The restaurant is modern and clean. Service was a good pace and our waitress had wonderful manners. The pasta was made in house and was super soft. My new favorite restaurant in Myrtle Beach. :) read more

The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere had a great vibe.

Excellent food, terrible service. Very slow and inattentive. Did not ask if we wanted more wine or dessert. Did not check to see that everything was ok. Had to request our check even 15 minutes after receiving a to go box. read more

Excellent service and food. The drinks were good to start with. We Had an old fashioned and a martini. The old fashioned was a little watery. The martini the waitress brought was the wrong one but after she brought the correct one it was really good. This was the only issue all night. We both had really good meals. We had an appetizer of escargot and it was excellent. My wife had lasagna and I had a pasta with scallops, shrimp and crab claw meat. Very good on both meals. We will def be back. read more

This place was so good! One of the best Italian spots in Myrtle Beach. Everything came out so fast and was so good. I really loved their soup that had parmesan cheese and zucchini. My boyfriend got the penne vodka and i got the raviolis. Everything tasted amazing. I especially loved that they wrote their name onto the oil for our bread. read more

The food was delicious! From start to finish: wow. Even the bread was good. We got the Meatball Gios appetizer and it was so good, we kept scooping up the sauce. My boyfriend then picked up the plate and licked it lol. Yes, it was that good and you may find yourself doing the same thing. No shame. Just enjoy it. You're on vacation. I ordered the Broccolini & Pancetta which came with black noodles... wow. So different. I had to mentally prepare my brain to eat them because I'm not used to eating black noodles. BUT it was really tasty. The broccolini was perfecto. My boyfriend's dish was also delish (I tried it). We really wanted to eat dessert, but just couldn't as we were so full. This place is a treat. MUCH better than Olive Garden or any other chain. read more

We had a group of 10 adults and 2 children (under 2). We got there at 5:00 PM and they sat us at a table in the corner. Felt like an after thought. Our server Rose was very accommodating and apologetic. It took over 1.5 hr for us to get our food. We saw several tables with only a few people come and go while we were there. It was clear the kitchen was prioritizing smaller groups at our expense to move more people through the restaurant. We were all very frustrated. Fortunately the food was delicious and Rose was quick to get our bills. Our suggestion would be to not go there during busy times as they do not seem capable of handling a full house in a timely manner. read more

A very good meal. The service was great. For appetizer we ordered the fried calamari. There was a sauce drizzled over the calamari which, after a little bit turned the calamari a little soggy. I think making it a dipping sauce instead to keep the calamari crispy. Caesar salads were very good. I also got a cup of minestrone soup which was very tasty. For dinner my niece ordered fettuccini Alfredo. She enjoyed it. Big portion so she didn't finish. My sister ordered penne ala vodka which she enjoyed. I ordered a chicken dish with pasta and Alfredo sauce called Paglia el Fieno. Very filling. The chicken was tender and juicy. All in all a good visit and I would go here again. read more

We were so disappointed while dining at Gio's tonight to celebrate a special birthday. The service was absolutely horrible and the food was burnt. A server never came back to check on us, so we literally sat with burnt food. When he finally came back we mentioned it to him and his response was "I'll tell the chef." The experience ruined the birthday celebration, unfortunately. For more details, a server didn't acknowledge us for over 20 mins, we never got refills on our water, the kids never got their drinks, etc. It was just a horrible experience all around. We won't be back. read more

Getting seated was a bit slow despite not being overly busy when we arrived. Once seated however, the service was exceptional. Ambiance is upscale and makes for a lovely night out with someone special. The pasta and sauce had a marvelous flavor palate and left me wanting more, even as I got too full to finish! I have no qualms about recommending Gio's. read more

Portion size was spot on and service was well done. Good pairing of wine to go with our meal. I was entertaining clients at the time. It would be a nice change of pace for the family to go instead of the buffets and national chains. read more

Of all the Italian restaurants in MB I was happy to have gotten into Gios on a busy Sunday during the holiday weekend. I ordered the Halibut Mediterranean and it was multidimensional, flavorful and fresh. Although my salad order was wrong I didn't need it anyway. The tiramisu was beautiful, cakey and delicate. I was so stuffed but I had to help my daughter finish it. She wasn't struggling by any means but I had to. read more

We were steered to Gios by a local person and weren't disappointed. Two locations here, we were in north Myrtle beach so that's where we went. Staff was friendly and we were seated promptly. I had the fish special which was a mahi fillet Mediterranean style over a bed of penne. Also at the table was an order of chicken parm,veal Sorento and chicken piccata. All four were great. Portions were big enough for to go boxes. No room for dessert, but the offerings were very tempting. The atmosphere was nice not real fancy. Give it a try. I'm here for a couple of more weeks and will try to do it ag read more

great food great service everyone was so nice especially the manager and they did a fantastic job

