Just can't say enough about the food, service & atmosphere of DiGiovanni's. Best Gnocchi w/marina and Ravioli w/crab we've ever had. Food prices were so inexpensive we could splurge on Reserve Italian wine. Desserts were huge & yummy; sharing recommended.

The food was good made by an authentic Italian chef from Venice. Even though this was not their busy season we were spoken to condescendingly by the hostess when we announced that we did not have reservations. We decided to stay and enjoy ourselves anyway. The restaurant was never full and always had several tables available. We probably will not... More

We went to DiGiovanni’s on a windy and chilly March 14th for an early dinner. It was our first time and after reading some of the reviews I decided to make reservations. Also based on some of the reviews, we weren’t sure what to expect, but after being seated by the hostess who offered us our choice of tables, we... More

It is not often you find a restaurant which offers food the caliber of DiGiovannis in an atmosphere that is inviting. Gerri and Cef set a great tone and are friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent and that is coming from an Italian who is a snob about Italian food, having grown up on what Nana makes! We look... More

Welcome back Gerri and Seff, we missed you. Now that the previous owners are running the restaurant again it is definitely a place to have a great dinner. The location and ambiance have always been fantastic (on the water) and the inside is charming and intimate. The food now is equal to the location. I had the pork chops (2... More

I received an email stating that the original owners of DiGiovanni's have come out of retirement as well as their chef. My husband and I went to dinner at DiGiovanni's tonight to see what all the hype was about. I started with a cup of coffee to help get rid of a headache, did the trick. I then had a... More

The original owners have returned and the food is as fantastic as it was in the old days. Thank God we have a great place to eat in a family atmosphere on the Island again.

Our first time visiting Solomon's Island and we loved it. Had a very nice family meal at Digiovanni's, good service and good Italian food. The view is lovely.

We almost missed this place as it is tucked back a bit, on the narrows. We enjoyed the view and would like to return sometime when it is warm enough to sit on the patio. I had a house salad and one of the specials, which was a pumpkin ravioli with a cream sauce over fresh spinach. It was unusual... More

If you can get past the very tired 80's decor and somewhat boring atmosphere you could actually enjoy this place. Doing interesting combinations with Italian and seafood. Clams were excellent! Wish they would stop serving rice with most of the seafood dishes- a little pasta on the side makes way too much sense. Good bread, good service but a marginal... More
