cynt Posted September 13, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Ask them for a surf and turf, the filet mignon plus the grilled prawns. DELICIOUS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted September 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Our favorite specialty restaurant. Wife and I always get the filet. I'm also a big fan of the carbonara, picky wife gets plain risotto (no mushrooms) as her pasta. For an app, sometimes they are able to give me the fried calamari from the lunch menu, sometimes not, in which case I get the meat and cheese board which is also very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted September 13, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) I love the Osso Buco, filet and the Pork Belly and will never miss the Ahi Tuna appetizer plate. Not much for pasta except lasagna which they don't do. Edited September 13, 2022 by BecciBoo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, this thread has me drooling but I looked up the menu on freedom and don't see pork belly, ahi tuna or risotto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't mind sort of making up a dish that isn't on the menu? Also, do the pizza's count as an entree? I think it might be nice to pick one and share among the 4 of us as an appetizer.

That's because Freedom has the newer version of Giovanni's... Giovanni's Italian Kitchen. Most of the responses above refer to the original version... Giovanni's Table.

cello56 Posted September 13, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I think Chops relies on their sauces to give their filet flavor. Giovanni's filet is so much more flavorful and tasty in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look again...the ahi tuna is called Tonno Crudo Pork Belly is Pancetti di Maiale and risotto-Risotto Ai Quattro Funghi Lookin at my phone right now its all there. At least for our Grandeur cruise next week. I have had all of the above. Edited September 13, 2022 by BecciBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasukkie Posted September 13, 2022 #20 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I can tell you what not to get. I love grilled octopus and the Giovanni version I received was rather wet and soupy, without any smoky char, and thus rubber bandy. I had the prawn entree. The prawns were fine, but the plating over potato puree was a very poor choice. I love potatoes, bake them, mash them, fry them, but save the pureed version for nursing homes. My dining partner didn't care for the risotto. We joked Giovanni's was a poor man's Olive Garden. If I ever do go back I will definitely try the filet, sounds good.

I disagree. It has more pasta dishes. Much more "Italian American" flavor. Most U.S. residents think pasta and pizza as Italian, then Ahi Tuna. I find some of the specialty restaurant menus to be a bit poncy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzingduo Posted September 14, 2022 #22 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Just got off Oasis. We loved the Osso Bucco, taglatelli bolonnese, minestone soup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
