Gluten free options!! 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! read more

Food was not the best, service was not good. Yelp has never disappointed but this rating is way over inflated. Best thing was the cannoli and water. I would eat the cannoli's again probably in the top 5 places I have had. Steer clear. read more

Definitely a family type place- nice people, and decent food. The pasta is definitely not made in house, and I definitely caught them on an off-night with my dish. Every Italian restaurant I go to, I order plain spaghetti- no butter- no oil, and a side of grilled chicken. The chicken was fine, but the pasta smelled like an air freshener -- it was seriously the weirdest thing. Multiple people smelled it and agreed I probably shouldn't eat it - so sad because I love plain pasta. Any way... it is what it is. Also- this isn't the most tidy place... tables were left dirty from the time we arrived (12 of us), from the time we left. But seriously- it's like eating in your grandmas kitchen- so the cleanliness is almost excusable??? read more

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal and relax. One good thing to note is that it's BYOB! Definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

If y'all are craving Italian food this is the place! It's a pretty small restaurant but don't judge before you try the food! We always went to Olive Garden but it's NOTHING compared to this. The service was amazing from start to end. We went on Mother's Day and my mom felt very special. They even gave her a rose. We never had amazing service like this before. We will be coming back for sure! We got the homemade bread, garlic bread, lobster ravioli, Fettuccini Alfredo (w/ chicken), Chicken Parmigiana, and Italian cream cake. read more

Mentioned the specials to us as well. This place was authentic from the food to the people. Super friendly and made us feel like we were friends. The place was small but cozy. The food was delicious. I had the lasagna and calamari. I recommend both! read more

Giovanni's Italian Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

08/24/2025 why have I not been back sooner?!! This place is still amazing! The bread was hot and delicious. Real Butter yum!! The taste of Italy was one of the specials. Lasagna, chicken Parmesan and Fettuccine Alfredo and a soup or salad. $20.99 what a deal! The food was fresh and hot. I swear no one has hit food anymore. The lasagna was my favorite! The chicken Parma was a very close 2nd. The Alfredo went home and I will add chicken tomorrow for lunch. I was stuffed!! Lots of folks were taking food to go. Perfect meal! It is byob. I will try to remember for next time! read more

My Dad wanted Spaghetti for dinner. I remembered he liked Giovanni's Spaghetti. This restaurant is conveniently located off Crowley Road. So, I headed there only to discover they were closed and open at 4 pm? I walked in and the owner quickly said, We are not open. Then the guy behind him said, come on in. Then the owner said, he will take care of you. Then, another guy said come, sit down, and he proceeded to turn the TV on. Then, he asked me if I wanted a drink. I said, 'Sure if it's on the house." Lol. He said, I'll make you some fresh Tea. I said ok. Then he asked, how the Tea was. I said, It's good!" He said , Do you need anything else? I asked for some lemons and he brought it out. I waited just a few minutes and my order was ready! The cook brought my food out with a smile. The waiter came and said, would you like a bag for that? I said, Yea, that would be helpful! Then he said, would you like some more Tea and filled my drink up! He also, wanted me to have a menu before I left but, he couldnt find one so he gave me a business card. He asked, if I wanted anything else. I explained, I was having soup and my Dad was having the Spaghetti. The waiter said, "I see." I ordered the Tortellini Soup. It was delicious. It wasy my first time ordering this kind of soup. It was not listed on the Menu. I asked for it. My Soup was loaded with oil Butter and Salt making it creamy and flavorful. My soup had lots of Pasta, Zucchini, and Squash as well. The waiter went above and beyond for me. He was so nice to me. He treated me like, I was a friend in his home. I don't think I've been to a restaurant where I was made to feel this way! Therefore, I highly recommend this restaurant not just for the service but for the great tasting food. read more

Dino was awesome and the food was 10/10! We will definitely be coming back. We got the lasagna and Alfredo with chicken parm.

