Our menu is an evolving canvas of our work that stands up to the reputation of quality we have built over the years. Using only the finest ingredients, we prepare your food with unbridled creativity and care that exceeds expectations. With a name you know and trust, Al Castrogiovanni (Chef, Owner, a graduate of the Illinois Institute of Chicago Culinary Arts) is reinventing the style, presentation and experience you and your guests will enjoy with Giovanni’s!

 

Chef Al introduces new features every week using his runaway creativity and supurb culinary skill and gets very excited about using local ingredients as much as and whenever possible.  He incorporates seasonal items, refreshing the menu every few weeks so as to make use of what is grown nearby and use energy most efficiently.

If you enjoy an unusual treatment of an exotic seafood or prefer a twist on an old standby you will find it here.  You will find the excitement of some things on our menu you have never heard of as well as the comfort of timeless dishes prepared our own special way.  We believe in the quality of our food and our staff and hope that you will too.  That is what makes us Giovanni's.
