Amazing food, both mains and desserts also amazing service. Highly recommend, would definitely come again. 5****** .

Excellent staff welcome us , friendly relaxed atmosphere. Great choice on the menu . Delicious food served and a super meal either drinks was very reasonable priced . Highly recommend.

We tried this restaurant after walking past a couple of times recently, and we are so glad we did! We were seated whilst the restaurant was fairly quiet, and were pleased to find homemade pastas that were a little different to most average Italian restaurants, we had spaghetti with clams, perfect pasta with huge clams, seasoned beautifully, and truffle tagliatelle served at the table in a Parmesan wheel, which was quite possibly the nicest thing I have eaten in a long time! Perfect portion sizes and small but very decent wine list. We also tried the homemade tiramisu which was fantastic too! Service was friendly even though the young lady serving us was on her own with 20+ customers! We will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends! Thanks for a lovely evening!

Sí, recomiendo este lugar. Tuve un almuerzo encantador aquí con los viejos. Bonita decoración Personal amigable. Darle una oportunidad.

We really enjoyed our visit to Gio’s. The food was amazing- the portions were generous. The service was great and super friendly. I would definitely go again and will be taking friends and family there.

Tasty ice cream and excellent size scoop 😋😋😋

First class service and first class food. Starters, main course and wine were exceptionally good. And excellent value for money. I wish we lived closer to Bournemouth. Would visit often

Had to give my experience there three stars as we waited soooo long until we were served. The staff did apologise for us. There was one waitress and a man helping her but they needed more staff to serve the crowd. Definitely will go back in hope there’ll be enough staff next time.Their food made the difference.

I bought a take away pizza margherita with mushrooms toppings and I was charged £13. When at home I checked prices in famous online delivery platforms and margherita costs £9 and toppings £1 each. When I called to the pizzeria the person on the phone said that it was a 'computer system mistake' as he put my pizza as ham and mushrooms, otherwise margherita is £10 and toppings £1.25 according to him (more expensive than in online food delivery platforms). He never offered to give back money wrongly charged, he was only blaming 'tge system'. The pizzeria has no website to check prices, so be careful when charged as you might be overcharged. Also pizza was nothing great, not much flavour and base quite hard, eatable but just 5/10. I do not recommend it.

No sé si realmente llega a la cima, pero debe estar muy cerca. Slimey, insípido, increíblemente asqueroso incluso para los estándares ingleses.

The front of house staff were polite and helpful. Unfortunately, the organisation of the restaurant left a lot to be desired. Their website made a big deal about the 3 pizza bases. Regrettably, only one was available, (Gluten free, with a surcharge of £2.50). They were going to charge us the extra £2.50, until I pointed out that we were given no choice! Items on the menu were missing, or there was hardly any of them, when the food was served! Cold plates, tepid Peroni beer etc. The food was edible, but very disappointing.

Our first time visiting, friends catching up over lunch with our children. A group of 2 adults and 5 children (mixed ages). We had amazing food, from 2 different stalls - had chicken and tacos. The portion sizes were huge and tasted amazing. Staff were friendly and welcoming, the tables and surrounding areas were clean. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

Good food, good atmosphere, and fabulous staff. What a find ! We cannot fault this lovely restaurant the food really is exceptional, I doubt that you would get better in Italy ! Our waiter and waitress were smiley friendly and nothing was too much trouble . We loved it so much we went back the next day to eat here . We highly recommend it, you won’t be disappointed. Great value as well!! Pauline and Alison

Served by Nathan and he was lovely! Super attentive and very welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again :)

Wasn't expecting much and it really didn't deliver even that. We only went because we had a red letter days voucher as a Christmas present, this was for a boat trip that was cancelled so had to pay £6 extra for a Prezzo experience. Don't bother, this place is expensive for what it is which is basically a low rent Italian restaurant that has ideas above it's station. Food was very bland not a lot of taste and once you told them you were on a voucher you were then treated like a second class citizen. Not the best experience and won't be returning
