Giovanni's Restaurant & Bar

"The pasta tagliatelle was under cooked and void of any sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese not to mention the bland taste, which was so disappointing for such a simple dish which was meant to be a creamy pesto with sun dried tomatoes and Parmesan. I could’ve made this dish at home for half the price and a lot more flavour. The service was ok. The lighting was so low for the booth we were in, one of our party members had to get their phone torch out to read the menu. It’s a shame this was our experience as we have dined here before and the other dishes on the menu such as the ravioli and the pizza were fine. Overall, average food quality experience."

"The food was wonderful, the staff were very friendly and present. The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere around it. Very happy with my experience here."

"Excellent evening. I came to this restaurant after making a reservation and on arriving was quickly seated and introduced to a menu with a range of choices. The antipasto was served after a mere 15 minutes, shortly followed by dinner. Food was abundant, delicious and well worth the price, with a reliable classic style of preperation. The building is brightly decorated in a very patriotic manner and situated in a bustling uptown region. Very helpful albeit small staff were polite and cheery all evening, and when asked about their beautiful vintage piano were very conversational and inviting. On the evening I dined it was very quite but I understand that it is often quitr busy here. Only complaint of note is that it took a few tries to get a reservation due to sick staff, but this is minor and out of the management's control. Overall an excellent experience, I would dine again."

"Enjoyed dinner a few weeks ago, so impressed that we took overseas visitors there. Friendly professional service, excellent food arrived in a timely manner, Italian Caesar salad, pizza and mussels were exceptional. We'll be back"

"A delicious dinner and lovely ambiance. The staff were happy to cater to my request of a gnocchi as a starter. I was torn between the lamb and the gnocchi and didn't want to give up on one of them. Thankfully I was able to try both and very much enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend."
