- Setting the Stage
As you step through our doors, you’ll immediately sense that this is no ordinary dining establishment. The atmosphere is imbued with a sense of grandeur and elegance that mirrors the opulence of the opera house itself. From the sumptuous décor to the soft, ambient lighting, every element is designed to set the mood for an evening of sophistication and artistic appreciation.
- The Culinary Overture
Just as an opera begins with an overture that sets the tone for the acts to follow, your dining experience kicks off with a curated selection of appetizers that offer a glimpse into the culinary journey ahead. Our chefs have crafted a menu that harmonises perfectly with the themes and emotions evoked by the world’s greatest operas.
- The Main Act
As you transition from appetizers to the main course, you’ll find that our offerings are as diverse and intricate as any opera’s storyline. From sumptuous pasta dishes that pay homage to Italian operatic traditions to innovative creations that take inspiration from modern compositions, there’s something to satisfy every palate. And just like a well-executed aria, each dish aims to leave an indelible impression, making your dining experience as memorable as the performance you’re about to witness.
- Timeless Pairings
No opera is complete without the perfect orchestration, and the same goes for a fine dining experience. Our sommeliers are on hand to recommend wine pairings that not only complement your meal but also enhance the overall experience. Whether it’s a robust red to accompany a hearty entrée or a crisp white to pair with lighter fare, the wines are selected to offer a seamless transition from the dining table to the opera hall.
- The Final Act
As the evening winds down and you prepare to make your way to the opera house, which is conveniently located just a short stroll away, you’ll find that the transition is as smooth as the final notes of a well-executed performance. Our staff ensures that your dining experience aligns perfectly with your opera schedule, allowing you ample time to savour your meal without feeling rushed.

And for those who find it hard to say goodbye, Giovanni’s offers post-opera dining options that serve as the perfect encore to a magical night. Whether it’s a decadent dessert or a handcrafted cocktail, it’s a fitting way to reflect on the beauty and emotion of the opera while prolonging the evening’s delights.
