Simply stated, Gio is the definitive dining experience of downtown Halifax. Since inception in 2006, the restaurant has garnered critical acclaim from those impressed by the ambition and execution of its four-diamond food and service. Dining with a twist, expect fun aside fancy, from the atmosphere to the plate. A divine and diverse menu shifts with every season, combining the best in local and global ingredients. Open for dinner and Sunday brunch, the restaurant also offers exquisite cocktails designed to enhance your experience and features a sommelier-selected wine list. Gio's private dining can easily accommodate groups of 10 to 20 with our Chef Greg Burns offering individually crafted menus to personalize your time with us.
We are perfectly located in the center of downtown just moments away from sporting, music and theatrical venues.

    O feel more relaxing music would be nicer and just less poppy. E.g. jazz. Something more sophisticated. Excellent service by our waiter. I wish the tables were bigger - always feels crowded once drinks, plate etc. On table.

    Thank you for the feed back Ashok, we always appreciate hearing from our guests. Have a wonderful day.

    Our visit was our first to Gio. Seating setup unique and very comfortable for four folks - very easy to conduct a conversation and to be heard. The service was excellent - our server/waitress (Olivia) was outstanding. Recommended items on the menu that were delicious - she was cheerful and engaging. The food presntation was unique. Our overall experience was wonderful - cant wait to go back for another visit.