I recommend do not book a party larger than 8 people at this restaurant. My family and I were from out of town celebrating an engagement dinner, which the reservations for the occasion was booked a few months in advance with the restaurant. We did monthly check-ins to ensure our reservations were solid and there was no change to the party to include confirming with the store manager the same week. Service was unsatisfactory. No one from the staff placed an order with our party or requested beverages until after 30 minutes after being seated. It took approximately another 20-25 minutes for drinks to be received.No one from the staff or manager came by to communicate any troubles with orders or delays. The staff continued to hangout by the registers and bar area. Communication was never established until they were ready to provide service. Upon receipt of our beverages we were asked for our main course. The main course was not received until approximately 50 minutes later. The staff did not provide any updates until my party asked the status on the main course. One of the staff was very unpolite, while our party main concern was being served in a decent and timely manner. We party remain very professional with the staff but it became very challenging to have younger children in the party without even starters sent to our table. After a couple times reaching out to other staff members to get support and not to take away from our celebration. The main course arrived. They were not synchronized well on who ordered what in our party. Our family was very patience but the staff did not make it any easier with the energy they delivered during delivery. ***The manager the night of 3 August*** Had a discussion with her very professionally and explained to her in detail. The food was not the issue of concern. The service was Very UNSATISFACTORY. Her response was I am doing my best to train them and we are short staff. Response was received but not once were we greeted by her and/or she coming by with her staff under instructions to ensure they were providing the right customer service. We observed her hanging out by the bar having social hour with staff who were not engaged with other parties. We also noticed it was not very busy that evening as well. The kitchen was doing their best as we could tell but the staff on the floor did not support them at all. The Female Manager and I continued our discussion about the service and I will truly felt there should be a accommodation on our side after nearly being at the restaurant for over 4 hours unintentionally on my family end due to the lack of service provided. She told us she could no removed the automatic 20 percent gratuity and it would take additionally time to close out all checks. After addressing my party about her inability to provide accommodation, we requested from her a solution. So partial of our party was forced to pay on because they had been there for so long and it became exhausting to continue to sit around with the atmosphere becoming no longer enjoyable. She promised to work some type of gift cards for us, her stating she has the power to do so under her control with out higher management approval. Understanding the circumstances that most of my party were from out of the area. We never left with those cards. It was a complete disaster and she never came back to follow up but just sat around complaining to her staff about them taking larger parties in front of my family. UNSAT representation for the brand. read more

I went to Gio's for my birthday and it was such a great experience in Mrytle Beach. Will definitely go again! I had the Veal parmigiano and my girlfriend had the lasagna... no complains. Also, the table side Old fashion is a plus read more

The atmosphere and food here is one hundred percent five star quality. The restaurant is noisy, but it's to be expected from an open area

TO START WITH One of the best Italian meals we've had since we are on vacation. Everything we ate was phenomenal. Would definitely come back and recommend this to anyone who loves Italian food. But when you are going to up charge for a caesar salad it should be good and larger than the house salad, by good i mean a real caesar salad ( anchovys and real dressing) read more

Gio's is an excellent Italian restaurant. They bring you a salad in a chilled plate. The entree portions are good. The quality of the food is exceptional. The waitstaff is well trained. Their prices are reasonable. An excellent choice for a very good Italian restaurant. read more

Although we're locals, we only discovered Gios recently. The meal was generous, piping hot, and absolutely delicious. The ambiance was exceptional, creating a fantastic dining experience. Gios has quickly become our new go-to Italian restaurant. read more

Wow the food and ambiance was amazing. This is seriously yummy Italian food. I got the chicken Parmesan and pasta and it was so good. I felt guilty eating every bite on my plate!!!! It's also pretty fancy and was fun to dress up and go there for dinner! read more

Food is amazing, our new favorite Italian spot. Everything is fresh and consistent! The decor is tasteful, bar is always full! Make reservations before you go! read more

We visit Gios every time we come to Myrtle Beach. It is amazing every single time. Service is impeccable. It's nice and quiet. I would recommend a reservation. The food and drinks are amazing. We will continue to come. EVERY SINGLE TIME. read more

We chose this restaurant due to some of the good reviews and it didn't disappoint. One of the best Italian meals we've had since we are on vacation. Everything we ate was phenomenal. Would definitely come back and recommend this to anyone who loves Italian food. read more

The service was excellent. Chris was fantastic. The food was delicious and tasty. Highly recommend Gios. Will be back.

