First-time carry-out (Bellbrook, Ohio location). We live less than a mile away, but, frankly, didn't know Gionino's was in the strip-mall right next to DrugMart. A friend told me about them today and much she liked the chicken, which she has delivered frequently. So, we got the fried chicken. It was very good. The drumsticks/thighs were a bit overcooked, but the flavor was wonderful. The chicken breast was very good, moist, tender.

We have never had anything that wasn't awesome. We get our pizzas well done. They put the pizza back on the conveyor half way thru. That is perfect for us. We don't have to tell them how we want our pizzas, they have the info in their system. When I call they say...
