I first was introduced to this place during the 2017 Super Bowl parade and have been coming back ever since. I just enjoyed our second Super Bowl win here this year as well. I appreciate the service and have built amazing relationships with staff and consider them family. I highly recommend and will keep coming back!

Fun sports bar with a great kitchen that stays open late! You can get slices in the front or walk to the back and order from the full menu. The vodka penne, vodka slice, and cheesesteak were all delicious.

Not only is this place an institution, great food, vibe, and great bartenders (Steve), but we also wanted to buy a T-shirt from the establishment. As it turns out the new shipment of T-shirts coming in was sent to a different location and, being as super cool as the owner is, he personally drove a T-shirt down to the restaurant so that we could have but before we left the city the next day! This is gonna be a regular stop on our Philly visits. From now on love, love, love this place.

Ordered late night cheesesteak and wings. Google said open till 12am but there is a bar inside and they are opened till 2:30. Already made pizza you can buy by the slice. Food was good and inexpensive. Lots to choose from. I parked in street and after 11pm on Friday you don’t have to pay. Staff was friendly

One of the best hidden gems in center city Philadelphia! This spot has something for everyone. Great food, great drink, great service. Owner and staff will accommodate almost any order and take the time to make you feel as comfortable as if you were eating at home. They cater too. Always impressed with the extra mile Giovanni’s goes to take care of their people!!

I went in randomly to see what kind of pizza they had in slices. To my surprise they had a variety of choices and all fresh. I ordered a slice and can ginger ale they even gave me a small pack of gummies for a little snack .Pizza was fresh and tasty. The staff were very pleasant and the atmosphere was cozy. When I finished my food and looked for the trash can is when I realized it was a whole bar and more tables to dine at in the back..I have to go back after work hours to try the bar out and come back with another review

Maybe my new favorite place on earth! My colleagues and I were in town for a conference in Philadelphia and we happened upon Giovani’s because it was close to our hotel. This place is exceptional!! The drinks, the food, the staff, the vibes - they’re all phenomenal. We ended up here all three days we were in town!! Thank you to Steve (Gio lol), Anthony, Chelsea, Junior, Headphones, Sam, and the rest of the Giovani’s crew for making our time in Philly so enjoyable. Can’t wait to come back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Giovani’s Bar & Grill, and I must say it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual night out. The menu offered a fantastic variety of options, and I was particularly impressed with the selection of pizza and pasta dishes. I tried the cheesesteak and it was absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The sides were equally impressive; the pizza was a must-try! The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The drinks were also top-notch; I highly recommend the cocktail Overall, Giovani’s Bar & Grill exceeded my expectations. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind with friends or enjoy a hearty meal with family, this bar and grill is definitely worth a visit. I can’t wait to go back!
