    Fried Mozerella
    Teresa C.

    This a cute restaurant just off of US27. They started us off with the delicious warm bread. We then enjoyed frozen mozzarella and pizza. Everything was very good!! Our server was great!

    Jasmine M.

    Absolutely delish. I have to start off with thanking our waitress, she was full of life and so sweet. She engaged with us which isn't typical anymore. I got the lobster ravioli and it was very good, the sauce absolutely delicious. We were given fresh bread to start with which was also yummy. We came in pretty late for dinner so it wasn't very full but I love that they have the pizza area, a bar & the restaurant. Would def go again.

    Complimentary bread

    What a gem in Davenport! This place is delicious. Enjoyed a nice dinner with friends here and we all left more than happy. The complimentary bread was nice and warm. All our pizzas were so fresh and tasty, we literally had like 4 different ones and tried a bit of everything. The wings were juicy. I had a cocktail that was such a nice touch. This place is so nice inside, with a decent size bar. Definitely a nice place for a date night, to come and watch a game, or bring the family. Staff was friendly and our food was our in a decent amount of time.

    Pepperoni pizza slice

    Service was fast and friendly. The pizza was fresh and hot. The place itself is outdated but clean.

    Doughy undercooked Giovanni's Primo.
    Anthony W.

    Ordered 3 pizzas for takeout. The flavor is on point, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The pepperoni came burnt, the crust is crunchy and dry. The Primo had great toppings the sauce tastes good but the dough is soggy and undercooked. The Primo stuck to the box and wax paper, had no structure when picking it up, so much so the toppings just slide off. For $75 you expect A LOT more than what you get. The pizza size is fair, the taste is good, which is why it's getting any stars. But I shouldn't have to cook the pizza again when I get home, what's the point of ordering out? Won't be coming back.

    We came here for dinner tonight while visiting the area and have to say the food was absolutely amazing. If you're anywhere near this area and looking for great Italian food, this is definitely a place you should try. The pasta tasted authentic, the pizza was outstanding, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was awesome. Our server tonight was fantastic and made sure our family of six was well taken care of the entire time. The team on the floor worked really well together and you could tell everyone was hustling to keep up with how busy the restaurant was. The host staff and servers were all friendly, hardworking, and made the experience enjoyable for our family. The only thing we did notice was an opportunity with leadership. The restaurant was extremely busy and the staff looked pretty overwhelmed at times. There were moments where a little extra help from management could have gone a long way. For example, there was a stack of plates sitting on a ledge near our table that could have easily been cleared, but instead the manager pointed for a server who was already busy to take care of it. Small things like that could really help take pressure off the team during a rush. That being said, the staff here truly does a great job and our server in particular was excellent. We're giving five stars because the food, atmosphere, and service team were all great. With a little more hands-on leadership support during busy times, this place would run even better. Overall a great experience and we would definitely come back when we're in the area again.

    Let's start with the atmosphere, it was so relaxed loved the service and the quickness. The bread to start is given immediately and it is better than any bread I've had, better than Cheesecake Factory better than road house, the bread was soft fluffy and the butter was sweet and salty just so good we devoured it. The mozzarella sticks, wow the pull on that cheese was better than chilis it was hot full of cheese and the sauce was homemade. Then the pizza, what I can I say they are thin crispy full of flavor and the medium was enough for me and my husband to share. The price was great and worth it. We didn't order pasta but the table next to us did and it looked to hot and delicious I definitely want to come back and taste it. This place was great for a family and I would come back!

    Two and a half stars rounded up. So very meh. Three stars for the friendly service and pleasant atmosphere, but the food is just nothing special. I do like that bread is served complementary, too many places don't do that anymore, but the bread was too dense, very doughy and undercooked. The pizza was average at best. Sauce overly sweet without a touch of acidity. Crust is floppy and lacking any flavor. I came in with low expectations since I've been to a mediocre Giovanni's in Orlando years ago, but this one is right across the street and was hoping a brand new location would surprise me. Disappointed but not surprised.

    Chicken Franchise
    Chris K.

