service, delicieux plats surtout frais, un staff chaleureux, depuis deux ans. la c est completement linverse. la derniere fois quand y étais(la semaine passée), cétait juste catastrophique je ne my attendait pas a cette qualité dalimentation. jai réserve, on a annulé ma reservesion, le gerant ne fait absolument rien pour sauver la situation, il senfoutait complétement, on a du attendre 20 min pour trouvé une place. apres on a commandait un plat de moule comme entrée la plus que la moitié
Food is fantastic, waiters are lovely, staff all around very caring and courteous. Have made this our family dinners when my parents come up to visit- never had a bad night or service here everything is fantastic!
Deserves 5 stars!
I recently met friends for Lunch and we were very pleased with the fresh pastas, well prepared salads, and friendly service. The white tablecloths and comfortable dining room created a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy our lunch. Highly recommended.
Osso Bucco which was fatty with a bland sauce, as well as seafood pasta which was suspiciously "fishy" tasting -and smelling - not usually evident in fresh fish/seafood. We then had to wait for our bill for another 15 minutes while our server was attentive to every other table but ours (at this point there were only two more tables of customers than when we had arrived). I'd hate to see what our wait times would have been like had the restaurant even been semi-full.

Billing itself as the best Italian restaurant in Ottawa, Giovanni assures its guests that time here will be well spent. Ideal for an important date or a romantic anniversary dinner, there is something on the menu for everyone here. A wide variety of scrumptious soups and appetizers will have guests throwing in the napkin before the main course even arrives.
View this Smart ListGiovanni’s excellent service, presentation of exquisitely traditional dishes, sophisticated interior decoration and extensive wine cellar are on the expensive side but unparalleled in the city. Pair one of the fancy soups like stracciatella (veal consommé with egg and parmesan cheese) with an assorted plate of veal parmesan, manicotti and lasagna. This kind of high-calibre dining experience wouldn’t be complete without some great wine and dessert like panna cotta or tiramisu to top it off.
