Best restaurant in Didsbury and has been for years!

This is the third time I've eaten at this restaurant and I've not been disappointed with one of the times the pre theatre menu is excellent with lots of choice will certainly be back.

Perfect evening

Quite disappointed, 8 booked for a meal for my husbands 50th birthday and I even advised one gluten free. Non gluten free menu, no acknowledgement to my husband's birthday and food presentation extremely poor . Have been numerous occasions but would not book special occasions in future.

Lovely food & atmosphere. This is our 2nd visit to Gio, and didn’t disappoint. The pre-theatre meal is ideal.

Been here many times but two nights ago a came and ordered house wine two large glasses and it said £6.95 on menu on bill it came £9.50 a whole bottle was only. £1 dearer on the Shiraz . Service rushed I felt and the 10% service charge I do not like this putting on - I always tip but I don’t like being told what to tip - we won’t be back felt cheated with the wine have emailed restaurant to tell them but no response ! There are lots more restaurants out there and it’s not particularly cheap - £14.50 for lasagne . It was quiet when we were there onky three tables so no atmosphere .

The food was fantastic and introduced me to a cuisine I’d never tried before. The owner was a delight and his recommendations were spot on. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Brilliant authentic Italian restaurant. Superb service from lovely helpful staff. Great menu at really good value for two courses. Great food.. never been disappointed.

Great place for pre theatre meal. Nice food friendly efficient staff. Quick service.

We love this place! The food is excellent, the staff attentive, and there's always a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit and make sure you have the pasta.

Really enjoyed our first visit. Excellent food and drinks. Great service from friendly and knowledgeable server.

I would never eat here or recommend anyone else to. the food may well be good, so I have given that the benefit of the doubt in my score. however the owner is a rude, ignorant and ill mannered gentleman.

Lovely restaurant where we ate before a concert. Service was prompt but not rushed and we felt we had time to really enjoy the food. Food was lovely - we had the two-course deal and there was plenty of choice, good value for the price. We booked for five o'clock and were out by six-thirty, in plenty of time for our concert at 7.30. The staff were very courteous and efficient. Thank you

Very disappointing

I go to Gio's fairly regularly, usually prior to a concert at the Bridgewater Hall. Last night I enjoyed another excellent meal - freshly cooked salmon with a marinara sauce. The food was piping hot and very tasty. Service, as always, was friendly, professional and swift.

First time in the restaurant after a spur of the moment booking, but wasn't disappointed! Great food, great service, will definitely be back!

Had a lovely steak cooked to perfection and the tiramisu was light and satisfying. My only gripe is they put an optional 10% gratitude on the bill. It’s hard not to pay when they inc this in the total outstanding balance? Also my mum asked for a glass of Prosecco and the waiter suggested the pink one! We didn’t realise until the bill came that it was the most expensive drink! I know this was my mums fault but I don’t think they should recommend drinks to you. They should give you the menu if you are unsure on what type of drink to have.

Came on Saturday night and had a lovely night food was delicious will definitely be back
