The food is definitely overpriced. The chicken in the alfredo was all gristly and gross. There were hard chunks of garlic in the sauce. The sauce tasted almost like it went bad. The minestrone soup was over peppered. The rigatoni had a weird texture like kind of gummy. The sausage had big crunchy bits of fennel. Not the best way to end our vacation. We also requested utensils be included, but they weren’t. (Ordered through Grubhub)

This place has been around for years and we “refound ”a few weeks ago.OMG The best fish fry around. Crispy and with the right proportion of batter to fish. The fries come out nice and hot and crispy served with coleslaw and Mac saladAnd they also give your fresh warm Italian bread and this olive salad that is sooooo goodYou must try this soon. You wont be disappointed (They take reservations and walk ins)

I should have taken photos of our meal. The food was so good. We had New England Clam Chowder (10/10), warm Italian Bread with garlic butter (10/10) and served with olive tapenade (10/10). Main entry was Manicotti with two meatballs (10/10)! We’ll go back!
Soup was awesome, pizza was great, risotto was perfect. Great service and

Went for local restaurant week with my partner and I mentioned restaurant week because I want to extend some grace that what happened to us wouldn’t lilely be the typical experience, so keep that in mind with this review.The special that week was a three course meal for a prix fixe price. A couple items weren’t available by the time we got there even though it was only the first day for restaurant week there and so we have to pivot on a couple things, but those pivots ended up working well in our favor. For example, they were out of the 16 ounce porterhouse steak option, which we both wanted so we got an upgrade to a much larger cut and quality of steak (score!)Everything we had was good from the bread basket to the soup to the main entrée. Both of our steaks were cooked just right and both our server and kitchen staff apologized for the issue, which was nice since there was no certainty we would get steak at all since they were out of the special option. They even provided some complementary pasta as well.We wrapped up the meal with some dessert to go, The last thing to end the experience was the credit card machine/service seem to be down so if you wanted to pay by card, you essentially had to leave your information and they could run it the next day. I was a bit leery about this, but it worked out fine since I didn’t have any cash on me.I’d try Jovi's again at a different time just to see if the experience is a bit more smooth.

Went for dinner 12/22. Haven’t been in a while but always liked it here and food was always good. Our meal was very good, our server was great and very personable. However, one of our water glasses had a lipstick stain on it. Asked for straws and water was warm. Silver wear and dishes old and dingy. My husband ate a long hair that was in Manhattan. I went up to the bar and they gave me another drink, but I would have expected to at least had them take the drink off of the bill and the owner to acknowledge and apologize. I believe he was sitting at the bar when I went up to request another drink. Even though the food and server were great, it left a bad taste and we probably won’t go back.

Went to Jovi’s for the 1st time last evening & what a pleasant experience!Danny the bartender, greeted us very warmly & our drinks were served quickly. The menu was so enticing with a variety of choices. The artichokes francaise were excellent, followed by clams casino & salmon over spinach that disappeared in short order.The place is a “gem” - we’ll be back soon & loved the warm, friendly, neighborhood feeling of Jovi’s!
