“Very good Italian food! The customer service was amazing. Thank you for the great spinach pasta recommendation for my marathon carb load🙏🗽 I will most definitely return next time I'm in town!”
“There is true hospitality here. Dino the don and Giovanni is the dad and they do everything right here: the food is quality ingredients and I say this because you can taste it. My montipulchiano wine and Sardinian wine were top tier like when I go back to Italy to visit my cousins. The frito misto was amazing. Light and tasty. Good mix. Actually outstanding just like the table salad. Best I ever had. The fried zucchini flowers were so yummy like zeppoli almost. The vegetarian lasagna was the best I ever had in a restaurant. Seriously. The pasta was homemade and every layer was separate and well executed. Good pesto. The housemade squid ink pasta ravioli stuffed with lobster outstanding. Thh lobster was fresh. The lemon cello cake was the best dessert of my year. Live music. Friday and sat. We heard a great New Orleans band and got to hear Giovanni singing. What a treat. Packed out the door with people.”
“The best chicken parm. The Tuesday special is one that I’d come back to Brooklyn for. Incredible ambiance, the staff was great especially the sous servers cleaning up our plates shoutout to them for being so on top of it. Loved everything about this experience. If I’m ever back in town I’d love to bring a bigger group.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience at Giovanni’s Brooklyn Eats! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming the perfect blend of cozy and classic Brooklyn charm. The service was exceptional; everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food? Incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor from the lobster pasta with fresh mussels to the pistachio cream puffs that were out of this world. We paired it with a lovely Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva that complemented the meal perfectly. If you’re looking for a true hidden gem in Brooklyn with amazing food, amazing service, and a genuinely inviting vibe, Giovanni’s is the place to go. Can’t wait to come back!”
“What a great local experience in Brooklyn! Staff squeezed us in last minute and I’m so happy they did. Live music, families chatting and laughing together while servers whisked around the room with plates of home cooked Italian American staples. It’s like the Brooklyn Italian restaurant this see on tv or in a movie. Verdict: would return and recommend!!”
