Giovanni's Italian Grill

 I agree to with Christine. I would rather know where I can be served at
 all within a reasonable period than be seated and wait forever. Honesty
 is the best policy in this case. I would definitly go back. Recommended
 that you go back. The food is fabulous!!! I also had teh Fazzoletti
 which was great! My friend had the torteloni, also fab. The waiter was
 very good telling us what was good and not and making recommendations.
 He got a good tip from us. He even told us to cut open the homemade
 ravioli so as not to burn our mouths. Give it a try again MYKL! Nice
 place to stop on the way home from work.

 And they encourage take-out - good for a busy day with no lust to cook
 in the evening.

 I went to a pizza restaurant in Mt. Lebo the other night and read the
 menu in the window for this restaurant (Cafe Giovanni) that was right
 beside it.  If it is the right one, it sits on the corner and has lots
 of windows on the outside of the building.  It is a block up from the
 Denis Theatre in Mt. Lebo.  Do I have the right place?

 Anyway, I love veal and I looked at their veal selection.  I can't wait
 to go there because they sound so delicious.  What do you recommend
 there?  Is everything al carte?  Can you make reservation?
