Givanni's

The food here is awesome! My husband and I like to come here for dinner sometimes. We like to start out with the Fried Mozzarella or the Bruschetta, they are both enjoyable. The salads here are fresh and flavorful but I really enjoy the Pecan Crusted Walleye, it is delightful. It is cooked to perfection and served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. My husband almost always orders from off the grill and always enjoys his meal. We always get the Three Cheese Ravioli to go, our son is 2 and a half and just loves it. Not only are the food and service great but it has a great location, located right in the heart of the Ped-Mall. It is definitely worth checking out.

I've been eating here for as long as I can remember and I have never been unsatisfied. I absolutely love the decor!! It's different and unique and makes you want to explore the place and learn about the building. I have tried numerous things on the menu, which have all been wonderful. No matter what you order, you are guaranteed to enjoy it. The service is also great and welcoming. The servers I've had have always been knowledgeable and friendly and they do a great job at helping you pair wine with food. If you're in downtown Iowa City, this place is a must!

I like this restaurant and plan to come again. The food never disappoints, although it tends to be on the small side. I love their Electric Goat appetizer, goat cheese in a spicy marinara sauce. The ravioli dishes are also great.

The eating environment is eclectic, but bearable. The place kind of reminds me of an 80's disco (I think it's the neon lights that do it) combined with a number of other elements. There's also outdoor eating in the summer.

Pros: Food

Cons: Ambience
