More information on Giovanni's

Perched on a corner of the famous "Hill," an Italian neighborhood in South St. Louis, Giovanni's is considered to be one of best restaurants in the United States. Despite its famous stature, though, the restaurant manages to treat each diner like a VIP. The low lighting and soft background music adds to the unpretentious, yet elegant atmosphere. Whether it is veal or seafood, Giovanni's has definitely mastered the essence of Italian cuisine. The portions are generous and the service is sophisticated. The full bar boasts a vast selection of wines to compliment any meal.
