Move over Gotti - Giovanni is here!
Went to this place for dinner with a friend last night. Being the SOBO brat that I am, I was a little perturbed by my friend insisting that we go here - the thought of driving all the way to Juhu was a little daunting. Luckily it was not raining and the traffic was not too bad.
We walked into this very unassuming place with a superb neighborhood feel - think your average middle-of-the-road Italian eatery in New York. The Italian marble slabs on the walls and the black and white opera posters really gave this place a great "old-world" charm. Also, the wait-staff is increadibly friendly and warm and they really make you feel like you have gone over to a friend's place for a meal. Can't really ask for much more!
The food was delectable! I ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca with Parma ham which was to die for. My friend got the Spaghetti with asparagus and spicy Italian suasage which was also just as good. For dessert we shared a Tiramisu which is the best that I have had in Bombay - for one thing it was not egg-less, as is the case with most other Tiramisu one finds in India. We washed all of this down with a couple of glasses of fantastic French merlot.
We ended up paying a mere 2,300 bucks for a superb meal and a great evening. I can't wait to go back to Don Giovanni and am prepared to brave the rain and the ghastly traffic to do it.
P.S.: An added appeal (for me anyways) to this place is that they don't allow kids! I think that's a first for any restaraunt in Bombay.
