Pizza is delicious here. I had a slice of pepperoni and a slice of plain. Both very good. Thin crust pizza. I also had a glass of chianti. It went well with the pizza. read more

tonight, I decided to dine here with my children and my African American foster children. No friendly greeting , staff looked bothered that we were there. We waited to be seated..at an empty restaurant. Which was really strange. The lady behind the counter was very rude She made it so obvious that she was racist No one came to check on us while we ate. Or to see if we needed anything. I had pizza left over. I had to walk to the counter to ask for a box... she hands me a bag! Really disgusting..I had to put my 4 slices of pizza in a bag... I'm still baffled at the disrespect and horrible service we received. Sad to think in this day & age .. We still encounter racism At a restaurant in the middle of Getty Square. There was no, thank you when payment was made. When we left, no thank you, come again. Never encountered such nastiness And racism read more

It's the new year and I was far from cheffing it up tonight so we settled on some delivery. Italian was on the brain so we called a few regular spots but due to the holiday, they were all no go. We looked to Yelp for a new restaurant with decent reviews and I came across Giovanni's. With fingers crossed, we called, hoping someone would answer and when we heard a voice we silently rejoiced. Hubbs gave our order to the woman who answered and she informed him that our delivery would take some time so we were prepared. About an hour after he called up our order I started getting antsy. The hangry level was at, "Concerned Tummy Growl" and we decided to give a few more minutes before calling them. Luckily, the delivery guy called a little later and said he would be arriving soon. Points given for actually entering our building to deliver our food instead of having us walk outside for our food. I absolutely hate it when restaurants make us leave our home to get our delivery; the whole purpose of delivery is to have a full meal brought to you while you're still in your PJs. Food was delivered to our door and the delivery person was very nice and personable; he shook my husband's hand! We've never had such a pleasant delivery, like, ever. The Grub: Chicken Parmigiana - the portion size is huge! There were four breaded chicken cutlets, doused with marinara, cloaked in mozz, placed just so, atop a California King of linguine pasta side. It's was cheesy and tasted ok. Spaghetti & Meatballs - the portion of this main was disappointing. They only gave two standard sized meatballs on top of the same large portion of linguine pasta. I would not order that again because it's just not worth it for what they serve. Disappointing. Fettuccine Alfredo - this was a generous pasta dish portion also. I've definitely had better versions of this elsewhere as it was lacking in the sauce. It was a bit dry and I was expecting creamy, cheesy pasta. Disappointing. Broccoli Side - this was supposed to be a veggie side, sautéed in garlic and evoo but the flavour of it was way off. The broccoli was overcooked and limp and it had the weird smoky taste. You could tell that they burned the garlic and instead of dumping it and starting over they just added the broccoli is which was likely pre-cooked and sautéed just like that. That burned flavour permeated every hand it tasted horrible. Disappointing. My rating is based mostly on the fact they were open today, we were informed when calling that delivery might take a while, our food was hot and the delivery guy was very nice. Bottom line is that they're a food service business and the food was severely lacking. Aside from the Chicken Parm dish tasting decent and the portion being so huge all of the other food was lacking in one way or another. We were missing a few meatballs, the alfredo was dry and the broccoli tasted burnt and was mushy. I doubt we'll order from them again which is unfortunate because I like having delivery options. read more

Giovanni's IV - From the top: Spaghetti & Two Meatballs (meh), Chicken Parmigiana (decent), Broccoli (burnt) and Fettuccine Alfredo (dry) - Italian Near Me - Yonkers, New York

The food is disgusting and very stale. I went over here with my family and I noticed the disgusting greasy tables and mice running over my feet is when I turned around and informed the owner about it he rudely got upset at me and had the audacity to tell me never to come back here again. read more

From the moment we walked in the woman behind the counter was rude, not personable nor friendly to the customers. In fact she behaved the exact opposite as if our presence bothered her. We ordered 2 pies to stay as we were told you get a free 2 liter with each pie. They took quite a while to sit us but the restaurant area was completely empty. We sat and ate. We asked for a pitcher of water and rudely she stated is that all you're drinking? Mind you the pies come with a free two liter. When we asked for the other 2 liter she refused and told us the pepperoni pie did not come with a soda. The atmosphere was very uncomfortable. They didn't give us enough plates and I asked for more plates, they gave me 1 plate. When we left I asked for a box as we had several slices left. They gave me a bag and told us they had no more boxes which is pretty hard to believe. No hello how are you, no how is everything, no thank you please come again. First and last time going into an establishment that clearly is not welcoming. They need a huge lesson in customer service. First and last time. If I could give zero stars for the customer service I would. The pizza was just okay, nothing to hit home about. read more

