They've amped up the selections of pizza. Love the tricolor Vodka Grandma Slice! They participate in TGTG Surprise Bags. Love that! I hate to see food go to waste. Dinners never disappoint. The bread is always hot & the side salad is cold & crisp. Chicken Pomodoro is another fave. Ya can't go wrong no matter what you order really. Passionate owner Sal & awesome staff. Glad to have them as my local spot. 8-14-2025 read more

We had a celebration here a few weeks ago. So we were seating in a private area up front. It was a little crowded but we made it work. It is a cute little Italian restaurant. The staff worked hard together. They first gave out garlic knots, they were so good! Next was the salad, also very good. The pasta was a little sweet for my liking. Then we all had ordered a main course. My boyfriend enjoyed the chicken parm. I had the eggplant rollatini but it just had too much cheese in and around it. The eggplant was too thin. But everyone enjoys their stuff different. Overall we had a lovely time. read more

The food is tasty, and portions are large enough. Classic Italian plates and plethora of pizzas upfront. Prices would be more palatable if they were a dollar or so less. Dinner entrees come with a large salad and one basket of garlic knots for the table. Menu is large. The waitress was a bit pushy in getting our orders before we had even decided what we wanted, and it made us feel rushed and not relaxed. And when we wanted her we couldn't find her! read more

100% probably the best pizza I've tried in Long Island so far. Really beautiful inside also. They had such creative slices, like a clam pizza and one with calamari. I can't wait to go back and try more. Glad i was driving on the service road and came across this place. Definitely put this on your must try pizza spots! read more

Love it here.. Great food, best garlic knots. The waiters and waitresses are so nice...

I live around the block and have ordered from them a few times. Just picked up a salad and three slices and it was $67. Seems that they make up their own prices and when you ask for a receipt, they just give you the credit card receipt. Not happy read more

Love this place. Came here on a lunch date and have been obsessed ever since. The baked ziti is just how I like it. A flavorful sauce and a healthy portion . These garlic knots are sooooo delicious ! The dressing on the side salad is amazing. Jill is such a fantastic person. I won't even call her a waitress . She makes it seem like you've been friends for years. This is just an overall great place. Good vibes. Good ppl. Good food. read more

Their food and service was good. Chicken dinner special included dessert. We were full and asked to take it to go. We were told there's a packaging fee. That is the tackiest thing I've ever heard. Owner just lost us as customers due to pure greed. read more

Grabbed a slice of pizza here for the first time. What a beautiful pizzeria slash restaurant. And since a nice selection of pizza. I don't know the name of the slice I got but it had penne and breaded chicken cutlets cut up on top. It was delicious! I will be back! read more

I stopped by Cafe Gio the other night and immediately realized it's been way too long! Sal was as hospitable as ever and my favorite waitress Shannon took great care of us as she always does! She keeps it real and is an absolute hoot. Sal absolutely crushed it as usual. I started with a rice ball (stuffed with bolognese meat sauce) and it was out of this world. I also tried one of his famous garlic knots with chicken parm stuffed inside.. wow.. incredible. Already feeling like I was on the brink of being stuffed and needing a nap, I ordered an avocado chicken salad and took half of it to go. It consisted of mixed greens, tossed with fresh avocado, grilled chicken, walnuts, dried cranberries & mandarin oranges. Their sesame dressing on the side really brought all the different flavors and textures together nicely. Sal - you the man! read more

Great Pizza ! Grandma's is the best I have ever had... Service: decent Good: overall: good Ambiance: ok, clean Pleasant staff, very friendly and charming ! We have never had a bad meal at Gio's. The kitchen is doing a great job !!!! read more

Walking into this pizzeria/restaurant, there was a great aroma of garlic in the air. The display window had beautiful looking pies but we were there for pasta night. It was quiet when we arrived and our waitress was a really nice young lady. I looked over the menu before we even got there and am happy to say that I would eat EVERY dish there. Fresh, hot, soft, pillowy garlic knots came out first. If their food is anything as good as their garlic knots, then we're in for a treat. I asked for baked clams which had nice toasty breadcrumbs on top and yummy whole clams. I ordered the rigatoni Ala gio, their signature dish with Italian sausage, broccoli rabe and sun dried tomatoes. My husband had the Belezza, fresh tomatoes, basil, marinara, fresh mozzarella in a pink cream sauce. He enjoyed it. We will be returning. read more

I tried the pizza and it's really good I really approve of this restaurant. I also had mozzarella sticks. The texture was really good too.

