My father and I were on a dog rescue search and the owner came out to greet us using his parking lot. Very nice gentleman generously made us a Margarita pie to split and it was exceptional.

The prices went up but the food is superb. Good thing they open late taking into consideration the area, which is very residential.

The food is very good and the portions are large. Some couples share their entree. You will bring home part of your entree if you are not sharing. The atmosphere is wonderful. It is not loud and the restaurant is large enough that in off peak hours you are not seated too close to anyone. The wait staff is nice and attentive and doesn't rush you.

Trust the recent reviews. This restaurant used to be solid and reliable. However, after Covid the prices tripled and service went downhill. Tonight was the last straw. I called in an order. I arrived twenty minutes after as told, no one greeted me for minutes until I inquired about my order. The person then disappears. I inquired again after waiting ten minutes only to find out "we are out of gnocchi, I guess you weren't told." I was shocked. I was not greeted, I had to keep inquiring about the order while the staff stayed on their phones and talking amongst themselves, only to be told they were out of what I ordered. Why take my order in the first place? At least I called this order in. This is not the first time this happened because in the summer I ordered via DoorDash for pick up twice. Both times my order was accepted, card charged, only to arrive and be told they were out of it and I needed to request a refund. Quite shady, especially for an establishment full of pompous staff. Save yourself and avoid this place. It's not what it used to be.

We stopped by the Bicycle Club for drinks and dessert. Bar service was inattentive even with limited guests, and we were disappointed that the dessert menu had much fewer options versus their menu that’s posted online. There was a DJ in the bar area after 8pm on Friday, which was an interesting vibe given how empty the place was.

Renovation done with new owners a while back. No wait at lunch. Check out menu in advance for your liking. Beware temptation of delicious hot garlic knots and bread they bring complimentary....I gave in and had 5 or 6 but who's counting

Had a baby shower gathering and the food has been great from the past till now. Most places went down in quality due to Covid but Giovanni has been great for years..

I dined here last night ... we sat at the bar ,a dj was music playing and there were disco lights everywhere. My man and I drink beer , there's nothing more annoying than a bartender who can't draft a proper beer and leaves a sip or two out of the glass... then our pizza arrived and it was just acceptable, i've honestly never seen prosciutto look so poorly! The most appetizing thing thus far is the garlic knots with sun dried oil for dipping .. We got a steak sandwich to go for our son and it was like leather , he could not eat it!! Please think twice before eating here

Lunch with an older relative. We were there during a quiet time of the early afternoon Friday the day after Thanksgiving. Parking and handicap access was very good. The margarita pizza and salads were delicious. Our waitress was lovely and attentive.

One of the best spots in North Jersey, love the knots and red sauce, but pasta is a must.
