Wonderful gem in the neighborhood. We have been dining here consistently for over a year now, both the brunch and dinner are excellent. We especially love coming Friday nights for live music. They recently had a fantastic porterhouse special, cooked and sliced perfectly with pasta and wine, as well as a unique clam gnocchi which was a favorite of our group. What makes this place even better is Giovanni himself, who is always so warm and welcoming, and made the night for my parents who were visiting from out of town. They already want to come back next time. You may even catch him singing a song on Friday!

This is one of our favorite neighborhood places. Good Italian food in a nice setting and the owner is friendly and frequently there.

Lovely Italian spot. Great bottomless brunch price, live old school music, delicious food. One of my favorite places and right next to prospect— you can’t beat it😊

Giovanni’s Brooklyn Eats is a true neighborhood gem! From the moment you walk in, the cozy and welcoming vibe sets the tone for a great dining experience. The menu has that perfect mix of classic Italian favorites and creative dishes that make you want to try everything.
The pasta is fresh and cooked to perfection, the sauces are rich and flavorful, and you can tell every dish is made with love and care. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the staff really makes you feel like family.
Whether you’re stopping by for a casual dinner or a special occasion, Giovanni’s delivers every time. It’s easily one of the best Italian spots in Brooklyn authentic, delicious, and full of charm.

I really enjoy Giovanni's. Went for the first time earlier in the year and returned again this past weekend. The food is delicious. The squid ink cavatelli is so good I had it both times I was there. Everyone provides great service. The live music during Saturday nights is also a nice touch. I will continue to go back.

This place would be 4+ stars if the would change out the lighting. Too bright, gives it a cafeteria feel. Needs softer more pleasing lighting.

It is way below the standards of the original, which we enjoyed for years. Too hard, no soft walls. I is impossible to speak or hear well.

I came here last week, they only have 1 waiter for an almost full house, the food took 40min+ to arrive, I was with my hungry kid (which makes any wait time feel double) and asked if the order of plain spaghetti for him could be ready before, they said yes, but after following up a few times I had to go to the kitchen and wait there to grab it myself. I love this place, hope they fix it....
Popped in here on a whim last night and was very pleased. I had tagliatelle with artichokes and cream sauce, very yummy. My husband had an arugula salad with a side of white beans, which were delicious. We live in central Park Slope and now have this place on our radar!

Bravo! Excellent food and fantastic service. The chicken franchise and branzino were out of this world. Great wine selection. Our only regret was not trying Giovanni’s sooner! We will be back soon. 😊

Pasta al Forno sauce was acidic and undercooked. Diet soda was horrible. Service was good, but the kitchen is taking too many shortcuts. Will not return.
