Diner Reviews
  • "Good Italian Restaurant situated at the Crossroads Mall on Pine Ridge Road. Very good food and service and very popular locally from Vineyards etc."
    Dined on 2/25/2014
  • "We had a very enjoyable evening meeting with friends and having a very delicious dinner. We are from St. Louis and winter in Naples and always look forward to getting together with our friends at Giovanni's. we do this at least once a month while in Naples."
    Dined on 2/27/2014
  • "...ordered sole in a white wine sauce with linguine. When it was hot the fishy flavor wasn't so noticeable, but as the dish cooled, the fishy taste became more apparent and I couldn't finish the fish. Nothing was done when I relayed the issue. Other courses were good and the others who ordered pasta dishes with red sauce were much happier."

  • "Went with a group of 10 and the service was very good. The portions were pretty large and the food was good."
    Dined on 6/10/2013
  • "We were staying in Bonita Springs and this restaurant was recommended by a friend who had dined there before. We wanted a nice place for a Valentines's dinner; this place filled the bill. The ambiance is very nice with white table clothes and fresh flowers on the tables. Everyone in our party loved their food and we took leftovers home as the portions were ample. The restaurant is located in a "strip mall" in north Naples, but was easy to find. A great dinner out!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The homemade garlic button rolls are our if this world!"
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "The place was crowded and the wait staff seemed almost out-of-control rushed. Our fried calamari appetizer was greasy but otherwise tasteless. As my husband said, "clearly frozen." The salads were an embarrassment: handfuls of lettuce just thrown on the plates, with 2 tiny cherry tomoatoes. My husband's veal marsala was drowning in grey gravy, and he had to search for the veal, there was so little of it. I had a grilled veal chop that was actually very good, but it was served on a plate with wilted lettuce and some unattractive steamed vegetables. Our guest had ordered a side of mixed vegetables. Halfway through the meal, they still hadn't come out, and when they finally did they were still cold inside, again obviously from frozen."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "My wife and I like the décor, convenience, and cuisine. Marie, our server, was outstanding. And we like the fact that if we eat early there is no problem being seated."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "Always outstanding food! We dine there several times a month and are always very pleased."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "We had 3 different types of pizza and they were all very good. Service was excellent!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Giovanni's is somewhat hidden in a small strip mall next to Physicians Regional Hospital on Pine Ridge. The Italian food is simply delicious with homemade noodles in the various pasta selections and the pizza was very good. The dessert menu had some unique selections and also included some favorites such as tiramisu and the best cannoli I have tasted outside of NYC."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "After two very good dinners at Giovanni's, we tried it for lunch. Bowls and plates for lobster bisque and veal parm were ice cold. Cutlery lacked a spoon for handling the spaghetti and bread knives made cutting the veal difficult. I have a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in my family and we agree that piping hot plates with hot entrees are the sign of a good chef in the kitchen."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "In all fairness... it was Valentines Day, and in season, so the place was very busy and the noise level was high. The server was not stellar, and we tried to get our dialog going with the wait staff, but they were just too busy to give us the attention we requested. The Appetizers, and the Salads we the bright side, but the main course and the Pasta dishes were less the desirable. We will most like not go back, because the quality of the Italian restaurants in Naples are just that much more superior to Giovanni's. We are spoiled and our visit just did not cut it! But, I'll never say never..."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Garlic rolls are the best. We called to say we'd be 15 minutes late. No problem. Swordfish & grouper specials were wonderful. $25 sauvignon blanc was excellent. Great place to go 15 minutes from home. Busy night, but could still have conversation at the table."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "we waited @ table over 2 hrs for food. food was good waiter did not separate check as requested we asked many times for water refills we have dined here many times,very disappointed and embarrassed with our out of town guests we asked to see manager, but manager did not visit"
    Dined on 2/8/2014

    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "we waited too long for our cocktails and our dinner! will never go back. the quality of food is not worth it!"
    Dined on 2/5/2014
  • "This was a great meal for the price. Fresh and well presented. Generous portions, wine list is good and desserts are good."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "Great atmosphere and good food ( large portions, too big for us)"
    Dined on 1/30/2014
  • "We have eaten at Giovanni's several times now and the food is prepared by a REAL Italian chef and is excellent. Value is very good and they offer a half price wine list until 6.30 each night. The home made garlic rolls are the best I have ever eaten. The staff are friendly and attentive but on a couple of occasions are unable to be specific about the menu, i.e.I asked if the shrimp was shelled in a particular and was told yes but it wasn't."
    Dined on 1/27/2014
  • "Let me start by saying this is our favorite Italian restaurant in Naples. We love their entrees, frequently get their take out pizza and generally have good service. Our waiter, who we have had once before with a similarly unpleasant experience was not very attentive and had a condescending demeanor. We asked 4 times for water for one of our party. The first basket of bread provided didn't have enough rolls for each person at the table to have one. We waited too long to be able to place our dinner order. It was my husband's birthday and I had to ask several times for his cake to be brought out. The waiter was doing it at his pace vs. my husband's who was getting impatient. We won't schedule a group event here again. Very Noisy."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "We asked for a booth, were taken right past several, and were seated at the worst table in the restaurant, near the take out, people constantly talking and bumping our chairs. Interestingly, we later noticed that couples were seated in the booths that we passed by. Since We were two women? The whole seating thing irritating and didn't start the evening well. Our waiter was very busy with a large party next to us, so we were clearly a bother. The food certainly isn't worth the treatment we received. Not recommended."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Excellent food and fine service. Many Italian dish choices."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Great value. Awesome tomato sauce. Lasagna was filled with tasty sauce and lots of cheese. They only criticism from us was that the pasta in the lasagna was so so. We would definitely return for other flavours on their menu. They have a happy team serving you."
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "The food was delicious, but since we four were not drinking....we were really given the RUSH . From the waiter to the bus boys...they were clearing our plates almost before we were finished eating. They couldn't get us out fast enough. Very disappointing evening. Will not be going back."
    Dined on 1/23/2014
  • "My husband and I and a friend dined at Giovanni's this past Tuesday evening. We have dined there several times before and found the food to be excellent and a very good value. Our recent experience however, was ok but not as good as before. Our friend had the lobster ravioli which was nothing special; my husband had the seafood over pasta which was just ok; I had the salad with chicken which was fine but I asked for the dressing on the side but it was served with the dressing on it. The prices seemed to be higher than previously experienced. Our waiter seemed so busy that I felt he was disinterested and not able to give us personal service. I think we'll wait until season ends before we go to Giovanni's again."
    Dined on 1/21/2014
  • "This restaurant has the best veal selection that I have found in Naples. Reservations are a must in season as the restaurant is very popular. Prices are reasonable and the food is excellent."

  • "Been here in Naples for 2 years and this is one of the Best Italian restaurants. Especially for the price!!!!! We all loved our meals. The only down point was it was bit of a drive from where we live in Naples.(Aqualane Shores) But definitely worth the drive for the real Italian food and a decent price!!!!!"

Best pizza in town too!!"

  • "We discovered this place two years ago based upon excellent reviews. Tucked in a strip shopping center Giovanni's provides great home cooked Italian food. Nothing fancy but really good food at reasonable prices. We have returned many times and have found the food to be consistently good. The sauce (gravy) is amazing."
    Dined on 11/10/2013
