Giovanni Ristorante in New York City is where you will find chef Patrick Nuti, who allowed us to steal the delicious recipe for a traditional Tuscan soup prepared with a variety of fish. The menu at Giovanni is full of mouthwatering, rustic Italian dishes that can be enjoyed in one of the many dining areas of the restaurant: the trompe l’oeil-painted Pavilion Room; the Card Room, with its painted playing cards watching over the diners; the more private Club Room; or the main dining room or marble-topped bar. The ambience and the delicious northern Italian fare make this the perfect stop for lunch or dinner on your night out in the Big Apple.
