Giovannis in Cheshire East

Gio's sourdough pizzas are absolutely delicious. The best I've had. And the staff were extremely lovely and kind. Would recommend this restaurant any day.

Visited on a Friday evening, seated upstairs. Ordered the Gamberi (king prawns in garlic oil) and the bruschetta to start with followed by Posh Hawaiian and Capra (goat cheese) pizzas with Pastaccio gelato and an Affogato (vanilla gelato, Amaretto, espresso & biscotti) for dessert. The food tasted authentically Italian, a very welcome change from the bland offerings you get from so many other places. Everything was fresh and delicious and reasonably priced too. Service was friendly and attentive despite the restaurant being busy (appeared to be family run) and the soft Italian music added to the ambiance without being intrusive. Modern decor with comfortable seating and good sized solid tables upstairs. We were visiting the area for a few days and searched Italian restaurants in Crewe. Delighted we chose Gio’s. Can highly recommend.

Went for a family meal here as it was recommended by our hotel. For starter my wife had the prawns which were lovely and I had calamari ( with was slightly overcooked but ok) my wife loved her pasta dish and my pizza was really tasty and would definitely recommend. Staff were absolutely lovely and very attentive and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Couldn't fault service at all . The wee man loved his pizza aswell. All in all a great experience and if ever in the area I would definitely recommend.

We went on Saturday for a late lunch/early tea, 5 star service, amazing food and brilliant atmosphere nice wine, spotlessly clean, we will definitely be back next time we're in crewe

I visited here as a group and we all had various meals I had garlic mushrooms to start which were very nice but thought the mushrooms needed cooking a bit longer. I tried the pasta with butternut squash and white beans , very very tasty and great to see some varied options than the norm. Everyone else enjoyed their mains too, plenty of it too. The pizzas and calzones looked amazing. Again we all had different puddings which too were equally as tasty. Just be mindful there is a service charge added to your bill if your not aware.

Go here regularly, staff are always great, food likewise, love the grappa. Just a lovely place with lovely people what else do you need?

Teanna was amazing with her customer service. She was friendly and helpful. The food was great 10/10 recommend

came here for christmas meal with friends. food was amazing, the staff were so good. the atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely. Have only been here once before years ago but will be back when I'm next in the area

Lovely resaurant with a great atmosphere. Very friendly with delicious food, an interesting winelist and excellent service.

it's such a lovely place and i had a very lovely server , tiana (hope i spelt it right) she was so welcoming and lovely the whole time she made me feel so comfortable. just over all an amazing place and the food is SO good

We went to Gios last night for my sons birthday, lovely friendly staff. Food was lovely, great value for money and the service was spot on. Thank you

Not been here for few years( lockdown etc) but same good service, great atmosphere,food great...if you ever need a "garlic fix" come and visit Crewe's best place

The staff here are absolutely lovely. There was a slight issue with our main course and when we told one of the ladies who was serving us she got it sorted very quickly and professionally. She was very keen to get feedback on the menu which was nice to see. The food was really nice, starters were lovely and the main courses all seem to be massive portions. Garlic bread on the side was divine, I think they might make the dough in house. Dessert menu looked nice but couldn't manage one - 2 courses each and a carafe of wine each too came to £60 which was less than we were expecting and a better price than other nearby restaurants.

Great service very friendly and quick. Nice atmosphere and food was very good, lots of it and very tasty. Would recommend

Family meal, we had 2 courses each, food was lovely as usual. The service was good and staff always friendly. Each time we’ve been always consistent all round. Looking forward to our next visit !!!

Best Italian bar none. Food to usual high standard with the customer service to match. Thank you very much.

A regular haunt for us which once again did not disappoint. We both had their famous and fabulous garlic mushrooms to start, followed by their fabulous lasagne. Both courses were devoured and thoroughly enjoyed. The service was (as it always is) fantastic, always genuinely friendly. Please don’t ever change Gios.

Good location, but the smell of fried food is horrendous. Especially if you've dressed up for the evening, the last thing you want is to smell like you've just been stood next to a deep-fat fryer. Completely unacceptable and the restaurant should really fix this as a priority as the food doesn't make up for the stench.

What a find, in Crewe on business and was near to the hotel. Good service and exceptional food. Bruschetta starter, not the most enticing starter usually but this was loaded with tomato and didn’t skimp on flavour. The heaty meaty calzone, wow! Had a great kick to it but not too much, fully loaded and the dough was delicious. Just annoyed I couldn’t finish it and I don’t normally leave anything on the plate, but it beat me. Excellent food, excellent value, what’s not to like. Anytime I’m back in Crewe I’m eating here.

