    We normally eat in the bar area and really enjoy it. Last night we went for the clam bake and were seated in the main dining room. I had forgotten how beautiful and elegant it was. The table settings glistened from the little table lamps and everything was set to perfection. The clam bake was the best ever; the evening was perfect!

    It’s always a pleasure to dine at Giovanni’s Restaurant where we’ve been coming for the fine cuisine for many years. Pierre is always in charge with his decades of experience and enjoys the conversations with the clientele. Michael is a very attentive waiter and provides excellent service. Zack and his associates in the kitchen source the finest ingredients and prepare them with skill. It’s truly a magnificent experience.

    Ate at the bar, Joe was a superb bartender as always. We had the Q bolognaise and the chicken parmigiana. Along with sharing a Caesar salad. A very enjoyable evening.