    Been waiting for Giovanni's to open! Only issue is I went for lunch, but they haven't kicked in the lunch specials yet. So it was a little more expensive than I was going for, but still very good! Went with Chicken Franchise. Came with a salad that was very basic, but the house dressing was good. Also came with "garlic bread." I put it in quotes because it wasn't like any garlic bread I've had before. It was a mini loaf with a little garlic flavor on top. However, it came with a garlic spread...it was great!!! The chicken was very good. So tender and sauce very flavorful. I'll be back to try other offerings!

The whole experience was not. This was a refreshing experience. They have been open for a short time and this was my first opportunity to stop in. The store was clean, employees were friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent. I walked in around lunchtime and was directed to the back of the store where the line started for ordering. They have a big menu board which I read first to determine what to get. The Cubano sounded good so I decided to give it a try. There were two choices for bread where they started the sandwich and put it in the oven. I was directed to the next station for all the toppings. I had a moment and chatted with the two employees that were there, and the one at the register asked what I got and if I would be having a drink or anything else. I told them I would take a meal which consisted of the sandwich, a drink and chips. On my sandwich came out they asked how I wanted it and directed me to assign that showed all the topics available. I opted for mustard and added hot peppers. I was very impressed with the taste of the sandwich and the hot peppers added a nice touch that you don't normally get on a Cuban. I will definitely be trying this one again in the future. They have several tables to dine at and there are accessible spaces out front. They have a drink station where you would get your own drink. If you're looking for a good hot sandwich, this is a great choice to have in this shopping area.

I've passed this place by on my way to work and figured to stop by sometime; today was the perfect day because Victoria was the sweetest and super swift with her service! I sat at the bar to enjoy a small dinner and cocktail; ordered an Old Fashioned and received their signature one which was super tasty and done right! (thanks Victoria ) Managed to snag a photo of my salad as it was purchased with birthday money from a friend; got the Wedge (a la carte, no protein). Even though the produce is "weird" now, every bit of what happens for me next will be all worth it because that salad was delicious! It was one of the best wedge salads I've had in a long while... almost got the soup of the day because French Onion is my favorite but I had some places to be thereafter and "toilet conspiracies caused by produce" was not in my bingo card for my special day For my first time, it was a wonderful experience and service as top tier even though business was a bit slow. Take advantage of this though, because the food from what I've seen looks DELICIOUS Thanks Victoria See you soon!

To be a chain, Ovation Bistro in Davenport FL looks like a good time. Our server was Alex and she was doing everything by herself. Tending bar, serving and busing tables. She was a whirlwind. It is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. You enter through the covered patio area, which on a florida day when it was 97 outside it felt cooler on the patio. We ate inside. When you enter, the bar is to the left and the dining area is on the right. There are both booths and tables in the dining area. And high tops in the bar, besides the bar stool. Ordered a craft beer from 3 Sisters in St. Pete. It was good. For lunch we had the sirloin lunch special and brisket wedge salad. The food was not good. It was bad. And in their defense, maybe they were having an off day or maybe their lunch specials are left overs. The brisket was dry and way past it's prime. I sent it back and they brought me back more dry brisket which I guess they soaked in something, but you could tell it was way over cooked and past it's prime. The sirloin steak was not much better and the mash potatoes were at best luke warm. This was very disappointing. Especially after seeing some of the reviews. Suffice to say, this outing was definitely a one star for the food and four stars for the service along with the ambiance. I hate to hurl insults, but whoever is in their kitchen has either lost their passion or they just don't care. Best part of the meal was the wedge salad which was deliscious. The manager did come talk to us and did not charge us. The experience was still disappointing. My expectation did not meet my experience at Ovation Bistro in Davenport Florida.

But.... the service is absolutely awful, like really bad at night. I have been here 3 times, once for lunch where the service was good, but the kitchen was slow. And twice at night, where the service was slow and the kitchen was slow. And at night, they have all the lights on like if the bar was going to close. And it is like that all night. I think they are trying to be more of a restaurant, but let's face it... Davenport's Sports Bar is a dive bar with the lights turned all the way up. Seems like industrial style lighting on a manufacturing scale. The food is okay. It is bar food. Did I mention how bad the service is? There were 5 servers including the bartender, couldn't figure out if there was a manager, but I got the impression that they are just disorganized. In any case, bad service means low or no tip and more beer so that's a win. Not going to go out of my way to visit here again. It just is not worth it.
