    Gios never disappoints. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. They also have an extensive wine collection. We have been going there for over 5 years now and have never had a bad experience. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.

    The waitress was amazing. The veal was a little tough and the sauce was spicy for veal parm.
