Staff were courteous but were slow to take orders and clear table, resulting in an delay between courses. The Restuarant was not full, so no obvious reason for the longer than average time wait between courses.Menus was a bit non adventurous, and no special boards. Although kids menu was more than adequate.When the food did arrive it was well presented more than ample and everyone enjoyed their choices.If the Restuarant is to attract its market, attention to quicker turnround of food.....we did not expect fast food service, but 30/40 minutes between courses is not good for business when it is obvious diners had finished course.Would willingly return if service and menu improved.

Great service last night as I and a friend met up for a well needed catch up and was a half way house between our locations. Food was great as was the service. The cheesy garlic bread was excellent as was the Calabrese Pizza. Will absolutely return. Great value too!

My friend and I both really enjoyed our food, the prices were very reasonable and staff were very attentive.It's a beautiful space. However, it is very noisy, it's almost like voices echo, and as such, it's difficult to have a conversation in.

The restaurant and toilets were very clean - that's the only positive thing I can say.We waited ages to be served. When we did eventually get served, we waited ages for our drinks and starters. Our main course was eventually served whilst the starter plates were still on the table.Some of our party did enjoy their food, but our chicken milanese was dry and tasteless. The chicken was very chewy. We weren't offered a second round of drinks. Not once did the waitress ask if our meals were okay. Overall, the service was very poor. I was so disappointed as one member of our party was celebrating a big birthday and this was not a good experience for them. Would not recommend this restaurant.

Service was not great, under staffed. Had to ask for things several times and then gave up, asked for water and black pepper a few times, never came. Had chicken milanese, it was very dry and chewy. Served tea without cups, waiter had to go and get them. Restaurant is very tastefully decorated, nice atmosphere, just felt service and quality of food was not good. Our lovely waitress was lovely but looked stressed. Sorry would not recommend.

Very attractive decor, my garlic mushroom bruschetta was gorgeous, the main course and sweet did well, I'd go back

Was here on Friday night was greater to a empty restaurant at 6pm never a good start, sat right at the door. I dunno if all staff were new because the clearly didn’t have a clue what they were doing. The women manager stood on her phone constantly doing nothing. The guy manager just shouldn’t be anything more than a waiter because he was useless The food is awful , tasteless these chef are using the cheapest produce, king prawns were tiny It also took 15 to get a drink order at the start even know it was dead Please avoid
First visit Giovanni’s Italian kitchen a good welcome on my birthday the first order pasta and pizza superb excellent and also Italian red wine also desert fantastic takes me back Florence Italy on holiday season driving Ferrari 458 visit many places stop every 5 star hotel to rally roads experience ?

Great food (and cocktails!) at a reasonable price, attentive and personable staff, and a lovely ambience.

7 of us for dinner and not one of us enjoyed the food. The pasta was so overcooked it was all stuck together. 2 of us had chicken with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were runny and over salted! Won’t be back