Glad we made reservations on a Saturday night. This place gets busy very quickly! We were greeted right away and the staff was very friendly! The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming! The staff checked on us regularly and they were very genuine! Felt like you were part of the family. This was my first time visiting a restaurant that allows you to bring your own bottle and I will say it was nice to do. We started with stuffed mushrooms and garlic bread, both tasty. They do provide complimentary bread, but you must try their garlic bread. I had the baked ziti with Italian sausage and it was delicious. The shrimp fradiablo was my favorite. The sauce was thick and creamy and the right amount of spice. We did choose a side salad with their tomato vinaigrette and it was really good. The tiramisu along with the coffee was a perfect end to our delicious meal!!!! I also loved that they did not overdo it with the chocolate sauce. I cannot wait to visit again and try another dish! read more

The food is full of flavor! Their dishes are amazingly delicious! I'm not sure what's in the sauce but I enjoyed dipping my bread in it. You've got to try the desserts.

The food here is absolutely delicious. So glad we found this place. The server and the owner were very kind and accommodating. They were able to heavily customize every dish to our liking. The seafood with white clam sauce, the carbonara, stuffed mushrooms, and pink sauce chicken linguine was great, nothing was left over. The tiramisu was absolutely fantastic as well. Definitely coming back here and I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. read more

We have been here about five times, most recently for Valentine's Day. The restaurant feels like a mom and pop and the service is wonderful! I always order the chicken primavera with extra veggies instead of spaghetti. My husband gets the chicken Parmesan. Always incredibly delicious!! My favorite Italian restaurant ever! read more

The restaurant is so cute, the vibes of authenticity hits you the second that you walk through their front door. It is owned and operated by a true Italian family that instantly invites you in their "home" and welcomes you as part of their family!! The gentleman that served us is the son named Tony. He was so authentic and sweet (like every one of his family members) Okay now let's get to the nitty gritty and talk about how freaking amazing and authentic the food is!!! We had the calamari, house salad with the tomato based house dressing, fresh baked croissant, and the chicken parmigiana with a side of spaghetti and ended it with their tiramisu, not a thing that we ate was pre frozen or premade!! If I could give more stars I absolutely would!! This I can honestly say is our new "go to" Italian place!! I kind of do this review with reluctance because if people discover what a gem that this place is I worry that it will get too packed!! lol definitely check them out!!! But save room for me!! read more

Hidden Gem. From the moment you walk in, the service is great. When I requested a dish that was yesterday's special, they made it today for me anyways. Some of the offerings were similar to "Joe's pizza" but the flavors were much better. Good prices for the large servings. BYOB makes it even easier on the pocketbook. We will be back! read more

Went back to Giovanni's. Dreamed about their lasagna for 2 weeks but ended up going for their Lobster Ravioli special. Chef's kiss. Delicious. The server/owner? also offered up a Tortellini Soup instead of the Minestrone Soup if I was willing to wait. It was worth the wait. Once again, ridiculously satisfied with this meal. Had leftovers to take home too. read more

A group of friends and I stopped by on the way back home to Oklahoma, and we will be back! Everything was amazing. The bread was hot and fresh, while the pasta meals were heavenly. Thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

Dino took amazing care of us at our first time at Giovanni's. What the restaurant lacks in decor, it more than makes up for it in the food. We ordered the spaghetti with sausage and the chicken primavera. The marinara sauce is a classic flavor and meets all expectations. Adding cream to the Primavera was a first for us, but Dino mentioned it is more of a vodka sauce. Personally, I would have liked a standard lighter marinara with it, but the dish was still great. We also noticed they have a drive through option, which could get very dangerous for us! read more

The food was 4 stars: really good and a few things like manicotti I don't often see on the menu at other places. But I don't think it can overcome the ambience and setting for me. The staff seemed very nice but service was slow (getting menus took awhile, then a drink was forgotten and then the wrong one brought out). And the tables and chairs were wet from being wiped down when we were seated (at least we know they were wiped down?) The lighting was so low it became inconvenient. Overall, we were out with family and I feel responsible for selecting this option for dinner. It wasn't terrible, but I wish I'd selected somewhere different and I think that says a lot. read more

