   Food was great and the service was even better! we tried different things on the menu and were surprised at their wine and port selections.

   The lasagna, cavatelli and gnocchi dishes were excellent. The ambience is beautiful. The server was attentive, and with the help of the chef, provided us with more details about how the entree’s were made.

   My husband and I went to Giovanna for our anniversary. We had an amazing experience. The entire staff were so welcoming and helped us celebrate our anniversary. The food was delicious. We had stuffed olives, arancini, chicken Parmesan, and gnocchi. Every bite was flavorful and exquisite. We will definitely be back.

   This was our first time coming to this restaurant and we were very impressed with the food.  The ambience was also great. Great wait staff. We will definitely be coming back. It’s nice to see a very good Italian restaurant in the area.

   Had a birthday dinner there and was the only table in the restaurant which felt a little odd and vibes were off. Felt like they didn’t really want us there. Food was pretty good but very salty all around, highlights were the starters for sure. Service was good but some of our group was told they were going to send a birthday dessert to the table for the birthday girl and was a little disappointed they didn’t. Felt like a missed opportunity since we were the only people in the restaurant all night and food was a little expensive for what it was.

   Nice area with several new restaurants and free valet. Pretty dining room. Great service. Pesto gnocchi was good, but not great. Hazelnut gelato was tasty, but slightly grainy.

   The service was great everything was quick except getting the bill (our server became the bartender) which took over 30 minutes. The food on the other hand was hit or miss. Appetizers Arancini - Good, not great Meatballs - Pass, weak flavor Caesar Salad - Pass, it is so odd and salty. Not like any Caesar I've ever had. Mains Papparadelle with Wild Mushrooms - Good/missing something. Plating it was a mess and vaguely looked like dog food. Lasagna - Good Pizza with Prosciutto and Hot Honey - Ok, not a strong flavor except the honey Dessert Fior di Latte Gelato - Pass, it was gritty. Definitely not the "flower of milk". There was some type of bitter caramel on it. Unpleasant to be honest. Espresso - Good See pictures for reference. The atmosphere was OK until a large group came in and it became very loud. Parking is a struggle. It is very limited.
