A Memorable First Meal in Termoli. Don Giovanni Restaurant & Steak House
It was our first time in Termoli, and like most travellers, we asked on Instagram for a good restaurant and steak house. Ristorante Don Giovanni came recommended by a local guy now living in London and it didn’t disappoint.
We went for lunch on a Friday and were warmly greeted by Davide, who genuinely took the time to listen to what we were after. He made thoughtful suggestions, not the usual generic stuff, and clearly cared about the experience. The service was faultless, and the quality of the food was fantastic.
We’ve eaten our way around the world, Dubai, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and many more. I can honestly say, you’re getting real value here. Not just price value, but quality ingredients, proper service, and care in the kitchen.
As someone who genuinely appreciates a good steak, my eye couldn’t help but catch the other plates coming from the kitchen, everything looked on point. I had pasta as well, which was absolutely fantastic and clearly made with pride. The house red wine was an ideal pairing smooth, rich and with a nice after taste. We finished with semifreddo and tiramisu, both classic, well-balanced and not overdone. A strong finish to a memorable meal.
We’ve just purchased a property nearby and I’m confident this will become one of our regular spots when in the region. If you’re visiting Termoli and looking for honest food with standout service, Don Giovanni deserves...
Read moreAbsolute perfection! My escort, who lives in Termoli, had told me very good things about this family operation. So, Don Giovanni was the first place we went upon my arrival from the US. The atmosphere is typical steakhouse--warmly elegant. And very welcoming. I especially enjoyed our table location on the second floor terrace, where we could view the activity below. The extensive menu comprises a large variety of meat cuts from some of the most famous beef producing regions of the world. Each is prepared precisely to order, in 100 gram increments, seasoned to taste with pink salt and coarse black pepper accompaniments. We also enjoyed the grilled eggplant as well as the freshly crisp salads. Don Giovanni's wine list provides multi-national selections at appropriate price points. All the staff are very gracious, and helpful with pairings. Ristorante Don Giovanni's ambiance and quality are world class. Be sure to make advance...
Read moreDinner at Don Giovani was one of the finest if not THE finest dining experience of our 3 week tour of Italy! Proprietor Davide responded to a reservation request via social media and was welcoming, warm and professional from the very start. He consulted with us before we ordered to make sure he perfectly matched our dining needs. The food was AMAZING! The steak was cooked perfectly and was melt in your mouth delicious! Davide also made sure we had the perfect pairings of sauces, side dishes and wine to make the meal and dining experience memorable. Termoli is a GEM of a beachside town in the beautiful region of Molise and Don Giovanni was our best dining experience during our 3 night stay in town. We Will definitely return and thank Davide and his staff from the bottom of our hearts for the warmth and...
