I’ve heard that Gios and Roberto’s are both same owners as Giovanni’s, and that Gios is the best of the bunch. Never been there or to Roberto’s, but have given Giovanni’s several tries, and think they are way overrated. Ketchup-forward is my description of their red sauce. Flavorless grease shingles is my description of their pizza. Garlic knots look wonderful, but have never had them served hot….always hard and stale tasting and even the warm brush of garlic butter can’t save them. I know they are popular, but I don’t get what all the fuss is about.
The best Italian we’ve had down here is Francesco’s.
