Giovanni's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Wow! Food better than expected. Portions (even for lunch) are massive. Timing of the food could have been more thoughtful. Adult bevs took awhile to get. Overall would recommend this place!

Amazing food and great wait staff.

The food was delicious and the attention from our waitress Alexandra was excellent, she was charismatic and knew how to take care of us.

Great food, excellent service, Alexandra was on top..! Thank you .!

Service is absolutely INCREDIBLE, Jonathan and Daylan were super friendly, some of the best service I’ve had. The food is also delicious for decent prices. Definitely recommend if you’re in the Lake Nona area!

Food was very good and our server Camila was very helpful and understanding.

I’ve been here a few times with my family. The service and food are very good. I’ve had a couple different things on the menu and have never had a bad meal. I definitely recommend if you are looking for Italian food and pizza.

I came in for something light and a couple of beers at the bar. Ordered the bruschetta as just as an appetizer. Granted, it looked good, but it was on a large piece of bread and not toasted well at all as it should be. Looked good and I ate maybe half of it. Later that night my stomach was killing me and the praying to the porcelain god happened. That was the only thing I ate all day. Won’t be visiting again, sorry. Really need to change that menu item to something more traditional with items that wont make me sick.

The food was delicious .Karla the best server ever was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made sure our table was well taken care of throughout the night. She gave great recommendations for appetizers and drinks. Speaking of drinks, the bartender, Jonathan , was incredible! Their cocktails were perfectly balanced my favorite limon drop martini and complemented the meal beautifully.

We dined on a Wednesday evening. Thee place was not busy. We ordered an order of garlic knots, a personal cheese pizza, a personal supreme pizza, and an order of the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken with an iced tea and club soda. The fettuccine included a soup or salad. My wife chose the minestrone soup. The soup was reheated and came out luke warm. The garlic knots were the same, luke warm. Thee pizzas were okay. Nothing to rave about. The food at this dining establishment is good if you are drunk and can't notice. Our server was nice and polite. The total bill with tip was $74. We were not impressed and left disappointed. The only reason this place has business is because it's the only pizzeria in the area with a full bar without having to go into Lake Nona and because it's right next to a hotel. The guests from the hotel go there to get their drink on. If you want good pizza and Italian pasta you can definitely do better than Giovanni's.

this experience was unbelievable. I ordered a personal cheese pizza at 5:30 PM and I was told 20 minutes so I showed up at 6 PM when I showed up I was told that the pizza had 5 minutes left. I then ended up waiting till 6:30 PM to get my personal size pizza. The service there was not good as they do not pay attention to the customers. I don’t believe it is fair that I was told a large table just got sat when I ordered over an hour ago and all of their pizzas were put in before my one personal sized pizza.
