We visited Giovanni's in Barnstaple last night a lovely Italian restaurant.we had Mozzarella in Carrozza as a starter which was full of flavour and a nice light starter ,my wife had lasagna al forno as her main it looked very well presented and was delicious for my main I had Penne Pasticciate and this was full of flavour for the dessert we had the tiramisu and a a panacote with chocolate sauce and both were excellent.The service was very friendly and professional and very attentive.I will definitely be visiting again and recommending to all

Very friendly staff. Enjoyable quick meal as we were on route elsewhere.Vegetarian options: No vegan options but did accommodate. I had veggie pizza no cheese.

Although the interior is dated, the food was quality and everyone enjoyed their meal and drinks. Their bathrooms were clean, however they could do with a refurbishment.

Me and my husband have been to Giovanni's twice before, first time on honeymoon and really disappointed in the quality and price of our meal. Definitely out of the microwave! We gave the restaurant a second chance a week ago, having been to the pantomime. We booked for half past nine, and got there around 9.15. We got a not very nice look from the host. We both ordered cannelloni... well, what can I say. It took about a couple of minutes to be brought to us, totally microwaved, crunchy around the edges, tiny portion with hardly any meat. How anyone can dish that up and serve it to a customer I just don't know! He should be embarrassed ! The bill was £38, including a beer and a glass of wine. Absolute rip off. Will never go there again.

Decent Italian restaurant, a regular spot when we are visiting Barnstaple for business.

The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. The atmosphere was a little noisy dye to a large group celebrating a birthday.

I'm a very fussy eater and Giovanni's was an absolutely gorgeous meal I would definitely recommend for the food atmosphere and service ?
Haven't been to this restaurant for a a few years but visited last night with family and it was the same as it's always been. The service was good and the food was lovely with generous portions and hot. Would highly recommend

Haven't been here for a few years but we booked for a pre show dinner at the Queen's Theatre and it was as good as we remembered. Service was excellent and the food was hot and generous portions. It was busy so still very popular and I would highly recommend a visit.

The starter was amazing, the pizza was good and the dessert was terrible. We had Bruschetta to start, it was really light and refreshing, perfect. Pizza was okay, the sauce was a little dull, the pizza was a bit on the small size but nice. Then the man offered to give my crying child some ice cream. I thought it would be on the house, but ended up seeing it on the bill. The ice cream tasted very similar to the children’s ice lollys called mini milks. The atmosphere was quiet and quiet. You could just here other people’s conversations, it could do with some music.

Wonderful food and great service. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We went with someone who is incredibly fussy and she loved it !!
