Giovanni's Restaurant

“The food is superb, prepared and cooked on site and utterly delicious.”

The restaurant refit looks great. We loved the new additions to the menu. With fresh bruchetta and olives to start, main it was a creamy blue cheese type dish … Pappardelle Campagnie ( excuse my spelling / if wrong) we also shared an amazing garlic bread and finished with a lemon sorbet for dessert. Ah it was heavenly. we can’t wait to come back to try more from the menu next month. Staff are brilliant with excellent hospitality as always 🙌

Opposite Queens Theatre and opens at 5.30 so plenty of time to eat before the show. Very friendly staff. Menu has the old favourites but with stuff I'd never had before. Mussels in dolcelatte were delicious. Good wine list. Lovely atmosphere. I wish it was closer to home, I'd be a regular

A friendly welcome and deliciously authentic Italian food makes this a real gem of a restaurant in Barnstaple. They are fully flexible and will mix your perfect pasta sauce with whichever pasta or gnocchi you fancy. Lovely wine too 👌

We had a lovely meal here, quite small and quaint inside but it’s popular so advise you book a table. The food was delicious, plenty of options on the menu, there’s also a specials board. Gluten free / vegetarian options available. Nice drinks menu as well, there’s also Italian wine we had was lovely. Nice friendly staff with good service. Would recommend.
