Reviews of Giovi Fine Food
J.
Stunning place to eat classic Italian food, with super friendly staff and great service. We ordered pasta and pizza, both delivered really quickly and delicious. You can eat a great plate of pasta while listening to Italian music 🥰
For dessert we ordered the Tiramisu, authentic Italian dessert. Would go back, absolutely!
L.
Delicious gnocci!!!! Soft and light! I couldn't enjoy enough the house wine because I was driving, but a glass was enough to appreciate the dish! Fast and welcoming service. Certainly, I'll be back! The pic don't go even close to the flavor. I was enjoying outside table in a beautiful sunny day. :-)
R.
Amazing Amazing food, drink & customer service!
This restaurant gives me a reason to come to Frankton/Queenstown that's just how good it is!
k.
Lovely welcoming busy joint with some amazing food. We loved every morsel we ate !!!! Angelo is funny and a great host!
M.
We went for lunch at Giovi. I got a chilli macheroni and my husband got a pizza. They were super yummy!!
R.
I would really recommend Giovi, we had a fantastic meal here. The trio pasta is a really good deal, and all three pastas were delicious, as was everything else. The atmosphere is also really lovely. I almost wish we were staying in Queenstown for longer so I could come back and try more of the menu!
J.
Traditional Italian food, home made pasta and fresh ingredients skilfully prepared for a delicious and authentic taste. Worth the short car journey from Queenstown centre to Frankton for some of the nicest food in the area.
A.
We had beautiful mains and desserts. Really enjoyed their sparkling wine. Angelo was Manager and very good at his job.
A very enjoyable experience.
S.
Amazing!! Beautiful Italian food, service 10/10 by local Italian family whom make all their food with love & so passionate about their food & their wine from Italy. Thank you for a wonderful evening, from the Team at the Holiday Inn Remarkables Park. 🙌👌😍😘
L.
The best Italian I have ever had! Myself and my partner Zac ate here about 5 minutes ago and can’t stop raving about how good the food and service is (we have already told all of our friends and family to go here). We ordered two pizzas, the lasagna and the carbonara gnocchi and we could not get enough. Very well priced and will definitely be going back for more next time we are down from Auckland. The owner Giovi has amazing customer service and has created a warm, welcoming environment. Seriously, if you are in Queenstown GO HERE!
H.
Amazing authentic Italian food. The pesto pasta and the capri pizza were amazing. The staff were really welcoming and the ambience was great!! Definitely try this place here in queenstown.
K.
We called in for lunch and ordered a pizza, washed down with a red wine, imported from their winery in Italy. Both the pizza and wine was spot on. It was a case of feeling like we were right back in Italy. The friendly Italian banter between chef and front of house brought a smile to our faces. Certainly recommended.
X.
Super fresh pasta, amazing pesto and gnocchi, veg lasagna was simple and tasty. Passed on the $15 (?!?) piece of chocolate cake, but everything else was reasonably priced, and well worth it.
Highly recommended.
y.
We enjoyed every dish we ordered…beef ravioli, lasagne, cheese ravioli and pasta with basil pesto. Just good honest italian food, and great service. Highly recommended.
P.
What a gem! The best italian in Queenstown hands down, so authentic and delicious. Staff took the experience to another level, so friendly and welcoming and with a great passion and knowledge of the dishes. We had an excellent night, thank you 😊
C.
Delicious pasta and gelato! We had beef ravioli with butter sauce and a spicy red sauced pasta. The red wine wasn’t very good so I would pass on that next time. We finished with a caramel Oreo gelato that was amazing! Very friendly staff and prompt service as well
C.
We had an incredible dining experience at Giovi over the long weekend.
The food was just perfect - authentic, flavourful and hearty. Clearly a lot of love has been put into the menu and everything was prepared with care. The pizza and tiramisu were the highlights!
The service was friendly and attentive; there was an issue with our booking but they managed to seat us anyway in the fully booked restaurant which we very much appreciated.
We will be back and will definitely be picking up some pasta to cook at home.
D.
We had a fantastic meal at this restaurant. The food was authentic and fresh. Great service. I just wish this restaurant was in my city!
J.
