Giovanni's Pizzeria Kitchen - Lake Mary

Delicious. Nice, calm and quiet environment. Delicious food, with nothing bad to say. The nonna's specialties are what you should order without hesitation.I love places with a calm atmosphere and this is one of them.5

Fresh flavors, generous portions quaint ambianceThe garlic on everything is enough to keep me coming back for more! And that tomato sauce! Love that their sauces and dough are made in house. If you go, ask for Ann Marie(? she's awesome! Very friendly and helpful.

Giovanni 's is usually a nice place to go and eat and their food is good. Today 's meal included cheesy garlic bread, 10 pepperoni pizza and the chopped salad. The cheesy garlic bread was ok, it 's not a toasted type garlic bread, instead it is more like a fresh baked bread with melted cheese on top. The salad was ordered with light jalapenos and a side of the house Italian dressing. It comes standard with balsamic vinegar glaze. The salad came exactly as ordered and was very good! The pizza is a standard hand tossed pizza. Not too greasy from the pepperoni and the cheese and tomato sauce mixture was good. The pizza did not fall apart when bit nor did the toppings pull off in one bite, the slice stayed intact for the next bite. The flavor of the crust is lacking and the toppings are good but not great. I added garlic, parmesan cheese and oregano to give it more flavor.The service from our waitress Amy was very good. She took our order quickly, got our waters right away and put in our order of cheesy garlic bread ahead of our main order. She also checked on us throughout the meal, was well ahead with refills, and offered up the additional sprinkle flavorings before I asked. She had boxes ready for our leftovers and we didn 't have to wait long for our bill.In the past the waitresses have been hit or miss (one even forgot to put in our appetizer) but Amy did a fantastic job!The table was a little sticky when we sat down, more of a leftover from wiping it down. The 2 plates that were there for appetizers were dirty so we just didn 't use them. I think maybe the hostess should have noticed that when she sat us. On a positive note, the menus have finally been updated and reprinted (the old ones you could barely read). Unfortunately, with new menus come higher prices.Overall a good experience and better than a lot of restaurants these days. They do have a bar there but it is usually full with their older regulars. They seem to enjoy the place, so for the most part I believe they are fairly consistent with their food and service. Parking: Parking can be a challenge to get near the front. It is in a small shopping plaza so it shares with other businesses. Plenty of spots, you just might need to walk a little which is a great idea after the meal anyway ?

Came highly recommended as “everything in the menu is amazing!” Perhaps we ordered the wrong items but we decided to stay away from pizza (we should’ve stayed with pizza). We ordered Garlic Knots, Chicken Franscesca and Primo Calzone.Lots of garlic in everything and just not what we expected at all. Staff super friendly, but this is not our type of place or food.Again, we may have ordered the wrong items but in the food industry, most of this times there’s only one opportunity to earn a new patron. ?

I've been to this restaurant several times. The chicken fettuccini was like eating chicken with noodles and absolutely no sauce. In the past the food and service was much better. I was extremely disappointed when I left especially after spending ,$50.00.