Prompt welcome on walking in, choice of table, immediately offered drinks and left time to ponder the menu. Range of Italian food was acceptable but we skipped the limited choice of starters. Main courses were tasty and well cooked and presented. Attentive staff were excellent....

Lovely lunch for 2, beautiful restaurant and made to feel welcome from start to finish, the food was divine, will definitely be returning

Lovely lunch catch up with friends, amazing food as always, never disappoints, lovely service by the manager.we look forward to coming again.

We had a really great evening, food was excellent and staff looked after us really well, nothing was too much trouble. All our meals were hot and well presented. 👌

Took 2 business colleagues and couldn’t have had a better meal, with excellent service. The Surf & Turf was superb! Will definitely be returning.

Ordered for delivery and told that I couldn’t have the surf and turf as there was no steak if I didn’t like it then don’t bother ordering. This was by the manager whose attitude was very bad and abrupt. Date 20/06/23 Will not be ordering...

This was a small cozy restaurant. Some staffs were pleasant. Next table was quite noisy with an out-of-control toddler running around tables wild and its parents doing nothing, spoiling the pleasure for all other patrons. Free parking nearby was a plus. The main course, the...

Another fabulous visit to Gio’s, the food and service is always consistent and we love it there. We had arancini and garlic mushrooms to start, delicious. The mushrooms are a staple part of Gio’s history and I fear a petition would be put together if...

Brilliant gluten free options. The best gluten free pizza bases I’ve ever tasted, with 25 years being coeliac!

Me and my boyfriend came for a meal Friday night. The food was delicious, so flavoursome and fresh and an excellent choice on the menu, it all sounded so good I couldn’t decide! Service and speed also great, couldn’t fault our first experience of gio’s....

Went on a Saturday night with my 12 year old son, had not booked but arrived early evening and got a table. Garlic/tomato bread to share to start...lovely. My son had the Spicy sausage pizza and I had Gio's Royale pizza, both excellent. Great atmosphere...

Wonderful girls serving food, drinks keeping us happy and content. Fresh pizza was amazing too. Best we ever eaten. Loved the atmosphere and had a lovely evening with hubby. Thank you Sarah for you recommendations.

We were booked for 7:30pm and arrived around 7:25 and were greeted by a mature lady who announced you’re early! in very impatient sounding tone. It was our first visit and not a particularly hospitable reception. We waited for ages with people who had arrived later being served first - our main course didn’t come until 9pm and was mediocre at best. Certainly won’t go back - mainly due to service or lack thereof…

I popped in on a Saturday night and they kindly found me a table. Lovely food from a tight menu. Loved the Primitivo wine - well chosen. I'll be back when I'm next in town.

We've been a few times in the last few years to revisit what in the 90s was one of the best Italian's around. We really like their sister cafe Enzo's, in Nantwich, and attended a Vegan Night that they don't seem to hold anymore, which is a massive shame - for lactose allergen sufferers such as ourselves, it's a huge treat to be able to enjoy Italian staples without worrying about dairy or having to take a tablet prior to the meal. I really wish they'd bring them back because the Pizza was excellent and the vegan cake the best vegan cake I've ever had, beautiful and indistinguishable from dairy versions.After the vegan night we'd raved about this place to people and visited with another couple recently, but the food was average at best and the service a bit ponderous, which is a shame. One of the other couple's pizza's was so oily as to be inedible, and it put her off her food so she didn't complain or order an alternative as she didn't feel up to eating. I can only think the chef slipped with the oil when finishing the top. A friend had an uninspired bolognese that certainly didn't seem fresh and may have been defrosted from a pre-prepared batch, not necessarily an issue if the quality is there, it wasn't in this case. A shame that it was poor when we took another couple, the Vegan Night is sorely missed and we really hope it comes back, because that's 5 star.

Popped in yesterday and was blown away by the fantastic food, simple but packed full of intense flavour, every bite was sensational.I've eaten out a lot in the local area recently (Bears Paw, Churches Mansion, White Hart etc), but Gios tops the lot, by a distance - great service, good portions, but most of all FLAVOUR, I'll be going back very soon

Nicest pizza ever, chips to die for, dough balls delicious, perfect wine recommended, amazing staff, and we had the best table im sure. 5stars

Went here whilst working locally and a lovely friendly welcome, great atmosphere and staff. Homemade arancini balls were a lovely starter and then one of the best pizzas I’ve had for a long time, all homemade from scratch. Good selection of wine and beer inc Brew Dog. Non-pretentious, attentive staff and good old Italian restaurant, highly recommended at look forward to returning one day.

