Da Giovanni is described across reviews as a classic, affordable Italian spot in Montreal with a warm, nostalgic vibe and a long tradition, known for comforting dishes like spaghetti with meat sauce or meatballs and a well loved pizza crust. Pizza and house wine are frequently praised, portions are generous, and value is highlighted by many diners. The atmosphere is repeatedly called cozy and old-fashioned, though several comments note that the newer location or updated decor with TVs and music changes the feel and diminishes some of the original charm. Service tends to be friendly and attentive, with praise for quick service and accommodating staff, while a few reviews mention crowds, hours, or occasional inconsistencies. Some criticisms focus on discrepancies between online pictures and the actual menu, or on tables that feel crowded. Overall the reviews present Da Giovanni as a reliable, nostalgic choice for classic pasta and pizza at a fair price, beloved by generations and a go to staple in Montreal.

Got the Pizza-ghetti because it seemed like a fun, whimsical dish. However the pizza tasted like school cafeteria food & the pasta sauce was okay. Service was also pretty slow for how empty the place was at the time.

It tasted like boxed pasta & canned sauce with ground beef added. Very bland, not worth the $, regretted going there as soon as my entree was put in front of me.
