Giovanni's

The Service was Terrible and The wait time was really bad. The food was Good, but they where really understaffed and overwhelmed. It was a really bad look. It took 1 hour for an appetizer and 2 and half for our main course.

Not knowing that this is the place where I lost my wallet, I called them yesterday morning, just in case they have it. They called back in a few minutes and the lady said, "we have it". Aside from good food, they offer honest service to their customers. Chayo found it in one of the benches and kept it for safekeeping. Dropped my wallet on a Monday and got it Wednesday. I thank you!! God bless this restaurant and all its staff!!

Horrible restaurant.<br>Owner is rude!<br>Manager is rude!<br>Food is mid. Spent soo much money for your average grocery store box pasta and jarred sauce.<br>And to add to it. Roaches running around....<br>Ill NEVER eat here again!

The father of my child, as a nice gesture, decided to buy me and our daughter Giovanni’s for Valentines Day 2026. He got us chicken parm, meatballs and chicken franchise. We also got penne a la vodka on the side. The only positive is that everything was cooked perfectly. However, cooking is not just about cooking things throughly, it’s also about taste. Everything purchased tasted bland. The meatballs were absolutely terrible and had no flavor. The chicken parm was one of the most flavorless chicken parm’s I’ve ever had in my life. Chicken franchise tasted watered down and also had no flavor. While everything was cooked well, everything tasted horrible and was difficult to eat due to the lack of flavor. I would never buy entrees from this restaurant and just stick to pizza. The staff needs to be trained on how to use seasoning when cooking. I’m sure he spent about $50-60 on all of that food and more than half of it went in the trash.

Awesome place. I just feel so lonesome in a place that is full of people.

UPDATE!!! STAY AWAY!!! THIS PLACE HAS ROACHES/ WATERBUGS & STAFF/ MANAGEMENT DOES NOT CARE!!!!<br><br>I've been a customer for years and as of late, the slices are over cooked/ burnt, and are much smaller than a few months ago. It's definitely not currently worth over $4

He’s very rude and don’t appreciate his service. Definitely won’t be back because of him. As i was sitting there waiting for my food, i was paying attention to how he spoke to other’s & i don’t understand how the owner’s or manger’s haven’t noticed his service.

Miguel was amazing he was very attentive and even on the passing always made sure my family and I were taken care of, when you come ask for Miguel and I promise his as your waiter will enhance your Giovanni’s experience.

It was crowded when I entered but the staff was moving fast and very attentive. They knew exactly who was next and was engaging with customers. I hit two pepperoni slices it was great although a little pricey $11.15. They have tap pay available now which I love. The only thing that I didn’t like about my experience here is that the person walked away with my receipt. Didn’t ask me if I want it. Just took it and walked away…very off putting. I don’t like this new culture of not giving people their receipt!

Amanda was such a good server but I use to come here years ago a lot has changed the sangria isn’t the same there was no happy hour when I went the only good thing was the food and the service I was looking for some of the drinks they previously had and they switched up there whole menu I don’t think I will ever be returning here again

The pizzeria part of this place is just how you would expect it to be. I have to say it looks clean and well kept. The staff is friendly enough. However the food is where I have an issue with it. The flavors weren’t the best, the portions are decent sized. The price are high for a pizzeria. They charging 19.00 for an appetizer of fried calamari seems a little high. If they at least were good I wouldn’t mind. But they were bland. Marinera sauce taste as if it was from a bottle of a brand that is not even good. Also I ordered a beer they charge me 7.00 a little expensive. My coworker asked for a can Pepsi and she was charged 3.00. This place is not affordable at all. Everything on their menu is in double digits, except for a slice of pizza. Not a place I would want to go for an affordable lunch. 30 plus dollar for an appetizer and a drink is not affordable. Overall not a place that I would recommend.

First time ordering from this restaurant and I enjoyed it! My boyfriend who has ate from this restaurant raves about their food. Very rare to find good pizza in the Bronx. We decided to go with pasta and chicken for our delivery. I ordered a dish I never had tried the<br>Chicken Francese…it was delicious! The pasta was cooked and seasoned so well and the chicken was fluffy and very juicy! My boyfriend chose to get chicken parmesan and asked to get penne pasta and instead got spaghetti. Unfortunately he didn’t like the pasta and only ate the chicken :/ also I love when Italian bread is given but sadly ours was partially drenched in oil and wasn’t edible anymore. I would still like to order pizza from here one day though.

I have passed this restaurant so many times before a friend invited me to lunch. I loved the food and the atmosphere. They have a great bar area and an upstairs sitting area. They have a generous parking lot across the street from the restaurant on 150th Street. Just as a note of interest, the restaurant is ten minutes from Yankee Stadium, if you are looking for a great restaurant before the game.

Italian food is another one of my favorites. Whenever I’m in the area I at least stop by for a slice of pizza. Their pizza is really delicious along with their pasta. Be careful when the pizza comes out of the oven as it is extremely hot. Most time I ask them not to make it so hot because I can’t wait to eat it. There is a seating area to consume your food. There is also seating for indoor dining. The service is fast and again the food is delicious. The staff are professional and friendly. There is a bar located downstairs where they play music, nice vibe to the place. The restaurant accepts cash and card for payment. They even deliver. There are restrooms located upstairs and downstairs. Give this place a try I’m sure you’ll like it.

This is a place I've been before. Where I been to the brunch a few times. And it was good. This time came for a bite to eat after the movies. Was seated right away. Next to the G Bar. Music was playing which was fine with me. I really enjoy the food here. Never disappointed with the food I ordered. Decor could be a little better. I have shrimp scampi, Along with a frozen drink called Jamaican punch.
