Exceptional in every way. Out of this world food with varying specialty items included on the menu. NYC style menu items that are fresher and better than those people cramped up in that dirty old city ever get. Every aspect of my dining experience was perfect. Generous servings. Moderate pricing. Excellent quality. Top notch service. As good as it gets anywhere anytime. Love itParking: Private parking lot. Well lit. Felt safe.Kid-friendliness: High chairs. Children's menu. Most Texas people enjoy seeing the families dining together.Wheelchair accessibility: Not perfect but close enough.
Best restaurant in Palestine. Such fine food and great service !!!

So friendly and inviting. Excellent service and my waitress was a real doll! Food hot n warm! Cream of Spinach, Mozzarella fresh tomatoes bread and regular bread after your seated! They are way way way better than a ? Applebee's or Chili and they give Olive Garden a long big run for service food and atmosphereParking: lots if parking on side and in the back too

Great place for authentic Italian food. Great atmosphere. Chicken Aristocrat is geat!
I’ve had better Italian… but for a small town this place is great. Very friendly service and super cute atmosphere. I did enjoy the Balsamic and oil bread dip.
Our first time eating from here and we decided to get our food to go. Lady up front was nice and everything went smoothly. Got back home and I ate about 2/3's of my spaghetti bolognese when I noticed a small cockroach in my food. It was very disappointing to say the least because we've been eyeing this place for a year and our 1st try will unfortunately be our last. I had looked up to see other reviews and someone else had complained about roaches 2 years ago. Seems like there might be an issue with hygiene.

Everything was delicious. Plates are large enough to share.
We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in for the first time. We were greeted and seated with a smile. Our server Kyla was very helpful and honest about the selections we made. I will say that living in Chicago for 65 years I have dined In an untold number of high end Italian eateries to the Ma and Pa neighborhood joints, the hidden gems. Places that Sinatra frequented. Giovanni’s is right up there with the best of them. Kyla was most friendly and her service was great. If you have to drive out of your way to go there you will be most delighted. The food and service is exceptional.
We stopped by on our way home from Holliday with the family and walked into a family style restaurant. The food was great and the service was very good. A very comfortable atmosphere. If you are ever in Palestine TX go by and enjoy great food.Kid-friendliness: When we were there, there was a big table with family and the kids were laughing and having a wonderful time. I enjoyed watching the kids have fun. I love to see people having a good time together.
