Editorial Review for Ristorante Don Giovanni – by Laura Reiley
The Scene
One of the only Italian joints on Castro Street, its high ceilings, sleek mahogany bar, and crisp white linens make it a natural for a romantic assignation.
The Food
The antipasto misto is a nice shared appetizer, requiring the use of fingers to pop in an olive or a hunk of velvety fresh mozzarella. It's hard to circumnavigate the pastas in order to try one of the entrees like veal saltimbocca or pollo al pomodoro picante (chicken breast in a spicy fresh tomato sauce)--really huge appetites will be able to plow right through the pastas (maybe gnocchi in suave tomato sage sauce? linguine with pesto?) and keep up the pace through an entree, too. Whatever your strategy, be sure to leave sufficient room for a slice of amaretto cheesecake.

We just went to this restaurant today and it was very nice. The food is good and the restaurant looks great. The waiter that served us seemed like he was in a hurry all the time but wasn't rude. You should definitely check this restaurant - the Italian food here is quite different than in other Italian restaurants, it's cooked much better and has a nice twist to it (even though the ideas for dishes are similar as in other restaurants). In other places you get same dishes with same taste, nothing much interesting unlike this restaurant. The food isn't very cheap but you're getting your money's worth! TRY IT!

Food was good, ambiance was nice, but though it wasn't all that crowded, the server seemed to rush us into making our orders quickly. On the up side of service was that our water glasses were always promptly filled. The food delivery time was nice and fast; tiramisu for dessert was good. The single malt selection was average (I think about 10), but the prices were very competitive.
