Giovanni's Detroit

Best authentic Italian restaurant in Wayne County. The food was excellent! The service was excellent! And the ambiance was very nice. Special occasion, date night or just because you want great Italian food.

Giovanni's was our choice for our supper club's outing for my best friend's birthday dinner. Our reservation was at 8pm because we all work that was the best time for us to get in for an amazing Italian dinner. We did wait for almost an hour to be seated- note: the kitchen does close at 9pm. We were sat in the Godfather Room. Absolutely stunning. It was so cozy private, exactly what the birthday girl wanted. The drinks were coming a bit slow, nothing to complain about. It was a Friday evening, two weeks before Christmas so we expected longer than usual wait times. The cocktails were marvelous. The Italian margarita was a favorite, along with the espresso martini to keep me going after all the pasta I was about to scarf down! The appetizers were delicious; sausage peppers, an order of artichokes, portobello app, and the best I have ever tasted calamari. It was so tender I could cut the pieces with my fork. The salads were fresh the soups were tasty. The dinners were served up piping hot everyone was satisfied with their choices. The gnocchi was out of this world! I will get that dish on the next visit. My dinner was the only one staggered, and they made it right. They deducted it off the bill. Thank you for that gesture. The birthday tiramisu came out at the perfect time- and it was so delicious, tasted like Grammas! We felt like family when we dined here we will definitely be back. Give Giovanni's a try. It's a Detroit staple and a James Beard Award Winning Restaurant!

Fancy spaghetti at best. Atmosphere is cool and food was nothing special. My grandma loved it, but she also likes the old Olive Garden. Service was good.

Excellent food service and Ambience Went for our Anniversary and order something and the waitress recommended a little something different and I was in love with the place then and there will go again and again. Finish every bite and I don't usually do that.

I found this restaurant on Yelp as I was looking for places to it because I was out of town for work. What pulled me in was the pictures of the food and the look of the place. I loved the vibe of the restaurant. It was dim and romantic. Perfect for a date night. The service was great. The food was spectacular. Authentic Italian cuisine. Next time I'm in town, I will be back.
