Jumped straight into the hot and spicy . It was good. But, had to order the scampi halfway through because I couldn't handle the heat (and I'm usually fine with spicy ).
Hot & Spicy with garlic on rice is the only way to go. Best shrimp in North Shore. The one in Kahuku has shorter lines and gives you more hot sauce and garlic on your plate!
Shrimp scampi was def the best. Spicy one has a kick but manageable (they’ve toned it down). Only complaint is that the shrimps are usually kinda small
Get the shrimp scampi and be happy in your garlicky bliss. Ask for hot sauce on the side (no refunds if you get the hot shrimp plate ...it's hot!). Watch for pieces of shell in your garlic sauce .
Get the Original Shrimp Scampi (add hot sauce on the side if you like spicy things). AMAZING! I had to eat this twice while I was here.
Delicious shrimp . But be prepared to be attacked by baby flies if you sit at a picnic table . Truly a country experience ????
Best shrimp truck in the island ! Shrimp scampi and lemon butter , ask for spicy sauce on the side. Worth every penny. Delicious!
Shrimp Scampi ! Hot sauce is HOT! Get it on the side if you like it spicy . Delicious and messy!
I thought it was hype until I ate there! We tried a less busy place and was disappointed. The line was big but tried the real deal. It is!
Get the original garlic shrimp scampi with the hot sauce on the side! Get here early because they close at 5pm!
MUST TRY!! Delicious and authentic !! Get the garlic shrimp scampi and lemon butter . Can't go wrong cause it lives up to the tourist hype!
Get the Scampi and extra napkins
Worth the wait. Get the shrimp scampi with a side of hot sauce !
The best food I had on Oahu. Garlic shrimp is the thing!
The garlic shrimp were the best! Huge shrimp served in 1 pound portions. Had to get an extra plate to go.
Excellent garlic scampi for sure - but taking everything into account , the 14$ plates are overpriced. Be prepared to be swarmed by hordes of flies. Also bring wet wipes,there are no washing stations.
The garlic shrimp was okay, don't really see what the hype is all about, it's just plain ol' shrimp with A LOT of minced garlic . The macaroni salad on the other hand is my fav on the island so far!
Very garlic-ky and buttery shrimp . Expect a line . There are other food trucks /shops/beach to check out in the area.
Half scampi (most popular) and half lemon & butter is great. I can't handle the heat!
Shrimp Scampi , for sure. The hot and spicy didn't do it for me--it was a good amount of heat, but too much like Tabasco (sour!)
Get the hot and spicy shrimp ! It's really hot but has the best flavor! So worth the trip!
Happy you enjoyed it marissa... We are always working on the fly issue and will continue to do so into the future....
This place had the longest line of all the food trucks . The shrimp scampi &Mac salad was good but not worth the drive from Waikiki. I'm sure there are places much closer that taste just as good.
Perfectly said to all future customers Roxanne.... Happy you enjoyed and hope to see you again in the future....
Excellent sautéed shrimp !
Great food truck stop . Shrimp was fantastic.
Garlic shrimp plate is the best!!!
Garlic shrimps???? Very good taste!!
Shrimp Scampi - Garlic Hot Dog also AMAZING
Letting everyone know that Giovanni's will be at the Ho'olaulea festival on kalakaua ave. in Waikiki on September 21, 2013.... See you there...
Amazing food truck !!! Get the spicy shrimp for sure!
Go half scampi / half lemon butter . Steak & green beans from the truck across the way quite good too,
Thank you for the honest review and hope to see you again in the future...
Food was really good! Not sure if was worth the wait, though..
That is very good advice J.H..... It can be very strong for most people... Take care..
Get the shrimp scampi + lemon butter on the side!
Shrimp scampi is a must have!
Stick with the original garlic shrimp scampi that blew your mind away--Giovanni's! Famous for a reason.
We think so as well Alice and are happy you enjoyed it....
Thank you for letting me know about the mistake... I will make sure to make the change...
Aloha! Sit at someone else's tables to value biting flies.
Sorry to hear you feel that way James... It is very expensive to do business in Hawaii... Enjoy the island ..
We from Giovanni's thank you for the kind words and hope to see you back in the future.
The don't know what your saying Daewook, but I hope it is good... Hope to see you again in the future.
Don't forget to sign the truck and buy a shirt !
Spicy shrimp was great but could have been spicier.
Extremely overrated! Mike's Shrimp Trunk is way, way better and have more options including huli huli chiken. The hot dog was DELICIOUS for a change.
It is very spicy Calvin... Did you try the scampi shrimp ...
Don't judge a book by it's cover Adam B... Glad you enjoyed the shrimp truck .
Get the original garlic shrimp scampi , you won't regret it.
Love the gnarly nachos!!! So many great flavors here. - nikol bross
Sooo good!! Sweet potato noodles are awesome. Get lots of meat here for your dollar. - Shannon Fuchs
The most famous shaved ice spot on the north shore. Line moves fairly quickly, tons of flavors to choose from. Loved the tropical combo with guava, papaya and lilikoi. - Meg Farmer
Dole whip with pineapples is a must! Also the crunchy choc covered pineapples were pretty good as well..makes a great gift - Allison Nunez
Beautiful sandy beach. The swimming is usually good although there is a steep drop off making bodysurfing a little painful (but still doable) - Ella B.
