Review Summary

Da Giovanni is widely regarded as a classic Montreal staple that successfully maintains the authentic recipes and nostalgic flavors of its original location. Many visitors praise the consistent quality of the spaghetti, meatballs, pizza, and signature pasta sauce, noting that the portions are generous and the prices are fair. While the atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, welcoming, and well-decorated, opinions on the service and management are mixed; some patrons highlight the professional and friendly staff, whereas others mention issues with staffing levels and occasional operational inefficiencies. Despite some varying feedback regarding the modern decor and recent changes, the restaurant remains a beloved destination for those seeking traditional Italian comfort food.

Basic menu but decent enough variety. Food was good. The Italian sausage was surprisingly tasty (didn't look like typical Italian sausage). Service was friendly.

5.0

The food was really tasty with great portion sizes. Both meals & sides were what we needed. Only downside was they opened the front window (where we were seated) & yellow jackets started flying around us ... plus lots of people walking by with no buffer. I would have chosen a different table if I knew they were opening the window. Otherwise highly recommended.
