Since 1996, Gio's has been bringing authentic Italian flavors and warm hospitality to the heart of Manchester.

Authentic Italian cuisine at Gio's Manchester

A Passion for Italian Tradition

For nearly three decades, we've been dedicated to serving the finest Italian cuisine in Manchester. Our story began in 1996 with a simple vision: to create a place where authentic Italian flavors meet warm, welcoming service.

Located in the heart of Manchester, opposite The Midland Hotel and moments from the Opera House, Gio's has become a beloved destination for theatre-goers, hotel guests, and locals alike. Every dish we serve reflects our commitment to traditional Italian cooking methods, fresh ingredients, and the warm hospitality that Italy is famous for.

★★★★★

"I usually keep my culinary delights to myself, but I simply couldn't resist sharing this stunning "Piatto di Pesce" from @giosmanchester! The food was fabulous, beautifully crafted and artfully presented. And let's not forget the exceptional service from Lil and the team, who made the experience even more delightful."

★★★★★

"Fantastic a Italian meal here this evening. We're off to a show and fancied a nice meal. Gio's didn't disappoint. Friendly staff and a really nice atmosphere. Fillet steak was cooked to perfection. My wife had the tuna. Both delicious. Peter served our table and was attentive and couldn't do enough for us. A wonderful experience. Highly recommended for a pre show meal or a treat when in town. We hadn't booked but were in early and it was a lot busier as we left."
