Giovanni's Wine Bar and Italian Restaurant in Islington

Loved the pizza 🍕 Good starter as well. Table we were seated at was a little dark, but wasn't really a problem.

Not very good. We had the cotoletta, which was battered, not breadcrumbed, the meat was grey, it came with a side of spag bog, which is strange. Starters weren't fresh, all came from the freezer. Bread was bought, not fresh. Barolo was cheaper, too light and not worth £70. I spoke Italian and no-one spoke Italian back.

Fantastic authentic Italian food served by a very welcoming family style team. Such a gem in the City creating great food with a lovely wine selection at a reasonable price - make sure you go next time you’re in the neighbourhood! Deliziosio!

We went on a deal, the food was fabulous, interesting menu and the staff were so friendly. Loved it, do much better than the usual chain Italian restaurants.

I love this restaurant. The menu is fantastic - it has EVERYTHING! The staff are lovely, the chefs create incredible authentic Italian cuisine. The wine list is impressive. The restaurant caters for large groups. The seats are comfortable and the spacing between other guests is adequate. The bathroom facilities are very clean. This restaurant has a cosy intimate atmosphere. It is not noisy. It is perfect for celebrations and dates! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience.

I frequent Giovanni’s everytime I come to London for business. Probably 9 years now. Wonderful service, outstanding food, just a warm welcoming atmosphere. If you have never been, make the trip!

Myself and my sister had no idea where to eat as we were going to the Barbican. I'm so glad we turned too the direction of this gem. When we got there we was given olives and neither of us eat them, but we both tried them and they were so nice. Our main course's was very nice and staff were very friendly & welcoming. Will definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

Really lovely Italian, food was delicious. We were able to get a table without booking when everywhere else was full and they were able to cater for my colleague's dietary requirements. Friendly place and good pricing too.

Great restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Will come here again.

classic Italian style food and service. Not busy during lunch time. A little bit pricey for work lunch choice, but the food was amazing and staff were super friendly and helpful.My office is just across the street, will definitely come back!
