    Always a great meal here. It’s funny though, the restaurant had only two tables when we arrived, we were placed right near the other two. An empty place, but a cluster of three tables together. I would prefer to be separate until other diners arrived. Food and service were wonderful as always.

    The chicken parm is AAAMAZING. Everyone should try it at least once! The staff is also top notch and always go the extra mile to make us feel cared for. This has become mine and my husband’s favorites in Nashville.

    Hostess and maître d' were very nice. The person in the black vest who took our order had zero friendliness towards us and was less than helpful with questions. The restaurant is nice . The carpaccio was plain and did not have arugula. The eggplant parm is very small and costs $30 for what should be an appetizer not an entree. The pomodoro sauce was good but lacked salt and depth of flavor. The capresse was also 3 tiny tomato slices, 1 leaf of basil and 3 small slices of cheese. We had to request balsamic and olive oil. The bolognese was also on the smaller side and too lacked flavor. This is probably the most authentic we have found in the Nashville area but the cost is not worth what you get and what is lacking in flavor. What amounts to 3 appetizers, 1 entree and an iced tea for $160.00 is somewhat off when you can have a nice dinner at Urban Grub or Bourbon Steak for the same if not slightly more. Perhaps we ordered the wrong things but again the guy in the black vest was of no help. We don’t plan to return unfortunately and remain on the quest to find good and tasty Italian food that is similar to Boston, Chicago, NewYork or even Seattle.

    Date night and Giovanni’s was an excellent choice. Food, service and ambiance was excellent. Manager came by twice to make sure everything was perfect. Live piano music was a plus to the evening.
