This was a delightful experience. Attentive yet discreet service & food prepared by people who care about tastes & texture.
My lamb was absolutely perfect with a sauce that was exquisite.

We had dinner at Geso tonight a tucked away little gem. We started off with the Frito Misto which was superb. I had the Osso Boco with Saffron Risotto which was to die for & my husband had the Bistecca was fine to perfection. The food here is fresh & amazing. Giancarlo & the staff were very attentive & cordial. We will be back to try something else from the menu.
