The original owner has emerged happily along with his wife and two daughters as of 2010. We welcome back all our loyal old customers and of course our many new ones. Many thanks for bringing back all your old memories and sharing them with us, and also creating new ones.
Giovanni I cannot give Giovanni's 5 stars. The best thing they have going for them is the sauce. If you order the original pizza there is VERY little cheese. You have to pay more for a decent amount of cheese. And more per topping. The crust is VERY thin, and very hard. The breadsticks were almost inedible. No butter, no cheese- just TOUGH dough rolled out. For the price- find another place.
Giovanni is child friendly My daughter loves this place,every-time she is asked where she wants to eat she says Giovanni's.Her favorite is the hot cocoa and the bread.She is 11 years old now with pretty good manners,but this is a place we've been coming to since she was about three and we felt like if she could be glued to the chairs we would.But they always provided us with great service regardless of our situation
A Berkeley Classic Giovanni is a classic in Berkeley. From my 1st year at Cal until now, I enjoy eating at this place. My favorite plate is the Italian Duet. The setting has an old time feel, however the crowd varies from students to singles and families. This place is a must when in Berkeley.
Great Pizza Giovanni's has great pizza and many toppings to choose from. The dining experience is very enjoyable too. I especially like their meat combination pizza. Their crust really adds to the flavor experience.
Good bread Their pizzas are very good, but I think their pastas are a little too rich and heavy. Funny thing is my favorite thing there is their focaccia bread and it's free!
getting worse with time – My boyfriend & I have been coming here for years. It started off as a fairly good restaurant, but lately the food has gotten consistently worse. The service is fine, but anything we ordered was substandard for the prices they charge. On our last visit (last ever!!!) my boyfriend got sick from his meal. If you go here, it should be for the bar, which serves great drinks. Pass on the food!!!
My most missed memory of home! I absolutely love Cafe Giovanni! After moving away 8 years ago Giovanni's is the one restaurant I visit every single time I come home (usually twice a year)! The gnocchi is amazing! The staff is always friendly. Giovanni's is perfect for a date! It's cozy and romantic, especially when the fires lit!
absolutely disgusting – First off, I would like to say that I eat out regularly, and I have never posted a review online before. I started an account with citysearch just to post this review. This restaurant is absolutely terrible. If the prices had been more reasonable I would have just written it off as a bad dining experience, but unfortunately that is not the case here. I ordered the Jambalaya calzone for $16.00. The presentation was non-existent and the ingredients seemed to be well beyond their expiration date. I don't... read more
