We were in the mood for chicken parmigiana and pizza…and this place did NOT disappoint! Service was great from the start! Warm garlic bread with whipped garlic butter! Kids loved their spaghetti and huge meatball! Portions were heavy! Pizza tasted like back home (NY). Appreciate good Italian restaurants like these! We’ll be back!

Our server today was Chris, and he was truly amazing. We visited as a family for the first time, and he was incredibly patient and attentive throughout our meal. We loved that everything was made fresh. We ordered the trio, a custom pizza, the chocolate cake, and the soup of the day. The soup especially surprised us—in the best way!
The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food, and overall we had a wonderful experience. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

Our server Savannah was fabulous. Very attentive and respectful. She checked on us several times throughout our dining. The Hawaiian pizza was exceptional. I would prefer the garlic knots as the house bread served as opposed to the small loaf. Thank you. First time at this establishment. Keep smiling Savannah. Very sweet young lady.

Oh my! We found this restaurant because its right next to our hotel, it was raining, and we didn’t want to drive somewhere….. What a great place! From the beginning bread with whipped garlic (sweet) butter, to pizza and spaghetti, all the way to the orange cheesecake….everything was prepared to perfection with quality ingredients. Don’t pass this restaurant…. Stop and stay awhile!

Delicious food!! We ordered bruschetta as an appetizer, which was delicious, and the bread was incredibly soft. For the entrée, we have stuffed Italian pizza, absolutely delightful. The service was great! My only complaint was the cleanliness of the ladies’ restroom.

I have no idea how this place has 4 stars. The last few years have really gone downhill. While I understand the prices going up, I don’t understand how the portion size and quality have plummeted. The other day I ordered a pizza with spinach and there were four little spinach leaves on the pizza. Mind you the toppings are 2.00 each!!! Today I ordered pasta and my fettuccine Alfredo was dryer than the Sahara desert. I might as well have gone to Publix and got a can of Alfredo sauce to put on the dish. So bland and no flavor it’s disappointing. The management is terrible, the general manager basically forces his staff to quit by cutting hours because “they don’t get enough reviews”. This results in new employees who are poorly trained and don’t know what they are doing. Manager needs to be held accountable for how terrible this restaurant has become. If they don’t do anything to turn this around soon, I’m sure they’ll feel it once this area is fully developed and customers have better options down Lake Nona Blvd. Do better.

Me and my sister were looking for a good place to eat for lunch. We discovered Giovanni’s and it was the best option we could have asked for. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was spectacular. Our server, Ellie, made sure that we felt welcomed and heard in the restaurant. I asked what she recommends and ended up getting a Caesar Salad, a Chicken Marsala meal, and Cheesecake for dessert. Again, Ellie outdid herself and should be recognized for her hard work towards her customers. We will most definitely be returning and telling others about this place!

I have been a customer of this place for approximately two years, I love their food, but I always went on Tuesdays or Wednesdays after my work, and there were days when the pizza was better than other days, but for a few weeks now I have been having lunch on Sundays and it is always wonderful, the best pizza on Sundays.
The last time Savannah welcomed me and her service was wonderful, and the pizza was the best I have ever eaten, I will always return on Sundays, I hope to see you again Savannah

Great stop for local food and comfort Italian. Menu of pizza and pasta has so many different options. Gluten pizza crust option available too. Service was friendly and fast. Pasta dishes came out quick, pizza took longer. But the pizza and sauce have such an authentic and homemade flavor. So yummy!
