    Earlier this week, my husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time with two of our friends (another couple). Food and service were great! The four of us enjoyed all aspects of this restaurant. The menu offered appetizers, entrees, and dessert options that worked for each of our individual preferences! The restaurant is large and spacious, with very nice, modern decor (plus a high ceiling, which adds to the overall open feel). We'll definitely be returning!! :)

    This restaurant was exceptional We enjoyed everything from the wonderful service to the delectable, gourmet food to the lovely and romantic ambiance.We highly recommend the sizzling shrimp appetizer,the filet mignonette steak drizzled in a fabulous ,brown gravy with mushrooms and the pasta in a cheesy,tomato sauce with chunks of lobster.Our dessert was a fudge chocolate cake topped with vanilla ice cream and surrounded with cream and berries.It was so delectable.It was topped with a birthday candle for my husband.It was a very nice experience ,not rushed or noisy.We can’t wait to return.Thanks Billy ,our sweet and accommodating waiter.We loved Gioia
