Jovanina's Broken Italian

I absolutely love this restaurant! My first experience there was so wonderful that I had to bring a group of friends back for a birthday celebration- we had the absolute best experience and best service. The ambiance, the food, the wine, were all wonderful- but even better than that was the people.

The pork chop is great with such a generous portion for the price and the rack of lamb was perfect.

After waiting 45 mins, our food finally came out - and all at once. It was not crowded and we watched more than half the restaurant leave during the time we were in the place. The waiter kept talking up a female on the wait staff and was clearly not interested in his customers…to the point that we had to ask someone else to hurry it up with our check because we were going to be
