Every time I go. No matter what I choose to eat. It's always good. Want excellent pizza? Try the Gio Special. It was so good and cheesy and DELICIOUS! Served with a small pile of pepperocini's on top. Anything you order there is delicious. Enjoy!! read more

We had the pleasure of attending a birthday party at Giovanni's recently. There were about 25-30 people who attended. The food was very good, and plenty of it. We ordered off the "Lite" menu, and we still brought home leftovers. Our server, Athena, handled our group with ease, and got the different orders correct. She always had a smile on her face, was very professional, courteous, and an overall joy to be around. She did a fantastic job, and a lot of guests commented on how great she was. We highly recommend Giovanni's. read more

We uber eats delivery because we were lazy pieces today! Let me tell you I am BLOWN AWAY at how hot and delicious everything was. Fettuccini Alfredo and fettuccini pesto were massive and rich. We ended up mixing the two pastas which was even better than their stand alone. Can't wait to try more and eat in next time. Sorry for the photos! We were half way done when I remembered HAHA read more

Please bring back the carbonara pasta! That was our absolute favorite and we were so disappointed to learn that it's no longer on the menu. We promised to eat more of it!!! read more

I moved to Beaverton in 1978 and Giovanni's had been around for a few years already. Over 50 years later, the place hasn't changed and, thankfully, the food hasn't either. They still offer up some of the best Italian dishes you'll ever find all due to an almost addictive tomato sauce that is the basis for so many of their dishes. A restaurant doesn't stay in business for 50+ years unless they have something special. Giovanni's food is a testament to longevity in this business. read more

Giovanni's - Cannoli for dessert at Giovanni's. - Italian Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This was my first time visiting the restaurant and I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious. We have just returned from a trip to Italy and I was craving good Italian food. This definitely met my expectations. Very cozy restaurant with great service. Lots of choices from pizza, pasta, and a variety of other selections as well. read more

A-ok! Drove by it a million times and finally stopped in. The food is decent, we got the canneloni with chicken pasta soup and added a meatball. Although, the tiramisu was too sweet and dry. Service was fine. The interior looks like it's from 1995, but in a homey-nostalgic way. Plenty of parking in the back. We were surprised it was full on a Wednesday evening. read more

A solid Italian restaurant with no frills- just straight tasty, hearty Italian portions/serving size at a decent price with traditional recipes, nothing fancy. 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! read more

Food was lacking flavor flavor, Fettuccine with Alfredo sauce needed pepper. Cannoli's were too sweet. read more

We ate here a couple of months ago the service was good and the food was excellent. Since then my husband has had Giovanni's pizza delivered to the house. 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 . read more

We go there on weekend once in a while. They're not very crowded on Sunday. We got seated immediately. I like their food that is not super salty like some other Italian restaurant. The pizza is loaded with toppings. Pasta portion is very big. My mom and I can't finish our dish. We get to take them home to enjoy the food the next day. read more

I don't usually like to do reviews on delivery orders on yelp, but every now and then you get a place that their food is way incredible. I had to rave about this place because of that. I ordered Shrimp Alfredo and a pizza. I've never been there but I imagine the Ambiance there is amazing. This is a must go to place. So me a favor and try it if you want real Italian food. read more

I had never had a bad meal at this restaurant. In the last 20 years, but yesterday I did. I came in with my son and grandson. My grandson had tortellini, which he enjoyed very much. My son had Lasagna which he enjoyed very much. I had a chicken parmesan sandwich, which I did not enjoy at all. First off, what's with the sauce in a bowl? The sauce goes on the chicken patty, which should be soaked in sauce and then cheese on top of it.But no, it was like you left a bunch of stuff off.Anyway, I now know not to order or recommend that item. I grew up in NE New Jersey 7 miles from mid town Manhattan and grew up on proper Italian food so I can tell you this was weak. read more

I Love their food the chicken soup is clearly home made and the sandwiches are an amazing deal. They have spumonie that is a scoop of each, cherry , pistachio and chocolate. I will never feel the same about the mixed spumoni. read more

