    Loved everything we ordered! The grilled octopus appetizer was most flavorful we’ve ever had! We love the pounded veal chop, served on a wooden board, and so large it drapes over the sides. Two of us shared and we still brought some home for a “snack”. Pasta with pesto & avocado was new to us and very tasty. It’s a wonderful local dining experience, helmed by the owner, Barj. Highly recommend

    Gio's Atlantic Beach is a very special restaurant. The food is always delicious and the service staff are exceptional. I've been going here for about two years. I live in Queens, NY which is a trip, but it's worth it. Everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
