Gluten free options!!…read more We are so thankful Giovanni's offers gluten-free options! My mother-in-law has celiac disease, and we were literally seconds away from going somewhere else because we didn't realize there were gluten-free choices. I would highly encourage adding that information to your menu or advertising it more prominently. There are so many people who struggle to find safe, satisfying meals, and there's only so many salads a girl can eat! Now for the food... wow! The cheesy garlic bread with olive oil is absolutely to die for. The Pasta Trio was delicious, but the lasagna completely stole the show for me. It was so good that it's what I ordered the second time we came back! We had a party of eight, and every single person loved their meal. Great food, generous portions, and something everyone enjoyed. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be recommending Giovanni's to anyone looking for amazing Italian food. Especially those needing gluten-free options!

He took time going over the menu with us, making recommendations and checking back at all the right moments. My Grey Goose martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives were chilled perfectly. The rosemary bread was amazing! It didn't even need any of the butter and sauce that was served along with it. Nathan said the Serpente was a great vegetarian option. I decided to add lump crab meat on top. OHHH my gosh!! So amazing!! The ricotta was super creamy and the crab meat was a perfect match for this entree. The restaurant was elegant and had a romantic like setting. It was clean, quiet and the restrooms were probably the nicest I have ever been in. I loved the dark marble and decor. If you're looking for a wonderful dinner experience for a special night out, I highly recommend 61 Osteria.

Was a little sad…read morethat that it was not acknowledged although provided on the reservation with what we wanted as an appetizer and drinks we wanted to start with. Overall Exceptional Food & Incredible Leftovers! The food was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. To start, the calamari was cooked perfectly, but the absolute highlight was the brilliant addition of fried olives mixed in. It added the perfect briny, savory crunch that took the dish to a whole new level such a creative and delicious touch! For the main course, the pasta was rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The true testament to how great it was? I took the leftovers home, and it tasted just as amazing the next day for lunch. You know the food is high quality when it holds up perfectly as leftovers. Great flavors, thoughtful details, and food that keeps on giving. I'll definitely be back! Just please acknowledge if a guest is celebrating something special.

I have gotten my birthday cake from Emilia's two years in a row now, and at this point it's…read morebasically a tradition. This year was the classic tiramisu again and somehow I still wasn't prepared for how good it is. I ended up eating nearly half the cake myself. If you know tiramisu, you'll appreciate this one. The sponge is very soaked like super rich, espresso-forward, and honestly feels like drinking a glass of coffee in dessert form. I personally love that deep, juicy texture, but if you're someone who prefers a lighter, less saturated sponge, this might be a bit much for you. That said, it's absolutely worth trying. Just maybe start with a smaller size at the restaurant before committing to a full cake. This is exactly the kind of tiramisu I crave, and it's the reason Emilia's keeps being the birthday cake spot every year.

The service was quite slow between courses. We ended up spending over two hours total, which is far…read moretoo much time for any restaurant. The food itself was good. It wasn't great, but it was good. A disappointing part was that you pretty much have to valet your car. It's $20 if you're not eating there or in the hotel, and it's $10 if you are eating in the restaurant. That does not include your tip. It was restaurant week, so we thought we would give Emily a shot. What we found was that, because I wanted the sea bass, if we ordered off the menu instead of the restaurant week special, we would save about $20. That doesn't make sense.

Great atmosphere to have a drink at the bar while I waited. They have some local vodka, and as a visitor, I love trying local spirits. Very friendly staff. I placed an order ahead of time and got there before it was ready. They notified the cooks to push my order ahead and offered me the seat at the bar while I waited. If I'm ever back in town and want pizza, this would be a first choose since I only got to try one!

