Hmmm. We just saw them open last week when we went to the King Fu Chef next door. A worker was sitting outside on the bench smoking, and the restaurant looked empty.

I never understood the fuss about Giovanni’s. We gave it a few tries and I thought their food was forgettable. Sauce (or gravy if you’re old school) was “ketchup-forward”, the garlic knots looked good, but were always cold and stale even with a brush of melted butter, and I’d rather have a frozen grocery store pizza than what they served. Mediocrity on a plate.
