The food was good. The pizza looked very appetizing. My only issue was the crush was dry. It would be great if they add some sort of garlic oil/butter for it to have flavor and not be dry. The stramboli was okay too. Again, missing that touch of a flavor. Our order was take out and it was ready within the time they had told me. Staff seemed busy but in a good mood.

Hello everyone,Recently, I went to Giovanni's for the second time in my life, as the last time I was there with my family, we got takeout. This time, we dined in. I was here with my mom, a family friend, and my best friend on International Woman's Day, where we had dinner and spent quality girl time together. The atmosphere of the restaurant was really nice, as was the decore. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable on all the dishes that you can order at this restaurant. We each got a dish and a pizza for everyone to share. Everything was very delicious ?. Giovanni's is the perfect family restaurant and get together place for best friends. I will totally come back again.Sincerely, a happy customer.
For Portland area Italian this was pretty solid. The only vegetarian sauce option was mushroom, though it wasn't too mushroomy, so that was good.

Wow wow wow.I don’t even know where to start.My family’s wanted to try this place for the past 5 years, because we’ve always been curious.Well.This food is terrible. Absolutely terrible.We ordered well over 100$ in food (spaghetti, chicken parm, lasagna, seafood Alfredo, 2 soups, salads, cheesy bread, garlic bread, and cannolis.The only thing my family actually finished was the salad and the bread.The chicken parm was that of jail variety.The spaghetti was just weird tasting.The lasagna tasted like a microwave meal from the freezer section at grocery outlet.Going to be surprised if the seafood pasta doesn’t give us food poisoning.The chicken noodle soup was actually good, and the minestrone wasn’t good.The cannolis tasted like chalk on the outside and sadness on the inside AND they were half full. (Filled on ends only, not all the way through)This is where you go when you want to spend a lot more money; for hospital food.Dollar tree Olive Garden.Perhaps just go to Olive Garden.My Sicilian ancestors are upsetty spaghetti with me right now for wasting my money here.Boo Giovanni’s, boo.

Their pizza is top-notch, as well as, all their pasta dishes.
This was my families first visit to Giovanni's, and we were not disappointed. We were originally heading to the Olive Garden but remembered hearing about this place from a friend & we're always looking for smaller local businesses. As soon as we walked in, we were hit with all the amazing smells!! People were leaving with carry out pizzas left and right. It took no time at all to get seated despite the fact that it was still pretty busy at 8:30pm. The menu had so many choices that it was difficult for us to narrow it down.....we wanted to try everything!! Once we ordered, our salads came our very quickly & our food was not too far behind. The chicken parm was fantastic, although I was not too impressed with the lasagna. My husband loved his chicken parm w/spaghetti, he also enjoyed my lasagna :) My son loved his ravioli and spaghetti combo (+meatball) also. The portions were large & we each took home about half of what we ordered. Next time, we plan on trying some of the pizzas, including the taco, the margherita & more!!
Traditional classic amazingly good Italian food. They have delicious pizza and their chicken pasta soup (Italian chicken noodle) is the best I’ve ever had. They sell their house made soups to go along with their delicious Italian dressing. Portions and prices are on point.
Today is my daughters birthday and she wanted to come here for dinner. First time eating here the food was amazing, my daughter got the seafood Alfredo, I got the lasagna and her friend got a personal pizza. Service got 4 stars because our waiter didn't come back to our table after dropping off the food. We were done eating before he came back and my daughter wanted more garlic bread. The atmosphere gets 3 stars because so many people crowed in that I had people standing behind me talking while I was eating. It was awkward. A different system for people waiting for tables would be great. Other then that it's a good places. Just disappointed I couldn't get my daughter another garlic bread for her birthday dinner.

Great atmosphere. Was very busy but it wasn’t too loud. Waitress was very nice, polite, and prompt with service. I personally thought that the filling in the cheese ravioli needed a little more flavor, but the tiramisu was delicious. Thank you for giving us a great date night!