The staff was very nice, the restaurant looked very clean. The garlic knots were some of the best ones I've ever had- the dough was perfect. I didn't get a chance to try the pizza but the pasta was very good as well as the salad I ordered. The cannoli and cheesecake were also very tasty. We got our food and drinks quickly. Will definitely visit again. read more

I was a regular customer for years because the food was decent and they were nearby. They changed their counter staff recently and apparently their customer service practices as well. When there are so many other options available for pizza, one bad experience is enough. I won't be back. 2 stars because their food is pretty good. Minus 3 because I never want to deal with the service at the counter again. read more

Never disappointed when we eat there. Great ambience whether it's date night, or after a long day running errands. The staff all are warm and friendly. They are knowledgeable on their menu and also make great recommendations. Everything off the menu is amazing. read more

$4 for a slice of regular pizza ridiculous. A whole pie would be $32 . Every business used the Covid price increase but guess what Covid excuse is over people read more

I just picked up a takeout order of stuffed rigatoni and a can of soda for $33.00.... this is what I got. 8 rigatoni and two strips of chicken and a tin filled of sauce. WTF read more

From the service to the food everything is amazing they treat you like family and each and every dish I try taste amazing , I come here at least twice a week read more

Came here for dinner. The staff was extremely pleasant and the service was quick. We ordered our meals, Chicken Danielle and Chicken Parm Ala Vodka, and they gave us house salads as a starter. The dressing is made in house and was absolutely delicious! It was so good that we purchased a pint of salad dressing to go afterwards. The garlic knots are given inlou of Italian bread, but its for the better. These knots were warm, soft, garlicy. The meals were great. We shared both plates and they did not skimp on the portion size. Took food home and it made excellent leftovers the next day. We will definitely return here for more dinners. read more

I have to admit the customer service has improved here in recent years although certain staff could still use some improvement. Their BBQ chicken pizza & broccoli bites are delicious although quite pricy read more

My wife went to a Cafe Gio to pick up a pizza. They tried to charge her $3 more than the Wednesday Special price. She questioned this, and the manager came over claiming they could change the price at any time. She rightfully corrected him saying not if you advertize the special price in your door window. He proceeded to pull the pizza from her, told her to leave and walked away. My wife called our after him questioning if this is the way he treats paying customers. Upon leaving my 70 year old wife was called a dirtbag by a female employees who was scraping the specials sign off the door window. My wife and I will never set foot in Cafe Gio again. If you do, tred lightly or prepare to be abused. I would give it zero stars if the App allowed. read more

I've been going to cafe gios for years, it has always been excellent, unfortunately my last dining experience was terrible. The food was cold , and had an awful after taste like soap, not just one dish it was everything we ate. It was very strange, we barely touched the food and sent it back. I was surprised that the manager or owner never came over to our table to speak to us, that's a red flag that they didn't care. Also they have been adding in the credit card charge on the entire bill, and don't remove it when you pay cash. So basically they are hoping you don't pick up on it, suffice to say I'm finished with cafe gio. read more

Meatball sliders are great and the pizzettes I was told are enough for only one person but they are more than enough for two to share. Flavors we great on the gourmet pizzas but I would recommend some flavor to your crust...totally bland. If they had some flavor or spices to the crust, it would be phenomenal ( hence the 3 out of 5) Would definitely come back though. read more

