It exceeded our expectations casual yet chic! Our waiter was amazing drinks and food were excellent and we are from the New York area

The wait staff was friendly, courteous and timely. The food was excellent. Eating outside cut the noise level down to quiet, which added to the ambience.

Beautiful patio, great food ALWAYS, and wonderful service!! LOVE Don G's!! And...do NOT miss the fried olives. I dream about those things!! 😁

Our meal was excellent. Perfectly served and perfectly prepared, there's nothing to complain about. Instead, one can only complement the delicious pasta, including the pesto mandilli. The Caesar salad was perfectly dressed; the salmon was cooked to perfection. There's a reason locals keep returning here time and time again. And there's a reason visitors to the Valley want to experience Giovanni's hospitality. Great food. Great service.

There were a lot of flies, constantly landing on our food, and our bodies are legs. It was quite annoying. I've never experienced this before at the restaurant. Perhaps some fly traps might be useful to slow down the population.

We met old friends and lingered over a delicious lunch in the garden! Everything was perfect and our waiter, Carlos, made it really fun!

Love the food and the service here. Both are consistently good. Became one of my go-to spots when I’m visiting the wine country

Great experience!
Definitely kid-friendly. The patio is amazing—great ambiance with a nice mix of music, natural shade from the trees, and a beautiful fountain. There’s also a lovely view of the restaurant’s private garden, which adds to the charm.

The food was very good, and the service matched the quality.

Highly recommend! It can get quite busy, so making a reservation is a good idea, especially on weekends.

We had a great time! Food was very good, Giovanni took great care of us. All the front of house team was amazing as well 💫

We knew going in it would be pricey with tip and taxes. $55pp. Only 1 glass of wine bought out of 3 people. But it was a wonderful place to splurge once in a while. Fountains running for lovely ambiance and tables nicely separated for quieter conversations. Recommend it with knowledge of cost up front.

Butterscotch pudding was Sooo yummy! Kids and pets are allowed. Great ambiance!

Dietary restrictions: The waiter or waitress asks you if you have any food allergies and then provide you with what options are available that fit your needs.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly saw families sitting at tables with children. There is a water fountain that kids can throw coins into in the middle of the outdoor section.
