"Want to know why Giovanna 's only gets 4 stars? It 's because despite the fact that I called in a takeout order 30 minutes before arriving, and was told it would take 25 minutes, they only STARTED making the 6 sandwiches when I arrived. That process took 20 minutes, which I had to sit there and wait for. Once I got them home we ate them, the cheese steaks were pretty good, but suffered from that annoying problem of all the steak in the middle , and none at the ends, which isn 't a big deal, but needs to be dealt with before real enjoyment can be had. The Italian hoagies subs to those from elsewhere were fairly standard, except for the annoying fact that they put a slice of ham over top of the other sandwich toppings. I know this to be somewhat common practice, but I personally prefer the meats cheese together, below the lettuce, tomato, onions, especially because one never knows if there will be too much or too little lettuce, tomato, or onions, which will need to be taken care of before enjoying the sandwich. Their selection of cold beer is actually pretty impressive for an operation this size, so if you missed the distributor closing, you can get something decent here. They also have the standard ubiquitous macro brews All told, I would go back again to give them a second chance, because the food was quite good, but I don 't like being told a wait time, and then being forced to wait even longer. I really hate waiting. Waiting stinks, so if you also dislike waiting, ask them to start cooking immediately, and maybe you can avoid the wait. :"
