This was truly a pleasure. Atmosphere is upscale without being bougie. Sound a little loud depending on the crowd. Service was excellent with a shout out to the busboy that rushed over to bring us utensils when we were seated, before we even knew! Food, very good. We both had seafood pasta dishes and the were excellent! Bread was good. A very nice experience and we will be back. read more

If you like, Chef boyardee then this is the place for you. I had the lasagna and it tasted like Stouffer's. Maybe it's from being of North and having the best food, but this isn't the place read more

4.5 starts really. Service was outstanding, food was excellent, and the atmosphere was nice and calm, slightly upscale compared to most places in the area. We had the quattro formgagio, which was little purse raviolis rather that the usual squares or circles, with a marinara sauce - really good and fresh tasting. Also had the pesca del mar, which was simply loaded with seafood. The appetizer brussels sprouts were absolutely amazing. Got a lil basket of fresh bread with olive oil-balsamic dip, which is always a delight. read more

The food is very good and the atmosphere is somewhat upscale but can be noisy. Service was adequate , we started with two gin martini's and they were not on par with an upscale place. My second drink which was a lavender cocktail was very good. The meatball appetizer is one of the very best I've had . I would definitely have that again. The lasagna was very good and very large portion. Others in my party were very satisfied with their dishes of chicken Marsala , roasted chicken, and a shrimp dish. Overall a good place for Italian food. read more

Any Italian restaurant should be serving Italian bread with your order, without charging more was our feeling. Some of use ordered salad and were pleased. One of us ordered soup and was meh, very little to it in the line or vegetables or rice and quite salty. The chicken parm was good, the chicken marsala was good, the chicken sorrentino was also quite delicious. The kids didn't care for the spaghetti and meatballs. read more

We ate dinner tonight at Gio's. The service was impeccable. The seafood special was absolutely amazing. Pasta was cooked just right. And the calamari in the special was melt in your mouth tender. Everything was good. My husband had mama's lasagna, which never fails. read more

What a great place to enjoy a nice dinner. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the cuisine. It us very evident that they themselves dine here frequently. Their personal appearance is professional and meticulous. They were attentive without hovering and we enjoyed every minute of their service. There were very nice choices for the specials everyone in our party ordered something different and everyone loved what they got. The food seriously was beyond excellent. The vibe is a little dressy so leave your hats and caps in your car. 5 HUGE solid Stars I hope to visit again soon . - I'm yalls biggest fan in WA state. read more

I know there are a lot of Italian restaurants in Myrtle Beach and we are excited about our newest find of one!! Cuisine is absolutely authentically Italian- so delicious and reminded me of my Italian grandparents' cooking! We ordered the Gios meatballs for an appetizer (omg divine) and split the Caesar salad. My husband ordered the Sorrento dish with chicken as a Napoleon stack of crispy eggplant, prosciutto and mozzarella and I ordered the eggplant Parmesan, which was delicious!! I wish I caught the name of our server. She was so attentive and friendly and sweet!! Loved the cocktails too- definitely will go back! read more

Restaurant and parking lot were both half empty. We walked in for dinner with the family. Was informed walk ins weren't welcome. No explanation or apology given. Hostesses went back to giggling and talking as we walked out. Very strange experience. We won't be back. read more

I love Gios and the team, food, service, and ambience works so well I keep coming back. It is my go to restaurant anytime I have an out of town guest or important occasion this is where I go. True Italian cuisine, freshest seafood and eggplant parm to dream about. read more

Wow! A gem in Myrtle beach! The ambiance was nice and the service was great ! I would suggest making reservations ahead of time because they were pretty busy. We were in town celebrating my brother's birthday and this was a perfect choice . The food was pipping hot. We started with the mussels in the spicy sauce the sauce was amazing! I could only imagine it over pasta. The lobster ravioli was great I added shrimp. All the dishes were reasonably priced and they had a fish of the day choice which was red snapper. All the items on the menu sounded great and looked great as they passed by! They had a nice wine list as well and great cocktail choices. Highly recommend! read more

We have been to Gio's twice in the last two months as we just bought a house in Myrtle Beach. This is absolutely the best Italian restaurant we have been to since coming to the area. The restaurant is easy to get to it and has ample parking, the inside and outside of the restaurant are beautifully decorated. The staff are very friendly and professional. The menu is very eclectic and the quality of food for the price is well worth it. They have excellent cocktails and a great wine list as well as wines by the class. We will definitely be back every time we are in town. read more

Great food and menu with fabulous service. My favorite is a pasta dish with shrimp, scallops and lobster in a red sauce lightly spiced

More gluten free choices need to be added to the menu as well as gluten free bread. The salads were fresh, but the salad dressings need help. The chicken parm and marinara was excellent. The brussel sprouts were very dry and over cooked. read more

The food was really good, a bit pricey but I did ask for an add on to my pasta dish. The service was great. I will be back next time I'm in town. The ambiance was romantic perfect for date night. read more

