What a beautiful setting with views of the vineyards and mountains. Outside seating is amazing and peaceful. The food was good not great. Unfortunately they do not have a non-alcoholic choice of wine for designated drivers but was informed by the others that the Chardonnay was amazing.The service was brilliant and friendly. The portion sizes are very big and the prices are reasonable. Would definitely go there again - lol it was worth the 40 minute drive. 🤣
Beautiful venue with stunning views. The staff and owner really went out of their way to make our visit a special memory. The food was good and I really enjoyed my meal. The portions were very generous. Salute to the owner.
We arrived without a booking and a table of six. They were most accommodating in seeing up a table for us. The food is amazing, one of the best risotto I have had, cooked to the perfect consistency.
Italian style restaurant, caters inside and outside (under the Oaks, with fabulous views). Varied menu, good reasonably priced fare. Sharp, but unobtrusive service. Loved it.
Great food, wide variety, great service and a beautiful setting. The owner, Stellios, checks in to see if everything is good. Really nice touch. Can highly recommend!
The setting is gorgeous, with a magnificent view of Paarl mountains. Sadly, the m cannelloni special was disappointing. Perhaps I just chose the wrong dish 😏
Always very special. Waiters are fantastic and food to die for. Brilliant.
Level 4 lockdown has nothing on incredible service and a sublime menu. Thank you Anthony for your service and hospitality order and collection of food was both seamless and efficient not to mention the decadence and both the food and yummy deserts. Were coming back for more, for sure
The service experience was really shocking, which is a pity because the restaurant and the views are stunning.Our waiter lost interest in us as soon as he realized we were not having dinner. I went for a drink and brought my kids to have milkshakes to try the place as we just moved to Paarl.I asked about high chairs and the waiter said they do have them inside but did not offer to bring one. I asked if I can get an extra chair and he let me get one myself and did not help.He brought milkshakes, my baby spilt it all over himself and the table (no high chair) and he did not clean up, I DID, but he did not remove the mess for the whole hour we stayed.He ignored us the whole time so I had to go inside to ask for water when my daughter slit her lip open.He still didnt clean up the mess on the table, which by now was full of tissues. It was disgusting.I had to get someone to call our waiter for the bill.I am so disappointed at the service. I still tipped well because I have some dignity but I think the staff really need some training in how to be decent human beings as well as staff.
If you are looking to enjoy some delicious Italian food in Paarl then Cucina Di Giovanni is the place for you. Their menu has a vast range of different Italian dishes available. My wife and I shared some pizza, which was very tasty, and some of the other guests had different pastas and risottos, which looked delicious and they spoke very highly of. The restaurant is quite big so it doesnt feel cramped, but I prefer their outside dining area as you sit under big trees and have a beautiful view. The day we visited was a bit chilly outside so we sat inside and they had their heaters going which made it warm and cozy. The restaurant also had a very energetic atmosphere and the staff and manager were very attentive. Good food, good atmosphere and a great option for both winter and summer - what more do you need.
A favourite in the Paarl area. Perfect stop on a sunny day to sit outside or in winter, inside next to the fire place. The menu is easy and tasty with a great selection of italian foods. To round it off Stellios and his team are always the perfect hosts.
Lovely, friendly atmosphere, tasty food - huge portions - good value for money. This isnt a fine dining experience; its a relaxed place to enjoy a good meal at a reasonable price.
Good italian food. Generous portions.
The pizza and drinks were delicious. The wait staff was extremely friendly and the athmosphere was lovely. The bathrooms were clean. The desserts could be better.
Best pizza ever (blue cheese and figs) and greatest service!
There is nothing wrong with this place but nothing right with it either. The staff are professional (mostly) and friendly. There is a nice lawn for the kids to play on. But the food, the food is so average with average being a favorable description. I went here based on proximity to where I was going to be and reviews, and I think it is only fair people get a relaistic review. The place is fine. The food is at best mediocre. At best
Beautiful setting, quite casual, friendly service and tasty food.
I have yet to taste better cooked eisbein. It is magnificent. Thrilled to have been there and the caprese salad was awesome....(portion could be bigger) but a great setting and just wonderful food. Great indoor and outdoor venue.
Very friendly Patron. Menue has many lekker options and the food is excellent. Good value for money! Definitely worth a second visit, and s third....
What an excellent venue and great menu to choose from. Supper with friends and always a good call with a variety of meals on the menu. Great atmosphere and lots for younger kids to do and safe.
