    Most rude hostess I’ve encountered in years. Food is good but don’t match the prices. The size of the appetizers was quite small for the price.

    We sat downstairs where it was nice, quiet and romantic. It was a perfect date night. Phenomenal service and food. We were trying to figure out what to do afterwards and one of the gentlemen gave us a list of places to go.

    What an A+ dining experience! Service was incredibly attentive (wiping down the table after each course, refilling water, etc.), and the food was amazing. Octopus, elk bolognese, pizza, tiramisu, they were all delicious. Jovanina’s is a wonderful restaurant!

    Overall lovely dining experience. Really like their open dining room lit with candles. Great mocktail menu for those of us trying to cut back. Pasta dishes and pizzas the most extensive. Not many salad offerings.

    Went for our anniversary and we’re excited to try this spot as big foodies. Everything we ordered was below average. So many better options downtown - would not recommend.

    One of our pet peeves is when parties of two are sat so closely together you’re on top of the parties around you. The food was mediocre and everything could have used more salt during preparation. The best thing on the menu is the tuna appetizer- that was unique and delicious. Everything else was super underwhelming
