| - My girlfriend and I walk past Giovanni's almost every day and the smell blowing out from the door is INCREDIBLE. Finally we decided to order something for delivery and see how it was.
We were severely disappointed.
My girlfriend tried the buffalo chicken salad with french fries. I ordered penne noodles with marinara sauce. We decided to share an order of cheese bread twists and a slice of cheesecake.
My girlfriend's salad was basically a few shreds of iceberg lettuce slathered in mediocre, overly-spicy buffalo sauce. The chicken and fries were cold.
The pasta was nice and hot, but I found the marina sauce to taste bland and ketchup-ish, almost like they had dumped a cup of corn syrup in the mix. It was freaky.
I was surprised that the cheese bread thing was so highly rated because ours was doughy, cold, and we weren't even sure if cheese was involved. The marinara dipping sauce was the same as what was on my pasta- ketchup-y, sharp, and basically flavorless.
The cheesecake was actually pretty good, flavor-wise. Perfectly sweet. However, the consistency was almost identical to that of a half-melted tub of frosting. The whole thing was a gooey mess, spilling over the sides of the crust.
Our experience was incredibly disappointing and we ended up throwing most of the food away. I could have set aflame forty bucks and felt about the same.
That being said, we didn't even try pizza. Maybe that's better, but we won't be taking the risk to find out.