It was amazing the portions where prefect, the gnocchi melted in your mouth and was super tasty, the pesto pasta was super good too cooked perfectly and the pesto was delicious.
M.
What a gem right at our doorstep.
Friday night we celebrated our niece Danielle's birthday with family... a large party of 13 adults and 7 children which is always a concern where ever we dine.
When entering Giovi... I did think how on earth would they cope with such a big crowd in such a small place, well I needn't worry as from the moment we arrived we where greeted with lovely smiles and made to feel that we are welcome. Food was lovely everyone enjoyed there meals the children where well looked after, and never once felt like we where a hassle. It actually felt like we had gone for dinner at our aunties home for home cooked dinner and great company and lots of laughs.
GIOVI is a must go to for awesome Italian atmosphere and food.

Giovanni always makes our dinner very special when we go to Giovis. The food is Amazing authentic Italian food and the service is amazing, Would highly recommend!!
E.
Amazing, friendly and fast service.
Delicious and wholesome food.
Excellent vegan options.
Best pizza in Queenstown!
A.
The best pasta in NZ!!
always amazing customer service, unbelievably tasty food and just the most friendly environment!👍
N.
Wonderful Italian restaurant with delicious homemade-style dishes. I've visited every time I've come to Queenstown and never been disappointed. The spaghetti bolognese and spinach ricotta ravioli are great. Their pizza and gelato are good too. Would love to see them deliver their dry pasta to the North Island.
It would be great if they did a pasta and gelato deal for lunch.
I.
This is the best Italian food I've ever had. Very friendly owners and staff. Delicious meals and delicious desserts. When I have a long day, the spaghetti bolognese takes me away from my problems.
P.
Can't get to Italy this year but a visit to Giovi is the next best thing. Freshly made pastas - the pumpkin almond ravioli was heavenly - plus some of the most authentic pizzas in town. Just make sure to leave room for the tiramisu!
M.
The pasta here was very good, and we especially liked the carbonara sauce. The sharing plate with three pastas and three sauces was plenty for two people, so it's a way to try a few varieties. The menu has a good selection.
G.
One of the best dinners we have had in NZ and certainly the best Italian!
The Gnocci was insanely good and great value! My Wife had the Gluten-Free Pizza and said it was delicious. Will definitely be going back on our next trip to Queenstown!
R.
Went to Giovi on Friday night for a family dinner. We had a group of 13 adults and 7 kids. All the staff were welcoming, friendly & on the ball the whole night. Nothing was an issue and they were amazing with the kids aswell. We often struggle to find somewhere suitable for group dinners so we will 100% be back. They treated our family like theirs and they even made a cake for the birthday girl. Thanks everyone at Giovi, we will see you again 🙂
C.
Absolutely delicious authentic Italian food. The service was amazing! Will be back very very soon.
P.
Yummy yummy banana split and affagato desert.
Had the meat platter which was amazing.
Spaghetti Bolognese was delicious and large serving. Pizza was so good, crust was made of magic
Highly recommend, good service and super lovely people
Thank you, it was really good. Will stop by next time for another taste of Italy.
R.
What a very special place to eat - THE BEST, yummiest, freshest, Italian food- truly made with love!! This beautful team of passionate people make us feel like we are in their home and being loved with every mouthful! EVERY dish, and every mouthful of delicious pizza, pasta AND real Italian Gelato is to groan in pleasure for!!' We are locals in Queenstown and we eat here 2-3 times a week becuase we LOOOOOVE it!
J.
I have eaten at Giovi Italian Restaurant twice now and it will be my restaurant of choice from now on. Both times the pasta dish I selected was absolutely gorgeous and so addictive that I really wanted to keep eating. My family have eaten there also and the rather fussy children demolished their meals, disappointing their father who hoped he would get their leftovers! The service was very welcoming and you feel a real family vibe there. I look forward to having a long Italian Sunday lunch there soon with some friends. It is worth noting the wines served are from Giovianna's family vineyards in Italy to add to the authenticity. Do not hesitate - get to this restaurant!
M.
Absolutely beautiful food both the pasta and the pizza. Top notch service!
M.
