GINO’s Restaurant & Bar offers a cozy and intimate atmosphere, despite its small size. The Italian-themed decor adds to the charm, creating a warm and inviting space for diners to enjoy their meals.I must say, the food at GINO’s Restaurant & Bar exceeded all expectations. It was a true 10/10 experience, and we were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of the Italian cuisine. We took advantage of the Tuesday wine special, with glasses priced at $5 each. Additionally, we ordered a kids’ pasta, which was surprisingly generous in size. All the main courses we tried were equally impressive, and the option to add a Caesar salad for an extra $5 or the soup of the day for $4 was a nice touch. We sampled the lasagna, pasta zitti, and jumbo ravioli, all of which came with delicious bread on the side. The portions were so generous that we couldn’t finish everything on our plates.Considering the quantity and quality of the food, as well as the inclusion of a glass of wine, the price per person was incredibly reasonable, coming in at under $25. This is exceptional value for money, especially for authentic Italian cuisine.Overall, GINO’s Restaurant & Bar is a place we will definitely be returning to. It truly transported us to Italy with its authentic flavors and generous portions. If you’re in the area, this is a must-try dining destination.
Food is fantastic, authentic Italian flare so to speak. Good portions. It’s just the place is getting a little too tight and longer wait times when it got busier. I guess dine earlier right at 5 or earlier to avoid crowds during dinner time

Bread was delicious, sauce on lasagna was too sweet for me, other than that meals are huge, homey atmosphere.

My girlfriend and I were meeting up after work to get some dinner and a friend from her work told her about Gino's. She was told it's a great "hole in the wall" spot that isn't a typical chain restaurant. Her friend was absolutely correct. We got garlic bread and some bruschetta. She had the salmon with gouda cream sauce and lobster ravioli. I got the Gnocchi with gouda cream sauce and grilled sirloin paired with a cup of Italian wedding soup. Both meals were amazing! We even made room for the bananas foster over cheesecake. That was a stunning dessert. The whole atmosphere was phenomenal and the place is a great small, hidden gem. I would have to recommend that if you're into Italian cuisine and looking for something outside of the regular places, give this place a try. You won't leave disappointed. We will be coming back soon!

Vegetarian options: I love the seafood pasta with spinach fettuccine. It was magnificent and it was not one of the choices to show in the review.
