Giovanni's Italian Restaurant

Hands down my favorite Italian restaurant.
Tortellini Bolognese is my go to weekly 10/10, homemade INCREDIBLE garlic bread and dipping sauce with every meal for free.
I recommend everything on the menu I have eaten ALL OF IT.

If you’re looking for upscale this isn’t it. It’s a nice place, dated but nice. The service is great with a smile. The food … is not what I expected. The calamari is chewy but I appreciate it being seasoned. I had the veal parm over spaghetti. The sauce tasted like it was out of the local grocery store bottle. The veal was decent with melted mozzarella. Obviously the veal was put in the salamander to melt the cheese, placed on top of unseasoned pasta with sauce. My first clue should’ve been, not having Italian dressing for salad. Basically the food has no love. I’m just passing through town. But I wouldn’t come back.

The food, service, and atmosphere were very good. The food came out at just the right speed. The server was attentive and friendly. I went for the pasta sampler and all three were quite good.

Unfortunately, it was extremely hot in the restaurant during our visit on friday evening. It was clear that the waiter was feeling unwell because of the heat it was literally written all over their faces. They did their best to remain professional and hide it but it was obvious they were struggling. One of the servers even fainted in the dining area while serving a table. She was helped by another waitress and a guest, while the manager and others appeared not to pay attention. I sincerely hope management addresses the temperature issue, as it directly impacts both staff well-being and the overall guest experience

This is a hidden jewel rarely crowded and the food is great. Usually enough for 2 meals. Delicious!

Very pricey for what we got. Kids portion was $9.95 and not enough for 10 year old. Owner told my daughter I cried a little but paid when she went to the counter. Very disappointed and won’t go back. Also eggplant parm was not good at all. Took over an hour to get our food.

Food was horrible and kids plate was $10 which was not even enough food for a 9 year old. Owner is rude. Thankfully our waitress was kind. Don’t waste your money lol.

The Worst “Italian” Experience Imaginable If you’re looking for a master class in how not to run a restaurant, this is the place. We waited over an hour for our food — and no, it wasn’t because the place was crowded.,which somehow made it worse. When we asked how much longer we we told we could leave-so we did. Watching take out orders move like clockwork while our stomachs growled felt like performance art. Honestly, if this was supposed to be an “authentic Italian experience,” skip it. I’d rather book a one-way ticket to a gas station in rural Nebraska. At least there, I’d get something hot and on time.

Absolutely terrible experience. We waited over an hour and fifteen minutes with two small children and were repeatedly brushed off when asking about our food. The manager was openly rude and dismissive, telling us “any minute” or that we were free to leave instead of offering a solution or apology. The lack of professionalism and basic customer service was shocking. I would never recommend this place, especially to families.

The food and atmosphere are good, but I wish they had a better sampler plate that isn't 3 very similar flavors all in a tiny little boat... something more like The Olive Garden does where each item is separate on the plate...
