Dinner with friends. First time here. Was looking forward to the veal as it was one of my favorites at the old Giovanni’s. Veal Parmesan was every bit as good! Eggplant appetizer was excellent and canola for dessert crispy, creamy and delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meal. Definitely want to come back.

Food was excellent and our waitress was excellent. Felt like understaffed given the number of diners. But our waitress was really hustling and had a very positive attitude.
