Giovanni Italian Restaurant

This was our first time eating here. We had a great experience starting with our waiter, George. He was truly a light! The food and drinks were amazing as well! Highly recommend!

Thank You George!!!

My parents took me here for my birthday and the entire restaurant experience was 10/10. We went at around 7:00 and were seated as soon as we got inside. The hostess was nice and friendly, our waitress was very polite and attentive. The appetizers and bread were out in a timely manner along with our food which tasted absolutely amazing. I will forever recommend the spinach and artichoke dip and I will definitely be back in the future.

Location has harbor views, inside hostess was friendly but our server Georgio was fabulous, he had high energy and great customer service skills. Overall food was good. I’d suggest a little thicker broth for the lobster bisque and less cook time for the calamari. Other than that there were no complaints.👏🏽👏🏽

We attempted to be spontaneous by checking this location out on Valentine’s Day. We called an hour to check availability and waitlist at 3:30pm. We were advised they were not busy and we wouldn’t have a long wait. We arrived an hour later and was advised reservations would be required & they were fully booked. I asked the manager and she stated only reservations tables available but fully booked. Btw there were no long lines or anyone waiting. Manger on duty acted confused when we asked for clarification and appeared to be indifferent lack of care. Training is needed from manager on duty and host. Will not recommend to my family or friends.we went to Gloria’s across the sidewalk and was immediately welcome and had a beautiful evening.

Server was great! I thought he was attentive and sociable ensuring we were good with everything. We had the calamari, gnocchi, and clam pasta.

Unfortunately the calamari had some freezer burn when you peel into it. The gnocchi my wife got was delicious. The clam pasta, I thought it could have been slighty thicker sauce to get the dish holding together more. Overall I thought the place was great

We were looking for an Italian restaurant near our hotel. A place that had been here in previous trips had moved, so we tried this restaurant without any prior knowledge except the online reviews. They were so positive that we decided to give them a try. We were not disappointed. We were very happy with our decision to gamble on this restaurant that was unknown to us.

We had a group of friends celebrating a birthday. Brandon really hit it outta the park. He was so gracious and patient with us all. We had 3 people with us who had never visited here prior. Again thank you for your kindness and hospitality. The food is always delicious and the drinks are worth the price. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