The food was clearly homemade, delicious and we left fit to burst. The staff were attentive and very friendly giving the whole place a lovely family atmosphere which is very Italian

Staff very accomodating, pizza was amazing, and they were happy for me to customise mine as I wanted extra olives, needless to say they were delightful, bases were really nice, the sauce needed a few more herbs in my opinion but all in all great atmosphere, and nice beer!! Would come again

Atmosphere was good, service good. Pizzas getting less topping and more visable crust. Seems each time we go toppings getting less!! Garlic bread was the same. Other food was ok. Drinks very exspensive..

I absolutely love this restaurant! It's my go to for birthdays, catching up with friends and date nights! They have an amazing vegan menu and always have a vegan option on the specials menu too. The meat eaters are also always satisfied with thier food! I love the vegan brownie too

I had read rave reviews so could not wait to eat there. Was disappointed. Firstly, the menu was not the same as the one online. I did not want a pizza, and the other mains were limited to chicken, meat and one pasta dish without meat/chicken. It was very mediocre I am afraid to say - was very similar to a bought pasta sauce. The spaghetti was overcooked. The waitress was extremely pleasant and obliging, The price was good but I'd rathe have paid three times the price for better food.

I've been eating at Giovanni's ever since it first opened in 1986 and have always been happy with it , but tonight I took my fiancee for her birthday and it was , without doubt , the best meal we've ever had there- absolutely exceptional. Special thanks to James for making Cathy's birthday special .

My boyfriend and I have always driven past and wanted to eat here. Glad we eventually did! Lovely inside, with a cute little bar too. I like how it has an open kitchen so customers can watch their food being made. Food was amazing. I’m vegan, and my boyfriend is a meat eater and there is so much choice for both of us. They do meat free, dairy free cheese, gluten free options etc so if you dietary requirements you won’t be short for choice. Staff are lovely too and made some nice conversation again! Looking forward to going again when it’s reopen.

Visited on Fri night with a German colleague, fantastic service and lovely food. Booked again for this week

After a 2 hour journey delay I can’t express how accommodating Gio’s were to invite us in, whilst we waited. We were welcomed with a cosy seat by the window, a glass of wine and a super tasty pizza. So glad we stumbled upon this place and will most certainly visit again (next time with full intention of this being our final destination) Look forward to returning.

Returned after last year’s wonderful visit. Enjoyed it as much as last year. Delighted too there was no sign of masks anywhere! Obviously social distance and sanitisation was in place, everyone was being sensible. To quote Giles Coren in The Times (today) ‘Nobody wants to be served by a man in a mask - the whole evening just feels like a slow bank robbery’ this was the antithesis of this! Another brilliant night with fabulous food, wonderful wine and superb service! Thank you

This was my first time at Gio's. I have lived in this town for 8 years and I can only say I regret not visiting sooner! The restaurant was beautiful, the service was excellent and I can't fault the food or wine at all. I will definitely be coming back again soon and would- and have- recommended this restaurant to others

Decided take my children out for lunch as a pre return to school treat and was not disappointed. I had the lasagne which was an absolutely beautifully, multi layered, very tasty meal, my daughter had a pizza which she really enjoyed, and my son had his favourite cheesy pasta with a side of chips- they only left empty plates!We all had beautiful deserts, I can certainly recommend the tiramisu. The waitress was really friendly and was able to advise on different dishes. The menu seems improved since my previous visit, but I would still love to see gnocchi on there as that is my favourite Italian dish! The meal was real value for money, and we all enjoyed the family treat. 5 stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a lovely meal here, the food was all great and was nice and hot when it arrived at the table. The service was brilliant, the staff were courteous and were happy to accommodate a few changes requested on the pizza toppings. Really enjoyable meal and we would definitely return.

Had a table booked yesterday with my friend and a baby. First of all, I was asked for a proof of booking as we weren’t on their list, second they tried putting us upstairs and insisted we carry the pram upstairs and the third and last was I’ve ordered a pollo Tuscany which came with spaghetti pasta! It meant to be tangiatelle pasta! And the manager turned around and said ‘oh it’s only pasta’ I said if I wanted to have a spaghetti I would of order a spaghetti! It’s totally wrong on how they haven’t even asked a customer if that’s okay to change the pasta, Absolutely out of order, terrible service from the manager and the team! Won’t be coming back.

