Giovanni's Ristorante

Excellent pizza. The service is superb. The place is very cozy. We have been twice and would go back again in a heart beat. I am not that fond of pizza so it needs to be good to get me to review it. On Sundays and Mondays it is pizza only offerings and you can buy one pizza get the second at half off.

My wife and I went to Giovanni to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday and were really looking forward to a great evening and meal. We had been in their pizzeria a few times and really enjoyed their products. This time, after reading an article in the local paper, decided to try the restaurant. Our server advised that one of their special was the lobster fettuccine, which had also been mentioned in the newspaper article. We both decided to order that. After the very attentive server had brought us the appetizers we had also ordered, he presented the main dish. A plate of fettuccine with a creamy white sauce topped by a small lobster tail. At first I did not notice the difference between my wife's and mine. My tail was sweet and with a firm texture , as you would expect. My wife's on the other hand, was "mushy"..... After a few minutes she expressed her disappointment and when the server came around she explained her issue. The server apologized and, although, he was not sure of the actual problem, he said he would bring a new lobster tail. Never mind that in the meantime, her fettuccine were getting cold, the biggest disappointment came when the new tail was EQUALLY as bad as the first one. My wife did not eat her meal and the server did not charge for it. Aside from a disappointing evening of what was to be a celebration, our main concern is that clearly the cook did not actually take the time to ensure the replacement tail was good. I understand that a small restaurant like Giovanni, cannot afford to have live lobsters BUT at the very least they should ensure that the frozen tail they use come from a reputable supplier and when they see how the tail is after been cooked and ready to be placed on their main course, they should abstain from using it. Considered this was/is one their feature dish, they should pay a bit more attention to the product they serve. 2 bad tails out of 3? Definitely NOT acceptable! As the service was great, we did not penalize the waiter......just left disappointed. Visited July 2017
