RFerrington Posted July 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I concur. Giovanni's is much better than Jaimie's and IMO the old Portofino's is better than either one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted July 18, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I like both of them. So do I. To answer the questions above, they are not the same. There are many kinds of Italian cuisine. Giovanni's Table is a more "traditional" pasta-based menu, with other things, of course. It is closer to what many people consider "Italian", particularly if they don't live in a large city with many options. Jamie's Italian is an English chef's take on upscale Italian-ish cuisine, and it is much less pasta-centric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am basing this review on someone saying that Giovanni's Yoki is so much better and the Filet is good. The Panchatta (sp) and the Octopus. Not sure if these are served at Jamie's or NOT..????

vistapat Posted July 18, 2018 #17 Share Posted July 18, 2018 What is Yoki? Suspect, since it was heard on video, that OP means gnocchi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted July 18, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 18, 2018 As you can see, I borrowed these from Gambee's cruise website. These are not the most recent menus. You can see that there is no octopus. I don't recall ever seeing octopus at Giovanni's Table. But that could be my memory. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted July 18, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 18, 2018 In addition, no RC ship has both. They are Italian restaurants; there is one or the other. Portofino was RC's original Italian restaurant, when they first began to have specialty restaurants on the ships, back in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted July 18, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 18, 2018 These menus are from Jamie's on the Anthem, but I am guessing that it's the same on Harmony. https://eatsleepcruise.com/2016/07/restaurant-review-jamies-italian-on-anthem-of-the-seas/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
