Truly Disappointed 2012-04-09
A restaurant with beautiful Italian decor going wrong.
Positives- Location, Ambiance (indoor, outdoor and lounge sitting), local Italian music.
Negatives- Bland food, restaurant totally can't handle huge crowds or group guests, only few nicely trained waiters out of which only half are courteous enough, rest are rude.. " THEIR COMPLIMENTARY BREADS TASTE THE BEST "..
The ambiance in the restaurant is really soft and soothing, but the staff makes you cautioned and tensed even before you order something by telling your pizza will take 20 mins pasta will take 20mins breads... read more -

A huge huge disappointment … 2012-04-08
We waited around 4 years to visit Don Giovanni as someone had told us that kids are not allowed there… and we never go anywhere without our 4-year old who LOVES Italian food and can give any Italian cook a lecture on good meat sauce and pastas! We landed there on Thu evening at 8:30pm and we were the only ones there. This has one of the best décor that we have seen in any stand-alone Italian restaurant in Mumbai … huge space, very very well set up with the perfect ambience !! The staff was quite warm and we enjoyed the undivided attention.
Then everything was a tragedy. We ordered their... read more -

Horrible 2012-03-22
Worst Italian food! Went for a kitty party on 21.3.12 and were a group at 8, and has horrible experience. In all departments ....from service to food , only thing which was good was coke! Food was cold, salads were warm, lettuce in salads were not fresh, pizzas had no taste and the pizzas were served after an hour after order. Pastas were inedible. We left the place after only 1 order. Will never come to this place ever again. Worst Italian food ever. -

Valentines only at Don !!! 2012-02-15
I have come back here after more than a year and what better time than valentines. Booked a table well in advance and we arrived well in time and the attendant knew about my reservation as I said my name and without much hesitation lead me to my table on their porch. The perfect ambiance for a romantic evening.
For starters I ordered their Prawns in garlic butter, and the mouth melting beef carpaccio. For main I went with beef steak while my better half had their recommended pasta All Giovanni which was good. And we ordered a bottle of their Prosecco. And for desserts their all time favorite... read more -

Extremely disappointed 2012-02-15
After much deliberation, I visited Don Giovanni on Feb. 14th along with my Wife. To my surprise, my entire valentine evening got spoiled. Some of the keen observations I would want to point are
There was a car parked at the main entrance, leaving no space for people to enter the restaurant. I am not sure what the security is up to.
Interiors are good, but extremely poor service.
The moment I entered the restaurant, I could find no one to attend us at the gate, after a momentary wait I could find 3 attendants addressing me at once if I had a reservation. ( I am happy,... read more -

Disappointing food. 2012-01-10
I was a big fan of Don Giovanni's earlier avatar on Juhu Tara Road. So I was looking forward to eating at the new version of the restaurant. I lunched here with a couple of friends on Sunday, Jan 8th. We sat in the outdoor section, which was pleasant & had enough seating space. However, the food we ordered was extremely disappointing both in terms of portion size & tase. My Risotto Mare was exactly 10 spoons (hardly enough for the robust Sunday lunch I wanted to have). My friend's Alle Arabiatta was so spicy, the sauce was almost like that of an Indian tomato based curry. And my other friend's... read more -

Very let down 2011-12-08
Went there on a Sunday evening after prior reservation. Had no problems finding a place in the open-air section.
A word of advise : Being in the open air section secludes you completely from the staff. There was no server in the section for almost 20 minutes after we sat and throughout the evening we felt ignored (and I was of the impression that the Don personally comes to greet everyone)
Ordered a portion of bruschetta which was very dry and unpalatable. Now, I might not be a connoisseur of Italian cuisine but I can very well make out between good food and bad. And the starters were... read more -

Great date place 2011-11-30
The service was attentive without being too obtrusive, food arrived on time. We had the wild mushroom risotto which was delicious and perfectly cooked. Just wish there was more of a variety in salads though. Recommended. -

Good Food.... 2011-10-12
The starters, drinks, pastas, pizzas and risotto....we tried them all and the food is good...the owner takes a lot of personal interest in making sure guests are enjoying the meal...
Although since the reviews we all so great, I was a little disappointed as I thought they were overrated.
The food was good but there are many better Italian places that I would much prefer... -

Favoloso ristorante italiano 2011-05-31
Just when I thought Mumbai had reached a peak with good Italian cuisine, I stumbled across Don Giovanni's. Now, first things first, well done on having a sign you can clearly see from the roadside to find this place. However, I would suggest you have a word with Just Dial as your phone number is not listed with them! This can't be good for business...
We didn't get deterred by this and so ended up dropping in en route somewhere else to make the arrangements for dinner. Whilst doing so we heard that there was a dress code in place too - as you would expect with a classy joint like this.... read more -
