Giovanni’s Ristorante invites you to experience Italian cuisine in an atmosphere reminiscent of the old world charm where friends and family gather to enjoy more than just a meal. The homemade pastas, the prime cuts of meat, the fresh fish and farm grown vegetables are carefully prepared to preserve a distinctive flavor of the finest regions.

Specialty wines and spirits complement each course. Guests enjoy tableside conversation with Frances Cannarsa Truant, the “padrona” or perhaps a visit from Chef Randy Truant. The atmosphere is convivial, warm, and aromatic. The staff is seasoned, the service impeccable.

The Godfather Room is the ideal setting for a business meeting.
The Wine Room offers a touch of romance for that special evening.
The Main Dining Room is a perfect place to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary.
There’s a Speak Easy in the back for the ultimate private party.

    The food was outstanding as usual. It was a new server and she did a very good job. Drinks, appetizer , bread and soup were timely and good. The main dishes were excellent and it is why we take our out of town guests there. We get there several times a year and it is over a 25 mile drive to get there. Well worth then drive. We will be back.

    Highly recommend your cravings for fine Italian go to Giovannis! Went there last night and excellent meal as always! Chris was our server and does not disappoint with prompt service and knowledge of items. Staff is friendly yet still professional to enjoy the ambiance.

    Food was outstanding as usual, service on the hand left a lot to be desired. Our waitress Sarah was terrible. We have been dining here for 25 years and never had a server as slow and rude as her.