The food and service was excellent! Very professional waiter. Filled water many times during meal. We were very needy and requested many extras from our waiter and he continually met our request with a smile. I had spaghetti amatriciana and it was very good, as good as Rome. I don't usually see in American Italian restaurants. Minestrone soup was good but a little different with many potatoes. We will be back. read more

Came in late without a reservation they were able to seat us quickly. Had a great server. Great wine selection, mojitos we're on point. Raves on the Chicken Marsala Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken Was also good. The chicken scarpino Rello was a different preparation. Very crispy chicken in a dark balsamic Demi. No sausage and peppers were not the usual spicy cherry pepper. Was tasty but not the traditional preparation. I would definitely return. read more

I can't believe we tried a different Italian place on our vacation before trying this one. Gios was actually closer to our hotel and turned out to be as magnificent as the other place was a disappointment. We had two dinners here; the first was by consensus the finest meal we'd had all vacation. The second we chose as the capper to our vacation -- and it turned out to be one of the finest dinners I've ever had anywhere! First night I had the lobster ravioli, a selection from the permanent menu that came with onions, tomatoes and basil in a pink/orange sauce. It was absolutely fantastic; the sauce was almost like a rich tomato basil soup, and it complimented the sweet lobster ravioli perfectly. It was so good I was tempted to order it again on the second night, except that there was a seafood risotto on special that sounded like it had to be tried. I don't think I have the adjectives to describe here how good it was. My spouse and I just kept exclaiming to each other between bites, and when the server came over we did the same thing to him. Shrimp, scallops and lobster meat all blended together perfectly with a light tomato sauce -- perhaps a vodka sauce? -- with risotto. Everything else was great, too -- the wine, the dessert we had the first night, and other items on the menu also. Service absolutely top-notch. Incredibly, it wasn't even that expensive. A five-star dining experience for a pretty reasonable price. What a wonderful capper to our vacation! read more

My husband and I went here after hearing many wonderful things about it. We had been told that Gios was one of the top Italian places in the Grand Strand. I would recommend reservations as I don't think many people were being seated by walk ups. Our server was great! She was on top of things, gave great recommendations and overall very pleasant. We had the calamari appetizer based off of her recommendation. It does have olives on top, which I didnt mind but my husband is not an olive fan (he just brushed it off of his). Regardless we both thought that it was great. For our main meals, we had the lobster ravioli and he had one of the specials that consisted of lobster tail, scallops, shrimp over a bed of pasta. His meal was better than my lobster ravioli. It didnt have enough taste, not enough spices, I really couldn't pinpoint it but it was somewhat bland. We would definitely go back but try something different. Overall a great experience read more

Here on golf vacation with 15 other guys. Thought we would look for dinner first night that wasn't too over the top pricing. Expected an ok meal for a decent price based on the reviews. We couldn't have been more wrong, the food was great and the restaurant staff was amazing. Everyone couldn't stop raving. We'll be back next year. read more

Our 1st time here--had heard good reviews. Food very good; service horrible. We had to wait almost 1 1/2 hours for our food. Had reservations and were seated in front dining. Small area and tables very crowded. It was 45 mins before anyone spoke to us. We finally stopped a waitress and asked if she could help us and she said she would have to get our waitress. Our waitress came and said she had "been busy in the back". Placed our wine order waitress came back and said they were out of. Had to find a second choice. Placed order for soup and salad that comes with entree. The soup was pumpkin and the salad had $3 upcharge not sure for what. Ordered the special entree of angel hair pasta with jumbo shrimp, lobster and clams. Waitress came back and said out of clams they'd substitute mussels. Other entree was Gios signature chicken with mushrooms, artichokes and sun dried tomatoes. We got served one glass of wine but she forgot the other. Had to ask for bread. Bread was warm but the oil/vinegar small amount (did like "gios" written in it!) 20 mins later no other food had come out. Asked for soup/salad ahead of entrees. Soup was pumpkin (just okay) and the salad was very small (just 3 bites!). Had longer wait for entree. Not sure why it took so long because restaurant was not full. Our entrees finally came (and it had been over hour and a half when we got them!). They were delicious. Hot, fresh, and Very good portions, but not worth waiting so long. The service was horrible by our waitress. She was not attentive and no where to be found most of the time. We had to ask another waitress to please find her so we could get our check. No excuse for this poor service. Hope restaurant management will take note of this so others don't have to wait so long to be waited on and to get their food. read more

Had a lovely dinner here last night. There were 7 of us. We had no reservations but they set us up with a nice table. The staff were very accommodating as my mom was celebrating her 95th birthday with us. Our waiter, Cris, was great. He recommended a good red wine to go with our meal. The shrimp and scallops with spaghetti was very good. The fillet minion and lobster was excellent as well. The only meal that wasn't so nice was the Modena chicken as it was a bit on the saucy side. Ambiance was great, and so was the service. Overall an excellent place to dine that is not touristy at all which is what we were looking for. Highly recommend this place read more

I highly recommend Gios because their authentic Italian sauces are made fresh in house, and they have a great selection of items on their menu. Their soups are also freshly made, and very authentic based on my time living in northern Italy. The service is also very good. The only negative, if there is one, is that they get crowded, so make reservations, and because of the crowds and the bar next to the dining areas, it is a bit loud. I suggest not going on Valentine's Day, or other major holidays because they tend to overbook, and the wait time for food is very long. We went on Valentine's Day, and we didn't go back for months because of the noise, and wait time for food. read more

We reserved Gios for a party of 9 , this past Friday at 6:00pm and we were seated upon arrival at a very busy restaurant .
