Review Summary

Gio's Restaurant is generally appreciated for its excellent service, inviting atmosphere, and affordable menu options, particularly the lunch specials. Many guests highlight the quality of the food and the pleasant setting of the new location, though experiences regarding meal consistency and noise levels vary significantly. While some patrons praise the restaurant as a go-to spot with generous portions, others have noted inconsistencies in food temperature, preparation, and staff attentiveness. Despite mixed reviews on specific dishes and the acoustics in the dining room, the establishment remains a popular choice for many, especially for those enjoying the outdoor terrace.

We usually come in the summer so this was our first time in winter. Same excellent service as usual. The pasta dishes & pizzas are what my family loves. It was a bit tight between tables & restaurant was a bit chilly so maybe bring a warm top or shawl to cover up.

Excellent service & food, & we really enjoyed the vibe of this place. Also, the team was friendly, knowledgeable, & helpful about gluten free dietary restrictions. Gio's does not offer gluten free pasta, pizza crust, or bread. But there were multiple entrees on the menu that could be modified to make them gluten free. I had the chicken florentine with mixed veggies & it was terrific, & had zero issues with cross contamination. We sat on the terrace, aka the front porch of the charming, historic home. Though the indoor seating & great patio out back (with a water feature) also looked inviting.

Nice & cozy restaurant. Great quality Italian food. Good size portions. I liked the Gio salad more than the Cesar. They offer a choice of pasta noddles that are combined with different sauces. I had the penne with meat sauce. My wife & mother both had the linguine with Paesano sauce. All were very tasty. They have a good wine list with reasonable prices. Staff is very friendly & attentive. Free Parking in front of the restaurant or across the street in the public lot. We will return.

The quality of food & service was excellent. The wine selection & prices are good. The Gio salad is served with a very tasty dressing. I would recommend that salad over the Cesar. The pasta dishes are plentiful. I tried the Penne with meat sauce. The others had the Fettuccine with the Paesano sauce. Both tasted wonderful. The ambiance is nice & our server was professional & attentive. We will return again.

We wanted Italian pasta & did have what we came for. The atmosphere was very nice in the back deck, very homey feel. The service was good, bathrooms ok, careful of the top stairs & un even floor due to an ageing building. Parking close but neat full. The food was ok, nothing to write home about. The escargot with cream sauce was bland & had fewer snails than mushrooms, cutting corners, it was obvious.

Service was good. Space needs love. Finally food was ordinary. Apetizers such as calamari should not be on the menu. Seafood pasta had no taste other than the cream used in the sauce, & almost no seafood in it. Others ordered veal à la lemon & another with cream sauce. Again, no taste. Finally, couldn't think they could serve a weak espresso. Not the usual chef obviously. Not worth the price either. Will give them another chance.

Simply amazing. The pasta was fresh & authentic Italian! You must try it with chicken. The service is excellent & the ambiance is perfect. I also had the best filet mignon. I cannot wait to return. Thank you Gio's

To be perfectly honest I cannot talk negativly about this restaurant. Food was great & the staff very catering!
I'm gluten intolerent & I felt like eating pasta & they had an option for which was great. I took the pasta with seafood & after I ordered the waiter came back to inform me that one of the fish had gluten in it! Thought to myself that everyone really did care from the waiting all the way back to the kitchen.
The only unpleasant thing about this place is its size! The dining room was big like my appartment with a party of 20 people :(
For the rest all was great & would highly recommend.
