    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.

    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.