Great Italian Spot in the neighborhood! When I first walked in, it seemed like this is just a small pizza spot. When I checked out the menu, I realized that they serve pasta and a wide selection of other food as well! I ordered the Chicken Scarpariello with Pasta for lunch and it was very tasty. I went back for dinner because the owner suggested that I try the Penne Alla Vodka with Shrimp. That was one of the best decisions I made in my life!! Shrimp was very tender and fresh, pasta was al dente and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. Would definitely come back for future meals!! read more

Giovanni's IV - Chicken Scarpariello with Pasta - Italian Near Me - Yonkers, New York

After living in New York for 5 years, I've had slices from a lot of different pizza places. Giovannis IV is still my favorite and go-to pizza spot. The family is super nice and the atmosphere is charming and welcoming. Since moving across Westchester I still make the drive. Worth it. read more

Giovanni's IV - Large Grandpa's Pizza - Italian Near Me - Yonkers, New York

The guy who owns the business is so rude they didn't let us pay over the phone so we had to give them cash then got our order wrong and said that if we wanted our money back we would have to bring our food back and when we got there he started arguing with us about the difference between chicken fingers and chicken wings... we literally had to explain to him the difference. He said he's been in the industry for 30 years we've been in the industry for five and the fact that we had to explain to him right from wrong is super concerning. side note the wings were gross read more

Just received my pizza and this is what I got. Absolutely awful and the few pieces that were salvageable were tasteless and not worth eating. 10/10 would never recommend this place. Don't waste your money! read more

Giovanni's IV - Total disaster of a pie - Italian Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Was in the mood for some Penne alla vodka pasta so me and my Girlfriend cane here and we wanted a nice kinda dinner so we walked in towards the dinner side. Then the guy told us not to go back there because it was for people who eat a full dinner (which was what we wanted) he then told us to sit in the front so we did and then we ordered what we wanted. We weren't sure if he accepted card so we asked and he said "the minimum is $5 and as long as its your card" ( in our heads we got mad and starting thinking about how he was treating us) He was basically assuming we couldn't afford the food they had when the pricing was $ instead of $$$ we don't care how much it'll be and we can very much afford what we eat. The pasta was amazing the bread was cold that was served with the pasta but i am very upset about how he talked to us. He is very racist and impolite. read more

Chicken Frances of their lunch special, it's so delicious and affordable. Can't get any better than $11 for fresh pasta with a rich buttery chicken cutlet, everything in their menu is great from the pizza to the pastas. The owners are both very friendly and greet everyone with a smile, definitely worth the 10 min walk from my job both for the food and the service. read more

Giovanni's IV - Italian Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Date night at Giovanni's... I usually don't write reviews, but this one is well-deserved. We were headed someplace else, and this was a last-minute change of plans. So happy we ended up here instead of where we were initially planning. I ordered the grilled salmon, and he got the sole francese. Both were amazingly delicious. I'm very picky about my salmon, but wow, this was made perfectly! It was a generous portion, and I ended up taking the rest home, which I never do, and happy I did because I ate the rest the next day. From the appetizers and the sides to the espresso, everything was delicious. The owner and his wife chatted with us; they were warm and friendly and took great care of us. I highly recommend you try this little hidden gem on Main Street. I can't wait to go back and explore more on the menu. Give his culinary talent a try and order something more than pizza; you'll be happy you did. read more

I ordered last night for my children. I ordered a bacon pizza, fries ,and plain chicken wings for delivery . It took almost and hour to deliver and they are a 3 min drive. They did not give me a receipt , My sons pizza had the TIP CUT OFF, now because it look sliced off, although so many thoughts went through my head thinking maybe their co worker got hungry and slice the tip to eat I mean you never know I was willing to still give to my son because it was late they were about to close and he was hungry, well then I saw the wing were Buffalo and my step daughter was not going to eat it . I Paid 19 dollars for this meal for my kids , when I contacted them the owner said that I was wrong she cut the slice herself and that she would not be replacing my food , I was so baffled that she was telling me I was wrong and then she proceeded to say she would not be replacing my food nor picking the food back up to give me my money back! Then a boy got in the phone and told me to stfu that is what I ordered and to leave them alone. I am so disgusted I will never be ordering from them again ! read more