I called for a reservation 2 weeks prior to 7/23/26 for a party of 6 for 6 o'clock. when we arrived we were shown to an area where two tables of different heights had been put together and when I sat in the chair at the one table, it was almost shoulder height. I was informed that nothing could be done about this even though there were other tables available at that time. plus the end chair sat almost in the arch way between the two rooms and the tables could have been angled better so people were not walking so close to our table constantly. The ordering - we ordered drinks and a bottle of wine that took time (about15 minutes) and then appetizers that took time- but the heavy menus were left and awkward at the table when the appetizers were brought plus we had to ask for our bread. When we were done the appetizers, the waitress finally took our dinner order. We were there 21/2 hours and the rest of the room was seated after us by quite a bit and left before us by quite a bit ( there were 2 tables of 2 and and a table of 10 most of whom were children). I was very unhappy over much of what happened. I'm from the Myrtle Beach area and have eaten at both of the other Gio's in Pawleys and Market Commons. I can highly recommend them for food , service and the way reservations are handled. I can not say the same for North Myrtle location. I addressed the table situation with the waitress and was told that's all they had - well I made my reservation well in advance and confirmed it myself and there were several other areas that could have accommodated us, so I will not return to this site nor can I recommend it to anyone. I expected better and I feel the owners themselves would not have put up with what we went through ! read more

Our party of 8 was easily accommodated. Large private parking lot. We ordered drinks, apps and entrees. We tried a little of it all, even having vegetarians dining with us. We loved our waitress. I had a special accommodation and the chef easily handled it. He even added an extra nice touch, which was very appreciated. We loved the Italian language music playing. Pretty decor. No notes! read more

Wonderful Everything!! The food is great, the service is friendly and knowledgeable and the restaurant is inviting.

Our 1st time trying Gios last night and it was amazing. From Lisa's prompt and attentive service, to cocktails made just right. The appetizers and varied menue made it hard to chose. Everyone was more than pleased with their entrees. We are now sold on it being a new favorite of ours and plan on coming back very soon! Competitive pricing and clearly run by people who are devoted to making good food. read more

They did nothing wrong, service was spot on, food was great everyone at the table was satisfied, dining room is comfortable and inviting. Coctails are the icing on the cake, can't wait for our next trip to Myrtle Beach. read more

We can hear based on a recommendation of a friend. The food was so delicious and flavorful. My favorite was the spaghetti because you could taste the flavors in every single bite. Some of the best Italian food I have ever had. My only complaint would be that the service was a bit slow but that wouldn't stop me from coming back in the future, bc everyone is short staffed these days. It is an upscale restaurant and they have a reputation to maintain so it's very reasonable they ask for business casual dress. Everyone usually brings one nice outfit to the beach anyway! read more

Gorgeous bar. Few beers on tap. The seafood risotto was delicious. (Lobster, shrimp I believe). The escargot app was fantastic. Eggplant parmigiana was cooked perfectly. Highly recommended! read more

Gios Italian Kitchen - My "salad" before the meal. So cute right? - Italian Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Excellent Italian food and drinks. The Spaghetti Bolognese is one of the best I've had, and the burrata salad to start was delicious. Great service too. It is very noisy though, which was a downside as we were trying to catch up with friends we hadn't seen in years, and it was difficult to hear them. read more

Went in and ordered carryout then sat at the bar to wait. 35 minutes later cashed out at the bar and went back to the host stand to find out where my food was. Hostess checked and came back to tell me it had just gone into the pan. Ended up getting my food about 45 minutes after I ordered. The manager/owner who brought the food out of the kitchen said something about the chef processing orders as they come in but didn't provide a reasonable explanation. That's understandable but the restaurant was not full. Busy but not full. Salad was good, bread was good, Alfredo was bland. Responding to the owner - I was not told my order would take 30 minutes. If I had been told that, my review would have been different. read more

One of our two "go to" Italian restaurants in the grand strand. Everything is just done right. Try the fried mozzarella appetizer The veal marsala was perfectly done You will not make a bad choice on any entrees. Service is excellent. Wine choices spot on.

Went here on Tuesday September 24th 2024, with my family and some friends as part of our South Carolina vacation. We were a party of 6, and they accomoddated us right away. We sat in a table in a corner, which was comfortable and fine. The chairs were also comfortable as well. First thing i saw when i sat down, they have mixed drinks and cocktails! I immediately ordered their blue hawaiian, when the server got there. Our server was Enzo, and he was very nice and professional, checked if we were okay, checked on our meals. As far as other drinks, my mom got the peer punch, 2 people got beers, and one got a wine. I very much enjoyed my blue hawaiian, and it tasted really good! We also had waters too, which were filled up constantly, and the waiter even brought pitchers of water over to our table, and left it on there so we can refill the water if we need. As a starter, one serves bread here, and it comes with a balasmic oil dip for dunking. Bread was also fresh and delicous! For Food, i was first unsure on what to get, but i settled on the Penne Ala Vodka, and i got that with Chicken since Enzo asked, and it is important to have a protein if one wants, My dad got the scallops and shrimp, my mom got a chicken dish with pasta, someone had a lobster ravoli, and others got great food. some of the food did come with a salad. Food was very good, and the pasta was very tasty, as well as the chicken was tender. Overall enjoyed this place. We got the check in an efficient manner, paid via credit card and left a cash tip. We stayed and talked, and closed the restaurant, literally. Restrooms were also very clean! But overall, hope to be back next trip, as this is a definite must stop! read more

