Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Have eaten here 4 times now - brought family - and had a perfect experience every time! Gorgeous food and a range of choices, perfect atmosphere, amazing gem in Northern Quarter. Always dreaming about that Milk Tart!

My wife and I were quickly sat down and drinks order taken. Food order was taken and we started with Garlic Bread, followed by Caprice Salad the Spaghetti Arrabiata . The Garlic bread came quickly but then we waited over 15 minutes but the salad never came, after a further 10 minutes the Spaghetti Arrabiata came. We questioned where the salad was but ?? We cancelled it as the Spaghetti was going cold but Oh Dear there was no taste of Arrabiata to it. As we were going to the theatre time was not on our side so had to leave. It is sad that GIOs let us down on this evening as we have been many times before and always had a good experience. We will be going again as we hope it was an odd evening for the chefs.

All the staff were fantastic, but the host ( especially ) pulled all the stops out. To receive such amazing service for just 'little old me' on a carb loading evening meal ahead of the marathon, was brilliant. He gave the same amount of attention to every single customer. And to top it all off, the food was excellent!!. I had spinach ravioli followed by tiramisu. I couldn't recommend the place highly enough!

Absolutely fantastic food and the service was quick too. Perfectly tucked away but busy so would definitely recommend booking! The pre-theatre dinner menu was great value - we will certainly be back!

We arrived late for our booking, due to traffic , but received a warm welcome and were quickly seated and served drinks and food from the pre theatre menu. Friendly and professional staff and the food was delicious. Would loved to have stayed longer but needed to rush off for the performance. Ideally located if going to the palace theatre and would definitely recommend.

An absolutely delicious meal, fantastic attentive service and a lovely atmosphere. We had the pre theatre menu which was great value for money. I would highly recommend!

Decor needs updating and food was average at best. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Prices were really high for the subpar cuisine

Excellent evening. . Beautiful food, steak perfectly cooked. Friendly staff and good service. Would go again

Wow the food and service is out of this world would highly recommend

Prices seem to have shot up and portions shrunk. it’s not the good value it used to be. Coffees were cold and manager told us to go and tell his staff off for him.

Lovely meal and great service despite being very busy. Good food and really handy for pre Bridgewater Hall performance.

Really tasty & delicious meal. Excellent service and the location is perfect if you’re going to the theatre.

We had the pre-thearter menu which was very good, service was good and value for money. Would certainly visit again

There were five of us at Gios restaurant and it was superb the staff couldn’t do enough for us the service was fantastic leaving us enough time between courses so that we didn’t feel rushed and the food was excellent we will definitely be going back

Booked for 1730 for a pre theatre meal, table for two, service was very friendly and food was delicious!! Service was as expected and we were done for 1900 and prices were expected for a city centre!

Another lunch time concert at the Bridgewater Hall, another welcome opportunity to to take lunch at Gio's. The food is wonderful and the service is friendly and professional. Would I recommend it to others? Most certainly.

Great service and a wonderful meal