I wheel in the front door the doors are hard to navigate you open one door you go uphill to the next door. Awkward. I have been here before there are always people waiting in line for to go orders for pizza. I wait a minute or two and I am seating. My seat next to the front door facing a wall. I asked if I could be seated at another place they said if you can sit in a booth if not this is all we have. I take the seat facing the wall. I asked to be seated in the back area I was told it was not open. Only a few minutes later they open the back area literally I was served water at that point my wine did not arrive nor my wait person. I ordered the spaghetti and wine. The wine Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola. A red wine at first I smelled diesel fuel... just sitting in the glass. But it opened up as the meal progressed. Turned out to be a decent wine. It is from Southern Italy, Sicily. All respect to the wine makers and the choice from Giovanni's. The wait staff part of the family very knowledgeable about Italy they still have family in the heel of the boot. The spaghetti and sauce. I had ordered half mushroom and half meat sauce. I could not find the meat sauce. So I guess that there was an error on the delivery. The spaghetti itself lots of water in the base of the plate. Overall I would not order that again. The garlic toast. Is that toast or even bread? The decor some really nice pictures on the wall. The music drowned out by the noise. Most of the staff dressed run slightly worn black clothes. Never been my favorite but the customers all seem happy and even the dinners. The wait staff knows the menu. Will I ever go back... yes for the pizza. read more

Giovanni's - Spaghetti with half mushroom sauce and half meat sauce. - Italian Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

I don't crave pizza often which is likely because we really do not have great pizza options around. It is mostly a creation that is not horrible but just makes you long for really good pizza. My expectations are pretty low when I am craving it. I wanted an ok pizza delivered and when scrolling through the app for some food delivered I decided to give Giovanni's a go because the used the magic word 'cannoli' and that is something I cannot get at any other pizza place, to the best of my knowledge. I have to say that if I was going off the cannoli alone I would be reporting five stars because those were amazing!! Something I cannot forgive is burnt pizza... the smell alone. That is what was sent to me and for the amount of money the charge for pizza that pisses me off more. It also means I am not going to bother trying to go to your restaurant again. I ordered a margarita figuring I was in for a treat from a place I had been meaning to try for awhile and was excited until it arrived. It is even worse for delivery because I am not going to stiff my delivery person for the restaurant screwing up so now I have no dinner or have to pay to get something from somewhere else pushing out food etc... when at a place you can complain and send it back. I was genuinely shocked seeing a near BLACK pizza when I opened the box - like what did I do to piss of the cook because this is not just slightly overcooked but BURNT... I have included photos. read more

The food is fantastic, the service is top notch! Very cute restaurant with cozy booths and tables. Great place for the best Italian. read more

Our family of five and a half, including a 9-month-old who loves bread, enjoys Italian food, and our first visit was delightful. Our server provided helpful information, mentioning that the portions are large and can be shared. The food was tasty, and the service was excellent. The ambiance suits the location well; I wish it were larger to accommodate bigger parties more comfortably. Overall, our first visit was successful, and everyone left satisfied and full. read more

Not the Giovanni's of yester year. Horrible spaghetti and an hour+ wait with a reservation.

We love the pizza here. Never had a bad one. The place is old and reminds me of nonnas. But the food was good.

Packed hot and amazing check it out. I just moved to Beaverton I'll hurt my feelings if you don't go. if you think you're cool and know a lot about pizza you need to come down here and get educated absolutely amazing in my belly will show you soon read more

Hidden gem!! The pictures made me skeptical but when I tried the food, it was delicious! The pasta was not greasy and good portion, rich In flavor. The meatball sandwich was really good as well! Customer service was top notch:) super friendly and attentive. The ambiance is really chill and old school vibes, like in the movies where the family gathers after a game. Good quality food and does not break your wallet! People over hype other Italian restaurants but so far this has tasted the best. The food menu is simple and tasty. 100% coming back:) read more

