Reviews of Giovanni's Restaurant & Bar
M.
Highly recommended! We traveled from Waiheke on vacation and our last night we had dinner at Giovanni's. What a good idea! The starters and main courses were delicious! very tasty. We finish with some perfect desserts. Haneka was lovely to us. We will definitely go back!
S.
We had such a nice experience here. The restaurant is stunning & full of character, really cool pictures on the wall. Also the food is some of the best I’ve ever eaten. I’m definitely coming back to have the Giovanni’s favourite pizza as a full meal. Service is so lovely & attentive here, recommend 100% for the whole experience. Thanks Giovanni’s!
D.
In my opinion, food can't hold a candle to Tutto Bene or not really even on par with Formaggios but our party enjoyed our evening here. Nice atmosphere. Our waitress was pretty good with our Large party under level2 conditions and when they burnt my steak (left photo), she was able to get it replaced with the rare to medium-rare I ordered. (Right photo)
J.
This is a generous review because the staff seemed very stressed and overstretched.
Ordered 4 takeaway pizzas on a grab one so luckily a discount. Paying $25 for each pizza would have been Daylight robbery.
Service over the phone was poor but I was willing to let that go for quality food.
Upon first look, the pizzas were much smaller than expected and looked very bland. Disappointing to say the least.
There couldn't have been more than $2 of toppings per pizza (very meagre) and the taste was sadly on par.
Only 3 stars because we had a discount and it was actually edible.
Our lips were also covered in charcoal.
It says something when the Hawaiian is the best tasting of our four 'authentic Italian pizzas'.
g.
We dined at Giovanni’s for my wife’s birthday. The service was excellent and the food was spectacular. They were fully accommodating to my request and really made the effort to make the birthday experience one to remember.
Would definitely dine here again as part of a group or as a couple.
S.
Comfortable surroundings with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Really impressed with the quality of the food which was very tasty and well presented. One of the best lasagnes I’ve had and the deserts are delicious! Excellent experience — highly recommended!
R.
Received a very friendly welcome and almost felt at home straight away. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Enjoyed the desert even more. The live music in the background just added to the whole experience. Would highly recommend.
M.
The food was amazing! My Gnocchi was so light and fluffy and delicious. The service was also fantastic. Cheerful and friendly staff. We will definitely go back and try some of their other mains. I highly recommend Giovanni’s for a delicious meal in a lovely Italian restaurant.
L.
The staff are very charming and professional. A great quality service, all bread and pasta made in house and such fine dining. Go here for a special romantic date!
L.
Beautiful food, the home-made gnocchi and cheesecake were delicious. Authentic decor, friendly service and great atmosphere. We look forward to dining at Giovannis again.
S.
They were very accommodating to us. Delicious food and the guy who served us gave perfect recommendations, specifically the slow cooked pork. Will definitely be returning.
K.
Incredible restaurant. I have been here multiple times now, 5 to be exact, and every time I try something new, the food exceeds my expectations.
The service and atmosphere are also perfect. Relaxing and classy.
—UPDATE—
I would recommend this restaurant again and again.
I have been back another 5 times and still the food continues to go past what I had previously expected.
The staff really are a treat and I feel so welcomed every time I arrive.
D.
We had a great time here. The pizza was excellent and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend Giovanni’s Favourite. We will definitely be coming back.
P.
Although our New Year's Day meal was delicious and the waitstaff very attentive the dining experience was marred by the grumpy proprietress who made no bones about reprimanding her staff loudly in our hearing and giving every appearance that she dislikes the business that she's running and has little interest in creating a warm and welcoming environment for her customers. Maybe she was suffering the after effects of too good a New Year's Eve celebration., but that's no excuse for the sour face and unpleasant attitude.
D.
Food was great - had chicken parmigiana which was excellent. Tiramisu was among the best I’ve had in Christchurch. Looking forward to coming back to try the pasta.
J.
Service and the food was amazing! Delicious mains and delivered with smile that set a really positive mood for the night. Would go back for the service.
Note: Margarita was not very good, spritz was divine
b.
