Giovanni's Pizzeria & Kitchen 875 Rinehart Road, Lake Mary, FL 32746

"Slow service. Wads of raw garlic. Burnt bread. Soggy calamari. No ricotta and see through thin crust on the calzone. Do not recommend. Picture is of the garlic from one serving of pasta."

"Service was amazing! But the food! We had pepperoni and sausage pizza, sangria and cheesecake. 10/10 will come back."

"ABSOLUTE WORST!!! My company ordered lunch from this place, and I assure you we will never again do so. The order came wrong and when we finally got the right order it was the most disgusting thing. The calamari was soggy and tasted spoiled, the chicken Francesca was watered down with NO flavor. Out of the entire order the pizza was edible and yet was not their best. It's upsetting having to order lunch and be disappointed like this."

"Have been going here for several years. The Giovanni brothers have apparently sold all their restaurants but it appears that the new owners/management company have kept most of the wait and kitchen staff. My mom has gotten the Eggplant Parm every time and loves it. I look forward to the specials, especially Thursday's Chicken gorgonzola. We get dinner sized portions which leaves us with an extra meal or two to take home. Salad is huge and always fresh. The bread is awesome (if you like garlic) but my only complaint is that is almost always arrives between the salad and the main meal. Too late to have with the salad and then no longer hot and fresh with the meal. I have never tried their pizza because I have found what I like. Addendum: had the chicken fransces the other day. Excellent taste, just the right amount of lemon to it. Two fairly large pieces and this was their lunch portion. I took half home and added mushroom and spinach to it which really completed it. I will probably have to pay a surcharge but will ask them to do the same next time I am there. The chef is usually amenable to simple modifications to his dishes such as that, or, using less salt. Even under new management, this remains my favorite italian restaurant here."

"The atmosphere was calm. We had a large party and we all sat comfortably. The food was good but in my opinion, had no "wow factors". The portions were good for the amount we spent. Our server didn't have the best customer service and we felt rushed."
