Awesome foods and wines…and don’t forget to ask the owner about the amaro selection. Impressive!

Food was good. Service was terrible. The table was dirty. It was difficult to get the server’s attention. Insanely overpriced for the experience.

Pricey but very good. The spicy seafood pasta (not always available) was tasty and *very* plentiful. Service was efficient; noise level was quite high. I don't get the negative reviews, which by my experience, are undeserved.

I was just refused a seating with an hour before closing with no regard for customer service. Very sad, but they lost my business for good.

We are patrons since Gio Batta opened. The wonderful atmosphere, Francesco's lovingly-crafted & beautiful foods, and the excellent, attentive and well-trained staff combine to make this our go-to restaurant in Tivoli, and always a dinner visit when we're in the area. You'll taste the love, and whatever your meal selection you can't go wrong. Enjoy!

They charge 18% operation fee + tax instead of tips. It seems this restaurant is on the anti-tip movement. I agreed with that mind, but that mind affected the service mind also, I guess. The employees (about 10 or fewer people) eat and chat while only 2 tables of customers(4 people) have dinner quietly. I had never seen this kind of scene before at the restaurant. I feel I was uninvited guest of their party. The food was good, though. But I would not come back to this restaurant.

I recently visited the area for the second time in three years and am not sure why I don't go more often! Friend and I sat outside and enjoyed aperol spritzes, chunks of parm, prosciutto, calamari and their penne arrabbiata. We left satisfied and with leftovers! All the servers were so sweet. The arrabbiata was deeply flavorful and spicy, the best I've had since I visited Rome. With two drinks each the bill was high but nothing unexpected from a high quality restaurant. Looking forward to going again!

Great Italian food! Pasta is fresh, although on the saltier side. Appetizer, Dessert and drinks are amazing also!
GioBatta was lovely! We met there for lunch. I had called ahead about handicapped access- there's a little 2-in step up into one of the doors. The owner had a special ramp made for us! We were a group of six so we got to try a lot of things. We had pasta Bolognese, Spaghetti a la Vongole, gluten free pasta Carbonara and spinach ravioli with brown butter sauce. Everything was delicious. It's great to have the option of real homemade pasta that is gluten free. Everybody ate more than they'd planned to. And with an aperol Spritz in hand, it felt like we were actually in Italy.

Very warm vibes on a Sunday, with families dining, and lively conversations flowing.
So many yummy menu options, I decided to try pasta the next go.
Service was friendly and efficient.
Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options available
Parking: Easy to find street parking in the quaint village of Tivoli
Kid-friendliness: Lots of families wi the kids when I was there. Great atmosphere that gave off vibes of being in Europe.

We recently returned from an amazing trip to Southern Italy and have been on the hunt for delicious, authentic pasta. This past weekend, we finally tried GioBatta and were extremely pleased with both the food and the service. The restaurant isn't particularly large, but the tables are arranged nicely, allowing for ample space between them. The overall decor reminds us of a restaurant we visited in Tricase—think it's the Venetian plaster. The focaccia was beautifully baked and seasoned, and the linguine alle Vongole was mind-blowingly delicious. We also ordered steak and branzino for our second course, and while they were slightly under-seasoned compared to the appetizers and pasta, we still really enjoyed our meal overall.
