The service here was lovely and the food was amazing. Everyone there was so kind and accomodating which is especially impressive not only because it was a very busy, but because I am a Celiac. My server, Millie, was so charming and sweet, incredibly knowledgeable about what I could and could not eat, and was wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially anyone who is a Celiac or Gluten intolerant person. Total gem of a place.

This review is based on the many times we have dined at Giovanni's On The Hill. Unfortunately ten days before our reservation the restaurant burned so we had to change our plans. The ambiance would be described as elegant Italian. The food has always been good, sometimes spectacular. The service has been spotty ranging from annoying to wonderful.
