For those who thought nothing new could happen in an Italian restaurant, cafe Giovanni begs to differ. For almost two decades, chef Duke LoCicero has been serving his "New World Italian Cuisine" at cafe Giovanni. This cooking is best… Read Full Editorial

THE BEST VEAL ON THE PLANET !!! by LA Barrister via Citysearch on 12/17/2011

Chef Duke Locicero has a real "way" with Italian food, especially veal. I never thought I would ever say this (heavy sigh) but his Paneed Veal is better than my (family recipe handed down through my Caprise great-grandmother) veal. Chef…

Good food poor owner/management by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 4/4/2011

While visiting New Orleans we looked for a special restaurant to celebrate my husband’s birthday the food was good but the owner/manager was rude and demonstrated he did not come close to meeting his business model. He spoke of how the…

A different Restaurant by engenb via Citysearch on 5/20/2010

This restaurant is quite different fromn the usual French Quarter style. The location is good and there is plentiful parking nearby. The restaurant is fairly small but accomadates large and small parties. The food was very good. We had…

Mr. E.J. by Elton T via Insider Pages on 5/2/2009

Best Italian Restaurant I have ever had the pleasure to dine at. Food was cooked to perfection, waiters/waitress are very skilled at what they are doing, opera singers are there every Wed., Fri., and Saturdays. Chef Duke has a excellent…

Very romantic by Wasers via Citysearch on 2/27/2008

Bravo Chef Duke:\r Chef Duke made our first trip back to New Orleans since katrina wonderful. My husband was a bit disappointed when he did not see his favorite dish on the Menu but was more than happy to try something new. Our waiter…

Chef Duke... it's passable. Decent piccata... by EoghanD via Menuism on 9/11/2007

Chef Duke... it's passable. Decent piccata when on menu. With maximo's gone; where downtown is there to get...

Like dining at the secluded estate of an Italian noble addicted to food. by Contributor via Citysearch on 3/30/2006

In Short
The main dining room invites lingering. Exposed brick, vaulted mirrors and a baby grand combine for refined romance. Window-front tables overlook passersby, reinforcing the sense of dining a world apart from the…

Overrated! by y2flu via Citysearch on 7/26/2004

I ate here on Friday, July 23 and was not impressed. Oysters Giovanni was average at best-- oysters were plump and perfectly cooked, but the sauce was nothing spectacular-- a few swirls of ginger, apricot, and raspberry purees intertwined…

awesome dining experience by Heidi2003 via Citysearch on 2/8/2003

My husband and I love to try different resteraunts. I found Cafe Giovanni on the internet and it seemed like it would be an interesting place to eat. The service was wonderful and the food was very good. We had the Oyster Giovanni for…

New World Italian by gwwood via Citysearch on 12/30/2002

This was a great all around experience. The food was fantastic. The chef and wait staff were attentive. The singers entertaining, and the atmosphere suitable for romance or business. It will be one of my favorites.

Bella, Bella by gdconser via Citysearch on 7/30/2002

The cusine is excellent. I refer to it as gourmet Italian with a contemporty flair. Innovative and wonderful! The atmosphere is romantic and the opera singing waiters are bellisimo! A thouroughly delightful, romantic dining experience.

What a Feast! by nwillis via Citysearch on 7/29/2002

We were treated to a feast of food that had only one problem. There was actually too much food. Each course built upon the last and unfortunately, the last course was the best. By then, we were all uncomfortably full. Of course, there…
