Dinner was wonderful! The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The Mediterranean pasta and veal parmigiana were amazing. Our server was lovely and managed to get us more bread while we waited on entrees. It was a relaxing meal - no big push to get the table turned, even on a Saturday night.

We absolutely love Gio's and stop in for dinner when we can. Our last visit, my veal tasted odd and I was quickly offered another selection, which was wonderful.

This was our first time dining at Gios. I highly recommend it. The ambience was relaxing and welcoming. Our waitress was attentive and knowlegable about the dishes we asked about. The food was excellent, fresh and hot (not lukewarm)...very delicious. Good bread served when we arrived with delicious olive oil for dipping. Great wine list. Excellent value! We will return.

Gio's is one of our favorite restaurants on the Strand. It has delicious food and the atmosphere is cozy and elegant. There were three of us and we all enjoyed our meals immensely. The Ceasar was traditional with anchovies. Better appetizers than desserts so front load a bit. Big portions and attentive staff.

Food was great. Set up and service was slow. Sat us at a table that was in a high traffic area and was bumped multiple times.

The service and the food was good as usual. My only complaint is the noise level in the main dining room is really loud. It is hard to have a conversation. The tables are very close together. Next time I will ask to be seated in the back dining room. It seems much quieter and the tables are spaced further apart.
