Simply stated, Gio is the definitive dining experience of downtown Halifax. Since inception in 2006, the restaurant has garnered critical acclaim from those impressed by the ambition and execution of its four-diamond food and service. Dining with a twist, expect fun aside fancy, from the atmosphere to the plate. A divine and diverse menu shifts with every season, combining the best in local and global ingredients.

    Wonderful wine and main course but the chocolate dessert was peculiar, we thought. Not really a chocolate flavour and too many other flavours to figure out what they were. The staff were lovely and everything else was great. Would definitely return.

    Thank you for the wonderful review and feedback Heather. Our summer dessert menu has started and you might find a winner in our new chocolate dessert. Have a wonderful day

    A truly magical evening! Special thanks to Terri for arranging a divine gluten free peanut butter chocolate cake for my friend’s milestone birthday. Pastry chef Konstantinos wowed us with his glorious and delightful creation! Our wonderful server Rachel was informative, attentive and made our dining experience pure joy. Our food was spectacular, full of flavour and once again truly memorable. Highly recommend!
