Reviews for Gio Italian Grill in Macungie, PA
Goo Italian Grill is easily a treasure of the Lehigh Valley. The food is real Italian cuisine. I have not had a bad meal from... them. From the hostess right down to the busses, everyone is friendly and professional. The prices are more than reasonable forthe quality and quantity of food you are served. Read more
This place is really good. I've found the service to be generally good, the pizza to be absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere... is good. It's not particularly romantic and neither is it fine dining, more of a casual atmosphere. Read more
From the moment that I walked in the front door, I felt like family at Gio. The place screams warmth and the entire staff made... me feel welcome. Kaileigh, my bartender and tour guide, helped me select a most fantabulous wine, a 2019 Red Blend calledPrayers of Sinners that truly lived up to its description of being "deep & dark". The Gio Salad was a perfect mix of greens,protein and fresh goat cheese, and was complimented by a most delicious balsamic vinaigrette. For my entree I ordered thepiccolo version of the Giovanna pizza, and I was not disappointed: A sinfully delectable combination of spicy (thick cut)salami, homemade sausage, hot peppers, San Marazano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and some of the freshest basil I've everenjoyed! Because I could not have forgiven myself if I'd left Gio without having dessert, with a little more assistance fromKaileigh I ordered the cannoli, which was presented in such a way that I wanted to appreciate it prior to devouring it. Notonly was the shell crispy and crunchy and flavorful, but the filling was unlike any cannoli filling I've ever had. It wasalmost like they took traditional ricotta/chocolate chip/sugar filling and magically created this creamy delight that makes youwant to eat one after another after another. The coffee was fresh and hot, while the price was right on the money. I like thisplace so much that I'd plan my travel around it! Read more
Gio?s has become a pretty regular spot for us over the last few months. My wife is in love with their Penne Vodka dish, so... definitely give that one a try if you?re into it. The staff is always friendly and you always get a nice wave and greeting fromthe guy at the counter making pizzas. The portions aren?t small so make sure you go hungry and you?ll have a great time Read more
Came on a Saturday afternoon, place was empty except for us and another couple. Food came out very fast and super hot, which was... great because we were starving. The kid's Margherita pizza was delicious, crust was perfectly thin and sauce had good flavor.The kid's chicken strips and fries were good too-its a breaded chicken cutlet cut up (some kids can get picky). We started withthe calamari which was just okay, not spectacular but not horrible either but wasnt a big portion either. Hubby got the Vealsaltimbocca which he said was okay, couldnt give me specifics on why it wasnt good or bad. I got the beef tips pasta with thegorgonzola sauce and it was out of this world. Service was great, attentive but not overbearing. Would come again Read more
Was completely disappointed by my entire meal and experience. My husband comes from a very Italian family so we had high hopes.... It was highly recommended by friends. Antipasta plate was gross and not worth the money. Side salads were essentially justlettuce. I ordered the baked cavatappi, my husband the bolognese. No flavor at all. Greasy. We were severely disappointed And Ihave to say I feel like Olive Garden is more authentic and tastes better. The hostess who was the wife, was not very polite, shekept giving me looks and made me uncomfortable. Read more
We had dinner at Gio's with my family Friday evening and it was amazing. The food was prepared perfectly and the service was... exceptional. I enjoyed the Terra & Mare while my Brother In-Law had the Parmigiana. Both dishes were delicious. The other sixfamily members had wonderful dishes as well. Thank you for the outstanding quality by Gio himself. Read more
I order out from here all the time. Their steak sandwich is amazing, loaded with chunks of steak and carmalized onions. Tuscan... fries are great and their pasta salad is on point. Read more
