    The food was good & the service was outstanding. We were seated by a very large, loud party & had to yell just to have conversation. So that part was not enjoyable. We will be back, the food is good.

    Gio is still a good/moderately priced casual place to dine. On this trip, I tried the lasagna. Though a little on the pricey side, its was very good. The shrimp scampi pasta was also good. Salads were good. The only negative is that we had to ask 3 times for bread even though the restaurant was not busy.

    We were there on a night when the kitchen was struggling. Food came out at wildly different temperatures. Most of the fish dishes were almost inedible. The calzone we ordered was great though. The arancini was good and the toasted ravoli was fine. Our server was nice and kind and very apologetic for the kitchens mistakes. The drinks are very good. Overall it's a fine Italian spot, when you get a good night in the kitchen.

    Honestly, from other reviews we were looking forward to dining at GIO's. The positive was that the service was good & the meatball appetizer was very good! All the other food was very bland. It was overall a disappointing experience. We will not be returning.

    The food was wonderful and the cocktails were very good. We did think it was odd the waitress outwardly criticized some of the dishes we asked about, telling us they were not good and she would recommend against them. Our biggest surprise came at the end of the evening after we paid the bill. We had been at the restaurant for a little under 2 hours and had spent >$300 on food, including dessert—but after paying the bill, the staff came over and said we had to leave because the table was reserved for another party in a few minutes. We ourselves had a reservation prior to the evening, and we had not been informed that there was a time limit to our seating. This was unfortunate as we were celebrating with family and friends from out of town and wanted to show them a good time in the West County. Because of these events, I would not come here again and I would also not recommend this place to family, friends, or entertaining business outings who want to have an enjoyable, relaxing night with no time pressure.

    The Caesar salad was excellent! Best in the area that I have found. The pasta was good but not great. It is a fairly loud. I like the place, and would recommend it. Friendly crew. Young and not real experienced, but very pleasant.

    Our server and the food were both wonderful. We waited a bit for our drinks because he had been sat numerous tables at once. He apologized for the slow service, and all was smooth after that. The dining room was pretty loud that evening making it difficult to hear the other couple we were with.

    Everything went well with the exception of our server. He got some of the orders wrong. I'm not sure if it was all his fault or the kitchens. For example, one of the orders was for a fig and apple salad with shrimp. The figs were left out. The rigatoni had some changes and they were totally ignored. We asked for oil and balsamic with the bread. The waiter served it to the brim on a flat plate with not spoon. There were six of us and it was impossible to pass without spilling. Overall, most everyone enjoyed their dinner and our reservation was honored. Server just needs more training.

    Great service; relaxed, welcoming atmosphere! We were given time to enjoy a cocktail as well as time between courses. Delicious salads, entrees, and desserts. Given it’s an Italian restaurant, the bread could be a lot better. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely go back!

    We love Gio’s! We had an early dinner on a Saturday. Everything was delicious. Pricing is reasonable. The server was pleasant. She has waited on us in the past and readily recognized us. While we don’t go to the bar area, it seems to be a popular place. I recommended getting a reservation early as Gio’s books up quickly.

    We had a lovely evening! Our waiter was amazing & all of us thought our entrees were excellent! We were celebrating a birthday & we loved the presentation of the dessert was lovely. Our only negative, was the noise level, which was loud. At times we found it difficult to easily converse with each other.

    Waiter Nick was terrific. Checked on us regularly and was quick to bring refills or dessert menu. Shrimp scampi pasta was tasty but a bit too cheesy. Mediterranean salad was very fresh and crispy. Bread with olive oil and balsamic was a nice touch. Italian coffee was excellent.

    All of our entres were delicious. We had to wait and ask a couple of times for refills on iced tea. Sitting right next to patio door was a tad distracting...wind would blow on us when the door opened and server kept bumping into my chair everytime he passed. Maybe that table should be moved a little away from door.

    Took 1hr and 15 minutes from the time seated to receive the food which was extremely too long. Didn't feel like the staff was apologetic or followed up with the people at my table to refill drinks and give us updates on when we were going to receive our food.

    We have had great meals at Gio but unfortunately last night was not one of them. The service was good as always but the food was sub par. My husband had the lasagna and I had their special SPIDINI DI POLLO. It was not hot and the flavors bland. The chicken had white sauce as did the white risotto and the white cauliflower. Not very pleasing from an appearance standpoint and the flavors all kind of melded together. I have had a lot better there. Perhaps it was an off night.

    I had the salmon that was recommended by my server, but that was a mistake. It wasn't great. The eggplant parm as an appetizer was really good, and the bread was amazing, as always. Our server was amazing. He was very attentive, had a lot of recommendations and was patient with us, as well. I really do enjoy most of the food on the menu, so I hate saying the salmon didn't meet my expectations. The ambiance could use a boost, as well. I like the bar tables, as it feels a bit more energetic than the dining room. The dining room is boring and loud. The patio could also use an ambiance boost. No-one likes sitting in a parking lot to eat, so maybe add a greenery wall or something to block that view.

    Visiting the area and GIO was recommended. Glad it was as the staff, food and experience were all wonderful. Saturday night, and prom night, so place was fully packed and noisy to a small degree but then again ITS ITALIAN which is always lively and fun. We can not wait for our next visit so we can GO AGAIN!!

    Nice glass of wine, very good salad, excellent eggplant parmigiana. The pasta, however, was actually horrible. Practically inedible. She had the pesto pasta and the lobster Mac n cheese for me. We were shocked and how bad these dishes were. (Best pasta in STL can still be had at the likes of Katie’s, Pastaria, Acero) If we were to return, we would stay away from pasta and try their entrees such as a steak, chicken or salmon.

    Love Gio! I am from out of town and I make sure I get there every trip for a good meal. This was my first time having Liz as my server and she was amazing!!! Our group would ask questions about different pairings of food and drink and Liz nailed it. Liz is very friendly and helpful. And for 2 of our group who have not had the experience of Gio or Liz’s service, they were very impressed as we have every time we visit.
