Authentic Italian pizza and other all-time favorites are available at Giovanni’s.

(Special Advertising Feature) — Saipan’s legendary and premiere Italian dining venue is back at Hyatt Regency Saipan! “Giovanni’s” is open again with the return of an authentic Italian a la carte menu, every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Humble yet proud, Executive Chef Matteo Fracalossi said Giovanni’s offerings reflect a very fundamental Italian cuisine with a truly trattoria style — authentic comfort food.
“Trattoria is less formal and straightforward. When you are craving for simple yet authentic Italian dishes, Giovanni’s will always ensure fresh ingredients with a delightful aroma. Our menu is created for every preference with diverse flavors.”
“We have created dishes from the different provinces of Italy. From the Alps in the North to the Mediterranean in the South — that is our effort to bring the spirit of Italy to Saipan,” he added.
Giovanni’s serves unique culinary delights. “For example, our Spaghetti alla Luciana. This main course consists of octopus stew with red wine and tomato as base. It becomes a sauce when we sauté the pasta together with the seafood,” Fracalossi said.
Giovanni’s menu consists of antipasti, which includes carpaccio di manzo (thinly sliced beef tenderloin, parmigiana cream, toasted pine nut, micro green) and fritto misto (deep fried calamari, shrimp, mahi mahi with lemon). The main courses include lamb, pork or angus beef, and seafood. All-time favorites such as pizza, pasta, and Italian desserts are also available.
Fracalossi highly recommends two of his signature dishes. “The first is Crostini Toscani. It is composed of ripe tomato, chicken liver and black olive bruschetta, mixed salad and a balsamic dressing on the side. Fresh and simple ingredients are the key to an authentic meal. The flavors remind me of how my mother would put together such a unique taste that makes it unforgettable to me,” he said.
His second recommendation is Testaroli “because it is a very particular pasta. It is first seared in a cast iron pan before it is boiled in water.”
Hyatt Regency Saipan welcomes everyone to experience the return of an authentic Italian menu. A la carte dinner is available every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Enjoy the new a la carte dinner menu with items starting from $12.
