This is for the folks who don't know good Italian. I just know what tastes yummy. Stavros is not fancy, but the servers have all been there for years and years and are very nice. I hate the salad...it is Greek and I don't like it but the meat sauce served at Stavros is deeee lish a mus.

GG: The best Italian meat sauce I ever had was from one of the best Italian cooks ever, my mother. Italian sauce is an Italian's lifeblood.
The best veal scaloppine I ever had was at a restaurant in my home town called the Italian Rex (now Lasca's). Even my mother raved about this woman's cooking. What a treat this restaurant was until her husband got middle age crazy and flew the coop with a young waitress causing the restaurant to fold. I was a young kid when this happened and I still hate that guy for denying my hometown this wonderful chef and restaurant.
In my view Giovanni's presents a decent meal. I believe he does so because he emigrated from Naples and so when he calls his restaurant an Italian restaurant it rings true. too many call themselves Italian and all they do is apply Italian ingredients to food and any ethnic cooking is more than ingredients, its attitude..its like my mother would say "can't you hear that pasta dough speaking to me knead me more if you want your gnocchi to turn out well" and don't forget to rice the potatoes
