If y'all are craving Italian food this is the place! It's a pretty small restaurant but don't judge before you try the food! We always went to Olive Garden but it's NOTHING compared to this. The service was amazing from start to end. We went on Mother's Day and my mom felt very special. They even gave her a rose. We never had amazing service like this before. We will be coming back for sure! We got the homemade bread, garlic bread, lobster ravioli, Fettuccini Alfredo (w/ chicken), Chicken Parmigiana, and Italian cream cake. read more

From the call to see how long the wait would be this place was great. Customer service was amazing, right away the staff was welcoming, made accommodation for our party of five. Mentioned the specials to us as well. This place was authentic from the food to the people. Super friendly and made us feel like we were friends. The place was small but cozy. The food was delicious. I had the lasagna and calamari. I recommend both! read more

Even when slammed for Mother's Day the hospitality and quality of the food is phenomenal. A very homey Italian spot.

08/24/2025 why have I not been back sooner?!! This place is still amazing! The bread was hot and delicious. Real Butter yum!! The taste of Italy was one of the specials. Lasagna, chicken Parmesan and Fettuccine Alfredo and a soup or salad. $20.99 what a deal! The food was fresh and hot. I swear no one has hit food anymore. The lasagna was my favorite! The chicken Parma was a very close 2nd. The Alfredo went home and I will add chicken tomorrow for lunch. I was stuffed!! Lots of folks were taking food to go. Perfect meal! It is byob. I will try to remember for next time! read more

My Dad wanted Spaghetti for dinner. I remembered he liked Giovanni's Spaghetti. This restaurant is conveniently located off Crowley Road. So, I headed there only to discover they were closed and open at 4 pm? I walked in and the owner quickly said, We are not open. Then the guy behind him said, come on in. Then the owner said, he will take care of you. Then, another guy said come, sit down, and he proceeded to turn the TV on. Then, he asked me if I wanted a drink. I said, 'Sure if it's on the house." Lol. He said, I'll make you some fresh Tea. I said ok. Then he asked, how the Tea was. I said, It's good!" He said , Do you need anything else? I asked for some lemons and he brought it out. I waited just a few minutes and my order was ready! The cook brought my food out with a smile. The waiter came and said, would you like a bag for that? I said, Yea, that would be helpful! Then he said, would you like some more Tea and filled my drink up! He also, wanted me to have a menu before I left but, he couldnt find one so he gave me a business card. He asked, if I wanted anything else. I explained, I was having soup and my Dad was having the Spaghetti. The waiter said, "I see." I ordered the Tortellini Soup. It was delicious. It wasy my first time ordering this kind of soup. It was not listed on the Menu. I asked for it. My Soup was loaded with oil Butter and Salt making it creamy and flavorful. My soup had lots of Pasta, Zucchini, and Squash as well. The waiter went above and beyond for me. He was so nice to me. He treated me like, I was a friend in his home. I don't think I've been to a restaurant where I was made to feel this way! Therefore, I highly recommend this restaurant not just for the service but for the great tasting food. read more

Glad we made reservations on a Saturday night. This place gets busy very quickly! We were greeted right away and the staff was very friendly! The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming! The staff checked on us regularly and they were very genuine! Felt like you were part of the family. This was my first time visiting a restaurant that allows you to bring your own bottle and I will say it was nice to do. We started with stuffed mushrooms and garlic bread, both tasty. They do provide complimentary bread, but you must try their garlic bread. I had the baked ziti with Italian sausage and it was delicious. The shrimp fradiablo was my favorite. The sauce was thick and creamy and the right amount of spice. We did choose a side salad with their tomato vinaigrette and it was really good. The tiramisu along with the coffee was a perfect end to our delicious meal!!!! I also loved that they did not overdo it with the chocolate sauce. I cannot wait to visit again and try another dish! read more

We have been here about five times, most recently for Valentine's Day. The restaurant feels like a mom and pop and the service is wonderful! I always order the chicken primavera with extra veggies instead of spaghetti. My husband gets the chicken Parmesan. Always incredibly delicious!! My favorite Italian restaurant ever! read more

The food is full of flavor! Their dishes are amazingly delicious! I'm not sure what's in the sauce but I enjoyed dipping my bread in it. You've got to try the desserts. Our server was sweet, courteous, professional & extremely attentive! The atmosphere is welcoming & cozy! I will definitely be going back to try another Italian dish read more

The food here is absolutely delicious. So glad we found this place. The server and the owner were very kind and accommodating. They were able to heavily customize every dish to our liking. The seafood with white clam sauce, the carbonara, stuffed mushrooms, and pink sauce chicken linguine was great, nothing was left over. The tiramisu was absolutely fantastic as well. Definitely coming back here and I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. read more

Great food, amazing service! My wife had the spaghetti and meat balls, I had the Chicken piccata and my son had pizza Alfredo! Everything was awesome! read more

