It's the only pizza that is not dripping grease, you know the cardboard box it came in is all greasy and gross. We are going to have pizza and salad delivered to night. I can't wait have been out of town for the holidays (road trip) and basically haven't had a decent meal in 4 days! Really looking forward to good Italian. Will let you all know how good the food is .

Depending on what you order, you are bound to bring home leftovers unless you come with an appetite for 3. Trust me! Especially the latter of what we ordered. So we got the meatball sandwich which was as expected, meaty, saucy, and the melted cheese on top was ooey gooey pull apart status. We also ordered the beef ravioli + spaghetti combo which was traditional and tasty, ravioli was cooked perfectly al dente. Last but definitely not least, was the chicken Giovanni- served on basically a heated platter, it had at least 2 breaded chicken breasts smothered in mushroom Alfredo with melted cheese on top and a separate plate of pasta w/meaty or mushroom marinara sauce. Did I mention not only were the meals huge but your meal also comes with soup or salad and a slice of garlic bread? O_O Service was friendly, the place was packed full of dine-in patrons and people picking up to-go orders ... you know a good staple when you see one, and Giovanni is definitely the Italian gem of Beaverton. Can't believe we slept on this restaurant all of these years. We'll definitely be back to try some other intriguing sounding dishes!

Our order came out fast, but it helps to be outside the normal meal times. the fried mozzarella sticks are addicting, don't say I did not warn you. They now have a "speakeasy" which is really fun. they even had some old Sinatra and Martin playing while we were there. I will be back, it's quite a bonus to have a meal and shop at the grocery outlet right next door.

We started with a savory popover with charcuterie, then moved on to a scallop appetizer, seafood plate, spaghetti with morels and a napoleon for dessert. There was also a grapefruit ice palette cleanser. I ate everything with relish. This is the French way of eating, small plates which go together and space out the delights over the evening. All the ingredients were seasonal and fresh. The café is rather small and intimate, with mid-century decor and a friendly chef. I would not bring a large party as it's a small, home in the wall. Imagine you are in a small Parisian bistro and let yourself enjoy every minute.

They had a brisk dinner service for a random Wednesday at the Beaverton Round. Our service was the perfect amount of attentive and knowledgeable. The seasonal specials were creative takes on Italian classics. We chose the bistecca and pesce. The seasonal pnw fish was sole and so tender and crisp paired with perfect spring snap peas and asparagus. The calamari was a decadent start to the celebratory meal. So light and crisp and perfectly paired with the chili aioli. We will definitely be back for date night as I can't wait to try their salads and pizza.

We tried the mozzarella sticks, pizzaghetti (it is exactly what it sounds like and is so good!), and chicken bacon ranch pizza. Would get all again for sure! With a large menu and seasonal dessert options there is always something new to try. Cute ambiance for a intimate date night or a large get together!

The service is really good and they work hard to make everything enjoyable and get your food as quickly as possible, even when they're busy. We really like the ambiance and atmosphere with the dimmer lighting. This is a great spot for an Italian date night! Sometimes they have an accordion player to provide entertainment, he will even perform requests if he knows the song you're asking for. Highly recommend the lasagna and fettuccini Alfredo! There is a takeout section on the street side of the building and their pizzas are delicious! There is a covered and enclosed outdoor smoking section off of the cozy bar for smokers.

Our daughter LOVES this Italian restaurant, so we thought we'd give it a try. It didn't disappoint!…read moreI immediately had to use the restroom upon entering, there were 2 individual restrooms. Very clean, updated & smelled freshly cleaned. (You can tell a lot about a restaurant just from their restrooms and condition of menus.) I was craving crab or lobster, only being satisfied by the coastal restaurants, so I was eager to try the Lobster Ravioli. The flavor of the sauce, the fresh veggies mixed into the sauce, the size of the raviolis... AMAZING! My entree was $25 and worth every penny. I ordered a Strawberry Mojito which was $10 and delightfully refreshing. My husband only eats Lasagna when dining out for Italian. He ordered the Lasagna Bolognese, let me add he won't eat tomato chunks. There wasn't a drop left of his meal. He thoroughly enjoyed every single bite of his entree. His entree was also $25 and clearly worth it. Our server was Jassiel. We had a short discussion about the history of the restaurant. It is family owned & operated by both of his parents, as well as he & his brother as serving/bartending. The customer service was so sincere & upbeat, we'll definitely be dining here again.

While downtown boasts quite a myriad of Italian dining options, I happened upon an establishment…read morethat truly stands apart from the rest. While the physical footprint appeared somewhat more intimate than I had initially envisioned from the street, the sheer caliber of the culinary experience left me thoroughly satisfied. The venue offers the utmost versatility, beautifully accommodating guests for both delightful alfresco dining and a highly sophisticated indoor experience. Upon crossing the threshold, one is immediately greeted by a marvelous, curated display of artisanal cheeses and traditional imported provisions. It lends an unmistakable air of true authenticity, instantly evoking the spirit of a genuine European establishment. The space features a beautifully structured small bar, complemented by the comforting warmth radiating from the kitchen. Admittedly, the sheer volume of displayed specialty items felt a touch overwhelming to my eye at first glance, but the rustic charm of the environment quickly won me over. For my refreshment, I requested an Orange Creme Soda a delightfully crisp choice. For the dinner courses, I selected a selection of fine cheeses followed by the Fusilli Alla Vodka. The culinary execution was an absolute masterpiece. When the entrées were presented to the table, the entire atmosphere shifted, evoking the deeply comforting, elegant essence of a private estate. The flavors were utterly flawless, rich, and perfectly composed. This delightful find has completely captured my favor. The seamless combination of authentic flavor and nostalgic warmth was an absolute treat, and I shall most certainly be returning for future evening meals

The food was freshly prepared and served promptly to the table. They have a selection of alcoholic beverages as well.

Definitely would visit again if the occasion arises.
