"The food and service were excellent. The only negative part of the dinner was the noise. At times you almost had to yell to be heard across the table."

"We went to Don Giovanni for pre-theatre dinner. We did not expect to encounter wonderful service (finally waiters who don't address you as "you guys" but instead use "Miss" and "Sir" and understand that what they have to say doesn't take precedence over your conversation with your companion. We didn't expect food so well prepared and balanced that each nuance of flavor soothed your taste buds and excited your palate. My husband and I had the Carpaccio, (not overdressed so you could actually taste the flavor of the raw beef), Caesar Salad for Two with real anchovies (not paste), the Veal Saltimbocca split (the chef plated it on two plates) and the homemade Tiramisu! Fabulous!!!"

"How can you not love a restaurant where the Chef visits every table to make sure you know what the specials are and if you're enjoying his creations? Lorenzo from Venice knows his Italian! Don Giovanni's is always dependable and love the atmosphere. The food is always great and the service perfect!

"I was looking for a romantic Italian restaurant to take my girlfriend to. We were really happy with Don Giovanni. The mussels that she got in her linguini were excellent and tasted really fresh. I got eggplant parmesan and was happy with the texture and taste. we also got a crabcake appetizer, which meaty and just firm enough, but not too hard. Warm fresh bread with a tasty olive oil dip was a bonus. It's not super quiet (but also not too noisy) or dimly lit, but its still a nice place for a date. I recommend it!"

Quiet

"Wonderful food, great atmosphere. Two friends and I spent two hours there and were never made to feel we were a burden. Although things were fairly quiet, many restaurants would be urging you to move along. They allowed us to enjoy our continued chat after meal and coffee, but were never far away if we had any needs. Will definitely return next time I'm feeling like Italian food!"
