  Thank you to Giovanni and Janet & all the staff who made our evening out special.
  
  We were a party of 8. I made a reservation (leaving a deposit). You have to ask to make a rezzie; someone (G) will call you to confirm what you need and have you leave a deposit.
  
  We were able to order off the menu. The meatballs (appetizer) are just as previous reviews said-perfection. (I ordered the first rate lasagna the previous time I came here, trust me, it's great.) Tonight we had 3 salads: mixed greens, beet, and Italian. A couple orders of veal: I believe the winner of the 2 was the scallopini. Spaghetti and meatballs. 2 penne a la vodka, one with shrimp. Spinach tagliatelle with rosemary chicken, and 2 orders of the special tonight-the pork chop. Holy cow, that pork chop. I would kill to know the secret on that. You know how when you sometimes have a filet mignon that's like butter? That was this pork chop. Ah-mazing. Seriously, it was fantastic.
  
  For dessert we had tiramisu, tartufo, and almond cake. Espressos & a brandy. The almond cake won in my book!
  
  Everyone who works there is friendly. You honestly feel like you're at a friend's grandma's house for Sunday dinner.
  
  There are a bazillion Italian restaurants in Brooklyn. I was looking for a decent place to host a group. I came here last week for the first time to test the waters and it was delightful. Tonight, tho, wow! Thank you so, so much for a wonderful evening.

  Still sitting at the bar - decided to walk in after passing it a million times on my way to work.
  Had a quick bite of calamari and a crisp, glass of wine. The restaurant is currently quiet
  Just ordered an app of meatballs - the bartender is lovely . Great recommendations.
  Will return - it appears that this place would be a great dinner spot!

  This place is definitely kid friendly and has a decent menu for toddlers. It is just a regular average italian restaurant - we got a beet salad, calamari, a few glasses of chianti, chicken parm with spaghetti, penne alla vodka, and spaghetti with meatballs. It was decent but nothing exceptional!  Just good all reliable italian joint in the hood. You get a lot of neighbors coming through and it is a place where people know each other.
  
  It just average italian food - I didnt witness anything amazing with the sunday sauce either!

  We order delivery very often from Giovanni's Brooklyn Eats and they don't  disappoint (I've also eaten in here but not recently).  There are several excellent food items to choose from -I usually order the calamari and the salmon.  The food comes hot and when they say it will - very good experiences

  Came here for brunch! Wow!!! The food is amazing! We ordered unlimited mimosas which kept on coming. The food was phenomenal I just wish when they served the bread that they asked if we wanted our bread hot or cold. But overall GREAT service. I ended up going on a Saturday afternoon around 1 and it was only us and another group of 4 so it wasn't too crowded. If you want a nice brunch sit down...check this place out
