What a nice experience at Don Giovanni’s… we happened to eat here the day after Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving day John the owner and his son as well as their staff hosted Thanksgiving dinner for 1500 people. John puts out a notice to the community and anyone who wants/needs a Thanksgiving meal can just show up at the door and they will be greeted, seated and served!! John has been doing this for 31 years as a means to give back to the community!! Everyone has a special / wonderful time and well fed! My wife and I have always enjoyed Don Giovanni’s but had no idea that the restaurant provides this level of care to the community. Thank you 🙏

Food was way too salty. We haven’t been here for years and this used to be the best Italian restaurant in the Mountain View / Sunnyvale area. It’s unfortunately so different now than what we remembered it to be a few years ago.

Delicious food, great service provided by Abraham. We celebrated a dear friends birthday and there were 6 of us. We were seated at a round table in the corner of the restaurant by the window and it was perfect. The appetizers of barrata and brussel sprouts were yummy. Our entrees were tasty and hot and the salads were fresh and had lots of flavor. Highly recommend
