Italian Restaurants near Brainerd

“We love Giovanni's and we're so glad to hear they had come back. We love their food and greatly appreciate the delivery aspect of the restaurant as well. However, we do wish they would stick the hours posted on Google and their doors. Sometimes we will find that they've closed a few hours early. Their buffet is also great but we find that when we go, they don't have any of the classic pepperoni, beef/sausage, or just cheese out very often. We love Gio's and hope to continue enjoying them often. P.S. the fruit pizzas are missed :)“

“Beautiful quaint restaurant with a nice selection of family style meals. Portion sizes can feed 3-6 people. We have the kiddos and 2 of their flatbreads easily fed them all. Loved the atmosphere - it feels like a little escape into some small European city. Bonus they had gluten-free options which is always a hit for me. The family enjoyed our visit as we were just driving through...we weren't staying at the lodge.“

“When we walked in the door we were immediately greeted and asked if we wanted a booth or table. Then were then brought to a booth. Waitress brought waters out right away. Since it was our first time being there, we asked for recommendations. Waitress was very willing to discuss menu specials and her favorites. We ordered our food and drinks. A salad was brought out within minutes as were the drinks. Shortly after finishing salads our food was brought out. Waitress asked if there was anything further needed at that time. We indicated not at the moment. Waitress was very attentive. Food was delicious. Place was clean and felt comfortable. We will be back! Thank you.“
