Having been "local regulars" at Giovanni for quite some time, enjoying the great food every time (from great, thin based pizzas, over fish to probably one of the best seafood pastas) we thought we have tasted it all (and would still come back for more). Along comes Peter with an "avocado meringue" as dessert that was THE BEST EVER. We'll... More

excellent pizza and other italian food. thin base and perfectly made, this pizza is well worth the waiting time for a table in this popular place. usually it is served with few sauces (real fresh ones, not the industrial poisons) on the side - which makes the whole creation more interesting. for drink i like the SAVANAH dry- a south...

A warm atmosphere, friendly staff and a must for a reservation. Every time we go, we suspect we would try something different, however having worked through the fabulous Oxtail, the great pizza's, the soft steak and wonderful curry; our best stays the seafood pasta. It's a mixed seafood pasta served in tinfoil in a pan, in a delicious creamy sauce.... More

Giovanni's has been my favorite restaurant for years and Peter just keeps improving on everything especially the food. The Staff is exceptional and they make everyone feel like they are their favorite customers. I love it and its just down the road, cool hey?

2nd time to this restaurant and we will definately be back again. Good service, good food and nice ambiance albiet a little crammed inside this popular spot. Italian food can be so boring and simple but Giovanni's has a very interesting and different menu. The pizza bases are possibly the thinest bases I have ever had, a bit like flammkuchen... More

With a place like Giovanni's in our vicinity we never have to go far for a quality evening with excellent food, good service and good company. Since they have opened in Waterstone, Peter and Dino have managed to maintain a high standard which besides the good food includes warm friendship. Thank you very much, we don't know how you do...
