We have not ordered anything from them in probably 15 or more years but did enjoy KungFu Chef. Went to KungFu Chef for my 2-24 birthday lunch with family.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese restaurant expands into this now open space. KungFu China has great food but only a dozen or so tables inside.

I actually spoke to the original owner. She said they are taking back the business. That the new people ran it into the ground and she was overwhelmed in getting it back to operating orders.

if thats happening its time for corporate musical chairs. Fun part of watching a movie at the end credits is counting the myriad of dummy shell corporations created to avoid prosecution for anything civil in nature , sorry alec, usually get up to 10 or better

Hmm, I thought, Not that clean. Returning to my seat I then thoroughly enjoyed one of the best Italian meals I’ve had. The cooking was great - the ambience and facilities not so much. Subsequently I’ve gone to events catered by them. Again great. Pizza great. Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.
Have you tried Roberto's in Pinellas Plaza, it is better than Giovanni's.

I hope so. It's sad to see any business go under. They made the best pizza.

Ate at Giovannis years ago. Never impressed. I felt it was Eye-Talian food for people west of the Hudson River

I actually hold dual Italian citizenship, and i would disagree with that. It’s not a meal from a small cafe in rome, but it’s not fake Italian.

I had business today at the establishment next door to the old Giovanni’s. I inquired as to what’s happening next door. Their answer….Previous owners wanted to return but The Villages said ‘not available’. Why? They didnt know. My guess…KungFu expansion. Present physical status…large sign over the entrance gone, hand written note on the door said ‘closed’.

There has been sooooo many comments , statements ,possible rumors etc. I wish the original owners would post a statement with facts so we would know what to expect. We miss it so much & keep hoping we get it back to what we had since the original opening
