Neighbourhood gem

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.

We have dined here many times. Last night we were celebrating a special birthday, however, we waited 15 minutes for someone, not a server, to come to our table and apologize for the lack of service. Then we waited another five or 10 minutes for a waitperson who had to come from another station. I don’t think she was happy about this They did offer a free appetizer, but the mood at the table was ruined. The food was delicious but the service was not the warm and welcoming experience I am used to. I will chalk it off to a bad night.

Exceptional neighborhood gem. While this restaurant is a bit out of the way in an industrial neighborhood, it is well worth the trip.

We have been to Giovanni’s numerous times. We understand it was busy but it took way too long to get our salads and main course. Someone came by to apologize that it was taking so long but we were shocked she didn’t even offer to buy us drinks or dessert to make the experience better. Not saying we would have had dessert but she should have done something for us with the length of time it took.
