Stay away, stay very far away!. After trying this place TWICE, I can tell you there are far better choices for American Italian then Giovanni's. The breakdown: The meatballs in their spaghetti & meatballs were MICROWAVED to the texture of cardboard. They tasted more like bread crumbs then MEAT. The red sauce was MEH! (Better then jarred Ragu though).

The pizza has a lifeless and tasteless crust and undercooked vegetable toppings.

The salads are unoriginal with mass produced dressing.

There are FAR BETTER choices within 1-2 miles of this place, so save yourself the aggravation of paying good money for bad food, and go to Olive Garden or Bugatti's.  View Less

GREAT EGGPLANT , pizza , service , atmosphere.. Had a craving for eggplant . And it is HARD to find italian food around here, especially eggplant. Olive Garden and the Spaghetti factory were too busy . This place was also busy but I was too tired to drive anymore , so glad we stayed. What impressed me most was it was ONLY eggplant , when I want eggplant I want JUST eggplant . I don't want noodles , bread , soup or salad like Olive Garden gives you with a pitiful portion. It was DELICIOUS and definately satisfied my craving . My husband had a pizza and they liked that as well. The antipasta in the beginning shut the kids up , nice touch. LOVED it , SO glad olive garden was too busy or I might have never tried this place . Theres also a cool looking bakery right across the street (though this was late and it was closed ). Will be back .  View Less View More

Worst Pizza in Beaverton....if you get it!. This has to be the absolute worst place to eat in all of Beaverton. The last THREE times at this place have been HORRIBLE with the very last one being the one that made me write this comment. The pizza was BURNT to a black crisp and served by it's waitress to me like there was nothing wront...OMG! she has to be blind! The other 2 time were was terrible, I phone ordered my pizza on a busy Friday....40 minutes later..NO pizza...no order NO apology! The third time I am referring to this past summer, went in for lunch 30 minutes later asked where our food was after we noticed others get their lunch..NO FOOD! NO ORDER! NO APOLOGY...nothing........she lost the order and never said that she lost the order..asked if we wanted to re-order 40 minutes into a one hour lunch hour! NEVER again.........This place is a BIG fat ZERO!!!!!!!!!!

I beg my Beaverton friends......BOYCOT thisplace it needs a reality check, there are better palces to eat in Beaverton. Decarli's..Number ONE in my book for Italian!  View Less

terrific Italian. Growing up, my family always counted on Lido's Restaurant on Belmont as a terrific place to take out of town guests and supplement a family dinner with take-out. (My dad would be sent with the Kerr canning jars for the excellent soup) It was a fabulous alternative if you weren't in the Bay Area with your family. Well, Giovanni's is an excellent restaurant in the same vein. (I've always wondered if they weren't related as a family) Very good raviolis and gnocchi and real home cooking. The sauce is wonderful. The other critiques say the decor is very plain, but in their banquet room, they have a very nice mural. The restaurant itself has pretty much remained the same as it was back in the 50's, a "soda-shop" look. But, I don't care..it costs money to remodel and make things all aesthetic for everyone. The food is great and the service is too. And that's the most important. So, if you're in the mood for some good old fashioned Italian food, like you remember, this is the place to go.  View Less View More
