Le gout est très ordinaire, le spaghetthi sauce à la viande & la pizza de mes amis était décevante. Ne payez pas si cher pour une qualité d'aliments médiocres. Beaucoup de resto de pates & pizza offrent mieux.

Ce restaurent a mon avis a perdu son ambiance dans temps. Plus encore, ancien restaurent il y avait des files à la porte. Il était vide a l'heure qui arrivait au souper. Décors est pas superbe. Le spaghetti bon, mais pas beaucoup de sauce.

J'ai fait livrer par Uber. Après plus de 30 ans sans avoir mangé leur excellent spaghetti sauce à la viande & 1 boulette, je n'ai pas été déçue, j'avais oublié à quel point c'est bon & délicieux, accompagné d'un succulent gâteau au chocolat! Je donne 10/10. Très satisfaite!

My parents used to take me here when I was a little girl. While the food is still good, something about the atmosphere just isn't the same since they moved. It used to feel like walking into a big family dinner, with warmth, energy, & that old-school Italian charm. I remember the cook in the windows making sauces & spaghetti for all the passersby to see! It was so unique. Now, it feels a little too polished, a little too impersonal-with the TV screens & the decor that's just like every other restaurant. It's lost the essence of what made it special.

Another disappointment was the misleading website. The pictures show pizzas that aren't even on the menu, which was frustrating when we sat down expecting to order something that simply wasn't available. It left the impression that either the menu had been changed without updating the site, or the images were just for show. Don't call it a Margherita pizza when it isn't.

Overall, if you're just here for a meal, the food still delivers. But if you're looking for that nostalgic Da Giovanni experience, you might leave feeling like something's missing.

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.
