   The downstairs is 100% the place to be. Great valentines experience although for the price would be nice if a small dessert to share was included

   Jovaninas did such an amazing job for Valentine’s Day! The curated menu was amazing as well as the service. We ordered the house special old fashioned and a dirty martini to start and they were phenomenal! The food was great and the som hooked us up with great wine. Overall highly recommend!

   My fiance and I found our expericene to be absolutely amazing. It wasn't till our host was leading us to our table that our excitement gradually increased. Walking down the candle lit steps, and then stepping into a room where it felt we both have entered into a new world. The ambience with the dim lighting, and the rustic feel of the room was very romantic (fitting for our anniversary!). This will be a silly comparison, but when we finally got a taste of our main plate, the braised bone-in Colorado short rib, I felt like a scene from Ratatouille. Each bite carried feelings and mellow colors to my mind that I haven't experienced before. Physically I was present in the restaurant, but mentally I was somewhere else. I didn't realize this part either, but subconscious I was even chewing slowly just to savor each flavor. We've only been to one other high-end restaurant, Nocturne, so our expectations were high, but I must say, we were completely satisfied and joyes as we left the restaurant. Thank you all for the unique experience.

   Jovanina's was fantastic - one of the best meals I've had in a long time dining out. Service was great and fast, and the atmosphere was so fun. Really cute inside. Our table was in the basement and we loved it. We will be back!

   Our server was busy but attentive and had assistance from other staff. The food was AMAZING! They did not have any N/A beer, some issue with their distributor. So I was bummed but they had lots of other drink options.

   The restaurant was busy but controlled, the restaurant was not able to accommodate a dessert to go. We enjoyed ourselves.

   Troy was our server, and he is the BEST! He made our first visit memorable for all the right reasons, and we look forward to our next visit!

    This was honestly the best meal of my life. Everything was perfect, from the cozy and romantic ambiance to the attentiveness and knowledge of our server, to every menu item we tried (burrata appetizer, lobster diavolo, short rib, and dessert). My favorite touch was the flask of negroni our server picked out for us that perfectly complimented the meal. I cant wait to go back- we want to try everything on the menu.
