Real Italian dishes made from real Italian family recipes, prepared and served in a restaurant created and run by an owner raised in a real Brooklyn Italian household. That’s what you experience when you eat at Giovanni’s.

When you visit my restaurant you’ll very likely see me. I hope you’ll also see the love and passion I try to bring to every element of your dining experience: the fresh ingredients, the Tafuri family recipes, the irresistible tastes, the vintage family photos and heirlooms that make the restaurant feel like home, and the value for your hard-earned dollar.

When I come to work I often think about my family, who taught me so much about food and about life. My passion is to operate a restaurant where every dish is so authentically delicious I’m proud to serve it to my own family – and to you.