Randomly stumbled upon this place when we were looking for Italian restaurants in the area. They quoted us a 20-25 min wait on a Saturday night, but we probably waited no more than 10 minutes before they seated us at a booth. I ordered the fettuccine al pesto and it came with a side salad and garlic bread. I upgraded to cheese garlic bread. If you like cheese - ask for the upgrade because it's worth it! It was about a 40 minute wait for our food once we sat down, but it didn't feel that long because we had side salads to tide us over in the meantime. Service was excellent and they constantly kept my water glass filled. Come hungry because the portions are BIG. If I could eat here again, I'd definitely get the pizza instead. I saw another table order some and it looked delicious. Parking is available in a small lot outside the restaurant. If you don't see any spots open, just wait a minute and someone will leave because I noticed they do A LOT of takeout orders. Last thing is the place smells amazing - tons of garlic in the air. read more

Great service. Tasty Food. The staff was awesome and food was ready in a timely fashion.

My review of 3 stars is because of the girl in front who takes your name before you get a table behind the register Today 7/19/25 at 6:45pm, the exact time is for you Nick C, (owner) to figure out who was that rude person working for you I've been going to this restaurant for many years I even know the owner Giovanni and he knows me cause I was his car mechanic and we had a friend in common (Tony Bevacqua ) now I don't go there as much but I use DoorDash The reason why I am getting into this in details is because if Giovanni was there, that girl at front would've never been working there We should get a table in 10 minutes and she asked me for my cell phone number and she sent me a text saying I was going to get a text when the the table was ready, well 45 minutes later me and my wife got back inside to see what's going on and she acted like she had never seen me before and totally clueless , I told her that she never send me a text and she gave me the biggest shittiest attitude like it was my fault, well 10 minutes later we got a table! Total time 1:37 minutes till finally we got our food The food is very good, the waitress fantastic but the hostess needs training. BIG TIME ! She needs to know give customer attitude and rolling her eyes is not good. Nick (owner) I asked for you to say hi and to let you know what happened,but you were on vacation! I hope this helps you to be able to select the people who are working for you so that way they can provide the service when you're not around! read more

Me and my family make the trip to eat at Giovanni's atleast 2x a year the staff is 110% amazing ALWAYS the food is just perfection but iv noticed they always always always mess up the order or forget something (we have takeout orders) so that really sucks when you are expecting food but it's not in there and it's not like we can just go back and get it we come from across Oregon to eat here So 7/10 would recommend just eat inside and you'll have an amazing time read more

Giovanni's take-out, it looked like we ordered dinner for a family of six! Portions were generous, we will have leftovers for days. The creamy sauce was smooth and hearty, and the chicken in both the Fettuccine Alfredo and Giovanni's chicken was cooked well and not dry. Read carefully to see if garlic bread comes with the dish. We ordered extra cheesey garlic bread and we got a whole pizza box full! What we ordered: Chicken fettuccine Alfredo with side salad Giovanni's chicken, side spaghetti marinara and side salad Stromboli Cheesy garlic bread Tiramisu Chocolate cake Cannoli Cheesecake read more

The food is always great. Leslie was our server and she is amazing. Such a sweet personality and made us laugh. Great experience!

Excellent food... great atmosphere. A little off the beaten path. Many locals were there

Nice atmosphere - helpful staff - giant portions. I had a nice dinner with my husband with plenty of leftovers!!

Was in the mood for some old school italian. Red check cloth. Worrying that at any moment there will be a mafia hit in the place (just kidding). Got food to go - canneloni and manacotti - two items you cant really find in most italian joints. Food was cheap - 14 bucks. It was spot on - kind of what i expected for the price. Simple salad with tangy vinegar dressing. Pasta was ok - cheese, tomatoey, and meaty. Garlic bread the same. Heard their pizza is good may try that next read more

Ive been on the hunt for good pizza in Portland for the 5 years I've lived here. Ive tried about every place I can imagine and it only gets worse. The pizza here was literally the same quality, if not worse, of dominos for double the price. Why is there a problem with pizza in Oregon.... Its so bad. read more

The reviews for this place confuse me. We love this place and even had my wife's birthday dinner here. Fast service, good food, nice traditional Italian restaurant vibes. Seems family run, everyone is super friendly. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but it's hands down my favorite pizza in town: large extra cheese and extra pepperonis is my comfort food. read more
