authentic ITALIAN CUISINE
made with love
Welcome to Giovi Fine Food Limited.
Our founder, Giovanna, has a true passion for authentic Italian cuisine, crafted with only the finest ingredients and, of course, love! Growing up in the food and hospitality industry, where her family ran a successful business dating back to the sixties, she developed a deep appreciation for good food and wine.
This background inspired her to share her passion with the locals and tourists of Queenstown, where she now lives with her family.
Giovanna opened her first shop a few months before COVID, which made things challenging at the start. However, with the support of her dedicated team, she managed to continue and expand her offerings, always maintaining a keen focus on quality and service.
She is now proud to deliver the same excellence across her three restaurants – Giovi, Pronto, and Farelli’s – with a new location in Arrowtown opening soon.
She believes that taking the extra time, honoring traditional methods, and ensuring great attention to detail is what makes her food truly special. Our loyal customers certainly agree! (Discover Reviews Here)
Our Food
Philosophy
ALWAYS FRESH
Our pasta and focaccia bread are made fresh daily with high-grade flour, free-range eggs and extra virgin olive oil. We slow-cook our Angus beef sauce to make a rich lasagne sauce. We have combined our sandwich fillings for maximum flavour and complexity to deliver a delicious, flavour packed experience.
IN SEASON
Sourcing the best ingredients takes time and dedication. This is something Giovi and her team take very seriously and handle with passion. Combined with premium imported products from Italy.
AUTHENTIC ITALIAN
Giovanna has a true passion for authentic Italian cuisine, made with only the best ingredients and of course, love! Growing up in the food and hospitality industry, many of her close family members own and operate successful food and wine businesses throughout Italy. We also serve fine Italian wine directly from her family vineyard La Montina.
