From day one, we have wanted this little restaurant to be a space where anyone can feel comfortable & welcomed. Classic French cuisine is the root of this ethos - consistent, familiar and even nostalgic flavours from the tried & true feel good classics, yet slightly elevated with a touch of whimsy. Whether you are up for a curated culinary experience with our 4 & 7 Course tasting menus (Fri & Sat evenings), or prefer to choose your own adventure with our 3-course Table D’hote menu (Wed & Thurs evenings), or are in search of an upscale lunch à la carte menu (Thur - Sat); we have you covered! Our menus are composed entirely to showcase the best local products in Lanark County & the Ottawa Valley and are tailored monthly to best celebrate the tastes of the season. What’s more is that we tie it all together with the best small town, friendly, warm and courteous service around. Just like at a good friend’s house; we look forward to welcoming you to our kitchen! Ian Carswell (Chef/Owner)

Giovanni�s Ristorante, which you can find in Ottawa, Ontario, is proud of its reputation for serving some of the finest Italian cuisine in the surrounding area. The staff insists upon only the finest ingredients like AAA steaks and seafood taken fresh from the sea. Guests will also enjoy the lovely d�cor, which is filled with gleaming crystal, in addition to the food at Giovanni�s Ristorante. One great way to start your meal at Giovanni�s Ristorante is with one of the excellent soups, such as the minestrone or the stracciatella. When you make it to the main meal, you might try one of the veal dishes. The veal marsala, with mushrooms and a wine sauce, is just one of many options.

Our strong commitment to make a distinctive offer of excellence available has been validated by our customers with consistent 5-star reviews on Google and TripAdvisor.
The food offer is inspired by the fascinating Western and Eastern Mediterranean culinary traditions-French, Greek, Italian, Macedonian and Spanish. For instance, our pizza is made of "Green" dough (antioxidants, minerals and vitamins infused) in a brick oven according to a recipe older than one century. We also offer authentic appetizers, tapas, flat breads, salads and iconic mains from the multicultural heritage of the Mediterranean civilization.
For a more refined and sophisticated experience, our meals are accompanied by selected, elegant and affordable wines including Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, and others.
The symphony of flavors of our food and wine is complemented by the inviting interior of wood and stone, informal seating arrangements, arts and warm atmosphere.
