Gio's has friendly staff, a cozy and casual interior, and tasty dinner options! I usually get the lemon chicken or the lobster ravioli when im here and both are amazing. I also got the peach bellini and it was delicious! The prices are very reasonable and they serve big portions, I always have a second portion of chicken to take home after. Would definitely recommend!
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.
Came for dinner on a weeknight and I would say the parking lot is a little small so definitely be prepared! The service was so friendly and quick! The cashier took the time to explain the dishes and help us choose what we wanted. We ended up gettting lemon chicken and a chicken parm. The lemon chicken was so tender and the sauce was amazing! It was salty and sour at the same time. The chicken parm was also so good! The sauce was tangy and hearty. The chicken parm was also fried to perfection. The dishes also came with bread and a side salad which were both good! The place can be casual give date night vibe depending on how you see it. You do get your own water/ take out boxes! There was also a gelato shop in the back! Overall, a great place with great food!
Gio's is a casual Italian dinner that has great pasta and chicken. We ordered at the bar and then sat down for them to bring out the food. When we sat down, the gave us salads and bread to start. The bread was perfection - crunchy on the outside but quite soft on the inside. We tried the chicken parm and sorrento lemon roasted chicken. I'm not the biggest fan on chicken breast but they seasoned it very well.
The parking lot is small so I would recommend smaller parties here. Or carpooling could also work. The inside is nice for a casual date. You order at the cash register and then everything is brought to your table. You will leave full and take home left overs with self service. Just pick up your to go container and bag from the shelves on the side of the room. I tried the Sorrento Lemon Roasted Chicken along with the spaghetti and meat balls. I also tried the spicy arrabiata. The olive oil mix and hot pepper with your bread is a must try. Along with the delicious salad appropriately dressed. I recommend the lemon Chicken and the spaghetti and of course the salad and bread that come with every meal. This place is casual and self service but do not expect to pay do it yourself prices. Meals are still 20+ dollars a pop. If you have some room when your done try the gelato. It's also amazing and conveniently only a walk away from the dining room. I think I'll be back for ice cream and pizza. But the self service was ruined for me by gnats. So I will avoid that dining room for now.
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.
Went with friends. You order at the counter. Food was delicious. Several people ordered the lemon chicken. I had a panini & salad.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.

Food was so good and perfectly timed! The flavors were on point and the casual atmosphere just felt great! Is a half and half sort of place. They take your order at the front but they will serve you at the table and everything works as it should! Definitely we want to come back and try at least 4 more dishes of the menu. read more

I love Gio's. I've been probably 4 or 5 times now, and it never disappoints. The portions are huge, so expect leftovers unless you're going to share. You still might have leftovers. All of the pasta dishes I've tried are great, but my wife is partial to the cheese ravioli, which comes with a massive meatball to go with it. She usually gets a side of 2 meatballs on the side as well, because 1 is never enough. This dish will last her two meals. Worth noting that every main dish also comes with fresh baked bread and a simple side salad, which is awesome. I almost always go with the chicken diavola, which is a spicy, bone-in roasted half chicken tossed in a pan sauce with Calabrian peppers, garlic, crushed red pepper, and spicy oil. It's very spicy, and I handle spicy well, and it's SO good. It also comes with a couple of thick potato wedges sitting in the sauce, which is a nice touch. This dish will last me 2 to 3 meals. Gelato afterwards is a must, so save space during the main course. I can't say enough about how great this place is. The staff is incredibly nice, service is astonishingly quick, and there always seems to be room even though the restaurant is relatively small. read more
Going to Gio's is always the top-tier let's talk about it! Everyone knows when you go to Gio's that's located in between the 10th and 14th St. the parking is not the best but if you look up on the spot you're good to go. After parking and getting into the restaurant, we were greeted immediately. Gio's is a place where you can order first and your food would be bought to you immediately or within 10-15 minutes after you take a seat. I ordered the Chicken Parm $24, its an extremely rich dish with lots of flavor and garlic! 10 out of 10. Bell and evans chicken breast pounded thin, breaded, San Marzano D.O.P. marinara, baked with fresh mozzarella. It comes with a salad and they gave a platter of complementary bread! Soft, warm, chewy goodness. Hubby had the famous Sorrento Lemon Roasted Chicken $24 as well. 1/2 chicken with Fresh Amalfi style lemons, garlic, wild oregano, and olio di oliva. Always the best meal on the menu! The lemon flavor on the chicken is the best. For our drinks, he had a coke and I went with the Sanpellegrino Blood Orange. We served and enjoyed our food along side some amazing company. Someof our close friends joined us as well. They ordered a pizza from Antico which is right next door but attached to Gios, also the gelato shop! They said the pizza was amazing Sicilian style pepperoni pizza. We all sat outside in the rear of the restaurant and had a great fellowship. BYOB is encouraged!! Thanks to the great staff and chefs! Looking forward to returning soon. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

One of the best italian restaurant in the little italy area, great european ambiance, service is very friendly, food taste was great, made with fresh ingredients. Very recommended. read more
The chicken had very good flavor and the portions are large. The food came with a very delicious salad. The atmosphere is a very casual setting. The only recommendation I would make is to bring your own silverware or for them to provide you with proper silverware. The chicken was difficult to dive into with plastic ware so we packed up the portions so we could enjoy at home. There are multiple places to eat and a laid back outdoor seating area. I imagine when it's not scorching hot weather you could really enjoy hanging out outdoors. read more

Perfect for my sick day in! My boyfriend is out of town right now and ordered the "award-winning" zuppa di pollo for me as a surprise via UberEats. Everything was packaged so nicely (ignore the juice, ordered from another company--also delicious though), with the Acini de Pepe pasta in a separate container so as to not get soggy/expand too much. It also came with a piece of bread that was a delicious pairing. This soup was just what I needed and tasted flavorful and healthy, chock full of pulled chicken, onions, celery, and carrots in broth. I feel myself getting better in no time! Thank you for being a part of my healing journey. Can't wait to come in when I'm well and try more dishes. read more

So I was skeptical at first because it was definitely a hole in the wall kind of restaurant. Parking is limited at the front but apparently there's a street access to the back of the restaurant and parking is available there. The guy at the counter was so nice! The waitresses were nice too, but didn't interact much. It's a "seat yourself & we'll bring the food out" kind of place. " I got the spaghetti and meatballs & omg! It was good! My friend got the lemon chicken dinner. She said it was okay. Very lemony if you like that kind of thing. They sell ice cream in the back which was good! All dinners come with a salad and bread. The salad was good!! Bread was nice and soft! Overall, it was good. Would I return? Yeah if I'm on that side of town (pretty far from where I live) read more
