The servers were nice however the food was absolutely not worth the price. I came with my friends who orders a simple penne pasta which tasted like a can of tomatoes dumped on a pile of pasta. In the pasta sauce of my dish the oil was bringing to separate in a very unappetising way, and made me not want to continue with my meal. The pasta was incredibly undercooked and the portions were not at all worth what we paid. I would not recommend this restaurant at all, you could probably get better food at the local Sainsbury’s across the street.Parking: IdkWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible at all. Very very disappointed.

I have never eaten such a terrible meal, the lasagne was drowned in tomato sauce and the layers inside were burnt black. LAZANIA WAS INEDIBLE.

Very disappointed with this restaurant. My friend and I walked in for a meal and we have both had food poisoning. I've called today to flag this incase anyone has been ill. The assistant manager, Roger was very rude and obstructive. I wasn't going to raise a complaint but it was upset with the response, I asked that one be raised. The assistant manager became more rude and patronising. He couldn't give me a rough timescale to hear back from my complaint. Having shared this experience with friends and family, they advised that they know a number of people who have left Giovani's with food poisoning and they weren't surprised it happened to us.

Starter was frozen inside so had to send it back to be replaced. Even though the food was nice when it came it was hugely disappointing that this happened in the first place. Service was a bit slow. Waited aged for dessert menu. Atmosphere there was nice, the decor was nice and the staff were nice enough.

We went to Giovannis for a Pizza Making class and it really did not disappoint! It was full of laughs and tips and tricks on different techniques for making your pizza.Would really recommend, for us it included a welcome drink (soft drink, small glass of wine, or a bottle of beer) making the pizza with unlimited toppings and then eating the pizza (the best part!).

Food is delicious, fresh and beautifully served. Restaurant is lovely looking and clean. Staff is kind and polite. Such a lovely place to visit ???

Had a delicious dinner with a fabulous view at Giovanni's in the Bay. We were there quite early so it wasn't very busy, by the time we left the restaurant was full. We ordered a pizza, olives and drinks. The server was friendly and attentive, the food arrived hot and fresh. All in all I would highly recommend Giovanni's.

Very poor, food tasteless and very over priced. Waited ages for food and when it eventually came had to add lots of parmesan to add some flavour. Would definitely not return. Ravioli from a can would have more flavour .

My favourite restaurant. Beautifully situated on edge of Mermaid Quay with nearby WMC. Friendly and attentive staff, noting too much trouble. Great menus and dishes of the day - mouth watering and beautifully presented. Great cocktails, wines, and liqueur coffees.
My family and I went for dinner as a New Year’s Eve Eve meal. The restaurant had around 5 tables all evening so the restaurant was not busy at all. Our waiter, an older chap, took our order and seemed very impatient as my father hadn’t decided what he wanted. Instead of giving us extra time he decided to wait there and stare forcing my father’s decision to be rushed. We ordered olives to start and while we were still eating them they got taken away. We had bruschetta as a side with the maid meal and while we were in the middle of eating this it got taken away. I had to ask 5 times for water and when we called another waiter over to complain he said it’s just because he is Italian and also new. As my parents travel regularly to Italy several times a year they explained it can’t be because he is Italian because they have never experienced this bad of service there before. The waiter proceeded to respond without an apology to us and said we are insulting him.Now the food was very good and we enjoyed every meal we had but I wouldn’t go back nor would I recommend this place to any one because of the service being so bad.

As usual we enjoyed our dinner, following a show at the Millennium Centre. The service was friendly, speedy and efficient, and the ambience was pleasant. They do seem to have upped their prices quite a bit but perhaps that was inevitable.

Delightful experience at Giovanni’s in the Bay with friends last week. Delicious food - I had chicken dish with mushrooms and sauce - great service and ambience. Mirko was especially attentive. We will be going again!!

Had a great custom-made vegetarian pizza. Really loved the base. They went an extra mile, shows the importance of asking nicely. An all round excellent meal. Grazie mille. ?

Would highly recommend this venue. We hosted our friends 40th birthday here and the restaurant was so accommodating, we were able to play our own music, order food and dance through the night. The staff looked after us and the food was delicious ? its such a pretty venue, perfect for party’s.
