Reviews for Don Giovanni in South Amboy, NJ
Overall pretty good and the price was very right. Got the chicken Marsala. Chicken was juicy and cooked well. Same Goes for the... pasta. The service was very friendly too and it was a cozy dining area Read more
It's been open for awhile and I always wondered how the food was. I was hesitant because it always seems empty. Now I know why.... The food was overpriced and tasteless. The owner screamed at his server because he gave me 2 cups of ice when he felt I shouldonly have 1. Half the light bulbs were out and made it difficult to read the menu. It was dirty. I told the server I wasn'thappy with my meal and the owner didn't do anything. And to top it all off, the owner was checking out my date like he's neverseen a woman before. Only a matter of time before this place goes under. Read more
One of favorite pizza places. They move quickly there and I enjoy the hot fresh pizza that comes out of their oven. We continue... to go there for our pizza needs. Only thing I wish they can open their bar again. Then we would actually stay and eat instead oftake out. Read more
Decided to try this place for the first time last week and liked it so much we ordered again a week later. The delivery person... forgot one of my items. They promptly remade the pie and even sent a complimentary order of garlic knots. Now I like them evenmore. :) food is delicious and the people are very kind! This is definitely my new go to pizzeria! Read more
This was second time I ordered a delivery with this restaurant, the lady on the phone said 45 minutes, one hour after I was... still waiting, I called the restaurant to cancel the order, I was very polite, no drama, just asked for the order to becanceled, the lady on the phone replied "food is on the way" I said is too late, please cancel it, she reluctantly said ok andwithout saying anything else, hung up on me. A few moments later the delivery man arrived, I never took the food from him, andjust said to him that the order was canceled. He apologized and left. After a while, the lady from the restaurant called askingme "Why did you throw the food to the delivery driver?? I just replied "What?? I never took the food from him, I didn't dothat, I just said to him i called restaurant to cancel the order, he apologized and left" After this she just said, "have a goodday" and hung up on me, without any explanation about what just happened. I can understand working in a restaurant can bestressful, that being said, Why do I need to tolerate this?? She said 45 minutes, I waited an hour, a simple phone call sayingthe food was bit late would have suffice, so I cancel the order, and on top of that I'm being accused of mistreatment againstthe delivery man who by the way was the only one who apologized for the issue. I worked in customer service many years, andthere is one thing i never do, i never behave like an arse with those who are providing me a service, I've been in those shoesand I know what is like. ????????

Went in at 1 pm on a Sunday, no other customers. Waited about 5 minutes to even place our order, which in light of there being 3... employees including a man folding boxes and no customers, is a little worrying. The pizza was incredibly mediocre, no tastewhatsoever besides oil. The cheese was just not good and there was so little sauce you could be forgiven for believing it wasn'tthere. It was just so bland and oily, especially the pepperoni slice, which was actively dripping oil. The only redeemingfeature was that it was crispy. This is incredibly disappointing given that the restaurant is plastered with plaques andsignage that claims the ingredients are fresh and top notch. I also noted that on the outside signage, they had scraped off"wood fired." Moreover, the staff was so quiet and distant that was very uncomfortable and made eating there depressing.Thankfully we actually got our food and the place was clean, so props for that, but based on the pizza alone I'd say it was notworth it.

We had the best best best lunch! Mussels, stromboli, shrimp scampi brushesetta, pizza, antipasta salad We had a new waiter... Gabriel who was very attentive. Read more
What a sweet find on a random delivery. Pizza was really good. Thin crust, great ratio of cheese to sauce. Chicken parm and... BBQ chicken subs were awesome. The bread was perfect, cutlets were just right. Definitely one of our favorite subs ever. Read more
