We had soup and salad bar, also lasagna a couple times and pizza several times. I would recommend the pizza maker guy deliver the pies to the table when ready. At least twice the pizza was cold because the waitstaff was busy chatting in the front lobby while it sat. All the food was good, but service was not attentive.

I lost my appetite when a couple showed up with their dog then proceeded to put a restaurant plate with some food on the ground for him. Won't be going back there.

The food, service and atmosphere are all great. You can't go wrong at Giovanni's.

It's not bad, it's not great. It's average. Salad bar is probably the best thing there. I've tried a few different things but always end up enjoying the salad the most. Service is usually younger people with a lazy attitude. The decor is basically collages of pictures on the wall. Again, everything is just average.

Maybe because I'm from New York and I expect the pizza to taste different, but this was definitely not a good pizza! I've had better at Hungry Howie's!

Food was very tasty. Portions were plentiful. Salad bar was good size. Service was excellent. We had Calzone and mushroom ravioli. Both were excellent.
Service at the front desk took a phone call and made us wait when we had stood for at least 5 minutes waiting to be seated at the front entrance andasked us to continue waiting. When I stated that we were there waiting before the phone rang we wanted to be seated. She said, I quote " I will be with you in a couple of minutes." After finally being seated on the patip after requesting the table be wiped from 3 separate waiters Our patio table never was cleaned off and never wiped! Needless to say I will never be back or recommend your establishment,

Giovanni's Italian restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The food was simply outstanding - every dish burst with authentic Italian flavors and was prepared with great care. The service was impeccable, attentive but not overbearing. I highly recommend trying their signature pasta dishes and don't miss out on their delicious tiramisu for dessert! Giovanni's has definitely become our go-to spot for a fantastic Italian dining experience. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

We stopped on our way home and wanted something new. Tried the minestrone soup it was superb , the Alfredo was also good. Let .e tell you when you say yes to garlic bread be prepared to bring some home and ask for extra Alfredo because they are not stinchy on the bread .

Arrived around 3:30 a there was only about 8 customers all table were dirty a lot with dirty dishes. It took forever to get menus and drinks it was cold in the restaurant so we moved outside to another dirty table. Our garlic cheese bread arrived stacked stuck together in a basket . The waitress said she would be back with plates and clean the table the bread was getting cold so we had to start without plates when she finally came back while wiping the table she fling a elbow noddle form the dirty table in the basket holding our cheese bread laughed and pulled it out. It took forever to get our calzone looked big but it was all air in Side. weordered a ham and cheese and added sausage it came with ou the ham. I asked for red pepper flakes we were almost done eating before she came back . When we boxed the leftovers she asked if we wanted a bag she never came bag we had to go ask for a bag. I have never spend so much time waiting in my life. if you have unlimited time and want mediocre food eat here.
