Simply stated, Gio is the definitive dining experience of downtown Halifax. Since inception in 2006, the restaurant has garnered critical acclaim from those impressed by the ambition and execution of its four-diamond food and service. Dining with a twist, expect fun aside fancy, from the atmosphere to the plate. A divine and diverse menu shifts with every season, combining the best in local and global ingredients. Open for dinner and Sunday brunch, the restaurant also offers exquisite cocktails designed to enhance your experience and features a sommelier-selected wine list. Gio's private dining can easily accommodate groups of 10 to 20 with our Chef Greg Burns offering individually crafted menus to personalize your time with us.
We are perfectly located in the center of downtown just moments away from sporting, music and theatrical venues.

    O feel more relaxing music would be nicer and just less poppy. E.g. jazz. Something more sophisticated. Excellent service by our waiter. I wish the tables were bigger - always feels crowded once drinks, plate etc. On table.

    Super impressed by the food and drinks! My only issue was with the fact that it took awhile for us to get our drink order in at the beginning of the meal. Other than that it was perfect!

    Dine here for the 3rd time celebrating our anniversary early as it is the end of the month and couldn't make it down then. We selected the dine around menu. The starters were ok, my vegan option, and the mushrooms were inedible. Too tough. Our server Molly offered to get me something else, but I declined. The dessert were great.We decided to go to Gio as we were staying at the Prince George Hotel, and we loved the ambiance there..

    One of the best Dine Around menus. And always a pleasure to enjoy dining at Gio. A perfect food selection & a varied wine list. Very good pricing on both food & wine & a lovely atmosphere. And most definitely wonderful, personable & attentive service. The meal was delicious & certainly to be repeated. Thanks so much to Olivia for your outstanding service!

    Our February Dine around meal was delicious(Halibut Cheek, Osso Buco &Lamb shank), every coarse got better. Service, cocktails were top notch. Noise level was very high so don’t expect to be able to carry on a conversation with the area filled with people, but the food & service made up for that! We will be back!

    Our waitress, Terry, was amazing. She took excellent care of us and we especially appreciated her assistance getting our 5 year old grandson settled with a child-friendly meal. Our meals were beautiful and delicious!