I ate here on a trip in mid-December. Absolutely delicious, authentic, no shortcuts, highly recommend.
Not only is the food prepared to an exceptional standard, but the owner and staff demonstrated sound knowledge of their menu.
Fast and pleasant table service in a cosy, well thought out environment.
I really enjoyed the Gnocci, I would encourage you to ask for reccomendations as there may be a new creation in the works.
G.
Had lunch at Giovi today. OMG. Stunning food. Great menu. Chose the silkiest ever Gnocchi with a Bolognese to die for. Italian food has never tasted so good. New restaurant with heaps of parking. Big family table in the window and smaller tables elsewhere. + a busy takeaway lineup.The majority of restaurant patrons were Italian..... that alone must be a serious endorsement. Clean, fresh awesome service with seriously great food. I've worked in Italy and that lunch today was the Best Italian dish I've ever had. Go there.
B.
Amazing Father’s Day treat of Tiramisu from Giovi’s.
Fantastic food. Thanks team!
D.
A wonderful experience fantastic meal friendly staff and Gelato that leaves you dreaming of more.
A special thanks to the owner who spent some of her busy day showing us her family winery.
Returned with family and enjoyed a bottle of a very nice red. Can't wait till we return to Queenstown and revisit.
Highly recommended
J.
Had a margherita pizza and was a bit disappointed with it. It had only one leaf of fresh basil. It kind of felt like just a cheese pizza to be honest. But the crust and the pizza itself was really good though! I think I will order a different kind of pizza next time.
J.
It was delicious and came really fast plus the waiter was really nice
-exceptional
M.
It is the best Italian restaurant that I’ve been to in New Zealand. Pizza tastes like in Italy, tiramisu is the only restaurant-made that tastes like my mum’s and pistachio ice cream was the best that I ever had. It was worth driving from Wellington to Queenstown just to have this meal!:)
T.
The most amazing food! The most amazing hostess personally looking after all guests! You are welcomed, you are well fed and looked after with so much heart! This is a true hospitality that should inspire the industry! All in all - delicious food, delicious wine and great people! You simply can not go anywhere else without stopping here first!
Thank you so very much, Giovi! Will certainly be back!
Veronika & Dmitry
M.
Absolutely scrumptious meal! No need to go to Italy for authentic italian food. Amazing wine and warm atmosphere. Will be a must stop for us everytime we come to Queenstown. Thank you so much team 😁
A.
Definitely worth the walk from the airport. The pasta was amazing - not too heavy and one of the most authentic I've had in NZ. The gelato was also to die for - the waiter recommended the lemon cookie and it did not disappoint, 2 BIG scoops for $6 felt like daylight robbery. Such friendly staff as well, cannot recommend this place enough!
T.
The best food I've tasted in Queenstown in many years! Melt in your mouth flavours and textures; you can taste the quality and the love & care with which everything is made. Giovanna is so friendly and welcoming, it feels like she's your Mum! Cannot recommend highly enough.
A.
Lovely authentic homemade Italian food with great service . All of their ingredients are homemade or sourced directly from Italy . Great potion at a great price as well . Loved their carbonara, ravioli , lasagne and focaccia !!! The service was absolutely amazing with friendly staff that created a highly authentic Italian atmosphere.
S.
A Gelato Experience everyone should try. Not only are you going to be served by Genuinely nice people. You will get to dine on great tasting food. Set in Remarks Park where you can enjoy the peace and quiet and Remarkable Views.
M.
Awesome made-from-scratch food by an Italian family. The pasta has a great texture and the pizza base is perfectly crisp. Gelato was great too and very reasonable for two huge scoops! This is a new go-to when flying to Queenstown.
p.
The angus beef Ravioli with butter sauce was delicious & the staff were amazing,
I will definitely be coming back to try more of the lovely food again, & make time to try the desserts 👍
P.
Highly recommend. Incredible pizza and pasta. The hosts were so lovely and great with our kids. Definitely an authentic Italian experience.
A.
The food absolutely amazing. I’ve so far tried their pizza, focaccia, ravioli, gnocchi and gelato. All of it is exceptional. I don’t have a favourite because it’s all so good.
F.