Service was impeccable food looked excellent case full and delicious looking at open. Ambiance is fully modern feeling. Prices are just a little too high i got a specialty garlic knot and it felt like it doubled the price of my meal where my usual joint charges 50 cents to a dollar for a special knot plus was served cold with beef this can get you sick if you don't have a good gut. These gimmick garlic knots should bring people back to the business not steer them away due to high pricing lower your prices you'll see more faces returning for a slice weekly. read more

I ordered a large cheese pie with sausage. It was overcooked. The crust was atrocious. The sauce was pretty much flavorless. The sausage was sporadic at best and the cheese was just gluey. The flavor profile was zero the slices wouldn't even fold all that for the luxury price of $30.44. Needless to say I will not be back. It's not like there aren't 100 other pizzerias and a 1 mile radius. read more

Local pizzeria -Italian restaurant. I'm fixated on the shrimp pesto pizza .You can dine in or take it to go .

Ordered a meatball parm with double extra cheese and light sauce. you are supposed to get 3 meatballs we got two. didn't realize until 1/2 was eaten I called to see and confirm the number of meatballs. In order to get a credit for this even 2.00. they wanted the hero back . i have no problem doing that but I couldn't go. bc I can't drive after surgery. it was only fir a 2.00 credit and it was refused. then they water down their house salad dressing and the prices for their entrees went up astronomically. For example their shrimp parm is around $33,00 for 5 pieces. go to Nonna Bella's for 21.95 and the food at Nonna Bella's is sooooo much better!!! The appetizer of fried calamari is about $17.00. Nonna Bella's is about $12.00. Overall this place changed and the food is mediocre. Won't go anymore. Go to Nonna Bella's, the prices are reasonable and food is good and nothing is watered down read more

Wound up here with a party of ten on a Sunday after seeing a play in Babylon. Our waitress was great and very attentive. The food though.... WOW. I AM ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with anything al vodka and they pretty much had ala vodka everything! So they won my heart hands down. My boyfriend got the gnocchi ala Maria, which was a pink sauce, and I got the chicken ala vodka with rigantoni.... I ate the entire thing...... YIKES. Everyone loved their meals and next time we're out East we'll definitely return. I would even make the half hour drive from my town to eat there whenever I want. SO GOOD read more

Food - excellent! Service - friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Ambiance - a fun place to eat and be with friends and/or family.

Cafe Gio has amazing food and service. For starters this place has some of the BEST garlic knots in all of long island, the bread if fluffy and they are generous with butter and garlic for the perfect knot. I ordered pest pasta which was creamy and delicious! The serving size is huge and good enough for two, or for leftovers the next day!! Lastly, we ended the meal with chocolate cake which was very good. The food was great, and the service is EXCELLENT. Our server, Jill, was attentive, personable and you could tell she enjoys her job! read more

Was here today make a long story short very disturbing while eating my pasta there was a hair in my food. owner came and insisted it was my hair and I pay for the pasta that I sent back.instead of the owner being apologetic he was very confrontational and rude !! and not to mention im blonde and the hair was brown first and last time here!!!!! read more

Went recently for Pasta Night. The service was slow, despite not being filled to capacity when we arrived. I only saw two servers, so perhaps that was the issue. I realize good workers are hard to find these days post Covid . The food was delicious and served hot! Deducted a star for two mistakes on the bill. We had ordered off the special menu,but didn't get charged the special prices. read more

Pizza here is decent, but apparently a large fountain drink, something that probably costs the restaurant about $.50, maybe $1, is $4.95. I was in shock when a regular slice, vodka grandma slice and large drink came up over $14. I get everything costs a little more now in 2022, but when a non-alcoholic, fountain soda costs more than the slice of pizza it's a bit ridiculous. read more

The owner may need to find a new way to make a living with such a poor attitude towards customers. If you raise your prices make sure your signs reflect the current prices. Don't FAULT YOUR CUSTOMERS when we expect to pay the advertised price! read more