I have to agree with our fellow Yelpers, Giovanni's is a great pick for a great meal! I was mostly impressed by the friendliness and the hospitality this family extends to its patrons. I was greeted with a big welcome and a big smile as I first walked in. I sat and waited for my friends to arrive and watched as they greeted all of their guests in a most personal way. I ordered the Tour of ITALY special and shared it with my friend. We enjoyed every bit of it, but I mostly loved the fettuccine Alfredo. His sauce is to die for! The bread was rich and the pasta cooked perfectly. The service was good, and the Tiramisu was made to perfection! Also, they allow BYOB, which saved us a lot of $ for sure! read more

This was my first time trying this place I got a Caesar salad. The salad was almost expired. The croutons were stale. I also got fried calamari, which were also stale. They came with lemons that we're going bad already. My chicken Alfredo was okay. Won't be going back again. read more

All I can say this is the best and most authentic Italian food I've had here in the states, hands down! The service was amazing, owner greeted us as soon as we walked in and food was cooked to perfection. I had their supreme pizza and my husband had their shrimp alfredo pasta which was absolutely delicious. I tried coming back today ( Monday) from the San Antonio area and was disappointed to know they are closed on Mondays. We'll be back read more

We went there for dinner yesterday and we were pleasantly surprised! The mozzarella sticks , delicious!!! The calamari was good but we preferred it to be a lil bit crispier but it did have good flavor. I had the chicken Alfredo and it was very saucy , chicken pieces were good not over cooked. My husband had the chicken parm and he enjoyed it.. we also had a cheese pizza on the side and you can tell the sauce is not from can it tasted authentic and it was not overly acidic like the Olive Garden marinara.. we will deff be going back! Especially to try the homemade bread. Service was great too and everything came out fresh and hot. read more

Chicken Marsala and salads were good. Service was decent. Calamari was horrible. Like cardboard in chewing texture. No flavor as well.

Great food, amazing service! My wife had the spaghetti and meat balls, I had the Chicken piccata and my son had pizza Alfredo! Everything was awesome! read more

We got food to go, but as always, it was exceptional! The owner and family were all there. They were extremely welcoming. The place was packed as I can imagine. This is due to the family who runs it and owns it and the exceptional job they do. The food was great as always. Fettuccine chicken Alfredo, the ziti with Bolognese and spaghetti meatballs were all great! read more

Just finished dinner: really good chicken fettuccine, tender flavorful chicken piccata and garlic bread (buttery and crunchy). The service was so good - our server had a delightful Italian accent - and there was a steady stream of patrons and take out orders. We picked Giovanni's based on reviews. We were meeting someone for dinner and this had the best reviews close to the hotel. If we lived closer, we would be "regulars" - like many of the other patrons around our table. It was not too loud, but was comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere. read more

Looking for a nice pasta fix before the Cowtown marathon this was a great place to stop. Based on the reviews we decided to check out Giovanni's for a nice pasta fix. Once we opened the door, it was like walking into grandma's Italian kitchen. The smell was wonderful. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated. It became really apparent that we were perhaps the only customers in the restaurant that the owners did not know by name. The menu is very traditional and covers all the basics. The takeout business was brisk and we noticed at this location also does catering. Our server was super sweet and made some recommendations that were just wonderful. Their salads were crisp and fresh, the bread, warm, and crisp out of the oven with dipping oil was just to die for. Our pastas were wonderful, and the desserts that we took home with us were just fantastic. The restaurant itself is not fancy, and having been open for decades, probably shows signs of its age. Do not let the simplicity of the building or the condition of the parking lot have you overlook a fantastic Italian meal at unbelievably reasonable prices. read more
