Specialty Dining on Royal Caribbean
One of the aspects of cruising in which Royal Caribbean excels is the onboard specialty dining. From delicious steakhouse fare in Chops Grill, to the perfected sushi at Izumi; every specialty restaurant onboard offers a wide array of delicious options. One of the most popular options is the Italian flavors of Giovanni’s Table.
Similar to Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen, Giovanni’s Table focused heavily on the pasta options. There are many incredible menu items including tagliatelle carbonara, gorgonzola gnocchi, seafood linguini, as well as non-pasta dishes ranging from garlicky herb prawns to seared filet mignon.