Where to start! The food is mouth wateringly good, the service is amazing, staff are friendly and the environment is quirky and fun. I love that they have a full vegan menu. I've been multiple times and hope to one day eat through the whole vegan menu
J.
Very enjoyable vegetarian meal. Very tasty and well prepared. Will definitely come back again. Portion size is generous so I am having to sit extra 10 minutes and write this review. :)
R.
I was embarrassed by my son who was constantly telling the teller how much he liked his food... 😀
The ambience was courteous, staff was good, just a small mess up about my entre but they rectified it by complementary entre with my mains.
Food was as per hype, good, garnished and warm. Taste was as per liking and quality was astonishingly good.
Loved every single morsel.
Is pricy but nice
M.
Excellent food and outstanding service. Loved the wall decor with Venetian masks and art work. Lovely soft music was playing on the background creating a pleasant and cozy atmosphere. Will be back!
J.
6 of us shared a booth for the daugters 30th. Great atmosphere. Lovely food. Excellent service. Enjoyed the night. Will come again for sure. Thank you ! 😊
H.
This was one of my easiest 5 star reviews. I'm usually disappointed with Italian restaurants in Christchurch as they tend to be overpriced and very often they don't make their own pasta. At Giovanni's Restaurant everything feels authentic. The decoration is nice, the service is great and the food is fabulous. They didn't try to reinvent the Italian food, they just offer simple but delicious homemade pasta and pizza with good quality ingredients.
j.
Giovannis is definitely the place to come for an eventful night with great food!! Awesome service from Ashwin, Sophie & Hanneke. The Dillema was the perfect end to the night, i will definitely be back!!!
b.
Had my bestfriends birthday dinner couple months ago, food was delicious and all staff there were so welcoming. We had a few kids with us and we weren’t exactly quiet, but everyone was so lovely! Will definitely visit you guys again. Thank you very much for all your services xx
T.
Impeccable service, divine food, outstanding atmosphere. The place to go with friends or family or even for date night! We indulged and enjoyed.
K.
Great service with great food recommendations. Food was out quick and tasted yummy! We will be back, thanks for making our anniversary special x
S.
The place has a great vibe and beautiful interior. Very friendly staff :)
Its a Hit and miss: Hit is, place- location, ambience and staff is great, They also offer a vegan menu which is awesome however the portion size is ridiculously small. You get a main dish for $25 and literally, I counted the Gnocci in my dish which was 9 pieces with some sauce. Its not filling at all, you need 2 mains or actual couple of sides- say about 55-60 per person.
They also charge $2.5 per person if you want to cut your own cake (if you’re planning on celebrating birthday or something). For a group of 12 people, it seems like a lot of money. But its kinda justified too in a way that they dont want to promote that.
S.
What a beautiful meal, with stunning service. The whole evening was fabulous. Thank you for making our special night out special 😗💞
s.
Best creamy carbonara I've ever had. And that's saying something considering I have to eat gluten free pasta now. Super friendly staff and quiet acoustics (you don't feel like you can hear other tables when the restaurant is full).
L.
Dined as a group of six on a quiet Monday night. Polenta chips were perfect as was the pizza. All of our groups food was enjoyed - great waiter too. Slightly disappointed no cider on tap, otherwise an overall great night.
J.
Really good spot for some yummy Italian. Delicious food! Found it hard to decide what to eat but it did not disappointment. Great service as well. Best we've had in Christchurch so far
C.
Friendly staff, nice setting, and delicious polenta chips. Pizzas were good and tasty, but not quite the authentic Italian pizza we were hoping for, although very close. The bases were a fraction too thick and not very airy. Aperol Spritz went down a treat. Overall a good experience, and one of the better Italian restaurants in Christchurch. 4+ stars.
D.
Just pure fantastic dinner and great welcoming service. One of my favourite Italian restaurants so far!
M.
We had a caprese salad that was lifeless and in need of much better tomatoes. The toppings on the breads were pleasant but by coming out pre spread it felt like a exercise in austerity and a missed opportunity for some engagement with the meal. The pizza was the strongest plate but as we were looking for a bit more than a pizza restaurant we didn’t quite find what we were looking for.
