Love coming here. The food is great and staff are lovely. Will be back again soon!

Ate here with friends - food fantastic! We had a really good night. We were first in which was great the only negative I have to say is that when everyone else, other diners, came in they seemed to cram everyone into one side of the restaurant which made it noisy. I would have preferred to be spread out so we could have had a better conversation with friends

Enjoyed our pre theatre meal. Service was excellent food was very tasty, look forward to our next visit

Been here quite a few times over the years for a pre or post theatre meal. As always the food, service and atmosphere was excellent.

Absolutely wonderful food could not fault a thing. Excellent service too. Definitely be going back. Can highly recommend

Went for a pre theatre meal on a Friday night. Very very very disappointed that we were only able to order from the pre theatre menu, instead of the a la carte. There was very little choice. Won't go again. Back to Don Giovanni's where you can order whatever you want.

Fantastic food, excellent service and great atmosphere. We have frequently dined at lunchtime before a matinee at the Palace theatre, this time we chose to dine after the show - as always the service was excellent and the food was amazing. This restaurant really is a "gem" - cannot recommend highly enough. Glad we booked the table as it is really popular, but despite being busy they manage to retain the personal feeling.

Perfect service, food excellent and promptly served. Nice atmosphere, staff very polite, attentive without being intrusive. Would definitely eat here again if the opportunity arose.

Attended Gios on Monday 25th March 2019 at 5pm. We had the pre theatre menu . The food was cold on arrival and due to it being a show night I felt that we were rushed out as tables were required. I felt that the food was of a very poor standard, pre cooked and heated as it didn't take long to arrive. I also took objection to the fact that the service charge was automatically placed on the bill- this should be optional. The bill was expensive enough without an extra £7.40 being added. Really disappointed.

The best hotel in Manchester and one of the best restaurants too! Love it here, never fails to disappoint!

Great atmosphere, fun restaurant. Shared 5 small dishes which were different and delicious. Highly recommend.

Have eaten several times at Gio's and have never been disappointed - good lively Italian atmosphere, always busy, and the staff are friendly, courteous and very efficient. Pre-booked our table on-line a week before to avoid disappointment and no problems. Pre-theatre meal - Food great (minestrone soup particularly liked by Dad- best he has had for years!) and service to match - we will be back again - thank you.

Been to GIO'S many times and even at peak times service is always excellent and food fresh and tasty. Last night we opted for the pre-concert menu. The salmon was superb, likewise the accompanying sauce. An excellent meal. Staff are always accommodating and efficient.

A great bar on Deansgate with a great atmosphere!

Meal great had to ask 5 times for the bill and no one explained where it was

We accidentally booked 2 tables online - a miscommunication - and tried to cancel one. No luck, no one was answering the phone. When we arrived we apologised for the mistake and were tutted at, then told off by the boss man because he said he'd had to turn people away. We pointed out that we had tried to ring but he was very rude, said there was no one there in the afternoon. Consistently horrible to us. We only stayed because we needed a pre-theatre meal and there wasn't time to go anywhere else. The rest of the staff were delightful and the food was good, but this one nasty individual spoiled the visit for us.

Booked online a table for two in February, for a 6.30pm meal on Friday 15th March. Expected to be able to go for a nice quiet evening meal. Arrived about 6.10pm. Horrified when got in, as place was absolutely packed, others waiting, servers rushed off their feet, and no tables available. Had a printout of my booking to show them. Assured by owner (?) that we would get our table. But had to stand and wait - husband had to sit up a corner - and waited until the last second of 6.30pm to get to a table. Very noisy and frenetic atmosphere and did not feel welcome. Food very good (able to choose from set menu till 6.45pm), and was generous and nicely cooked though. If we ever go again, we wont choose a Friday night, or we will make sure we dont go until after 6.45pm!

I have eaten here many times and, again, was not disappointed. The food and drink was very good and the staff very friendly. Highly recommended.
