About Jovanina's Broken Italian

Jovanina's Broken Italian offers a wonderful dining experience with amazing scallops and inventive menu options. The ambiance is cozy and romantic, featuring earth-tone colors, beautiful lit white taper candles on each table, and elegant wine glasses that add rustic charm. The restaurant was once a cigar factory, and some decor has been kept to preserve its beautiful rustic feel.

The bar seating is highly recommended, with perfectly cooked octopus, creamy burrata, and expertly crafted drinks, including delicious mocktail options like a non-alcoholic Aperol Spritz. The pasta is made in-house, and any choice is sure to be great. The focaccia alone is worth the trip—warm, soft, and served with the creamiest, decadent butter. The scallop crudo is also a highlight.

Customers praise the food for being fabulous, especially the roasted carrots and scallops. The drinks are superb, and the atmosphere offers just the right amount of noise, with great music that allows conversation. The restaurant is a perfect spot for a nice meal with friends or a special celebration, combining fancy dining with a casual and comfy atmosphere. Service is highly praised, with attentive and professional staff who go above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Overall, it’s a place known for its fresh, thoughtfully prepared dishes and a cozy, upscale vibe.
