Giovanni's

8 people in our party and it was unanimous, 5 stars

Me my wife and 6 others stopped in for salads with pizza... it was nonstop comments on the pizza so I thought you should know! Looks like you got a couple of jerks with attitudes commenting... thought you could use a little encouragement from 8 satisfied customers. Keep up the good work... a fellow restaurant owner, Doug Hoover

Not a good place

by H60hadgi at Citysearch

Andi and I ate at Giovanni's on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. it was $37.65.

For this she got a salad with rotted lettuce leaves, one (limited) trip to the "Soup Bar" The soup was potatoes Al Gratin in a box with extra water and a Drink.

I ordered a 9" pizza, a small order of mozzarella sticks and a drink. The pizza was greasy which made the bread soggy. They didn't have Dr. Pepper or Mr Pibb, so I settled for a lemonade. Overall, the quality of the food was no where near what I expected for the cost. The service was also lacking. The server never introduced herself and it was difficult to get a refill. The Sizzler on Aero can feed me, Andi and her parents and my son for 40 bucks and the salads are crisp, they have a nice bar and offer Dr Pepper =D. Anyhow I was very disappointed as this was the first opportunity we had in a couple years to go out by ourselves and we wasted the time at a place with crappy food and poor service.
