    Great service, and always a special evening at Giovanni's. Thank you for being a restaurant with an elevated experience in Ottawa. Food was fantastic and even on a busy Saturday night the service was outstanding.

    Very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Despite indicating it was my father's birthday, they did nothing to acknowledge it. The cherry on top was charging us $18 for water and never indicating that there was a cost involved. If you're looking for Italian restaurants in Ottawa, there are a much better places to go that won't rip you off.

    Exquisite dinning experience! From Marcello’s warm greeting and ´aurevoirs’, to the attentive service, the excellent food/wines, the cozy atmosphere. Superb evening at Giovanni’s! It has become a most favourite haunt for Italian fare bar none!
