My family and I found Giovanni's on yelp it had great reviews and the pictures looked outstanding. It did not disappoint, it was great food, great service, and Mark the son of the owner even made sure to say goodbye and thanks for coming in. We liked it so much we brought people back for dinner but they had a big party and couldn't seat us. So they reached out to their other location and got us a table for 12. We had a great dinner with outstanding service at the other location as well. I had the hot chicken salad and the chop salad I would recommend both!!!

I flew in today from out of state, everything went great until the 2.5 hr wait to get my rental car. I was tired and hangry and lucky for me the food Gods smiled upon me and I found Giovanni's. First their dressing is homemade and to die for. I even bought some. Second the seafood dish I had was large enough to feed 2 people!! It was incredible, one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Everyone was super friendly, especially Jonathan. Great server. This place is amazing!!

The food is fantastic here, had it 3 times during my business trip in Orlando. The side salad does need a bit of help, it's all lettuce no veggies. However the pizza and pastas are a good portion. They even delivered to the hotel next door, definitely recommend this place.

Great good and priced right! If you're lucky bartender Durrell and Manager Nick will be working during your visit. The food was great I had chicken wings and a calzone plus a salad. I've eaten here many times and the food is always great!

Considering how hard covid hit the restaurant industry, one would think that management would have sense enough to enforce mask use. The customer has no choice, he or she is eating. The customer depends on the integrity of servers, cooks and hostesses to protect the customer. We took a chance on Giovannis only to find few masks worn properly. Most employees wore none. Food was good but not worth the risk. We won't be back nor will we refer anyone.

If you are from NYC or greater NJ area you will not like this food. I had high expectations as it looked new and someone put some money in this place. The two pasta dishes we tried both of their sauces were out of a can. The mozzarella on my chicken dish was block cheese, were a good Italian restaurant on such a dish would use fresh. The prushittio on the same dish was thicker sliced then sandwiche meats at the grocery deli counter. Prushittio should be sliced paper thin. Sometimes less is more. This place has many 5 star reviews, but I can't imagine why. I eat at Olive Garden once ever 5 years or so, because I walk away so dissatisfied. This food was worse. Seriously if you are from NYC North East New Jersey don't go.

Skip this meal and save yourself some money and time. One sauce was truly disgusting. Metal aftertaste like the can sauce was stored in the can in the refrigerator. That was spaghetti and meatballs. The other was like spaghetto sauce from being a kid. Both meals not edible. We had full meals to box up. She didn't ask how the food was just kept blaming the bartender. Waitress was super nice but not attentive. Don't confuse this with ever wanting it again. Salad w house dressing was ok. Bread was ok but not good. This is at best a cheap Cisco food no character not home made bland. basic restaurant. I would enjoy fast food like Fazollois or Eating at a theme park Italian more. And I would not choose either of those. In fact I actually liked Pizza Rizzo more and won't eat there again. Save yourself over $70 for 2 adult meals 3 alcohol drinks and a tip. Just skip it. Someone sure tired but this is not ok. I have to go brush the disgusting metallic taste out of my mouth and I feel sick. Being completely honest. Sorry. But I have to be fair and I hope they get it together. Someone made a nice place but it need to be rescued.

Good & it was delicious and the waitress was nice and friendly.
This is my favorite restaurant, I am never disappointed. The staff is very attentive and kind, especially the owners. Although this is an Italian restaurant, I requested a Turkish coffee and they made me one. I am very impressed. I recommend the chopped salad with house dressing, 10/10!

I have been here several times and each time the service was great, the food tasted great and the atmosphere was comforting. Located by Lake Nona Road and Boggy Creek Road, this location has plenty of seating and full service bar with stools. In the past, I had pizza, which was delicious, and this last dining trip I had a Chicken Parmigiana dinner. Salads, bread and Chianti were making their appearances also. I believe this is one of several Giovanni's in the area (Family owned) but feel this is the newer and better location, just my opinion. Food is reasonably priced but good sized servings. Buon Appetit!