L.
Amazing service, delicious food! We had such a fantastic experience as a walk-in table of 5! Great place to show our guest from Auckland a taste of Italy right here in Christchurch. Would definitely recommend and we will be coming back. Thankyou Giovanni's.
H.
We had a wonderful time at Giovannis! It was warm and inviting the staff were lovely and accommodating. Hanneke the owner made sure she got our order through first so we didn't have to wait for the massive dinner party that had ordered before us. The food was fantastic! Thanks team, we will be back again soon!
F.
OMG, A great place for dinner. Food we ordered (pasta and lamb) were absolutely delicious. The tiramasu for me was simply divine. I definitely recommend this restuarant. A+
N.
Best Italian restaurant in Christchurch! Staff were extremely friendly & welcoming and food was delicious. We managed to score a GrabOne voucher so saved $40 off our meal. Would definitely recommend this restaurant! 😊
B.
Excellent evening with friends, from the initial greeting to to last farewell. Service was first class and the meals very high standard. Recommend this as a must visit experience.
J.
Nice local beer, but the pasta carbonara was a small helping of uninspiring and overcooked pasta for $25.
Companions had the steak and lamb shanks that were good.
A.
come here every year for my anniversary with my partner never disappoints! Very yummy fresh food great service and such a beautiful wee restaurant would recommend to everyone to try out!
L.
Perfect dining experience! I’m a fussy eater and The food is superb: beef and pollo we ordered delicious and well presented! Staff ( duty manager ) is attentive, polite and knowledgeable.
T.
Great service, wonderful food and a great atmosphere. Particular mentions to the Pollo Pizza, combination and balance of toppings, cooked perfectly.
C.
After a fantastic day we had Giovanni's recommended by staff at a bar we were having drinks at. Quick check of the menu online and we rocked in. Met by excellent accommodating staff who squeezed our non booked request for a booth for two in. Food was excellent fresh and hand made, having dined at Tutto Bene regularly I found the experience surpassed that which I had experienced there, no negative towards Tutto Bene but the combined package of service, fresh food to our exact request and the general ambiance at Giovanni's was exceptional.
A.
Service was excellent and friendly. Food was great. Sangria pitcher was great value too! Had an amazing time.
M.
Out for our wedding anniversary. What a wonderful choice! All the food was amazing and the service was supurb. Grazie!!
F.
Tasty food and lovely atmosphere. The wait staff were great. Well done on a nice evening
J.
Great food and great service. After a small misunderstanding over the menu, the situation was dealt with quickly and pleasantly. Absolutely recommended
S.
Absolutely amazing service. Would definitely go back! Food was phenomenal. Would recommend!🍕😋
K.
We had high expectations after reading previous reviews. Unfortunately it was a mixed bag for us. We went on Sunday night for First Table dining.
We all ordered entrees which were lovely. Arachini balls and mussels.
Mains, we ordered the eye fillet steak.Waiter returned to say no steak available!!. We ordered lamb shanks, which were cooked beautifully.
Desserts were nice but not served as described on menu..
All in all, what we had was nice but not what we were hoping to have.
Nice atmosphere and decor.
Might return but might ring ahead to check if steak is on the menu.
C.
Slightly underwhelming. Super tender steak, offset by lack of any flavour. Our dining experience was marred by seating near the door on a cold night, possibly due to being a walk in versus booking ahead.
T.
The service from the staff manager was amazing, definitely the best I have had so far. So friendly and welcoming.
The food was amazing too, a very high end Italian restaurant.
The margarita, with the special syrup, was also exceptional.
10/10, will be back very soon, and very often.
Cheers guys 👍
P.
Great food n friendly service. Best to book a table. Locals night tuesday. Pasta OR pizza with ice cream $20. Pork belly in photo. Craft beer ( giovanni's) worth a shot.
Y.
Had a lovely dining experience Saturday night with the husband. Great Service and super yummy food! I wish I had more room to have dessert! We felt well looked after :)
J.
A great night celebrating a birthday - beautiful food, great service and authentic atmosphere!
f.
