It's a great little restaurant and the quality has never changed since they opened several years ago. BUT, another one you cannot get into during the "season", so we wait until things quieten down.

It's a very busy little restaurant in Southern Trace Plaza on CR 466.

Giovanni's is a very quaint, very small, Italian restaurant several stores past Publix in the small mall off 466. I believe it is an Italian run family restaurant.
If you come from South, take B.Vista going north, all the way down to the traffic light at 466, cross 466 onto 101 and take either of the immediate two rights into the Publix shopping area.

We went last night, a Friday night at 6:30. We only had a twenty minute wait! Table for two. I don't think anybody waited past 30 minutes.

We went to Giovanni's twice. The first time was great, the second not good at all. I look for consistency. Haven't been back.

Had Giovanni's for the first time last week-was fantastic. Had what they called Luingini Marchearo, all the seafood was perfect, even the calamari.

What you have to realize is that there is consistency in inconsistency. That's how I play golf. Consistently inconsistent.

I thought it was a nasty place. dirty floors and walls and I was afraid to look in the kitchen.

This is the type of input which I find more valuable than someone's opinion of the food. Is the restaurant clean? Is the service good? Granted, there can be a bit of variability even in answers to those questions (How clean is clean? Is waiting for 15 minutes for a server to appear acceptable to you?, etc.), but I have found significant variability in opinions on food which appear to be based upon personal previous experiences with the cuisine. We have relatives who love Giovanni's, and when we have been there (it has been a while), the service was good, the restaurant was clean (restrooms can tell you a story or two about the upkeep!), but in our OPINION the food was unremarkable. This doesn't make anyone else wrong, it just means that we choose to look elsewhere. And yes, it leaves more open tables for those of you who enjoy the restaurant!
