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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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!

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!

The waitress was really friendly and was able to advise on different dishes.

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.

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.

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..

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 !!!

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

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic night tonight for my mother’s birthday; great food and selection of drinks, and our server Kat was lovely and patient with the kids. Birthday cake at the end was a nice touch too. 10/10 no notes

Service was good, very polite and professional. Seating was extremely cramped for 3 people on a small 2 person table. Food I would describe as average at best, pizza and garlic breads that greasy the toppings slide off. Lobster ravioli dry and the fregola di mare had a massive lump of battered soft shell crab on top of it, which was not sold as battered. Definitely won't be rushing back.
