CHICKEN PARMIGIANA
Jeneen P.

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.

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.

Complimentary salad and bread

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.

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!

Long Spaghetti & Meatballs

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.

Lemon Chicken
Janice H.

Went with friends. You order at the counter. Food was delicious. Several people ordered the lemon chicken. I had a panini & salad.

Arrabbiata Singolo
Addy C.

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.

Chicken Parmigana

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.

Long Spaghetti & Meatballs

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!

Rigatoni
Soojin K.

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!

Chicken Milanese
Robert G.

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 !!!

My friend and I stopped by late Saturday afternoon to grab a solid meal before heading to the World…read moreCup match. The space is a comfortable small-to-medium setup with decent indoor seating and a few tables outside if you want to people-watch. I ordered the Jambalaya - NOLA-style mixed rice loaded with chicken, sausage, and shrimp. As a Nigerian, my standards for seasoned rice are naturally sky-high, but this was flawless. Everything was delicious, absolutely no notes. But the real cheat code here is Angie's Bread Pudding. I never leave this place without grabbing some to go. It's the undisputed star of the show and honestly one of the best desserts you'll find in Atlanta. Hands down a must-visit downtown spot.

The only reason I can't give them the full 5 stars is because they were out of bacon when I went. I ended up getting the egg, ham, and cheese croissant with potatoes, and it was SO good. The croissant had a slight sweetness to it that tasted like there may have been a little syrup added, and I loved it. The sweet and savory combination with the ham, egg, and cheese worked really well. The potatoes were good too, and between those and the croissant, the meal was surprisingly filling. I ate breakfast and stayed full for basically the rest of the day, which almost never happens for me. I would absolutely come back, especially if I can get my hands on the bacon next time!

A great spot near the aquarium!…read more I got the cold noodles ($17) and seafood pancakes ($19). Both were excellent. The cold noodles made for a refreshing meal, especially during the Atlanta heat. The bowl came with a good amount of noodles that had a great chew along with a tasty chilled beef broth and a boiled egg. The seafood pancakes were also delicious. They came out hot with a crispy exterior and were filled with plenty of pieces of various seafoods. They were great on their own and dipped into the accompanying sauce. All of the banchan was tasty, though I wish there were more than 3 side dishes. At least the restaurant provided complimentary refills of the banchan. The service was also great. There's a button on the table if you need help from the staff, but the staff also came by several times of their own volition to check up on us. A little sad that they don't allow solo dining for the AYCE Korean BBQ, but that seems to be the standard at most places. Note - the restaurant adds an automatic 20% tip to your check. I was fine with this because I typically tip 20% anyway, and I thought the service earned a 20% tip.

We had just finished at the aquarium and we were hungry. We headed to Park 27. The food was good…read more It wasn't the best I e ever had but it was up there.

Note that the soups are not good, so avoid these at all cost. The Tomato Basil soup was some of the worst I've ever had. Overall rating = 2.5 Salad rating = 3 Soup rating = 0

I didn't want a salad and I saw "panini" on the menu so I thought that would work out alright. I ordered the "Santa Fe." First off, they're pre-made sandwiches that sit there, drying out. And the panini "press" is barely that. The sandwich came out flat, stale and didn't have that toasted crust like you'd expect in a panini. The flavor was.....okay, but nothing I'd make a special trip to try again. And, I was expecting some kind of chips to go with it but, instead, got a limp, soggy pickle spear. Looked like the way to go was the salads. They looked bright, fresh and plentiful. Service was incredibly slow considering everything is pretty much right there, if not pre-made. With all of the other choices scattered around the food court, it'll be a while before I wait in line at this place again.

They've been desperately hiring the past few weeks and seem to be sucking at employee retention. You will probably run into a drugged out homeless person while patronizing this business. The inside is charming but in a grunge way. There's potential but it's just not hitting it these days. They didn't have any of their listed non-dairy milk options nor any bread except for naan (and no bread the second day I came). I've gone in often and they've run out of inventory with no timeline of replenishing. I was able to get a B.E.C. sandwich ONCE in the handful of times I've been here. It was decent and fairly priced, but unavailable the following visits I made. At some point I had to have a sandwich made with no bread because they were out. That was my last time there. Most of the baristas appear to hate working here or simply being on the planet lol. My last visit I was looped into an unwarranted political conversation when just trying to grab a coffee. I get that it's near a college campus so EVERYTHING is made unnecessarily political these days unfortunately, but maybe they should coach their folks to not engage unsuspecting customers in these conversations... literally just prioritize the JOB and the BUSINESS and the customer experience. I don't need or want a lecture on how unbearable you think our country is when I'm just trying to get a drink. It's a horrible business practice to assume ~anyone's~ social/political leaning and I hope we as a society can collectively move into a space where we stop normalizing this behavior. Hope they can pull it together because in theory it is a neighborhood asset. But currently? No bueno.
