    An authentic Italian dessert hidden gem right by Anticos Pizza in downtown ATL! The best and only way to finish eating pizza was getting gelato right next door. We went in through the back, and the dessert shop was right there. There were gelato options and cannolis and other dessert options. We got a chocolate chip cannoli to go, and this cannoli was huge! Each cannoli is made to order, but it didn't take long to make it. Then, I wanted gelato. I was stuck between hazelnut and tiramisu flavor, and when I told them employee this, he said I could have half a scoop of each. So, I decided on that! The half scoops were huge and honestly could have been a scoop each. That is how big they were. I got a small, and I couldn't even finish it all. Both flavors were delicious but they were an acquired taste. To me, it took me right back to Italy. The shop was connected to a restaurant. They was limited seating inside and it was very very hot in here. But, there was tons of seating outside. Because we needed to go, we didn't stay! But, we would definitely come back.

    Long Spaghetti & Meatballs
    Allison H.

    This is a place where you order at the counter and then seat yourself either indoors or outdoors. Whatever you order is brought out to you, but you grab your own utensils, napkins, water, etc. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which came with a side salad and two pieces of bread. The side salad was simple and delicious, the bread was warm and baked well, and the meatballs were flavorful and saved the spaghetti noodles (which were bland, imo). Overall, I enjoyed my meal!

    A classic. The food is good. The service is great. I love the ambiance. It's connected to antico and gelato. You'll find something to eat here for sure!

    Arrabbiata Singolo

    Sorrento Lemon Singolo. Enough said. Order at the front. Find a table - tablecloths and the lighting is nice too ... unexpected for mostly self-service dining. Get your plates, utensils, water, etc. at the table against the wall. They will bring your food when ready. Service is friendly. Our dishes came with a basket of bread (very good), and salad ... I recommend asking dressing on the side. SORRENTO LEMON SINGOLO - $21 Chicken with fresh Amalfi-style lemons, garlic, wild oregano, olio di oliva, and some potatoes too! This dish is divine and a must-order. ARABBIATA SINGOLO - $18.50 Spicy penne ... pasta tasted a little overcooked ... spicy for sure but just ok tasting. I chose wrong - that Sorrento Lemon Chicken is the lottery. FYI parking available in front and at Antico ... get dessert from the gelato cafe next door. And yes, same owner as Antico's.

    Do yourself a favor and go. Recently renovated and Michelin-recommended for the past two years, this charming Italian spot delivers some of the most delicious, well-prepared food - AND it's an incredible value. Service is quick, the vibe can be as casual or as date-night as you want, it's family-friendly, great for dine-in or takeout, and it's BYOB. It truly has it all. It's essentially three concepts in one: Gio's, with fantastic chicken dishes and pastas (all served with complimentary salads - and yes, their famous Amish chicken is exclusive to them in Atlanta); Antico, with outstanding pizza; and their gelato shop, offering gelato and classic Italian desserts. We've been going to the west midtown location for six years and even ordered takeout throughout Covid. I recently had the chance to meet Gio, and he is genuinely humble and incredibly kind! My favorite chicken dish is the Sorrento Lemon Chicken; my husband loves the Diavola and the Scarpiello (both with a little heat). Every chicken entrée comes with the simplest, most flavorful side salad ... I usually order a second because it's that good. Only note: I do wish the chicken parm came with more marinara. The chicken and pasta can be a bit dry without it.

    Came here for dinner on a quiet Sunday night. Counter service only. For $20 you get a full Italian dinner including salad, roll, pasta and main dish. We got the chicken parm and chicken with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. We sat out side which was nice ambiance. Salads came which were good. Main dishes came and food was very good for the price. Pizza is supposed to be good as well. Check it Out!

    CHICKEN PARMIGIANA
    Carlie M.

    Great casual spot with big portion sizes. We got the chicken parm. It comes with salad and bread as well. We were able to split this meal between two people and were plenty full by the end!

    Baked Ziti al Forno - it's that sauce !!!
    JD G.

    One thing that keeps me coming back here is "Consistency" this place gets it right every time - first the location is like you have stopped along some small little village in Italy that has all these delicious foods available in various little spots - coffee and gelato, a bar and small bites - pizza slices ....but this is about Gio's Chicken. Sorrento Lemon Roasted Chicken - this is one heck of a dish - the lemon essence permeates this dish, tender, juicy and delicious there is 1/2 a chicken in this dish, a few potato slices that have absorbed this delicious juice...you can make a meal out of the bread and juice...and Baked Zito Al Forno ...that San Marzano Marinade makes all the difference- both dishes are served with a salad with house dressing - you can't go wrong. Service is "good" and the atmosphere transports you away for a brief time. Whether you dine in or take it to go....u will love every bite.

    They have very right limited parking spaces. Most of the time, we do pickup. They have both indoor and outdoor seats with nice ambience and Mediterranean decor. If the place is full, it can get noisy easily; but that's the vibe of the restaurant. Our regular ordered dishes are lemon chicken (Sorrentina Singolo) and meatball spaghetti. The lemon chicken (Sorrentina Singolo) is one of their signature dishes, and it never disappoint. Tender chickens with a well balance lemon flavor. The dish goes with a side of salad which is fresh and tasty. The meatball spaghetti is also delicious. The restaurant and the Antico pizza shared the same space. Thus, if you dined in, you could have the seats and order food from both places. Highly recommend!