My pizza and affrogato were superb! Friendly welcoming staff made a return visit a must do!!
We were there for 1st table and didn't feel rushed to leave. Thank you!!
M.
Little pricey but good food. Not a big choices menu though
J.
Friendly staff who obviously love their job. Service was great, and food was even better. Best Vegetarian Lasagna I think I have ever had.
L.
Great meal, awesome service and atmosphere. Definitely would recommend.
E.
I absolutely love wood fired pizza and this restaurant didn't disappoint!
We had the polenta chips and OMG they were definitely a hit. The bruschetta was yummy, even my 3 year old was munching away on it.
Back to the pizzas, they were demolished! Couldn't recommend this Italian restaurant more. We'll definitely be back
K.
Delicious food and awesome service.
S.

A beautiful evening. The meals were delightful and beautifully presented. This is one of Christchurchs top restaurants and is well worth experiencing. Staff were most helpful and the overall experience was 1st class.
B.
I went with my father last Saturday night for tea at Giovanni's, & what a FANTASTIC experience we had.
The Manager & Staff were great, & the food & drinks were out of this world.
I Thoughley recommend Giovanni's for your Italian Experience!!!😊👌👌👌

A.
First time here this week, food was amazing, staff were friendly and accommodating, pizza was so good and base was soft yet crispy. I will definitely be returning. Vegetarian friendly options. Your calzone was incredible
M.
Fantastic meals and superb service from friendly staff. A birthday to remember 🥃😎
A.
Great atmosphere, food was delicious and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend!
B.
I never usually take time to write reviews unless I have something to complain about but this place was just too good not to rave about. Service was impeccable, we were greeted at the door by the owner who was incredibly warm and welcoming. From the second we sat down, we were blown away - the food, decor, atmosphere and service was outstanding. Great value at $20-$25 a meal and located in the heart of the city. Highly recommend to anyone, groups big or small, if you want an authentic Italian experience in Christchurch.
S.
Not a bad place to eat, service was friendly and attentive, atmosphere was nice. The foods presentation was to a high standard, but didnt blow us away with amazing flavours. The pizzas were ok but after a few slices we were over it. Reheating the leftovers the next day was dry and became bird food. The pasta itself was nice and authentic but the meat and sauce tasted just like we make at home nothing to rave about. The best past were the mozzarella cheese sticks which were amazing. Everything else was stock standard and quite overpriced compared to other Italian restaurants we dine at. Overall a pleasant evening but we wont be rushing to go there again.
P.
Excellent food had the seafood pasta and chicken spinach pizza. Both delicious. Pizza bases amazing and thin and crispy. Great service. Lovely decor and atmosphere. Great overall
W.
Had an absolutely fantastic meal, the food was perfect and the service was great too. Highly recommended. Definitely the standout restaurant for this trip to Christchurch.
A.
Service was amazing, atmosphere was very romantic, food was very good, would highly recommend
P.
Welcomed at the door by a member of staff. Provided me with a take away menu as requested. Very clean upon entry. Tables set, a very Italian feel with Italian music and pictures on the wall of prominent Italians. Staff inside very polite and willing to help with decisions of choices to make. Other patrons appeared very happy with their meals.
Menus both take a way and dining in looked very appetizing.
My pint of Perroni was poured well. Tasted good and presented well.
Over hearing other patrons complimenting food and discussing the website pictures do the food no justice I would definitely eat here and use the take away menu. All the Italian classics with a new Zealand flair.
Well worth the visit
M.
Had takeaway, when I went to pick up the food felt it was a waste not having food at their restaurant as it looked very comfortable and inviting. Florentino salad was very delicious with generous cubes of cheese and salami that made the dish very complex, not a salad eater but enjoyed the dish. Pasta well made and cooked with delicious sauces. Giovanni's pizza and mussels could be improved, but overall was very impressed with quality of food and service.
N.
Beautiful atmosphere and food. Staff are very pleasant.
D.
Nice environment. Meals on the smaller size for men. Friendly staff.
E.
Great service, very friendly staff with AMAZING food and excellent atmosphere
A.
