The food was excellent and good value for money,however the service was very poor, whilst wiring for the carvery, no chef in attendance yet two kitchen staff hastily preparing Just eat delivery service meals,after the queue increased eventually a clearly under pressure last came to carve the meats, after a considerable wait for the carved meat we were then met by another wait for fresh vegetables only to be hijacked again by the Just eat brigade. Customers were talking about the poor service back at their tables, some even vowing to go elsewhere, not a good advert despite the good food.

We came for breakfast, it was very nice with lots of choice, the only let down was the coffee

Visited this restaurant prior to a theatre visit and had the Early Bird menu. Both food and service were excellent, and it was very good value for money. The portions were huge, and my only suggestion would be that they offered two courses as well as three. We were rushing to make the theatre on time and as the portions were so huge we could have done without the dessert. However, it was all delicious. The wine was good value too.

Lovely food, great service, in a friendly and lively atmosphere.

Enjoyed a delicious pre- theatre lunch on Saturday before the ballet. All was delicious. Excellent service. Thank you.

Arrived at 8.05 having booked a table and sat down almost straight away. we ordered food and yes staff were very friendly and attentive but once we had had the starters they seemed happy to keep serving us drinks but at 9.45 we had to ask where our main courses were. The chicken dish in cream sauce came in a tomato sauce and the salmon dish, which came with rice, we asked a for without mushrooms and it came with mushrooms. Plus we asked for a side of potatoes and we ended up with two lots of potatoes and no rice. We pointed these issues out to the Manager who did indeed rectify this problem to our satisfaction. It was just a shame that it did put a bit of a damper on the night.

We have been coming here for a few years now and always welcomed with a smile as well as an amazing survic the food is supurb. Friendly atmosphere. Will see you soon

Had a lovely lunch, the starters, all different were delicious and very generous. The garlic bread as impressive as ever and the calzone enjoyed by 3 of our party. No room for dessert! Service was delightful

We were a party of 7 we went for breakfast very nice and plenty to choose from staff were very nice

Beautiful food with great service. Chips might've been the best I've had.

Had a lovely meal here before going to the theatre. The food was lovely, I was so happy to be served vegetables with my meal that were colourful, plentiful and cooked perfectly. My husband gave the tiramisu a 10 out of 10. We will definitely be coming back.

Booked for a Sunday afternoon and so glad I did. We were greeted at the door and shown our table by very polite waiter. The restaurant itself very comfortable and spacious, I can't do with being crammed in. We had cocktails which were delicious whilst choosing from extensive menu. I chose from the lunchtime menu which I think was £9 ish and the portion sizes really good . I chose cold meze and doner kebab and both delicious. My son n partner and little girl aged three really enjoyed their meal , they had sharing hot n cold meze which was huge then mousakka and beef n chick strips served with salads n rice and we were all full. The food is delightful and we will definitely make the journey to go again. One thing that may be a good idea is due to the food being freshly prepared that a crayoning book could be provided for little ones. We normally take one but had forgotten. Kids get bored waiting.

Food took over an hour to arrive and then was burnt and not fit for purpose. Beef on the sizzler nearly broke my teeth it was that hard. Glasses left stacking on the table instead of taking them when they brought fresh drinks. Asked for vinegar twice but didn’t get any. Went to pay and the lady walked off. Shocking food, disinterested staff and appalling service. Won’t be back

Excellent service, food was really nice and reasonably priced staff were very friendly.

Great place, love the cosy atmosphere and food excellent.

What a hidden gem! My husband and I tried this fantastic restaurant for the first time on Saturday evening and we were pleasently surprised! The food is superb and the atmosphere too.The staff certainly know their job. We are looking forward to going again.

As soon as we entered the restaurant we was greeted with a happy smile and a warm welcome! Immediately seated and brought over a glass of prosecco each! The front of house employee was great and talkative! The 3 waitresses took it in turn to introduce them self and let us know they are there to help if we need anything, the service was fantastic from everybody and the atmosphere second to none, easily one of if not the best Italian restaurant we've visited in Manchester. The food came quick and was piping hot, amazing flavours with every bite. Would highly reccomend Gio's and will be going back indefinitely! The price was perfect for the food and service we got and we was more than happy to tip over the 10% as usual. Great venue, great atmosphere, amazing food and even better service.

Lovely atmosphere and great food.
