Quelle déception! Soirée d'amoureux gâchée. Enterrement de vie de fille: ça gueulait (littéralement) dans le restaurant. Nous avons demandé à changer de place, impossible de s'entendre parler, mais ce n'était guère mieux côté bar: un autre groupe fêtait un anniversaire en se croyant seuls. C'était aussi bruyant. Quant à la nourriture, autre déception: les calmars fris étaient mous & caoutchouteux. Le plat de pennes polpetine de mon conjoint était réussi, mais mon plat de capellini monteverde était fade, gras, lourd & insipide. Je n'y ai trouvé qu'un seul épinard, 5-6 champignons & 2 morceaux de prosciutto. Oui, j'ai compté. Je n'ai mangé que le quart de mon assiette. La serveuse comprenait, était désolée, nous a mentionné que ce n'était pas une bonne soirée, mais sans plus. Nous avons demandé l'addition & avons quitté.
We stopped in for dinner on the way home from the polar bear spa, & had a delicious Italian food served by a friendly waitress. The atmosphere in the bar part is very much locals catching up, so it's a cozy place

Quaint Italian restaurant. Kids loved the chicken with lemon sauce. The spaghetti's with palpatine sauce is the best dish we ordered. The carbonara wasn't spectacular but it was good. fried Calamari was delicious too.
Je ne peux attribuer une note plus élevée, car nous étions six & aucun d'entre nous n'a apprécié son repas. La serveuse était très sympathique, mais malheureusement, la qualité de la nourriture ne correspondait pas à nos attentes. J'avais fréquenté cet établissement il y a plusieurs années (entre 2007 & 2009), & de mes souvenirs, l'expérience était meilleure. Je me demande si l'administration actuelle est la même qu'à l'époque.
Went to Gio's with my parents & wife during a ski trip. The quality of the food was very good, more then good great. We all ordered something different, the plates were nice presented, the taste was above expectation. The staff was friendly & helpful. The cost of this diner was more then reasonable, taking account of the quality of service & food. We will definitely go back.
