Went to Gio's for the first time tonight with my fiancee. We both got the specials of the night - a duck dish in a fig reduction for him and a eurobean bass in pineapple/caper salsa, both with pan-fried gnocchi. The dishes were both excellent!

This was our third visit to this restaurant and we will keep going back for more. The touch of Italy in the food, the perfect service, and the relaxed atmosphere (with only ten tables) provides a wonderful experience.

Went once...... Love to try new places. These guys can cook. They need to open a nice place in Barrie. These guys could execute a true Italian place. I willbnot go back because I despise the atmosphere and location..... White towers...... Get rid of the advertising on the building too.... Thanks-