We have been going here since it opened and had just a disappointing meal. Their meatballs are so tiny you can't see them. Flavor is spot on but cmon guys make at least a full-size meatball. My son ordered the charcuterie board, but did not read what was on it assuming it was gonna be assorted meats and cheese. Well, it was three slices of thin prosciutto and five squares of brie and a small dish of fig jam. I've never in my life had a charcuterie board with just two items and the cheese was brie. I ordered the grilled romaine salad, which wasn't grilled, and had 3 small scallops!! 3 for the add-on price?? The Veal and Chicken Parm were very good as was the soup. Kitchen service was really slow and the place was fairly empty for a Friday Night. We will stick with Gios in Pawleys!!! read more

This was our second visit to Gio's, and we found this visit to be another excellent choice as we had another great meal with superior service. This restaurant consistently achieves a level of excellence in the preparation and presentation of their meals and menu items. Their servers and other members of their team conduct themselves as customer service professionals. They are personable, friendly, and represent the restaurant as a quality dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to our next visit. read more

Great Food!!! We ordered classic Italian dishes and they didn't disappoint! I recommend the Chicken parm which was delicious. The service was silver service! Exactly what we needed! The restaurant is decorated like your class Italian restaurant ! Highly recommended for tourist or locals looking for fine dining and good food. read more

Went there for my birthday dinner. The Salad hardly filled the bowl. Blue cheese dressing was very thin, no chunks of blue cheese. How difficult is it to offer a nice salad. Grated cheese from a can. Not fresh shaved parmesan. My lasagna was ok. The penne pasta barely had any sauce. We should have sent it back. Showed it to our waitress and ask for extra sauce. She didn't tell us we would be charged for it. Our waitress should have taken the pasta back. The extra sauce tasted like Campbell Soup out of the can. We will never go back. If you want a good meal with no extra charges, I suggest Luigi's Or Carrabba's. Don't be fooled with Gio's atmosphere. read more

I love going to restaurants when they open for dinner service. Get to see how the team operates and the guests are taken care of. I received my drinks and 5 people stood around while I was trying to order dinner. Once someone got to me, the rest of my meal went great. The food is flat out awesome. Had the osso buco, and the calimari. They prepare it Mediterranean style and I'm not a fan. So I ordered it plain and it was really good. The twin cannolis were also great. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. I went back to Gios on 6/3. Went at the open. Someone greeted me, took my drink order and my dinner order. Had the Veal Mediterranean. It was spot on and with the attention I received, this is five stars! read more

The food and service is always outstanding at Gio's. We thoroughly enjoyed the Mediterranean Grouper special Thursday night. Unfortunately, like too many places nowadays the "background" music was incredibly loud. We couldn't hear the server or each other. Thankfully, they did turn the volume down because we would have left otherwise. People shouldn't have to shout to be heard in a restaurant. read more

It's very rare that I give places a rating above 4 stars but Gios has definitely earned the high rating of 4.7. I had to take a couple of points off for them not having other salad dressing options which I noticed other customers were also disappointed about the lack of options as well, hopefully they will eventually start at least offering ranch. Now on to the good stuff!!! They did an amazing job with the gluten-free pasta, it was delicious. The fried mozzarella appetizer was also very good. They also do really good with portion sizes, meaning that the plates are actually portioned for 1 serving so you'll actually have room for dessert. I would definitely eat here again if I'm visiting the area again. read more

Food service - in that order. Chianti with Cesar's salad and oil vinegar for the house made bread read more

I was excited to try this restaurant since the reviews were so good but I wasn't impressed. Had expresso martini- very good. I selected a Cesar salad that had an up charge that wasn't worth it. I had the grouper - daily special. I was NOT impressed. It was so salty that it was inedible. I told the server and was told next time it wouldt because I be salty.... Really???? Needless to say there will not be a next time. If I had gotten an apology or some kind of reaction to support my complaint, I might've been OK. The person I dined with was content with their meal. I was just so disappointed in my meal and the servers attitude with the comments from the kitchen. Who knew Gio"s has multiple locations.? Unfortunately this experience turned me off all of them. There are too many good restaurants to have to deal with the attitude and food that doesn't meet the clients expectation. read more
