About

Giovanni's is a long-standing Italian spot in Barnstaple. Reviews are quite polarised; some diners love the authentic feel and pasta dishes, while others have had poor experiences with service and food quality. It is a small, popular place, so booking is recommended. It seems to be a place where consistency can vary.
