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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Gio offers an "excellent dining experience" with "outstanding" menu variety and "beautifully presented" dishes. Diners rave about the "imaginative" menu and "superb" cocktails. The ambiance is elegant, and servers like Ray and Molly provide "friendly, professional" service. Don't miss the lobster and halibut, frequent highlights of a memorable visit.

    I am writing a review under protest. It is beyond ridiculous that I have to verify my account and then use 2FA just to leave a review. Will not do this again unless you change this to make it user friendly. So only leaving a review now because the dining experience at Gio was excellent in every way and the restaurant should not suffer because of the stupidity of your review process

    Thank you Peter for the wonderful review and taking the time to do so. Our apologies for OpenTable's process, we will send your comments to our contact with the company. We hope to see you in again

    The menu is outstanding. We had the lobster, however we found the overall menu to be superb as far as an array of interesting dishes. Our dessert was the blueberry trio and it was beautiful and delicious! Our server - Ray was efficient and informative. We would definitely dine at Gio again!

    Thank you for the great review Mary. I will pass along the praise to Ray, she is a great member of the team. Looking forward to seeing you in again.

    Delicious, interesting and well executed food. My scallops were perfect and the lobster my husband devoured was very tasty. Our server was friendly, helpful and professional. The wine list and cocktail menu were well curated.

    Consistently great food and service! One of the very best, and in my opinion, under rated restaurants in Halifax. Menu is imaginative and with a great wine and cocktail menu. If you can’t decide what to choose, ask your server, they have not steered us wrong once!! You won’t have any trouble finding something delicious from start to finish!
    GioResponded on 6 September 2026
    Wow! Thank you Sean for the wonderful review. Looking forward to seeing you in again soon.

    Excellent experience. Menu was diverse and complex and delicious. Unique ingredients that the wait staff was very knowledgeable and answered many questions about. I had the strip loin that was perfectly prepared, tender, medium rare and delicious! The Cornish hen was perfect with truffle mashed potatoes. Dishes were beautifully delivered. The ambiance was elegant, just right lighting and quiet enough for conversations. Staff were appropriately attentive and very enjoyable. Great evening! I highly recommend!

    Halibut was delicious but Pork belly indifferent - tough and fatty. First time in this usually excellent restaurant that I haven't been completely happy.