Visited on a Saturday for Lunch in early August at a time when many other outlets were closed.This traditional family owned restaurant with spacious seating over two floors offers a wide ranging and competitively priced menu of the usual Italian dishes.The table service provided throughout the meal was good and the food perfectly acceptable. However, I have to say my own vegetarian calzone was a little disappointing in terms of content and presentation, when compared to that eaten recently in similar establishments.Situated within 5-10 minutes walk of Crewe mainline rail station its location is a plus factor.

Pasta sauce was watery and needed more seasoning. Lasagna was so dry, couldn't eat half of it. Service slow upon arrival. Didn't feel like there was an atmosphere, no music playing.

We love this restaurant the food is amazing, the staff are very welcoming. We have been coming for years. We were excited to come back when it opened after lock down. We had a lovely meal. But after eating elsewhere previously we didn't feel as comfortable as the servers were not wearing masks/visors, like in other places we'd been. They also gave us menus that were not disposable. They passed us drinks, when i'm sure we're supposed to takes drinks ourselves from the tray. These things make us think twice about coming back again. It'd be good if you would consider changing these things.

The food was fantastic with a great selection. The portions were generous and the service was brilliant. We always dine here when we are in Crewe and have never been disappointed.

Went with family & all really enjoyed it everyone ordered different dishes of the menu & each dish was fantastic. Will definitely return again.

I had the prawn starter which was delicious! Was happy with the taste of my main too although I came in thinking I’m gonna have one of the traditional Italian carbonaras. I don’t know weather it was just me or if they actually didn’t have it on the menu. Anyways the food was lovely and all staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall a great experience but could do with an upstairs bit as felt a bit cramped. Thank you to all the staff for providing us with a great service and compliments to the chefs, the food was amazing!

Booked here for valentines night. We was seated upstairs. Which to be honest isnt as cosy as downstairs. I noticed there was a valentines menu on offer but was never given the option and was only given the normal menu ..however the food we chose we couldnt fault at all I had the ARACHINNI starter.. These were risotto balls, deep fried, served with a spicy tomato sauce. Never had these before. They were really tasty.. My boyf had the chicken pate and he said it was the nicest he ever had. For mains i had the baked nudja. Also very tasty indeed. Good sized portion. My boyf enjoyed his garlic chicken ham and mushrooms tagliatelle too The nutella sundae was amazing. Served in a glass. Very reasonably priced here. Staff were very pleasant.. We did spend 2.5hours in here which is a little longer than i like but i understand it was a very busy night.. I would definetly eat here again and can not wait to try something else

Visited Gio's again to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was delicious and plentiful and the service was very friendly and very attentive. Many thanks.

Booked for 7 o’clock. Main courses came between 9.15 and 9.45. Food tasted very mediocre, my pasta seemed like it was done in a jar of pasta sauce from Tesco. My daughters had no taste whatsoever. Ordered food in advance. Not all came. The waitresses were inexperienced and there was no manager to complain to. The worst thing we’re the flies! We were upstairs and the room was teaming in flies! In January too ! Had to ask 3 times for fly spray , they didn’t have any. I had to suggest they went and bought some . So we sprayed and sprayed them the waitress accused us of ‘Nicking’ the fly spray! Was awful.Will not be going again ever !!!

Fab meal, was unexpectedly quiet for a Saturday night service was incredibly attentive and food was spot on.

What a disappointment. Booked 2 months in advance for a birthday celebration. Confusion with the order, 1 starter had to be sent back twice. We waited 1.5 hrs between starter and mains. 1 main was forgotten so we didn’t eat at the same time. When it did come the chicken was so tough it was inedible. cannelloni was terrible, no cheese, no taste. One particular waitress needs some serious training in customer service. All in all it was really poor. I have been coming to gios for the past 20+years. A birthday celebration ruined. We were given 25% of the bill when all we wanted was a a birthday celebratory meal with wonderful food. Disappointed is an understatement

Having had lovely meals and memorable evenings here, this was not the case recently. The food was poor, there was a long wait and the evening was spoiled.

Lovely place real food cooked in ovens in front of you. Delicious wine and very reasonably priced will definitely visit again

Food was fine, not amazing, and there was a really long wait between each course and then the bill. Prices were a bit much for the quality of the food.

