Gio's pretensions far outweigh its delivery. Management needs to get a real chef PRONTO! It was perhaps the worst restaurant meal I have ever had, at the highest cost. I am 70 years old and have travelled around the world. Both mine, and my husband's meals were appallingly bad. As soon as mine arrived, he asked 'Where is the rest of your dinner?. When his arrived he promptly lifted his Atlantic trout out of the curdled swill that surrounded it and ate it off his bread plate. My two tiny

My wife and I decided to go Gio's for my 60th birthday. We loved our dining experience! First of all, our server, Olivia, was truly a gem. She was so personable, friendly and knowledgeable. She is passionate about food and it shows. She made us feel very welcomed. The food was fantastic! We had two appetizers: raw oysters and beet tartar. Both delicious were delectable. I had the arctic char and my wife had the mushroom ravioli. Both dishes were well prepared. Thought was given to detail. Even the chef came out and greeted guests. I thought that was a very nice touch. I told him how much we loved our meals. I think that Gio's is one of the best restaurants in the city. Don't miss checking it out!

10/10. The oysters came with their blood orange granita and it added a lot of flavor. The agnolotti dish was exceptional.

A wonderful experience at Gio tonight - the meal was incredible from start to finish.I had the black garlic creamy scallops followed by the homemade Nduja and tagliatelle dish. Absolute delight.Incredible service by the lovely Olivia, who was so patient and welcoming. She made me feel at ease instantly and this experience is priceless.Thank you Gio for fantastic food and top quality service. I will definitely be back for my next trip to Halifax!

Cosy chic restaurant. Wonderful easonal seafood with local flavour.

Gio is considered a 4 diamond restaurant, and I can absolutely see why. Right from the moment we set foot into the restaurant, the welcome and attentiveness was impeccable. The menu is seasonal, so what you may see online in terms of menu may not match what's currently being offered. This means that the ingredients used are fresh and local, hence why the change in menu depending on availability.All that to say that they chana masala (included in picture) I ordered was absolutely divine. The basmati rice was cooked to perfection, and the chickpeas were beautifully flavourful. But the stand out here was the homemade mango chutney - it was quite possibly the best chutney I've ever had.Our server, Oscar, was a pleasure to deal with from the very first moment. Being also the main bartender, he was able to recommend some fantastic cocktails for us to try depending on what we were in the mood for. And the cocktails: on my! They're inventive, modern, and a pleasure for the sense! I'd highly recommend trying one!All in all, an excellent place to dine with what I consider absolutely 'bargain' prices for a 4 diamond restaurant! Highly recommended!

What a great dinner! I was very impressed with everything the food, service and atmosphere. The food was amazing and everything I was hoping for!! Our server Oscar was a delight and very knowledgeable. He made us feel at ease and had great suggestions! The bone marrow and snowcrab salad was lifechanging! Thanks for a great evening!

Upscale dining place in the Prince George Hotel. I'm usually not that impressed by hotel restaurants, but Gio is an exception.We stopped by for dinner and got:- Luke's Sourdough Bread: Not sure who Luke is, but his bread is pretty good. Firm on the crust, chewy in the middle.- Foie Gras Two Ways: I love how this had so many sweet elements on it (pressed apples, hazelnut crumbs, rosemary jam) that balanced out the fatty oiliness of the foie gras.- Squash: My favourite dish of the night. The orange vinaigrette complemented the sweetness of the squash really well. The pecorino cheese cut through the veggie taste, and the dash of honey took it over the top.- Arctic Char: Great char on the fish, though a bit too salty for me. Make sure to use the side lemon to dilute the saltiness.- Smoked Scallop: Whoa, this was almost a truly mindblowing dish. The smoke was perfect, but the scallop was just a bit on the rubbery side. The garlic cream sauce it was bathed in was chef's-kiss tasty.- Oh My That's Delicious: A dessert that lived up to its name. Delicate, not overly sweet chocolate mousse elements. But the undisputed star was the homemade blueberry icecream.From the good food, the great service (thanks Rachael for being so efficient, attentive and having a great disposition!), and the cool vibe, Gio is definitely a great place to wine and dine the night away.