Really enjoyed the gorgonzola ravioli, prawns were awesome and pizza was approved by fussy eater. Staff friendly but it was cold as sin and nothing happened when we asked for the heat to go on.
S.
Love the food, although portion size is slightly small.
H.
Pizzas are good, but topping was very tiny.
Service need to improve.
G.
Good Italian restaurant. We enjoyed our meal. Real wood fired pizza oven. Good range of wines
Enjoy an aperol spritz to start you meal.
S.
Wonderful staff made us feel very special as soon as we arrived. The atmosphere was stunning and the food was delicious. Loved the margheritas (Deep)! Thanks for an awesome birthday treat.
J.
Great experience. Best food and amazing service. Super friendly and lovely. If i was closer I would go often and would become the family local 😊
p.
We used a christmas gift voucher (Grab One) from our daughter that entitled us to 2 Entrees & 2 Mains. On a cold, damp Christchurch mid week night the place wasn't that busy - one large group of 12-14 ladies out having a good time, other than that just 4-5 tables of 2-4, so the place looked pretty quiet. On booking, I was told we'd need to decide on either 5.30, or 7.30 (2 booking times), the staff said that normally they're pretty much fully booked hence the 2 sittings. A few wee glitches during the evening, but nothing major, and any glitches were very well smoothed over by the lovely lady we assumed to be one of the owners, she was a really super person / chatty / happy / informative / caring. There were 2 other staff on duty as well, all very attentive. Meals were lovely, plenty of options. We also had desserts (excellent, and a few drinks - plenty of drink options on the menu). Very spacious, and uncramped environment, heaps of space. All in all, highly recommended.
S.
Authentic Italian, and welcoming, friendly service.
The tiramisu is excellent to boot.
Dine in and take away it's consistently good, I keep coming back.
L.
Delicious lasagne, very attentive and friendly service, yummy Chianti. Low key and family friendly but surprisingly delicious.
A.
Amazing food and absolutely delicious service which truly makes the whole experience - stupidly recommend to absolutely everyone near and far.
R.
This place feels almost exactly like an Italian restaurant. The staff were VERY friendly, and although they were of different backgrounds, I still felt comfortable. Food was delicious. Even the food I thought I never liked tasted great
J.
The food is delicious but the service can use some attention. We waited 30min for our wine, 1h for our mains, after getting the desert menu we were tired of the waiting and decided to leave. Long waits and not very friendly service. It might have been busy but we felt that they wanted us to leave as soon as possible, such a shame!
a.
Absolutely amazing. Delicious food with beautiful ambience. Aranchini ball are must try.. fresh pasta with amazing sauces. Will come back.
S.
Loved the food,atmosphere and the service. Highly recommend for a taste of Italy.
H.
The food was Delicious ! Our server Ashwin & chef Harry was super nice and helpful with food. Highly Recommended. 👍🏻👍🏻
J.
Beautiful prochetta, chicken parmigiana and carbonara.
Lovely strong flavoured lemon sorbet and panna cotta. The owner even stopped by for a nice chat afterward to see how we liked a taster of a trial desert they are working on which was very good
C.
Incredible food, service and atmosphere. Whether it be for business or pleasure, do not hesitate in coming to Giovannis.
I would recommend the chicken parmigiana or any of the pizzas or pastas.
K.
We had a lovely meal, the steak was the best I have tasted, the atmosphere was warm and friendly and the service was superb, can't rave how good this experience was.
A.
Good food like really good food the food here is the best Italian in chch I think. The staff are the best especially the South African lady

I.
Well looked after by Ashwin and Natalie. Food was amazing. Had the arancini and mozzarella chips which were perfectly cooked and followed up with the Canterbury Beef (perfectly rare) and the Porchetta pork belly. All topped off with a dessert special of triple sec mousse and gelato. Will definitely be coming back 👌🏼
Y.

(Translated) Two days ago we are looking for an Italian restaurant, we found three, one was already closed, maybe it was not very good, the second tinga waiting list and the menu was small. Today we went to Giovanni's, how wonderful, note 10.
