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.
Life is a menu - Choose well

    Gio is a safe bet when choosing where to celebrate a special someone and has continued to be such for the many years I’ve been going. The quality of the dishes paired with the attentive, personable staff is hard to beat in Halifax. We celebrated my Father’s 80th here and our party had the beef tartar, the bone marrow, the rabbit, the swordfish, boar, sunchoke ravioli, and the Cornish hen and everyone left full and happy. Our waitress Terry is a professional and a delight! Can’t wait to find a reason to go back!

    Had Cornish Hen. Was surprised there was only 1/2 of the hen on my plate. Desserts were tasty and looked lovely but a little too rich. Server and table were great!

    We were seven relatives from Vancouver to Halifax who had not been together for a while. I had left a voicemail asking for a quiet spot and we were given a somewhat private space. The wait staff (Terri) was truly wonderful and cared for us as if we were very special guests. The food was very good and plated beautifully. Everyone agreed that Gio was a special place!

    Thank you for the wonderful review and comments on Terri. Terri is certainly one of gio's superstars. The team is looking forward to you next visit to Halifax and gio.
