! The restaurant is quite small, so I suggest arriving early or prepared to wait, but trust me, it’s worth it. The gnocchi I had was phenomenal, incredibly soft and paired beautifully with a savory sauce. The owner came by to check on us, and his passion for excellent food really shines through. The only drawback is they don’t take reservations, which can be a hassle during peak hours. Incredible dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Giovanni’s was very positive! The restaurant has a homey aspect that I love, reminiscent of my grandmother's kitchen. I tried the cannoli for dessert, and it was heavenly. The only downside was the wait, but I guess good food takes time. The portion sizes were great, fulfilling, and worth every penny. I definitely recommend, especially for anyone craving Italian in a warm setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute gem of a restaurant! Giovanni's reminds me of our time in Italy. Their crab ravioli is a must-try! The place does get packed, so be ready for a wait, which I didn’t mind as the food is exceptional. The owner is always there ensuring everything is perfect. Highly recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I highly recommend the free appetizer of bruschetta; it was fresh and packed with flavor. The lasagna was great as well but do keep in mind, the place can get quite busy. The decor is quaint, giving a cozy feel and capturing that Italian vibe perfectly. Would revisit and explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food, okay service. I wasn’t blown away, but I don’t regret my visit at all. The ambiance was very comforting, and I enjoyed the veal. I’d say it’s worth checking out, though I wouldn’t go out of my way to return unless accompanied by a friend. " (*Curated Review*)

" This little restaurant offers some great Italian dishes! My friend and I opted for the seafood risotto, and it was delightful. The prices were reasonable, but we did find the portions to be on the smaller side, hence the slight deduction in rating. Overall though, a pleasant dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time here, and what an experience! The atmosphere was so lovely, and the owner struck up a conversation with us right away, making us feel like part of the family. Our meals were fresh and bursting with flavor. We had a mix of appetizers and pasta dishes, and I have to say, the tortellini soup was a standout! Be prepared to wait, though, as seats fill quickly!