We had an amazing waitress in Annamarie who recommended the best drinks and wine pairings with our pasta we made. It was a great setup to be as intimate or socialize as much as you'd like. They taught us how to make pasta and gnocchi from scratch and also sent us home with our dough and some sauce and noodles to cook later ourselves I highly recommend the calamari and brussel sprouts. The calamari was fried perfectly very light but still had the crunch and the crispy sprouts were crispy and had a phenomenal taste with the Parmesan cheese

Loved it again…read more This is our second time here. As luck would have it, Patrick was our server again. He's super friendly and knows the menu well. He got our drinks, then a basket of warm bread with a plate of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Yummy! There were three of us tonight. We ordered as follows: - Capellini with Seafood - Branzino with Garlic Spinach (shared) - Il Modo Chopped Salad Wow - the food was amazing tonight. My wife and I shared the Branzino. It was a huge portion and real tasty. My son had the Capellini with Seafood and loved it. I tried it as well. Loved the spicy sauce. Then we ordered dessert. Here's what we shared: - Stratacelli Gelato - Tiramisu - Cannolis Wow - they were all good. I liked the Tiramisu the best. Note: they keep it well air conditioned here. Consider a light jacket or sport coat. We will return to Il Modo. Thank you kitchen team and Patrick for another great dinner.

Wait staff dressed uniformly. Dining area divided into sections, so we sat in a cozy intimate "corner" with a few other tables. Wait staff: Clean, neat and friendly. Our server was a WONDERFUL young lady named Jasmine. Very attentive, almost "intuitive", but not too intrusive. Perfect service. Food: Bread was nice, in house made garlic rolls with a light pretzel salt on top. I had Chicken Parmigiana, on a bed of thin spaghetti. My wife had the Lasagna. Portions were very generous. (I'm Cajun, so a "portion" to me usually feeds two. I was full and happy.) Chicken was fresh, hot, perfect breading. Marinara sauce tasted like homemade sauce, with a perfect amount and blend of Italian herbs. I had my wife's leftover lasagna for supper. (She loved it, but there was a lot.) It was every bit as good as my entree. I'm guessing that was ground veal. Wonderful! A gentleman I assume was the owner/manager came around to personally make sure the dining experience was good. Price was well in line with other sit down restaurants. (About $37 for both, and got 3 meals out of it.) Overall experience: I'd give it a 9.5, only because I don't give 10's. (Unless you feed me by hand, and wash and wax my car. HA!) We will *DEFINITELY* go back. (OK. I admit. That means I'll be harassing my wife to go back sometime this week. But, it really was GREAT!

For #DateNight my hubby and I drove down W. Magnolia until we found something interesting…read more We picked a quaint Italian spot that we will definitely visit again. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. It's BYOB or you can purchase a glass or bottle from the lounge next door and bring it back to enjoy it while you have your meal. They only take cash, checks or Euros, which we thought was cool because we still have some from previous trips to be able use there someday. I only removed one star because my husband was told the Limone E Spinaci was better than Alfredo, which is the type of meal he wanted, but he disagreed. He thought it was just okay. I said it was excellent, but that's probably because I'm lactose intolerant and can't have cheese like him. I was excited just at the fact of trying a forkful of his meal.

The patio dining is laid back and honestly reminds me of the neighborhood Italian spots I grew up going to in Chicago. The food is really great as well - the chocolate mousse is a must get.

The best part: I had a specific craving that wasn't on the menu (it likes "build your own pasta" from Romano's Macaroni Grill restaurant that is Grilled Shrimp on angel hair with veggie) and they cooked it exactly how I asked. The dish came out perfect and even better with high quality shrimp and veggies. You can tell the kitchen really cares. Cozy atmosphere, homemade taste, and service that makes you want to stay all evening. Highly recommend!

The restaurant is small and cozy. Twice we could not get in without a long wait. Other times we made reservations and did not need them. Best to be safe and call. Bar seating is also available if you want to sit there. The food was very good, we tried two of the dishes. They are Chicken Sunrise, and Veal Genovese, both come with pasta and the sauce on the meals are wonderful. Since we like these two dishes so much it is hard to try anything else. Bread rolls also come with the meal. Salad is extra, I had the Caesar salad. Started with an appetizer Escargot Provencal.... oh man this is good. Dip your bread into the garlic butter yum. The plates have plenty of food you will be full or take-home leftover. Nice glass of wine is good with the meal. Service was good once they were terribly busy, so the food came out slowly. But I understand the staff were working very hard. They only had two wait staff when we were there. Great place to go for a date or special night. Or anytime casual inside.
