Giovanni's Restaurant

The lemonchelo is fresh, the Hefewizen is iced cold, and the ambiance is classy and hip. Very comfortable, clean, classy!!! The clams and Linguine was excellent a must try. We will definitely come back -

wonderful ambiance! we felt very taken care of and had such a delicious dinner. great menu options, you can tell the food is made with love and care.

Best pizza around. Large meat lover's pizza with 1/2 pound of hot wing's & garlic bread for $34.00, take out. Friendly staff with lot's of customers. Parking is tough.

Food was excellent-so was the service. My husband had the lasagna, and i had the kale/ artichoke rigatoni. It has such a cool industria/antique vibe. We would totally come back here, and we definitely recommend this place.

Had Spaghetti and meat sauce and the house Blond beer off the Tap.
They make the pasta in house everything was from scratch 🤤 so good!!
The house beer was really good!
Service was on point they guys went over and beyond because the meat sauce isn't on the menu!!

Went here for date night and it was excellent! We tried the special halibut, and lobster ravioli. The dishes were fresh and tasty. The service was wonderful. And the crème brûlèe was so good, that we ordered 2!
Can't wait to come back.

Went to Giovanni's to celebrate my wife's birthday. Decided to keep it local and came here for the 1st time. We really enjoyed the food and service here, the lobster ravioli was delicious, the clam linguine was good too! Our server was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and quiet. If your in downtown Covina this place is a gem. Definitely recommend Giovanni's for a nice dinner. Btw the cocktails were 👌🏽

A neighborhood family owned gem for some legit house made pasta. Scallop risotto was on point & better than Spago in Beverly Hills! Oh and the refreshing clam linguini, grilled salmon salad, and that bone marrow. service was warm & friendly. We had a birthday dinner there and everyone was happy!!

Celebrated a birthday here. The service was great. The food was freshly made with reasonable prices. I will definitely come back again.

Nice little hidden gem in downtown Covina. It's our first time here. Last time we were here, we couldn't get in because they needed a reservation, it was a Friday and the place was packed. We tried it again today without a reservation and it was ok. I guess it's a week day. we had the chicken masala and rigatoni with added sausages. They were fantastic.

They have outdoor seating also. Very romantic!

Food was delicious, Drinks tasty, and the beer was cold!

We were finally able to go today ….
Delicious food including desserts and Cocktails!!
The atmosphere extremely enjoyable , customer service was incredibly appreciated!!!

We are definitely going back!!!

Absolutely amazing!! The scallop risotto was spectacular, highly recommended and the old fashion was on point. Such a large selection of whiskey on hand is heavenly. Can't wait to try the rest of the new menu they have. Not to mention, the staff/service and ambience was wonderful

Our server, Gigi, was fantastic! A lot of fun yet professional making our experience very enjoyable. My only objection was the shrimp in my noodle bowl were over cooked. Just shy of very rubbery. My wife had the salmon dish. It was overly salted. Other than that, the meal was wonderful. My guests enjoyed their meals as well. They do serve large portions.

Everything I have had here is delicious and perfectly cooked. Love the outdoor dining.

Cool, stylish, modern yet with a traditional feel. It’s like your neighborhood specialty coffee shop except for California Italian food.

I ordered
- creamy pesto linguine
- Caesar salad app size

The food is really flavorful and smelled amazing. Certainly taste the quality of ingredients, particularly the olive oil for the bread. The salad dressing tasted like it was hand made and the lettuce and croutons were crisp with sauce well distributed with every bite. It was not app sized in my opinion. Very generous portion
The pesto had flavor that complimented the house made pasta nicely. I would have liked maybe some lemon zest or another acidic or salty component. I did pass on the cheese on top which might have sealed the deal.

Definitely would recommend for a date night or a night out if you’re looking for a place with great friendly service and great music. The vibe is wonderful.

I simply love this little Italian place that's not too far from my house. Food was top-notch drinks were excellent and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend this to anybody who's looking for a small quaint quiet Italian restaurant with excellent food!

Loved the place. The evening I went, I sat alone because I enjoy very much my time alone. The atmosphere was great and warming, though I thought it would be nice if they had Italian music playing in the background next time. Over all, the food I ordered was great. Awesome place.

The pasta tastes fresh and perfectly cooked al dente!! I had a taste of my fathers Alfredo pasta, it was so delicious, I had to take a "to go" order for my hubby!! I had the salad with a perfectly cooked blackened salmon 😋 👌 plus our server has now served us the 3X I've been there and he is excellent!! I will be coming back

I love this place! Fabulous recipes, the dishes that call you back - so delicious, quiet, pretty, family owned without the sometimes dusty artifacts, annnnddd open late. You will loovvee it!!

I guess the word is out, and you'll really want to make a reservation on a Friday or Saturday night! The staff does not shove every body into the restaurant that they could, they really value a relaxed, wonderful dining experience and not the pressure to quickly eat and get out that we've all experienced in other restaurants. Is it worth the wait? Yes and you can walk around downtown to make the time pass quickly. I've never had to wait as long as they're quoted though. Just get reservations, much easier!
Sunday through Thursday I've never found them necessary ;)
