Review Summary

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.

Les même plats, il n'y a pas beaucoup de choix. Très bonne sauce a spaghetti. Service rapide pour libérer les tables.

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.

Fast & friendly service, had spaghetti bolognese & cheesecake which was great. We had it pre-booked so unsure whether it would be as quick if you just turned up & paid for something.
All in all it was a nice restaurant to dine in.

Repas authentique Da Giovani comme dans le temps. Choix à la carte diminués (Trio pâtes, option smoked meat, vin: pas vu, portion correct mais diminué aussi). Ambiance bonne mais plus rapide style fast food, donc nous met moins confortable. Si vous y allez un couple, moins le fun sur demi table. Y veulent trop exploiter le pied carré, ça gâche le plaisir. Je ne le recommande pas pour soirée relax au resto. Plus pour repas à cadence rapide-moyen.

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.

Da Giovanni is one of the oldest restaurants in Montreal. People used to line up outside to get in. What made them special was their special marinara sauce & their very generous servings. The sauce is still the same, but the portion I got last time I was there was really small. I was disappointed.

Meilleure pizza & pâtes que j’ai goûté de ma vie. Nous y sommes retournés un deuxième soir d’affilé alors que nous ne venons pas de Montréal.

Je recommande à 100% ce restaurant! Ça ne coûte pas trop cher & c’est extrêmement bon!

Je ne sais pas si ce restaurant a été vendu à un nouveau propriétaire, mais la traditionnelle sauce tomate qui était si excellente est disparue. Mon spaghetti a pris le bord des poubelles.

Très déçu. Dans notre cas, nous recherchions le Dagiovanni des années 60-70-80...Ce gout qu`avait la sauce a Spag & la pizza, qui nous faisait attendre en filée les dimanches soirs d`Hiver très froids. Ça n`a plus rien a voir. Nous ni retournerons pas.
