Italy – It’s in Our DNA

We didn’t just pick the name because it has a nice ring to it! Giovanni’s was established by Giovanni Maria Castrignano who moved to Australia from Italy having cooked and managed restaurants all over the world. He perfected many of the dishes we serve here from recipes his grandfather taught him when he was in his teens. Fine Italian cooking is a family tradition but Giovanni also graduated as a master chef from the acclaimed Rome International Chef’s School.

We Make Italy From Scratch

As any lover of Italian food can attest, freshness is the key to unlocking amazing flavour combinations. We agree with that wholeheartedly, not just in terms of the meats and vegetables but the sauces, pastas, pizza doughs and more. We start from scratch so we can ensure exceptional quality and authenticity in every bite.
