We cannot say enough about Giovanni and his staff. This quaint restaurant has amazing Italian food. We will definitely visit again next time we are in the area! The service was amazing as well, the entire team is on top of their game and the atmosphere is excellent.

incredibly fresh and clean food. An Italian restaurant that should not be overlooked. This place is the real deal. From the service to the preparation it’s all a plus. And the owner is very attentive to detail. The staff the waiters, all very professional and on top of the game. It’s some of the best seafood and Italian food Ihat we’ve had since visiting Miami from Los Angeles. Definitely an exceptional veal plate and linguine clams were exquisite.

Giovanni’s is truly a gem for Italian cuisine. The food is absolutely delicious, and everything we tried exceeded expectations. I highly recommend their guava flan – it’s hands down the best guava flan I’ve ever had in my life. The wine selection is also excellent, pairing perfectly with their dishes.
The food feels genuinely authentic, and another must-try is their risotto – without a doubt, the best risotto I’ve ever had anywhere (and we eat out quite often!). We also tried the churrasco pallardela, and it was incredibly good – cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
This restaurant has quickly become one of my favorites. A special mention to our servers, Petro and Norma, who were beyond attentive and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

Feb26 update: just had the best meal AGAIN here. The chicken cordon blue was fantastic along with everything else. Tonight it was about service, Andy and the boys really made our meal topnotch!. Im going up to 5 stars its rare for me so everyone enjoy.
Im from NYC and this lovely restaurant can deliver with some of the best in NYC. Great service and food was outstanding. Risotto was fresh and very flavorful. Veal and chicken dishes were presented and taste outstanding. The salads and soup round out the meal. Coffee and deserts a must. But the prices steal the show! One of the most reasonable priced meals around!

Wow! This food is remarkable! The flavors are amazing. I ordered the Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with the Caesar salad. The shrimp was cooked at a mouth-watering perfection! The salad was so fresh and probably the best salad I have had. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Very clean and comfortable atmosphere! If you want Italian fine dining at a reasonable price, I absolutely recommend this place! Will definitely return every time I visit Miami.

This is not Italian food. The bread isn’t Italian. The pasta isn’t Italian. The prosciutto isn’t prosciutto. The burrata is soggy and gross. The vodka sauce looks and tastes like someone forgot the recipe long ago and is now just doing whatever. They very clearly have no concept of what Italian food is or what it’s supposed to taste like or project. This is overpriced and completely fraudulent. It taste like what someone who has seen Italian food on tv or had it described to them thinks Italian food would be like, if they had to build it from scratch using pure imagination and zero culinary skill. The arrogance to even call this an Italian restaurant is baffling and could simply only happen in Miami or Hialeah. If you rebranded as Italian Cuban fusion or something like that, and lowered the prices to what your Latin cafeteria style nearby competitors charged maybe I wouldn’t feel the need to write this review
