SO GOOOOOD!!! 10/10 WOULD ABSOLUTELY COME AGAIN. they can litterally make any meal even if it's not on the menu and the surrounding area is such a vibe. Also because it's all homemade u can litterally taste the love and the lack of additives against stuff like cheesecake. Servers were great, owners were great, come to GIO'S!!!!

I recently visited Gio with my friends, and we had an amazing time! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The food was outstanding; each dish was bursting with flavor, and you could tell a lot of care went into every plate. To top off the experience, the chef came out to greet us at the end of the meal, which was a nice personal touch. I highly recommend Gio for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a memorable dining.

It's an almost 30 yr fam institution, so who am I to question with that longevity, but I don't get it. Just pretty ordinary Neopolitan Italian with a mostly standard menu. Lots of daily choices. Honey in a nice simple way but not special that I could see after trying several salads, nicely presented, and eggplant Parm, all of which were fine but not close to exceptional. Others in my party are regulars, so this works for some, but despite the warm and interesting chef who came by and chatted briefly, just another spot, albeit its Encino location, which is somewhat of a good restaurant desert, may make it a good local option. Don't want to mess with 30 years of a fam biz. Just different expectations, I guess.

Saw amazing reviews online, and ordered a pizza to go. The crust, The taste and everything was incredible, however in a very small package. I was kind of surprised when I saw the box and saw that it was the size of a personalized pizza for the size of a large. You do get what you pay for. It's a family oriented, kitchen that looks amazing. I have never eaten there but I'm inclined to dine in next time for an authentic Italian experience.

The BEST homemade pizza and pasta in LA?. And I even got to practice my Italian dialect ?

Vegetarian options: Many. choices.

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten-free, but when I go there, I eat everything. But it’s wonderful that they do cater to vegetarians vegans and gluten-free and I appreciate that. I think Restaurant should be like that in my opinion

We’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and tonight was it, and it did not disappoint.

The menu offers something for everyone and it is fresh, flavorful and delicious. They offer a variety of soups, I had a puréed cauliflower soup that was so velvety smooth, chicken in a fig balsamic sauce, lobster ravioli and spaghetti with a light and flavorful marinara. My husband had a beautiful starter of burrata & pear, so good He had the Saltimboca which he devoured. Good portion sized meals. Finished with a lovely piece of tiramisu and chocolate soufflé with gelato. We both just ate and barely spoke to each other. ?

Even the bread served at the beginning with an olive tapenade was hot and delicious.

The chef is amazing in both personality and skill. The staff is friendly and gives excellent service.

A must try and a must return! I already know what my next order will be out on the patio.

Came in for lunch on a weekday. The guys are very nice, food is superb and nice intimate setting indoors and extended seating outside. The lunch special is great, I ordered the chicken parm which is lightly breaded and includes pasta or polenta, soup or salad and a drink for $20. The restaurant is on the second floor so it's easy to miss. Highly recommend.

I originally came to this restaurant with my friend for a dinner wanting to try a different restaurant and then I brought my husband for a date night and we keep going back! We truly never knew italian food until we tried Gio's. Everything is so delicious and authentic. Tonight we had brusccheta, clams and muscles in a superb sauce, steak and seafood trio with lobster and clams and for dessert we had the tiramasu and homemade truffles with Gelato. There are no words to describe this fantastic food, cozy atmosphere and all the employees are so polite and lovely! Tonight we met Jessica who is so sweet we were so happy to find out the restaurant is family owned and operated. Chef Roberto makes the best Italian food in SoCal. We will be back for many more date nights!

Love this restaurant! Food is fantastic and the service is outstanding. Whenever we eat here, the staff makes us feel like family. They have an ever changing list of delicious specials, and the "house made" pasta is awesome. Bravo Gio Cucina!