We have been to Gio’s many many times over the years and have always enjoyed our visits. They did appear to go through a phase of massively extending the menu and with that came massively extended prices. All appears to have been reversed, the menu has been reduced as have the prices. What they do they do very well. We have been twice recently, the food has been faultless: spaghetti with chorizo/chilli, lasagna, pepperoni/pineapple pizza, spicy pizza and garlic bread, washed down by excellent house wine, all great value. The service was fantastic, genuinely friendly. We look forward to our next visit.

This is mine and my partners favourite place to eat in England. Such delicious food and the staff are wonderful.

Just brilliant. I met here with a friend as a halfway point for us to catch up, now just wished I lived closer I would go all the time. The staff were brilliant and very friendly. The food was fantastically priced, fresh and homemade. The restaurant itself is lovely and cosy. Thoroughly recommend. I will be going back again and have already recommended to family who are more local.

Local was a must on an evening pouring with rain. We couldn't have chosen better. Fabulously friendly, mouth watering menu choices and reasonably priced.

Hidden in plain sight between dodgy take aways and cut price carpet stores this was a little gem. We were in town for a concert at the Lyceum and stayed at the Best Western hotel by the station. A 5 minute walk towards town found us on the doorstep about 5:45.

Rios is a joy to visit , the staff are fantastic and the food is delicious. The Risotto balls were even better the second time around , the Pollo Tuscany was tasty and the vanilla ice cream was clearly local diary quality. Well done again Gio's.

Had three courses, 2 cocktails and bread and olives whilst we waited for the starter and it came to around £55 (for 2) which was really good considering the portion sizes.....they were HUGE! The guy serving us too was really friendly. Didn’t have to wait too long for the food either which was great.

We enjoyed a lovely meal at this restaurant that was highly recommended to me. My partner and I had pasta with a white wine sauce, which we thought it could have been less creamy and have more of a wine taste to it, but it's just our personal preference. My partner's mother ordered a pizza and the dough was a bit pale in places, but the waitress was kind enough to pop it back in the oven for a few more minutes. The team was super friendly and I would most definitely recommend this place.

I had been there before for lunch a couple of years ago and it was good. The food was excellent. I had canneloni with the most wonderful sauce, the best canneloni I have had in an Italian Restaurant. The wine was a disappointment and the only downside to a very pleasant meal.

Whilst on an overnight stay in Crewe, the hotel where we were staying recommended Giovanni. The food was homemade, very tasty and plentiful. Ian, our waiter was a delight, he was very attentive and a complete joy making our evening so enjoyable. All in all a very nice venue.

Called here by chance after hearing good reports. We can't complain about the service as there appeared to be only 2 people working (one in the kitchen and one "waiting on". They were rushed off their feet! The food was distinctly average! Not really a lot more to say!

I stayed in Crewe on business and the hotel I stayed in didn’t have a restaurant. I went out to explore Crewe and found Gio’s Italian and pizza restaurant, a couple of minutes walk away. On entering, the very pleasant staff made me very welcome and offered advise about the menu. I ordered a bruschetta to start and a super green vegan pizza. I was served the largest most appetising bruschetta I’ve ever had. The pizza was served and that was large too. The pizza was gorgeous. The restaurant is charming and has a nice atmosphere. I would certainly recommend a visit.

Very relaxed restaurant, laid back atmosphere, quality food and relatively inexpensive. The much missed spaghetti with fennel sausage was my favourite dish (sadly not on the menu now) and not one that I've found anywhere else. The Ginelli bread is the best starter/side-dish that I have eaten anywhere in the world. This restaurant is not what you'd expect in Crewe so be prepared to be surprised.

Had a great meal at Gio's, excellent service and food, good value for money and highly recommended all round.

An off chance visit, on a very wet Saturday lunchtime with an old friend . Excellent food. Garlic Mushrooms, followed by a super Lasagne and a couple of beers each. I think the bill came to £23. The service was slightly slow with a single waitress who was rushed off her feet. I don't get to Crewe very often, but will visit agin next time I am there. Great food and great value for money.

Was in Crewe on Saturday and called in to Giovanni’s for lunch. Service was quite slow as there was only on member of waiting staff on duty, but the food was absolutely sensational and great value. I opted for the lunch menu offer where if you order a main course you can select a starter for just £2. I chose the mushrooms with melted cheese and garlic over them, served piping hot in a skillet. Lovely. To follow the calzone with bolognese filling. Again, superb. I particularly liked the fact that pots of ground Parmesan cheese were freely offered. All washed down with a perfectly acceptable carafe of house white. Would definitely return when next in Crewe. 10/10.