Lovely setup. Delicious food!
Wonderful as always!The food cannot be faulted, its simply the best. Place was packed which was great to see. Highly recommended.
Beautiful views and the food was like manna from heaven. Not selfish portion wise and a cute place for the kids to play while the parents relax. Super friendly staff and even friendlier owner that chats and show interest in his clients.One of the kids messed and it was bearly a split second when the waiter was there to assist with a smile. Best experience i have had in a long time over all. A must when in Paarl!
A comfortable and relaxed day under the trees! A menu that can accommodate any taste! We are becoming regulars.
Exceptional dining experience. Nice outside area under trees with some good mountain views. Staff fully engaged with patrons. Our dinner was excellent
Beautiful setting under the trees with magnificent mountain views. If you eat liver, I can highly recommend the grilled liver, served with creamy mash. Portions are HUGE!
Great food and a beautiful setting. And, as we’ve come to expect from Cucina di Giovanni at other locations, a hands on owner. A lovely experience, thank you
The friendly staff and the beautifull setting make you feel as though this is your own little piece of heaven. Then the food arrives; heaven all over again! Thank you for the lovely lunch this Sunday afternoon. Unfortgettable. Being a local I am proud to share this review and encourage everyone to visit this gem in the Paarl Valley! Magnifico!!
The pizzas are simply perfect.
Awesome pasta, pizzas and most importantly the wine.
Good and friendly waiters. Delicious food. Lovely restaurant with beautiful gardens.
The setting is just gorgeous with the Paarl mountains and vineyards as a backdrop... food and service excellent.... will go back....
Was Amazing, our waiter Thembi, treated us like royalty.... Will recommend this restaurant to all we know. Friendly, homely atmosphere with stunning mountain views
Amazing pizza. Great atmosphere. Professional and clean.
Best pizza in town! Excellent service!
Good food Beautiful view
Italian cuisine at its best. Come for the best pasta, pizza, seafood, salad or selection of meat while getting the service you can only dream of.
Honestly really awesome food had the seafood pasta and the Veal marsala,massive portions for a good price.and service was amazing and they were bussy so well done to the whole team.you guys are doing something right.keep up the good work.
The food was awesome, and the service from Succeed first class
Best Eisbein I have had in a very long time. Wife have lasagne and from the small taste I had its even better than her own recipe!
Had a lovely meal.Very friendly staff.
Unfortunately the manager is a racist. I physically went to the restaurant to make a booking because I wanted a table that was close enough to the play area so that my nephew could play without us having to get up and watch over him. The booking would be for 7 people. The manager took one look at me and started berating me with all these unnecessary questions about how long we would be staying. He decided that my answers werent good enough and would not allow me to make a booking.Youd think that a 7 person booking would be good for business especially during these COVID times.
The food is absolutely amazing and the service is great!
Good location, beautiful view.Well prepared foodMenu offers great variety
Recently moved near Paarl and this has to be one of my favourite restaurants to dine at. With meals so tasty its hard to choose which one to order!
You will not be disappointed! Good ambiance and tasteful food from the highest quality!
Good food ..Good service...Very Popular..👍👍👍
Lovely view and awesome service with a smile. Delicious Sauvignon Blanc.
Very good except the Giovanni Veal had more than a hint of chilly which I loved but my friend didnt. Setting stunning.
Excellent service. Amazing food. Great vibe. Beautiful views. Kids friendly!!! Most highly recommended!
A genuine warm welcome, superb service & attention to detail. A must visit with a stunning view.
Yummy pizzas, attentive waitrons, owner on hand to say hi and have a little chat, all the time keeping an eye on his domain. Oh and the view... Bliss.
By far my favorite restaurant in the cape. Excellent service. Great food. Great atmosphere. Stelios makes the place feel so welcoming. Kids love it too. Highly recommend
Good Italian food with a good wine list
Wonderful setting and consistantly good food offering, great lunch venue.
Really poor service. Phone gets answered then then put down. Had to phone several times to speak to a person for a reservation. No voiced protocols are adhered to at the restaurant either. Would not recommend.
Excellent food and service
Lunch out on the stoep. The view of the mountain. The friendly staff. Good food and wine. Meeting up with friends after a tough day. Great spot to unwind. Kids play on the lawn and the natural jungle gym. Works for me.
Great views and Stelios is such a hands on host. Pizzas are really good. Light and crispy.
Good food and friendly staff beautiful scenery of Paarl and surrounding always a pleasure to eat there
