    This is truly one of Nashville's hidden gems. Legit Italian steakhouse with old school vibes, amazing food and fantastic service. Celebrated our anniversary there last night, and everything was great as always!

    With Chris on vacation, the restaurant ran with the precision and efficiency of a Swiss Watch! No make that a Swiss Watch worn by a German Soldier. No make that a Swiss Watch worn by a German Soldier driving a passenger train in Lichtenstein. No make that a Swiss Watch worn by a German Soldier driving a passenger train in Lichtenstein carrying parts to assemble a Mercedes Benz. No make that a Swiss Watch worn by a German Soldier driving a passenger train in Lichtenstein carrying parts to assemble a Mercedes Benz to be driven by Albert Einstein.... You get the point. Sometimes it takes a missing piece for clarity to arise and adjustments to be made. Last night was the best experience I not only ever had at Giovannis, but also the best experience I have ever had at any restaurant in the world! I'm sure Chris will be able to move on and find employment somewhere nice like Sean Brock's new Pizza joint....

    So worth it! The service was impeccable and the food was even better. We had the sausage ravioli and it may be the best ravioli I’ve ever had. We also had the cheese board. Everything was delicous!

    The food was above par, The service was not! The server had ZERO personality, could care less if we were there or not. Had to ask for menu. We were celebrating a birthday, they didn’t even ask. They did not clean the table off in between entree and dessert , we ordered dessert, but canceled it because of the experience. This place needs a huge overhaul. I can’t believe it’s rated #2 on Italian restaurants to dine at in Nashville.

    Another great experience! This is the best restaurant in Nashville for tasteful special occasions. The Maitre D Chris is the model for how guests should be treated. My family has been coming there for over 10 years and truly appreciate how special this restaurant is!!!👍

    Took my girlfriend on a date for our anniversary and the atmosphere was amazing service was great and I was really excited thinking this was a place to come back to but the food was not great and especially considering the price for what we got we started with the meatballs and Caprese and it was not bad and then I got the salmon and it tasted fishy and dry and my girlfriend ordered the ravioli with shrimp the ravioli was good but the shrimp was also over cooked we loved the piano and atmosphere maybe we just went on a bad night but sadly I don’t think we will go back with how the food tasted
