Great place for small group celebration. The food is ok if you like Italian food (I am not so much, generally is too sour). Place is a little bit narrow but the staff are great.
Best Italian food in all of Brooklyn this menu was at 2 previous restaurant's and has a history of over 50 years. Originally it was Carolinas in Coney Island then Fiorintino's on Ave U. Fiorintino's closed after 30 years due to the fact that owners wanted to retire. A waiter named Charlie from there opened up Giovanni's and hired the chefs as well as a few waiters. And that great tasting good experience lives on. The very best baked clams a zuppa di red clams as well as the mozzarella and correza. Everything on the dinner menu is delicious in my opinion the very best veal parm every. This is truly an Italian experience at affordable prices.
We eat there at least once every couple of months . Close to home and never a wait . We had the fried calamari. It was delicious . Ordered the eggplant parmigiana. It was a large portion and I had to take it home . My family orders the pork chops and they said it was very tender and the chicken parmigiana was devoured even before I was able to taste it . The owner and the waiters are very attentive and want to make you happy ! So glad this restaurant opened in my neighborhood!
Drove into Brooklyn with our family and some friends to go to L &B Spumoni Gardens, but the wait was atleast an hour. We then googled restaurants near by and we came across Giovanni. We called and they could not get us in. A little while later, my phone rang and it was the manager!! They were able to fit us in!! What great service! The food was INCREDIBLE! The staff was great, very nice and extremely hard working. I ordered the shrimp scampi and it was fantastic. My husband had a seafood special and it was overflowing on the plate. My son had the scampi too, just delicious. The fried calamari appetizer was huge and crispy. We will definitely return again. I highly recommend this restaurant .
We just had a delicious meal here for two. Under 60 bucks! Huge portions, too. We had plenty of leftovers. The owner was lovely. They are doing hookah now too. Will definitely be back.
One of my Favorite places. The owners used to be with Fieurintinos Restaurant and they carried over the best of the menu. The Baked clams are yummmm best ever. the sauces are just right for the dishes. The owner greeter Charlie is there the greet and mask you feel at home...Prices are moderate for the quality. Atmosphere is a bit dull but thankfully not overly noisy.. Go eat enjoy

Delicious food and gracious staff. We just found thus restaurant and will definitely return soon. I love that Giovanni's has adopted the staff and delicious menu from our lifetime favorite, the now closed Fiorentino's.
I highly recommended this restaurant. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and they go out of their way to make sure you are completely satisfied. They have a beautiful bar. The owner is always there to make sure that your visit is a pleasant one.
Went there today with my family and everything was delicious except for the fried calamari. Very crispy but too tough. The wait staff was very attentive and pleasant. I will definitely be going back
