Reviews for Gino's Italian Ristorante-Bar in Meridian, ID

Make sure you have a reservation, this place is busy! Went to Gino's for my birthday. Showed up a little early for our... reservation. We wound up getting seated in the bar area early. Our server Garrett was pleasant and helpful, so we decided tokeep our table near the bar, seemed quieter there anyway. We ordered an appetizer, a tamato and bruchetta dish....which wasamazing, a dinner salad and entrees. The salad was fresh and tasty. I ordered veal and peppers and my better half ordered bakedzitti. Service was a bit slow, but it was a full house. We ordered a bottle of wine from the wine list and settled in. Our foodshowed up hot and delicious. The sauce on her zitti was fantastic, and my veal and gnocchi dish was great as well. Service wasreally good here , even though they were slammed. We've put Gino's on our list of places to go back to. We can't wait to trymore of the menu. Read more

Great place for a nice dinner date or family sit-down. Oil/garlic mix and pillow soft bread was a perfect start to our meal. The... juicy stuffed mushrooms were definitely the star of the show and most delicious menu item we ordered. Pesto gnocchi and pancettapasta were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Disappointed that a few of our top dessert choices were sold out but the ones weordered were still divine. Definitely try to snag a table at this spot. Read more

Good service . Bread and garlic with oil is the awesome . I had spaghetti Bolognese and wife pesto Noki. The appetizers of... mushroom are nothing to sleep on and to top it off the berry yummy cheesecake Read more

Empty glasses and empty plates. If I could give zero I would. This place is absolutely horrendous. I get it your backed up,... but 1 hour for food is ridiculous. Its Thursday evening and not even every table in your restaurant is sat. No managervisible, no supervisor. Barely old enough staff to work and hardly handle the business here. Can't believe this place is evenopen. Read more

Absolutely terrible customer service the food is ice cold. I live less than a half a mile away and ordered for takeout and this... is what I received for $60, do not waste your money or time here the manager ended up refunding my money but did not apologizefor the terrible experience or let down in portion size and food quality. I Do not recommend this place. If I could give -5stars I would. Read more

Amazing food! We enjoyed everything we ordered. I overheard everyone talking about how good the food was. If you have time to... wait took a while for food to come out otherwise 5 stars. Read more

Great restaurant! This was the first time in a really long time I'd been in so everything was like brand new to me. Our server... Nina was super nice and helpful with menu choices. I had the lasagne di mare which was delicious. Husband had the tortelliniquattro fromagio with shrimp added which was also great. The seasoned olive oil that comes with the bread is the best I've everhad at any Italian restaurant and I totally want to try making it at home. The prices aren't bad for what you get. The tiramisufor dessert is also definitely worth a try. Read more

Being new in the area we met another couple here for dinner. They eat here on a regular basis and felt we would enjoy it. We... very much did and found the food to be very good, an imaginative menu and a good wine list. I had the smoked boar hock and itwas outstanding. My wife had the seafood fettuccine and she really enjoyed it. The other couple had a calamari salad andfettuccine Bolognese. All of the meals were fantastic. The service was both efficient and friendly. Read more
