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.

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.

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.
