Always such a treat. With a warm smile and hug or handshake Carl and Pierre greet you as you enter, reminding you this is family. The attentive service continues with quick, prompt attention from several of the wait staff. The food is consistently the best in Cleveland. Veal is my favorite, but dont miss any of the homemade pasta dishes either. For a treat the freshly flown in Dover sole never disappoints and the rib steak is amazing. Finish with a special dessert prepared table-side (bananas foster or cherries flambe) or creme brule or tiramisu off the regular dessert menu.

Our server Taylor was great. He was totally on it. Pierre came to our table to make sure we were all happy. The veal chop was amazing. The drinks were great. We went for my Girlfriends birthday and they treated her like a queen.

We have eaten at Giovanni’s many times and were pleased with the food and service. Unfortunately we were very disappointed last night.Our party of four all ordered appetizers. Three ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and the other ordered Lobster Bisque. The Oysters were served and were delicious. After 10 minutes we asked about the Bisque, it was forgotten. My entree included scallops which were cold. I ordered a Gin and Tonic, lacking Tonic. The bill was brought to our table by the trainee, not buy our waiter. The prices went up, the quality went down.
