About Gio Ristorante

Centrally positioned on Lower Mosley Street, opposite the Midland Hotel and close to all the nightlife and cultural centres in Manchester, including the Bridgwater Hall and Manchester Central, Gio is the younger sister to the long-established Giorgios on Portland Street. The interior of the 65-cover restaurant blends contemporary furnishings and smartly laid tables with softer traditional Italian touches like the art on the walls and high shelves with wine and vinegar bottles, soft lighting and a stone floor. A popular choice for business lunches, a break from shopping and pre-theatre, Gios menu offers authentic Italian cuisine both a la carte and on specially priced set menus. Expect a good range of handmade Neapolitan-style pizzas, freshly cooked pastas and risottos as well as a large choice of favourites like the many steaks, veal and fresh fish dishes. Enjoy starters such as Gamberoni All Aglio, king prawns sauteed in garlic, white wine and lemon, mains like Calves liver lightly sauteed with caramalised onions and gravy, served with mashed potatoes, mushrooms and garden peas or Whole fresh sea bass, filleted and served on a bed of fresh julienne veg and classic desserts like their homemade Tiramisu. A well-chosen wine list mixes Italian classics with a selection from the New World. Larger parties are welcome and there are incentives for party organisers.

I had a fantastic meal consisting of chicken risotto followed by tiramisu for dessert and a small bottle of rose prosecco to accompany the meal. The service was excellent and the food tasted great. The restaurant was conveniently located close to my hotel and the nearby conference centre.

Best Italian I have been to in years! Sal the manager was so warm and welcoming. He made such a fuss of us and had us laughing the whole time. And the food was to die for! I have not tasted pasta that good since I was in Italy. The chef Rowland is extremely talented!

Pre booked …went on a Saturday evening for my mums birthday meal… was over crowded waiters looked stressed, too loud not enough attention given to make you feel special not even an acknowledgment to my mums birthday. Food ok been previously but would try somewhere else next time that makes you and your party feel special. Need to give the customer a better experience!

We pre-booked for a Saturday night before a concert at the Bridgewater Hall. The restaurant was full and over booked. We finally got a table, which had originally been a table of four, and was split to make two tables of two. Great that the restaurant accommodated us but we were in the path of the waiting staff so had to contend with people squeezing past our table throughout the meal. Because they were so busy the service was extremely slow. We waited half an hour for our drinks. The food, when it came was fabulous and was not overly expensive. The waiting staff were all friendly and nice. The squashed table and long waits put a dampener on the evening. Will definitely go back when it is a bit quieter, and maybe when there isn't anything on at the Bridgewater Hall.

Busy chaotic restaurant, pre-theatre. The staff were lovely and polite but very disorganised. The manager and waiters were using tablets to electronically enter the food orders through to the kitchen but seemed unable to to doing this effectively. The result was that we, and many other tables, had the wrong dishes brought to us or had dishes missing when the orders arrived. My husbands starter did not arrive until 5 minutes after mine, then our mains took quite a while to turn up. We were very glad we booked and arrived early as some of the customers who came in after us had a long wait and were getting increasingly anxious about getting to the the Bridgewater Hall on time. The food was good but basic considering the price. I would not recommend this restaurant, particularly if you are heading to a theatre.
