It's a nice, cheap but the service is slow and some of the food is tasteless. If you get a good one then you're doing well! read more

Giovannis - Italian Near Me - Crewe, CHE

See all

I visited last night with my mum and son. As we entered no staff were using PPE of any kind, we were not asked to sanitise out hands or given any detail of how they have changed their operation to be Covid secure. Nor were we asked for our contact details for the purposed of track and trace. Tables too close together in my opinion which meant we were sitting less than a metre away from people on the next table. Normal menus used as opposed to throw away, single use menus that seems to be the norm in most restaurants. We were served by three different members of staff which made me feel uncomfortable as they leaned over us. The food was mediocre at best. I could not wait to get out of there, I felt very vulnerable. If you want to eat out and feel Covid secure, do not go here. read more

Lovely food and wine and staff were very courteous. I was proposed to here last year so the ambience must be ok :p Everything seemed freshly prepared and cooked to perfection. The place smells delicious. The only reason for four and not five stars is due to the fact that our starter was forgotten and we had to ask another waiter who made sure it arrived promptly after that. They are very busy so one oversight is not too bad. Would recommend it. Unpretentious with an authentic air. Smart casual worked for us. read more

We have had meals at Giovannis a few times a year over the last few years. The service has always been excellent even when they have been very busy. The food, of course, is what keeps us coming back. The bread, pasta, and pizzas we have had have all been wonderful. The chef is very creative and works with high quality fresh ingredients. Good local beers and wine selection are a plus! The one time we had a small misunderstanding placing our order, the chef came over herself and straightened it out immediately. We have never been disappointed and always look forward to our meals here. read more

this is cheap and cheerful italian cuisine at its best! if you want to go out for a nice meal but are on a budget then this is the place for you. i love it here and have visited countless times over the years. the place has recently had a facelift to the outside - new signs and window displays and so on which makes it look a bit more modern but inside is still as traditional as ever. the smell of garlic as you approach it is amazing but beware - your friends will not thankyou for a couple of days after eating here!!! the restaurant can be both formal and informal - smart casual i would go for but you do tend to get people in here straight after work looking smart as well as people who have just dropped in on spec in jeans and tshirts. the restaurant is over 2 floors with the downstairs overlooking the chefs working at the big pizza oven and work stations. the service is usually ok - the place has always been pretty busy whenever i have visited so service has always been fine but you can tell the waitresses and waiters are quite busy! the menu is typical italian but there isnt the usual meat and fish dishes. they stick to what they do well here and everything is oven based pretty much - pizza and pasta with a small selection of starters and desserts. the food though is always of a good standard and you get plenty. the wines are also pretty nice - the house carafe's are great for sharing on the table. they have an area upstairs for functions and parties which is nice if there is a large group of you or if the group is particularly rowdy so as not to disturb other diners. the location of the restaurant is ideal. it is on the main throughfare from crewe to nantwich right by crewe station on nantwich road. there is a giant carpark behind the restaurant which you can use - it is council owned the carpark so double check that you dont have to pay if you get there early! (i dont think you have to pay after about 6 or 7 in the evening). overall this restaurant is really really good. it isn't a posh, 'stand on ceremony' type of place - its quite small and intimate, cheery and friendly and really great value for money. the closest italian to this is in nantwich or sandbach but this is completely different in every way from those. highly recommended. read more
