Giovanni's Italian Restaurant 5277 Linda Vista Road, San Diego, CA 92110

"Mmmmm. Great little cafe/restaurant. It was pretty busy for a Thursday night. We got right in but also the tables were full. The salad was nice and fresh and the pasta was delicious and comforting after walking around Sea World all day. We got spaghetti for the kids and a carbonara for me. It made for great left-overs the next day too. We were served in a reasonable amount of time. Our waiter was friendly. I would love to go here again if we're ever back in San Diego!"

"We got there right at 5 after spending most of the day at the San Diego Zoo. Kennedy was our waitress and she was amazing. Took our order and got us served while people started streaming in. By the time we got to dessert the restaurant was full. Great food nice and hot and fresh and I was really impressed with Kennedy’s work ethic. She was amazing."

"Very disappointed on our take out portions. The food is great but portions are getting smaller. I would drive halfway across town to pick-up. Now I'm gonna think twice about it."

"Absolutely delicious!! Two of us came here for dinner on a Friday night, about seven pm. The restaurant was about half full, and we were seated right away. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their food. We split a full Caesar salad (pic), which was very tasty, and topped with crisp croutons and slices of Parmesan. We also split an individual size/9 inch Hawaiian pizza (pic), and it had the perfect balance of cheeses, sauce and toppings, delivered quickly and piping hot to our table. The restaurant was also an easy drive from Hotel Circle."
