For the kind of person who plays with fire, knowing they might get burnt.
Great food, dodgy kitchen. You know the risks. Pack Imodium and pray.
Giovannis is like that charming Italian uncle who’s a bit rough around the edges but serves the best pasta in town. The food here is delightful, with a menu that’s flexible enough to mix your pasta and sauce as you please. However, the hygiene score of 2/5 is like a bad aftertaste—great food but maybe too many health risks to overlook.
You might be treated to a lovely meal with delicious flavors, but if you’re unlucky enough to encounter the surly server, your experience might take a nosedive. Portion sizes might leave you craving more, but the homemade desserts are a sweet redemption. Just remember, don’t count on a warm welcome if you happen to catch the wrong staff member on a bad day.
"A friendly welcome and deliciously authentic Italian food makes this a real gem."
"The food was delicious, plenty of options on the menu."
"My sea bass was excellent. My wife enjoyed the spaghetti."
