Their entrées are fairly good, unfortunately, I can’t do their pizza based on how they promote it. They promote their pizza as New York Style, however, that’s not the case. It’s very doughy, and cheese is very greasy.True New York Style is thin, crispy, and cheese is real cheese and not processed so it isn’t greasy. My expectations were high, but was let down. Perhaps, a little bit is on my expectation of what I know to be true NYC style lie.

Just the perfect Italian restaurant with a great staff. Can handle large groups with ease. Worth the drive from Tyler, TX

Unbelievable. I am from Bklyn where you get the world's best Italian food, and Giovanni's can hang with almost any restaurant in the N.Y.C.

Stopped in while my friends went next door to eat Mexican food. The food was amazing. If I ever pass through this town again, I would definitely eat here again. It was very clean and the service was good. Wish I didn’t live 5 hours away.

I placed an order online through Slice for curbside but when I got there and called to check in I was told they don't do curbside even though the website says they do. I ordered an entree which according to the website says it comes with a salad. I didn't receive a salad so had to go back in. The manager or owner greeted me and said apparently website is wrong it didn't come with a salad. You'd think a $13 pasta entree would come with a salad. He ended up giving me one and apologized. Alfredo sauce was good that's about the only thing positive I can say because the chicken in it should be grilled. This was boiled and I had to spit pieces of it out. I won't be back.

Had dinner here with the family, including lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo, and fried mushrooms. All was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant.

We had a nice meal following a hike. Service was prompt and friendly. We all enjoyed our meals. We had shrimp ravioli, the trio plate, and chicken alfredo which were all tasty. We started our meal with fried cheese sticks and complimentary garlic rolls which were also good.

Very good! I had a to-go pizza and it was amazing!! I’m excited to try indoor dining very soon.

We popped up with a very large group this past Sunday. Giovanni's was able to accommodate us with seating quickly and happy to do so. Our order was taken quickly, our food arrived quickly, our orders were correct, and the food was amazing! Even though our group can be a little difficult and always loud, the hospitality was top notch and never slipped. I highly recommend!

Simply wonderful. Great atmosphere and superb cuisine. Anderson county Top 3 establishment.
