For the love of god do not get the Pollo Pazzo - pecan “crusted” baked chicken breast. It tasted like the chicken was boiled and the “crusted” pecans on top ere actually just a handful of nuts thrown on top

I’ve been coming to Giovanni’s for many years and it’s definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Brazoria county. The food is excellent and every server I’ve had has been great. I love the tomato Basil soup and the lasagna. This review is specifically based on my experience last weekend with some notes from previous experiences. This is a small restaurant so it is quite a bit crowded. My partner loves the filet mignon and it was phenomenal as usual. I decided to try something new and got the Alaskan salmon with lump crabmeat and shrimp Alfredo; the meal was delicious but I do have to say the salmon is smothered in sauce for those that may not like that. (Based on past experiences) The pizzas here are amazing! From this visit and past visits, on a negative note, the alcoholic beverages are portioned very lightly and there is some stinginess it seems. A group of my friends and I had ordered Italian margaritas & were not satisfied with them, my friend complained but I found the drink to be tolerable. This past visit I was very disappointed in the portioning of my glass of Pinot Grigio, there was barely any in the glass!!! This opinion is based upon being a worker in the restaurant industry that has served drinks & that not only wants my customers to enjoy their food, but also their drinks. Besides that, this restaurant is excellent and I will always recommend it to anyone that wants somewhere good to eat. Update: Had a very disappointing experience with lack of portions and bland gross side dishes. This place either had a bad day or has gone really downhill.
