I eat at Giovanni's frequently and I am always satisfied. Their salad dressings are homemade, as well as their soups. I think everything there is homemade, and if it isn't I can't tell.
I'm a vegetarian and they actually have a lot of options for me without anything sounding too out there. My favorite is the number 1, spaghetti con pomodoro. The vegetable pizza is also really delicious too.
Giovanni's is simple and comfortable, nothing is too fancy or complicated and that's what I really like about it. It's not like Pastini or the Spaghetti Factory, the servers are genuine and the food is always hot.
Giovanni's is classic but casual. This is the place for a family dinner or night out with friends.
The only con's about the restaurant is the interior. It's pretty outdated but it gives it a comforting charm. The owners are definitely trying to fix the place up though. A few years ago they painted the outside of the building dark red and got new signage for the front and side which makes it look a lot nicer.
Pros: Great pasta, great service
Cons: Outdated decor
