Welcome to Giovanni's

Northwest Indiana's Premier Italian Cuisine Experience

Procopio LoDuca immigrated to the United States as a young boy. He achieved the dream of owning his own restaurant and began Giovanni's on July 1, 1966. Pro's wife Nancy and daughter Mary continue to run Giovanni's in a way that he would be proud of.

Giovanni's offers expertly prepared veal, pasta, seafood and other Italian delicacies. The numerous dishes Chef Tim Merkel prepares daily will be decided upon early each morning, based on the availability of the market. Chef Tim is eager to please you with his daily effort of serving fine food. He welcomes special requests and will do his very best to meet your needs.

Our staff is here to explain the various dishes prepared by our Chef and to expertly serve them to you during your Giovanni's experience. The numerous daily specialties are for your discriminating selection and enjoyment. We recommend that you complete your dining experience with one of our fine wines and our home-made desserts.