Great local Family run business. The owner and his wife made a total stranger new to the area feel welcomed and extremely comfortable. Their Linguini and Clam Sauce (White) was spectacular. I will certainly become a regular customer of this establishment. read more

Good food nice selection. The treat you nicely service very average. They have a pretty good selection. Decor is ordinary. read more

Excellent pizza, wide variety of options choose from! One of the few good choices in town! read more

Just plain terrible, cooked to death. Tastes like pasta sauce and cheese on top of a saltine cracker. Wish I could get my money back. Was so dry the crust broke off when picking up a slice. Could use the garlic bread to sand paint off the wall. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE I always ordered from here, but NEVER again. I called to order a pie. I started giving the man (no clue who the hell he was) my card number then realized I needed to add 3 beverages. I stopped saying my card number and told him the beverages I want and the idiot started yelling at me. Can you believe he got mad because I interrupted him taking my payment to add more items to my order. Then he's going to tell me he's been on the phone all day. I'm sorry, but are you on your period. Who gives two sh*ts if you're on the phone all day. Wouldn't you prefer to be on the other phone all day taking orders, and being interrupted to add more to an order so that you can make more money. Needless to say I hung up on him and placed my order somewhere else. I can't deal with idiots and I refuse to let anyone yell at me when I am spending my money. read more

This place is no joke when it comes to food. They make this penne alla vodka that is BEYOND OUT OF THIS WORLDDDDD!!!! If you're starving, they'll bless you here. read more

My favorite place. They have the best chicken cutlet and best pasta. I constantly order their wraps (almost daily).

I tried to like it, I really did... but I couldn't. HORRIBLE food. The Chicken Roll is made with a grilled chicken that tastes like it had soap in it. No seriously, soap. the pizza was bland and thin, and the stromboli was made with gyro meat. (even though the stromboli was made with gyro meat it was kinda tasty) everything else sucked though. Really really bad. go to pizza bella up the street or even zuppa. read more

My sister is a regular at this restaurant and while visiting her from Atlanta, I ate there with her one evening. I had the shrimp scampi and yes they have more than pizza!!! it was AMAZING! Freshly cooked on the spot. I will definitely order or eat here again when I am in Yonkers. The service is great and the owners are awesome when it comes to service, and they make you feel right at home. Auge read more

The food was so cold upon delivery. had to put the manicotti in the oven to let it cook as the middle was raw. It's as if I went to Target's frozen section and tried to eat one of the entrees without properly cooking it. After cooking it, it did taste good, so that's why the two stars. Had ordered a side of garlic bread, that had the toppings on it (butter, herbs, garlic, cheese) but wasn't cooked either. Guys, c'mon it was delivery, not Digiorno. I'm not saying you should never eat here. If you have time to go into the restaurant then you should. I'm sure it would be served at a perfect temperature and the dining in experience might be authentic. Who knows. Buttttttttt, skip this place if you have other options open for delivery. read more

Nowhere near as good as The Pizza Place. Our sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, garlic, onion pizza was bland, and the crust wasn't baked long enough. On top of that, the delivery guy shows up with just $2 in change forcing us to give him an extra large and particularly undeserved tip. If we weren't super hungry we would have turned him away. And if the Pizza Place were open this Labor day weekend, we never would have ordered from here anyway. Won't be ordering from here again.. read more

Giovanni's IV - Thumbs down - Italian Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Giovanni's RESTAURANT is a hidden gem!!! My daughter usually likes to pop in for their pepperoni slice, so when I needed a place to throw her surprise birthday party, their restaurant came to mind. Best decision EVER!! Bruno and Ben were extremely accommodating and made this one of the easiest parties to throw. The reservation was for 20 and they assured me that the family style order of ziti, stuffed shells (Highly recommend!!! #YUM), sausage and peppers (#Delish!!), and garden salad would be enough. Not only was the food amazing, it was MORE than enough and everyone left with delightfully full bellies!! They are definitely my new go to spot when needing or recommending a venue!!!! read more

The food here is good. The owners are very friendly. Prices are pretty reasonable and deliver is about half hour to 45 minute wait.

