My parents used to take me here when I was a little girl. While the food is still good, something about the atmosphere just isn’t the same since they moved. It used to feel like walking into a big family dinner, with warmth, energy, and that old-school Italian charm. I remember the cook in the windows making sauces and spaghetti for all the passersby to see! It was so unique. Now, it feels a little too polished, a little too impersonal—with the TV screens and the decor that’s just like every other restaurant. It’s lost the essence of what made it special.
Another disappointment was the misleading website. The pictures show pizzas that aren’t even on the menu, which was frustrating when we sat down expecting to order something that simply wasn’t available. It left the impression that either the menu had been changed without updating the site, or the images were just for show. Don’t call it a Margherita pizza when it isn’t.
Overall, if you’re just here for a meal, the food still delivers. But if you’re looking for that nostalgic Da Giovanni experience, you might leave feeling like something’s missing.

My husband and I recently visited this restaurant and, while the service was good, the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered the Parmigiana meal and a pepperoni pizza, but unfortunately, neither dish impressed us. The portions were generous, but the quality didn’t match. The pizza was just average—nothing particularly memorable. The Parmigiana however, was quite disappointing. It was extremely thin, greasy, and lacked the comforting, hearty texture you’d expect. I ended up eating just the pasta that came with it, which says a lot. Overall, despite the friendly service, the food simply didn’t deliver, and I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

Very disappointed with lunch, cold toast and potatoes. Flavorless omelet!! Service leaves much to be desired. Next time I'll cross the street to a chain lunch restaurant!!

It's not what it used to be but, for me it's nostalgic. Still the original taste. The menu have shrunk but still fine.
Got the Pizza-ghetti because it seemed like a fun, whimsical dish. However the pizza tasted like school cafeteria food and the pasta sauce was okay. Service was also pretty slow for how empty the place was at the time.

Breakfast at the best western hotel. A shame! 25min to have 2 pankakes and get kicked out because the restaurant closes at 10am. Never been treated like that in my life, to run away

Pizza so soupy we had to pull out the utensils. dough tastes like cardboard, no flavour literally. They somehow managed to put every end of the onion onto our pizza. the cheese was fresh but no good because it’s pilled on. The tomatoes is are diced into large cubes. Can not be picked up from the middle without it falling. services was okay.

I am a regular at this restaurant!
Always nice to eat here!
Small hitch this time...
I had the plate of spaghetti with meatball and Italian sausage.
There were no meatballs left, so I had spaghetti with Italian sausage.
I understand that sometimes we may run out of certain products. This is part of the unexpected!
However, if the price remains the same without the meatball, I would have expected them to add a sausage to compensate!
Regardless, I will still come back here since it is very, very rare that I am disappointed!
Parking: Parking is available on Sainte-Catherine Street, in relatively large quantities and there is a fee. Don’t forget to pay it otherwise you will get a ticket!

Very good service. Pizzaghetti was good. Against the portion of spaghetti that is really too small and really lacks cheese on your pizza. Just be a little more generous...!!

A decent restaurant that stands out positively in the area. Food ok, rather pizza hut standard, but it can be. Prices, when you add tips and etc., are rather high.