    Meatball Parmigiano Panini Lunch Special
    Scot K.

    Outstanding! My wife had the lemon chicken, and I had the meatball panini. The food was incredible with generous portions.

    So happy to have found this spot today! I had a perfect lunch that ended with a delicious raspberry gelato. Gio's is a family-style Italian restaurant with such a great ambiance that I momentarily forgot I was in Atlanta. Today was my first visit, but it definitely won't be my last. For the record, when you enter, you place your order with the front server. Once you pay, you take your seat and your meal will be served to you. It doesn't hurt to listen for your number on the receipt. For today's lunch special, I had the chicken parmigiana paired with their house salad, which was plenty for $12.75! You can't beat this lunch special. The menu offers plenty of other options to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. It was prepared fresh with quality ingredients. Once again, I loved the ambiance here. It's really cozy here, and I'm happy to have stumbled across this place. There's free parking on the opposite side of the entrance. If you're not able to dine in for the experience, you can possibly find them on Uber Eats

    Excellent food and nice staff. This is a casual concept where you order at the counter and then pick your table. Limited service, which I like. Food portions were huge and a great value at $20 ea. we shared two entrees among three of us and we were all full. One note: my daughter was disappointed they don't offer any pasta with white sauce of any kind. Chicken Parmesan was excellent.

    What a great experience sitting at the bar for dinner…read more I was quickly greeted and got my drink order taken care of. I ordered a two piece white with slaw and greens. Awesome flavor! The staff let me sample the potato salad which was amazing. Was told the story about the lady that makes the pies and had a slice of pecan. Very good. I recommend you give them a try, because I will be back on my next visit to downtown. Enjoy!

    For a place that boldly claims to have world-famous fried chicken in its name, I really expected to…read morehave a better experience. The chicken was alright, but I wouldn't say it was the best I ever had, let alone consider it the world's best. This joint is located in the lower hub, but I believe there's also an outside street entrance. Upon entering, we were told to sit anywhere. The interior is rather dim, and it wasn't super clean as there were still some crumbs on our table from the last people who dined there. There is also a very casual feel to the place, exemplified by the fact that food is served on styrofoam plates and paper trays. FOOD: 2-Piece Dark (Thigh & Leg) (4/5) - Chicken was nice and crispy, but nothing crazy special to me. I was expecting it to be spicier. Liked it more with the Louisiana hot sauce on the table. The chicken rests on a slab of white bread and is served with average slaw and sweet baked beans. Fried Okra (3.5/5) - First time having fried okra. Not bad, and I guess frying it eliminates the slimy texture associated with okra. SERVICE: I am not usually one to complain about service. The person who served us was sweet when we did interact, but it was so hard to get their attention to order and get the bill. But beyond that, the kitchen was noticeably SLOW. My brother and I literally only ordered one plate/portion to share since we wanted to try more places, but it took over half an hour to receive our food. They do emphasize that food is cooked to order, but I still found the wait to be baffling. TLDR// Come here or don't, but if you do, make sure you are not on a time crunch. Maybe I am just being harsh because I was expecting more from a place claiming to have the world's best.

Then we also tried the spicy bone in which was good but not very spice. I think next time I would do the bone in with soy garlic and make sure to get it all crispy!! For the side, we got some fries which were just alright nothing crazy and the chicken fried rice. The chicken fried rice was good but don't think it worth getting again. Overall a delicious meal and the staff was super nice. Parking is a tiny lot so definitely be aware of that.

It wasn't busy at all on a Wednesday night. Signs indicate that you should seat yourself wherever available and to head to the counter to make your order. I ordered takeout, so I can't speak about the dine-in experience here. FOOD: We ordered a double order of the wings and asked for their two most popular flavors, which were the lemony pepper wet wings and some other flavor (couldn't hear the worker clearly, but just went with it). The order came with fries and a choice between ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce. Maybe I am not used to the flavor profile here, but I found the wings to be excessively salty (and I have a preference for salty food). My tongue is still tingling as I write this review. Also, the lemony pepper wings tasted like they were coated in pure citric acid. The other flavor was drowning in sauce. The wings themselves were so dry that it felt like I was eating chicken jerky. SERVICE: Food came out within ten minutes of us ordering. No frills place, so expect no frills service. No complaints. They have a bag-it-yourself policy. TLDR// This might be the first place to actually convince me that overseasoning is actually a thing. Excessively salty, dry chicken wings that my tongue is still paying the price for. Would not come back, and I would try a different spot for lemony pepper wet wings.

I will say that I definitely preferred the wet wings to the dry wings. I found the dry wings to be a little too salty. In my opinion, the wings and the cook on them were just okay. I wasn't blown away or anything. Maybe the relatively cheap beer and the vibes help draw in all the appeal.
