    Was really excited to dine here after reading the reviews and with a planned stay at the hotel. We were seated in the back of an empty restaurant - I pointed at an available window table and was told it was “for a reservation” - I happened to be overheard and apparently the reservation it was being held for… was mine. Strange! A table in the back of our section (adjacent to our original table) had their child’s iPhone on full blast, including when the child wandered off from the table. Staff was uninterested in asking them to lower the volume (or even pause the video when the child wasn’t at the table for prolonged periods). It honestly took away from the beautiful experience. Food was good. The beef carpaccio was my favorite. I didn’t wish to order a cocktail due to the grating sound effects from the back. The bites at the start are great. To surprise my boyfriend, I asked if we could have a few more of the special ravioli while he stepped away from the table. The server insisted it would be no issue and asked when I wanted them - I replied “whenever!” They never came. A little disappointing. We had breakfast (unrelated to this dinner booking) at the restaurant and enjoyed it much better. The options were fantastic and we enjoyed stunning views and a quiet morning (we went before 9am) with wonderful service. The ambiance is spectacular when considerate guests are dining. A child crying or screaming is understandable. A loud device is not.

    My recent visit to Gio in Venice was nothing short of extraordinary, largely thanks to our incredible waiter, Elisa. While the restaurant itself boasts a charming ambiance and a menu filled with culinary masterpieces, it was Elisa’s exceptional service that truly made our evening memorable. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and her genuine enthusiasm for the cuisine shone through in every interaction. She was more than a waiter; she was a culinary guide, taking the time to understand our preferences and daring us to try dishes we wouldn’t have ordinarily chosen. Her recommendations were impeccable, each dish a delightful surprise that tantalized our taste buds in ways we hadn’t imagined. Elisa’s attentiveness and professionalism did not go unnoticed. Her ability to blend friendly conversation with efficient service made us feel both valued and well taken care of. The level of personalization and care she brought to our table was a rare find.

    On our 5 day trip to Venice we ate widely. Gio’s was the best. Excellent, world class experience all round: service, cuisine, ambience, location. We went twice with our 8 and 13 year old kids - who loved it also - and would have gone again had we stayed longer!

    My wife and I ate here for dinner Sunday, October 22.  We sat outside, although glass and closed. There were heaters which weren’t needed, and we overlooked the grand Canal.  I would rate our overall experience of five very good service good quality food portions were decent. My only complaint was the price for my gray goose on the rocks.  I requested a double shot after learning how they measure every drink they pour certainly not what were used to in the United States.  I was again a bit shocked at the price of the drink, $36. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a special occasion

    Had a lovely waterfront dinner in Venice at Gio’s. The service was impeccable, the food was very good especially loved the tiramisu (the best I’ve ever had!) & of course the atmosphere/location couldn’t have been better. I would definitely recommend dining here for an unforgettable experience.

    The food was amazing can’t even tell you how wonderful! Service was great! But the value of the drinks are way over priced especially for a classic sprite about 3 times the price than the local spots that started the spritz. You can go from $4-8 and head to Gios for a $28 spritz lol same ingredients.

    A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Thank you so much to all the staff at Gio’s restaurant for making our engagement dinner feel so special. You could not do enough for us both! The food and wine was fantastic, but for us the service was outstanding and thank you laying on your best table, it was so romantic (I recommend!) My only regret on reflection is that I didn’t leave you guys a bigger tip, but rest assured we will be back on our anniversary, so I will make up for this!!!🤗🤗 Thank you all, Scott and Bengü x

    It’s a Grand Canal side restaurant but we didn’t have that experience. There was a wedding taking at least half the outside terrace space including the restaurant. We were given the last remaining table which was as far away from the canal as it could be. We might as well have been in any other restaurant. Took ages for anyone to come over to take our drinks order. It was so slow and so late instead of ordering a starter and main we went straight to main. Food was average. Would have been worth going there for a good experience of being next to the canal…. But it wasn’t

    Amazing experience and much love from the States! My partner and I visited early afternoon and the staff and waiter were incredible and so nice from the security to the hostess. Food was amazing and worth the $. Service was attentive and other tables were very calm and casual i didn’t even realize the place filled up because the was no noise distracting from my own table. Also love the views and amazing photos. Will suggest as the top restaurant from my trip to Italy ❤️

    The ambience was incredible while Dining on the outdoor terrace with a view of the grand canal in Venice! The service was exemplary, and the food was very good. The roasted carrot appetizer was superb! I also enjoyed a great rosé wine, so it was a great evening with a superb meal. The evening was so enjoyable, I booked dinner at Gio’s for the following evening.

    A must visit if you're travelling to Venice. Positioned with the perfect lookout over the Grand Canal with a beautiful ambience. The furniture and decor is to die for. If I could afford to stay at the St Regis, I would! I visited for my 30th birthday and was pleasantly surprised with a tiramasu dessert with a candle and birthday plaque. The waitors and waitresses were very attentive. The food and drinks are a little on the pricey side but very tasty nonetheless and what I'd expect for visiting the 'Mayfair of Venice'. Personal shoutout to Veronica and Elisa, they made our experience very enjoyable.

    Thanks for the excellent food and view for our anniversary dinner. Service started out great and attentive. A large and loud party soon took away our service. Had an excellent cocktail to start with and a sub standard one to finish with. I expect more consistency from a top rated hotel restaurant.

    Gio’s outside patio is right on the Grand Canal. A phenomenal atmosphere with great service and outstanding food. We started with delicious appetizers and each ordered an outstanding pasta dish. For mains my wife had the Branzino and I had the lamb. Both perfectly prepared and very tasty! Pair all of the food with a great bottle of wine and you have a winning combination. I highly recommend a night at Gio’s in the really fabulous St Regis!

    A spectacular restaurant in an equally spectacular location. Most important, the wine list was perfect for Italian varieties and reasonably priced for a restaurant of its standing - there was something for every taste and price. The food was equally good. We started with a pre dinner Champagne in the courtyard - an excellent idea. Service was perfection. Overall, our dinner on the terrace was an experience to savour till we meet again
