    We were seven relatives from Vancouver to Halifax who had not been together for a while. I had left a voicemail asking for a quiet spot and we were given a somewhat private space. The wait staff (Terri) was truly wonderful and cared for us as if we were very special guests. The food was very good and plated beautifully. Everyone agreed that Gio was a special place!