Ordered delivery from here and the food came very quick. The wings were very good, the garlic bread was superb (especially if you love garlic), and the pizza was great! I will definitely order from here again!!! read more

Food was AWESOME! I was craving Italian, and Giovanni was just what my tummy was grumbling for. Delivery was a little late but WORTH the wait! I definitely recommend the chicken parm and pasta. read more

I seriously don't get the negative reviews on here, especially about customer service. The food here is absolutely amazing, the owners are great, and always very accommodating! We don't just come here for pizza, although the pizza is pretty good, the Penne ala Vodka is my go to dish!!! I could literally eat it every night, and im sure reading this they already know who is reviewing because ordering their penne vodka has become somewhat of a ritual lately for me when im not in the mood to cook lol. When having it else where I usually compare it to Giovannis but so far Giovannis tops of my list. This has to be one of my favorite local spots to eat!! read more

Love this place. I order penne alla vodka or baked ziti with chicken cutlet a few times a month and tastes great every time. Delicious.

WAY TO GO!!!! Giovanni's IV in Yonkers, NY On April 18, 2015 I had a private party for my Women's Book Club. Ben and Bruno were the absolute BEST from start to finish!!! The price paid for the amount of food we received was well worth it! There were 20 women and not one was dissatisfied. We all left the establishment happy, filled and some were able to take food home (that how much food they served us). It was a family style setting, which was apropos to our Christian gathering! Our menu was Salad, Meatballs (which were heavenly), Penne Marinara, Chicken Marsala, Chicken Francesca, Salmon, and desert! Our server Yvette was a very sweet and friendly young lady! This place is perfect for private parties & family gatherings! I would easily have another gathering at this establishment. Kudos Ben and Bruno!! read more

They deliver to us and their food is good for what it is... fast food delivery Italian. Our fav is their shrimp parm.

Wanted a good vegetarian option so I went for the vegetarian wrap. Asked to add avocado, mozzarella and use balsamic with the wrap. When I got it, the wrap itself was soggy and falling apart, making it almost impossible to eat with my hands. I started eating the vegetables with a fork but couldn't finish because they were drenched in oil. I also didn't get the extras I asked for. I think they reuse the oil for the fries as well as they were too burnt and crispy and had an oily after taste. If looking, unfortunately this is not good for vegetarian options. read more

I just stopped by for lunch. I had the Pasta Fagioli, it was amazing.... It was one of the best lunches I have had in a long time. The owners make you feel like family, a great overall experience. I Highly recommend Giovanni's IV. read more

I absolutely love this pizza shop . The penne alla vodka is amazing and the best I've had in this area . Comes with Italian bread but sometimes i also get garlic bread along with it and it never disappoints. read more

New restaurant in downtown Yonkers, family has had restaurant in the Bronx for years. Brothers Ben and Bruno graciously serve you, one out front, one in the kitchen. Pretty decor, great food (spaghetti and meatballs - delish!), pastas, pizza, meat entrees, didn't have room for dessert. Charming and well-priced, just a couple of blocks from the waterfront. read more

The guy tells you he makes it fresh every time you go there. It gets old when you go there a few times a week. Owner will tell us 10 minutes and then we'll go and wind up sitting there waiting after 30 minutes has passed. Tonight after we called and he told us 10 minutes I got there after 25 and he told me just two more minutes and I waited 10. I finally said something and asked if he could just tell us 30 minutes or 40 minutes. He rolled his eyes, shushed me and condescendingly said, "calm down sweetheart, we make fresh for you." Giovanni's just lost a 2x a week customer they had for the past year. read more

I came here fairly regularly for a few years while I was living in Yonkers. I really only ever ordered their chicken roll because it was reasonably priced at $5 and -- as they'd remind me every time I called them -- they'd make it fresh for me. I lived right up the road so it was easy to just run and pick it up. It generally takes them twenty minutes to make one, but I've had several occasions where they greatly understated how long it'd take, and even a few times when I got there and they'd just straight forgotten to make my chicken roll. Recently, they've gotten a lot better about apologizing and giving me a free soda or something for the trouble. Aside from the chicken roll, I'm not a bit fan of their pizza and I've tried a couple of their entrees and they're nothing to write home about. Can do much better in the Italian arena at a plethora of other places in lower Westchester. The guys that work at Giovanni's IV have always been very friendly with me, but I've seen them treat women with a little less respect. Nothing crazy appalling, just a different attitude I've noticed over the years of coming. To sum up: If you're in the area and don't mind waiting a bit, the chicken roll is very good and quite a hearty size for a reasonable price. Can't really recommend anything else. read more

Giovanni's is my absolute favorite in downtown Yonkers for great Italian food! While you can always get a great pizza, the best choices are their dinner entrees. The chicken francese is delicious! The sauce is so good that you want to lap up every bit of it. Order it with linguine with garlic & oil and a side of broccoli rabe. Portions are generous so you will definitely have leftovers for later in the week. read more