The restaurant is so cute, the vibes of authenticity hits you the second that you walk through their front door. It is owned and operated by a true Italian family that instantly invites you in their "home" and welcomes you as part of their family!! The gentleman that served us is the son named Tony. He was so authentic and sweet (like every one of his family members) Okay now let's get to the nitty gritty and talk about how freaking amazing and authentic the food is!!! We had the calamari, house salad with the tomato based house dressing, fresh baked croissant, and the chicken parmigiana with a side of spaghetti and ended it with their tiramisu, not a thing that we ate was pre frozen or premade!! If I could give more stars I absolutely would!! This I can honestly say is our new "go to" Italian place!! I kind of do this review with reluctance because if people discover what a gem that this place is I worry that it will get too packed!! lol definitely check them out!!! But save room for me!! read more

Chicken Marsala and salads were good. Service was decent. Calamari was horrible. Like cardboard in chewing texture. No flavor as well.

The food was 4 stars: really good and a few things like manicotti I don't often see on the menu at other places. But I don't think it can overcome the ambience and setting for me. The staff seemed very nice but service was slow (getting menus took awhile, then a drink was forgotten and then the wrong one brought out). And the tables and chairs were wet from being wiped down when we were seated (at least we know they were wiped down?) The lighting was so low it became inconvenient. Overall, we were out with family and I feel responsible for selecting this option for dinner. It wasn't terrible, but I wish I'd selected somewhere different and I think that says a lot. read more

Dino took amazing care of us at our first time at Giovanni's. What the restaurant lacks in decor, it more than makes up for it in the food. We ordered the spaghetti with sausage and the chicken primavera. The marinara sauce is a classic flavor and meets all expectations. Adding cream to the Primavera was a first for us, but Dino mentioned it is more of a vodka sauce. Personally, I would have liked a standard lighter marinara with it, but the dish was still great. We also noticed they have a drive through option, which could get very dangerous for us! read more

We got food to go, but as always, it was exceptional! The owner and family were all there. They were extremely welcoming. The place was packed as I can imagine. This is due to the family who runs it and owns it and the exceptional job they do. The food was great as always. Fettuccine chicken Alfredo, the ziti with Bolognese and spaghetti meatballs were all great! read more

This was my first time trying this place I got a Caesar salad. The salad was almost expired. The croutons were stale. I also got fried calamari, which were also stale. They came with lemons that we're going bad already. My chicken Alfredo was okay. Won't be going back again. read more

Delicious food and excellent service. Thank you guys for everything and will be back soon!

I have to agree with our fellow Yelpers, Giovanni's is a great pick for a great meal! I was mostly impressed by the friendliness and the hospitality this family extends to its patrons. I was greeted with a big welcome and a big smile as I first walked in. I sat and waited for my friends to arrive and watched as they greeted all of their guests in a most personal way. I ordered the Tour of ITALY special and shared it with my friend. We enjoyed every bit of it, but I mostly loved the fettuccine Alfredo. His sauce is to die for! The bread was rich and the pasta cooked perfectly. The service was good, and the Tiramisu was made to perfection! Also, they allow BYOB, which saved us a lot of $ for sure! read more

The service was a little slow paced, the decor was a little dated but the food was great. We ordered the shrimp scampi and the pasta trio. They were both great. Piping hot flavorful and fresh tasting. For dessert I got a cannoli. The shell was crunchy and the filling was sweet and fresh. read more

We went there for dinner yesterday and we were pleasantly surprised! The mozzarella sticks , delicious!!! The calamari was good but we preferred it to be a lil bit crispier but it did have good flavor. I had the chicken Alfredo and it was very saucy , chicken pieces were good not over cooked. My husband had the chicken parm and he enjoyed it.. we also had a cheese pizza on the side and you can tell the sauce is not from can it tasted authentic and it was not overly acidic like the Olive Garden marinara.. we will deff be going back! Especially to try the homemade bread. Service was great too and everything came out fresh and hot. read more

All I can say this is the best and most authentic Italian food I've had here in the states, hands down! The service was amazing, owner greeted us as soon as we walked in and food was cooked to perfection. I had their supreme pizza and my husband had their shrimp alfredo pasta which was absolutely delicious. I tried coming back today ( Monday) from the San Antonio area and was disappointed to know they are closed on Mondays. We'll be back read more

Just finished dinner: really good chicken fettuccine, tender flavorful chicken piccata and garlic bread (buttery and crunchy). The service was so good - our server had a delightful Italian accent - and there was a steady stream of patrons and take out orders. We picked Giovanni's based on reviews. We were meeting someone for dinner and this had the best reviews close to the hotel. If we lived closer, we would be "regulars" - like many of the other patrons around our table. It was not too loud, but was comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere. read more

I went to Giovanni's based on the reviews from YELP and I decided upon pickup because I have a new baby at home, I don't live too far just about 10 minutes round trip. I ordered two Entree's, and they were both pretty bad... The sauce tasted like flour and milk.. I don't know how to explain it just overall not good. I was very disappointed as we were hungry, spent the money and had to leave to pick up. The service was good I guess, I mean they picked up the phone quick and we're friendly. The parking lot had enough space and wasn't busy on a Friday at 6ish. read more

