Mom and Pop Restaurant Treats You Like Family

While pizzerias and Italian restaurants are a dime a dozen in New Jersey, very few are your cozy little “mom and pop” style restaurants. Giovanni’s Place is owned and operated by Giovanni Impelluso himself, along with his wife, Melina. From the moment you walk through the door they are there to greet you, take your order, cook, and serve your food to you, which is why Giovanni's Place is this week's pick for Bites Nearby.

Each week, Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:

-Giovanni and Melina have been in Butler for seven years and bring new dishes and specials on a bi-weekly basis. One of their popular specialty winter dishes is the “Sunday Dinner” which is pasta with meatballs, sausage and pork served with ricotta cheese on the side. Whether you are looking to call in for a pizza, sit down for a dinner, or grab a quick sandwich for lunch, Giovanni’s will deliver fine food that will appease your appetite. Giovanni's is also a finalist in the contest. Giovanni’s is located at 1295 Route 23 South in the Birchwell Shopping Center in Butler.
