    We went to Giovanni’s to celebrate my son’s birthday. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The lobster ravioli was special. We will definitely be returning!

    Found it to be overpriced and small portions. My fish was tiny but good. She had a disappointing Caesar salad. Everything was subpar and really expensive. Could not reconcile the hype vs reality. Was dead for lunch even if across from Vandy on grad day for graduate students.

    The food is delicious (love the gnocchi) and the wait staff and cocktails are outstanding! I’ve been to Nashville twice in the last year and have made it a point to eat at this restaurant!