Decided to try this truly Mom & Pop Italian place. "Momma" seated us and gave us our menus. The food here is terrific! I had the Veal Parmigiana and my wife had Chicken Parmigiana with penne pasta. Both dishes were delicious and huge. Plenty left over for another meal. We also tried their calamari. It was yummy and "rings" only! We will be back again. read more

This was the worst experience I have ever had at an italian restaurant. There food is extremely over priced and the taste was terrible. I never leave comments like this. But anyone that is looking for good italian food, don't ever try this place. I can not express that enough to never go here. read more

Looking for a nice pasta fix before the Cowtown marathon this was a great place to stop. Based on the reviews we decided to check out Giovanni's for a nice pasta fix. Once we opened the door, it was like walking into grandma's Italian kitchen. The smell was wonderful. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated. It became really apparent that we were perhaps the only customers in the restaurant that the owners did not know by name. The menu is very traditional and covers all the basics. The takeout business was brisk and we noticed at this location also does catering. Our server was super sweet and made some recommendations that were just wonderful. Their salads were crisp and fresh, the bread, warm, and crisp out of the oven with dipping oil was just to die for. Our pastas were wonderful, and the desserts that we took home with us were just fantastic. The restaurant itself is not fancy, and having been open for decades, probably shows signs of its age. Do not let the simplicity of the building or the condition of the parking lot have you overlook a fantastic Italian meal at unbelievably reasonable prices. read more

My wife and I were in the neighborhood and decided to give Giovanni's a try. I figured the number of cars in the parking lot were a promising indicator of the food quality. While the restaurant décor is a bit dated, the serving sizes are definitely generous and comforting. I love the feel of this family restaurant. Everyone who waited on us was so welcoming, warm, and helpful. My wife and I felt like we'd been invited to dinner with friends. The staff was so attentive to us and were pleased to learn we were first timers, despite how busy they were on the floor. My wife had the Chicken Parmigiana and the Ziti Bolognese. We ate till we were stuffed and still had plenty of delicious left overs. My wife and I look forward to eating our way through Giovanni's menu. Keep up the great work, y'all! read more

Giovanni's Italian Kitchen - Tortellini Baked (Cheese) - Italian Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

My wife and I took my daughter to Giovanni's Italian Kitchen for my daughter's birthday, last Sunday. Since it was Sunday, we spent a few minutes on Yelp* looking for a place to go eat. After seeing the higher star rating, my daughter settled on Giovanni's. Arriving to the restaurant, the first thing that we noticed was that the business is situated in a relatively older building, possibly an old pizza place. Anyhoo.... Entering the restaurant, we wondered if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated, since there was no signage. We also noticed how dimly lit the restaurant is and that there is a slight musty odor in the air. Again, older building... we were NOT dissuaded!! Given the Yelp* ratings and reviews, we knew we would not be disappointed! Our Server was Jacob; a colorful, lively and likable character who made us feel very welcome and very comfortable. Jacob really gave us an "old friend" kind of vibe, which was cool and made us want to come back, even before we had our meal. Giovanni's seems like the kind of place that has a ton of "regulars." For our food orders: I had the Pasta Trio (Lasagna, Ziti. and Manicotti) that I ordered with extra cheese and well done. My wife had the Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken. My daughter had the Eggplant Parmesan. As appetizers, we ordered the House-made Cheese Sticks and the Garlic Bread. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food! The unequivocal star of the meal was the Alfredo Sauce!! Suggestion to the Business Owner: Bottle it! Sell it! That stuff is YUM!!! My wife who loves Alfredo Sauce said it was the best she has ever tasted. I sampled a few bites from my wife's plate and I was convinced that, should I ever make it back to Giovanni's, Ima having Alfredo Sauce with ANYTHING!! Somehow my daughter ended up with my "extra cheese" on her eggplant and I was left wanting more cheese in my dish. No worries though, since it wasn't even realized until after dinner when we were conversing about our respective meals and my daughter exclaimed about her meal, "It was good, but there was quite a bit more cheese than I would have liked!" Me: :/ ...We all had a good laugh and called it No Foul, because the food really was delicious! We skipped dessert, because we were quite full and had a birthday pie to dig into once back at my daughter's place. Despite our first impressions, we all were very pleased with every aspect of our dining experience at Giovanni's. We all said we would enjoy eating at the restaurant again in the future. If you're debating giving Giovanni's a try, the answer should be a resounding YES! Eat well. Be well. Cheers! read more

Needed a quick carb up for a race the next day and Giovanni's delivered one of the best fettuccine alfredo dishes I've ever had. You can taste the homemade quality! Sauce was buttery and creamy! Noodles were perfect! I'll be back one day! Definitely recommend. Staff was also nice and friendly! You can tell it was a popular place for the locals. read more
